climate liars, also.

I do like climate flat-earthers, though.

Senator Cruz is enjoying all of this publicity.

Direct Heating of the environment Map of the United States and Canada....

Over every bright light cluster is a column of slightly warmer air than it's surroundings that slowly rises into the jetstream affecting the weather patterns!!!

Climate Change is real and Cities (just by existing) are CAUSING it via direct heating of homes / excess heat realsed by Air Conditioning in the summer, and the absorbtion of sunlight by aspault and cement and man made structures, not CO2....

Do the climate alarmists advocate tearing down their own liberal Cesspools called Large Cities?

Do the Libs really want to go down this road?

Or should they just shut the hell and accept this as the price of progress like they demand WE DO every time THEY push one of their progressive Liberal agendas as the "price of progress"....?

I think they should shut up and realize that we humans like all animals out there affect the environment to some degree and stop being such liberal anti-progress troglydytes.

If AGW was such a big issue, China and India would have been very aggressive in closing down all those highly-polluting power plants fueled by uncontrolled coal burning many years ago.

At least China--who experienced that unhealthy smog in Shanghai and Harbin two years ago--signed that big deal with Russia to import natural gas so China can close down most of those highly-polluting coal-fired power plants.

Dementia is really trying to witness in a loved one. When we see it on a large scale like this, it is just plain taxing.

You are simplifying it a bit, because the bouyancy of a molecule doesn’t exactly corelate with it’s direct atomic weight, it also depends on it’s atomic electrical properties.

Which is a function of Boyle’s law to an extent.

If a complex molecule takes up a greater “volume” per unit of atomic weight than air then it will rise even if it is comprised of a sum total higher atomic weight than air.

But for simple molecules not comprising complex things like benzene rings, you are indeed correct!

Why do the call themselves progressives when they try so hard to drag everyone back to the Stone Age?

Every single point made in the article looked like an exaggerated version of a good policy move.

I've always said the biggest determinant of Earth's climate is this big nuclear fireball 93 million miles away called the Sun.

We sometimes forget the radiation output of the Sun is of many types, many of which can directly affect the gases in our atmosphere. This is why during the famous Maunder Minimum of 1645 to 1715, the lack of sunspots resulted in much lower radiation output from the Sun, which caused essentially a mini Ice Age to occur, including regular freezing of the Thames and Seine Rivers in Europe. We do know that the Sun's radiation output has changed a bit in the last 100 years, and noted that the temperature on Mars and the upper atmosphere of our gas giant planets have been steadily warming at least since the 1950's. That multi-planetary warming--which also affects the Earth--is why it appears Earth's climate is warming--but in a natural fashion.

If this doesn’t deserve a “Derp derp derp,” then nothing does.

Another hysterical, science-denying, flat-earther speaks.

They are trying to define Cruz, before he can define himself, just like they did to Palin.

[capt. norm]

"Mom! Louie's looking at me again Louie called me a climate denier again".

[JoeFromSidney]

they all graduated with degrees in " I WANNA CHANGE THE WORLD!"

I'm leery of those who want to change the world. Adolph Hitler changed it big time, and we can't go back.

[MeshugeMikey]

all the wanna change the worlders have many of the same sort of tendencies possessed by their Uncle Adolph

[RinaseaofDs]

. . . and since the idiots pushing AGW aren’t talking about complex carbohydrates, benzene rings, or bent-chain hydrocarbons floating around like little mylar balloons, then we are OK.

President Cruz initiates oil free-for-all: “There’s literally nowhere I won’t let you drill.” ... President Cruz gets his Keystone revenge by pre-approving every pipeline, ever. ... President Cruz: The fracking industry knows what it’s doing and states totally have it handled. ... “I couldn’t care less about some ‘international climate agreement’”: President Cruz strips EPA of its ability to regulate greenhouse gases. ... President Cruz blesses the world with the gift of fossil fuels. ...Largest-ever campaign donation from Big Oil ensures four more years for President Cruz!

SOUNDS GREAT!

Let's get started!

Why do I get the feeling we’ll soon see the “deniers are terrorists” idea pushed by the wannabe-dictator politicians? Considering climate change/global warming has been declared a threat to national security (by what bloody logic did they do that, anyway?), they’d probably be able to convince all the Chicken Littles out there that it’s necessary.

Need to get the left talking about gun control again, just to cement the fact they’re absolute loons.

” TED CRUZ CANT WIN “ .... The Cruz Deniers.

What they are attempting to do is dishearten, discourage the Ted Cruz supporters into not donating money to his presidential campaign in a self fullfilling prophecy.

They know the power of the Tea Party supporters and they know that support for Ted Cruz will snow ball into a unstoppable force if they let it, therefore they are all out in force, the Cruz deniers to stop him early.

[American Constitutionalist]

TED CRUZ DENIERS !
