Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to The 2005 Flat Earth Awards! This award is voted on by you, the people, in order to decide which fundamentalist and/or idiot will be the next person to be laughed at in the history books... assuming there are any history books left if these people get their way. From the site:| "The Flat Earth Award was created as a humorous effort to highlight the denial of global warming by prominent public figures. Despite an overwhelming scientific consensus that human-induced carbon dioxide emissions are altering the global climate, some deniers remain. They are trying to convince the public and our government that a massive peer-reviewed international research project conducted by thousands of scientific researchers is bogus! |
This year's nominees are as follows:
Michael Crichton: How does Crichton address the overwhelming body of peer-reviewed evidence that supports greenhouse gas theory? He largely dismisses it as “politicized science.”
Rush Limbaugh: “Despite the hysterics of a few pseudo-scientists, there is no reason to believe in global warming.”
--Rush Limbaugh, See, I Told You So, 1993
Fred Singer: S. Fred Singer – “The climate is not warming….In any case, a warmer climate would be generally beneficial”
(from 7/29/98 testimony before the House Small Business Committee)
I would like to personally dedicate this post to The Flat Earth Society, a group of people who, despite the fact that you can now fly around the world in a plane or travel the entire distance on a boat, somehow still beleive that our planet is flat. They've seen the photos from space - but they won't let that liberal media propaganda stop them!
"If the Earth were a globe, there certainly would be -- if we could imagine the thing, to be peopled all around-'antipodes:' 'people who,' says the dictionary, 'living exactly on the opposite side of the globe to ourselves, having their fee [sic] opposite to ours' - people who are HANGING DOWN, HEAD DOWNWARDS while we are standing head up? But since the theory allows to travel to those parts of the earth where the people are said to hand head downward, and still to fancy ourselves to be heads upwards, and our friends whom we have left behind us to be heads downwards, it follows that the WHOLE THING IS A MYTH - A DREAM - A DELUSION - and a snare, and, instead of there being any evidence at all in this direction to substantiate this popular theory, it is plain proof that the Earth is Not A Globe."
