The thing that irritates me about this supposed human caused global warming is that it completely ignores the Sun and its' cycles.

A change in output of 0.10% is credited by researchers as being responsible with the interglacial warm periods. Yet this is ignored ny warmists today.....

The TIME cover is a disgrace. It is disrespect in its purest form.

Letter to the Editor, / TIME

If you were to run this cute teddy bear as your cover you would receive numerous death threats. Such will NOT be the case when you showed such great disrespect to the United States Marine Corps. Perhaps in your next issue you might examine the reasons for the difference.

With all due respect, I think you have to be either off your meds or on some mind altering medical experiment to jump to such a leap that this cover is somehow disrespecting the USMC or the battle for Iwo Jima. Confused
You have three Democrats planting a redwood in a pile of wood and the writer is showing the extreme extent they're pushing Global Warming.
Unless you read the article, going beyond the headline, which ties into the cover, you can't even begin to understand.
Again, I think the discussion of disgrace has been pushed to the absurd. Roll Eyes

It should be noted that the "TIME" magazine cover that was shown at the top of this tread, was NOT the one that was distributed. It was a "spoof" of the actual one.
To avoid any additional confusion, I moved it to the "Impossible to.....thread

Everyone has the right to their feelings and opinion. I just don't see the irreverence. It's not a parody. I don't see it that way, nor do I take it that way.

Here's what puzzles me. My two Marine uncles, who were over there and one of them almost died from the severity of his injuries, have never acted in the way I witness you guys act about the slightest thing. Whether it's off color, questionable, or innocent, it's warped into an illogical response by people on this forum.
Their thought has always been to act like a duck in water, accept some information as being valid, learning not to read too much into anything, and understand the unknowing, unBTDT, whatever, may be ignorant, but not intentionally mean spirited.
The gist of the Time's article was to attack the problem, just like we attacked battles in WWII. It's not shadowy. There's no underlying intent on anyone's part to besmirch the Corps or anyone's gallant fight in the battle.
I think it has turned into a "Tempest in a Teapot". Let it go, before you blow an artery.

WELL, HERE'S WHAT BOTHERS ME ABOUT IT....THE FACT THAT THESE LIBERAL MEDIA/"NEWS" OUTLETS REFUSE TO THINK BEFORE THEY ACT/SPEAK/PRINT.
THEY FREELY, WITHOUT THOUGHT OF THE REPERCUSSIONS, (OR THE DISGRACE FACTOR) CHOOSE HEROIC, WARTIME PHOTOGRAPHS, WHERE MANY HAVE SHED BLOOD AND LOST LIFE... WHERE YOUNG MEN, SENT OUT TO WAR IN A FAR OFF LANDS, NEVER TO SEE THEIR FAMILIES AGAIN AND MOTHERS AND FATHERS, NEVER TO SEE THEIR BOYS AGAIN, SIMPLY TO PUSH THEIR AGENDA.

WITH ALL THE IDEAS OUT THERE, STILL WAITING TO BE HARVEST THAT THEY COULD HAVE USED, THEY CHOOSE TO USE AND STEP ON, WITH OUT A CONSCIOUS, A PIECE OF AMERICAN HISTORY....AMERICAN PRIDE. (THAT IS LOST BY THE WAY) THAT'S WHAT I CALL MARKETING LAZINESS AND JUST PLAIN DISGUSTING.

THAT'S THE PROBLEM I HAVE WITH IT.

YEAH, RIGHT....THAT'LL BE THE DAY.
AS FOR "HAVING THE BALLS". Hmmmmmm. THEY ONLY HAVE THE BALLS TO DISCREDIT ANYTHING GOOD THAT HAS TO DO WITH AMERICA OR THOSE WHO PROTECT IT.

FIGHT FOR OR STAND UP FOR THE GOOD OF OUR COUNTRY?....... NO BALLS AT ALL.....EVER! THEY THINK WE'RE THE CAUSE OF THE WORLDS PROBLEMS. HOW INSANE IS THAT? IF IT WEREN'T FOR AMERICANS, THERE WOULD BE A LOT MORE STARVING PEOPLE IN THE WORLD....A LOT MORE TERROR AND A LOT MORE DEATHS. NOPE! THE PROBLEM IS TWO FOLD....THE LIBERALS(COMMIES) AND THE UNITED NATIONS. ELIMINATE BOTH AND THE WORLD WOULD BE A HAPPY PLACE.

I don't see how it could get any worse than it is in Latin America, Africa, and Asia. Maybe you need to reevaluate your statement. You seem to be missing a lot of poverty, that hasn't changed in 30 years, no matter how much is given by the West. And why does terrorism occur? If it's home grown, against repressive governments, guess what? It's not terrorism. There have been several puppet governments propped up by the US in the name of our form of democracy, that doesn't exist, can't, and never will.
No matter who's in charge of the US, they overlook this problem and turn a blind eye to the corrupt governments.
***********************************************************************
Again, what does Muhammad or Islam or terrorism have to do with a Time's article, who's intent was pointing out the fact we need to fight the Global Warming issue, with the same verve our troops did in WWII.
Again, how could anyone carry this disrespect argument to such an absurd illogic?
