That state of the DE blogosphere
I've been holding off on commenting on the imbroiglio over a posting at DelawareLiberal for Veteran's Day for several reasons. First and foremost is the situation at home (more on that later) but also because I wanted to get some distance from it to be sure I was seeing things clearly. I've been reading DV's stuff since before he joined Jason on his site and I've noticed a change in tone which seems to have accelerated of late. I enjoyed going to the old site because it was one the few places I could engage someone with different ideas than mine without things crashing headlong into Godwin's law within 3 posts. In short, DV acted in good faith and was rather deferential to his visitors which I greatly appreciated. Since pulling the old blog and posting on DelwareLiberal, I've noticed that ground has eroded rather quickly.

When seas are getting warmer and warmer and ice caps are melting at increased rates, that is actual proof for global warming. Why? Because the seas cover 2/3 of our planet, and if they're getting warmer, chances are the other 1/3 of the planet will be affected, too. The ice caps, the coldest regions of our planet, are showing a trend of warming and melting. Why is this more poignant than Kenya? Because the ice cap region does not see the same weather fluctuations as regions to the south because of the tilt of the earth. When that changes, something big is going on.
Educate yourself on global warming, because if you think it's simple weather, then you've not studied on it enough.
Note for the humor-impaired: I believe in global warming. I'm just bothered by the militant attitude used against dissenters by the party of open-mindedness.
Have at it.
However, while I don't like it either, a militant attitude is understandable considering the gravity of the situation.
