If that were the case, then all warming would be a result of the only significant source of energy, the sun. But that is not what is being debated. The

Scientists do not go around saying things are absolutely anything. They offer conjecture and data to support a hypothesis.

[quote who="Krazikarl" reply="120" id="3406547"]For example, maintaining that the Louisiana Purchase was illegal is a fairly extreme position. [/quote] Actually no it is not. It is one of the 2 mainstream positions that are debated. It happened. That we know. But as Kantok pointed out, Constitution study is not Cardiology. So there are many valid opinions on both sides. Neither of which makes either extreme, merely different.

[quote who="Krazikarl" reply="109" id="3406256"] It was certainly distasteful to Jefferson, but Madison convinced him that it was technically Constitutional since it was a treaty.[/quote] That is the general consensus from scholars. But I guess the issue is not really the constitutionality so much as it went against the very core beliefs Jefferson held.

Why he did it still has scholars debating to this day. You can justify the expense in many ways, but the basic fact is that it grew the central government and assumed power that was not intended.

Back in the 8th grade, you had to pass a test on the constitution to pass the 8th grade. So several weeks before the test, all learning stopped except on the Constitution. Needless to say, Brad is right. I had it memorized by the time the test came! Of course that was when there were fewer amendments, so it was shorter. ;-)

[quote who="sjaminei" reply="628" id="3403336"]Not accepting the consensus is working against it, all out denialer or not, especially in a subject as critical as this. [/quote] Consensus does not belong in science. period. It was not a better theory of phlogiston that came up with the concept of air being composed of gases. It was going against the supposed consensus. I frankly do not care what the 'consensus' says. I only care what the science says.
