Growing Pains

This is an upstart, snot-nosed, pesky blog with little hope of surviving in a digital universe drowning in two-bit, "here today, gone tomorrow" sites, right?

I started this irksome project to get under your skin only a couple months ago, deniers, and I'll likely lose interest and be gone in a few months like "all the rest," yeah? No comments to date, and no real reason to pay me any mind, ain't that so?

See, problem is, Google's stats feature is telling me you are paying me mind (in minor daily increments, to be sure). Each and every day, I see more traffic than the day before. Enough to where I might just take some pride in the attention, thank you for the somewhat involuntary generosity you seem unable to get under wraps, and stick around to further irritate you. :)

Also, I've been linking to your gods in posts where I cut them down to their true, small-minded size (for example...), and traffic-sourcing reports being what they are for blog administrators, I am quite certain that at least a few of them know what I am up to while lacking the guts to call me out, or, like you, figuring I'll just go away. Now, you may see this as arrogance. I, however, see it as a glorious tribute to critical thinking skills all those hard-working teachers (you know, the ones you call "liberals on the government take") over the course of a fine, well-rounded, public education, ending in a college degree, have managed to cultivate in me.

The short of all that talk-is-cheap boasting? I'm not going anywhere.

So let me issue you a challenge (something I've done before), and see if you have the backbone to come out of the inky, lurker shadows and respond...

What is your best argument against the undeniable reality that our emissions have warmed the planet and are changing the climate for the worse and to our own detriment?

Let's go. Find your spine and step up, because I'm more than willing to tell you what my best argument is for why you're all a bunch of pseudoscience-worshipping fools. Spoiler alert: it's in my blog header.
