  "albert" was 55 years old, and the fifth-born of seven children.

  i am the second oldest and babysat him often while he was growing up --- and while i was still at home.. yesterday, albert was out taking his usual morning stroll around his small town, when he collapsed on the sidewalk.

  the doctors said it was a heart attack.

  were you a born in or a convert?.

  i loved science so naturally the conversation centered around the topic of evolution.

  they placed with me the book did man get here by evolution or by creation?

  agreed cantleave - there is a "its snowing near my house" approach to climate change from some folks.

  in this case the OP is leading with global warming and I'm happy to go with that.

  climate change was of course famously recommended as the preferred term over global warming by the Republican spindoctor Frank Luntz back in 2003 - lambsbottom obviously never got the Luntz memo - which can you read in the link below

  Global warming is the rise in the average temperature of Earth's atmosphere and oceans since the late 19th century and its projected continuation

  Climate change is a significant and lasting change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years.

  Easy to get buried in the detail of the difference, but for all practical purposes the terms can be used interchangably.

  Hope that helps everybody. Source: wikipedia.

  so, with the ice storm hitting texas does this mean that they will now accept climate change is real?.

  @lisa - I also prefer reality. When it comes to claiming 'natural causes' are responsible for climate change, I think that deserves more exploration.

  @lambsbottom

  I believe that 'global warming' is simply 'natural' changes to enviroment that come and go through the centuries.

  Maybe you can expand on what you mean by 'natural changes' please?

  Climate science accepts there has always been natural change in climate. Climate is known to respond to the biggest influence on it at any one time. It doesn't have a mind of it own to just wiggle back and forth between hot and cold extremes, like some sort of self-propelling pendulum. Those natural influences could be the sun, volcanoes, planetary cycles in various relative intensities.

  What particular 'natural cause' are you claiming is responsible for the current change in climate?

  The NY Post article linked in the OP written by the lawyer turned journalist Michael Fumente is the kind of thing an algorithm for climate change denial would produce.

  Lets make sure it has all the right variables:

  1 - DO NOT use a climate scientist to author the article

  2 - DO use a lawyer/journalist who has previously been fired for taking money from big business and then writing puff pieces to support their position

  3 - DO not attempt to have your work published in the scientific literature

  4 - DO use a low-credibility tabloid newspaper with a long history of controversy to publish your claims

  5 - DO take a single type of local weather and short time frame as the premise for your article - in this case North American hurricanes in 2013

  6 - DO confuse 'surface temperature' with 'global warming' - (you know the globe - that big round thing with atmospheres and oceans and stuff)

  7 - DO cry foul when mainstream media starts to restrict oxygen to your 2% minority opinions

  8 - DO be vague when accusing 'warmists' of things like predicting an increase hurricane activity - if needs be use Gore's bookcover illustration from 2005

  9 - DO put "greenhouse gases" in quotation marks, so your audience know how laughable that term really is. Nudge nudge wink wink.

  10 - DO make sure to conclude your article with the ideological reasons for your position - include words like Obama, American way of life
