YOU'RE A GLOBAL WARMING SKEPTIC? THEN YOU'RE A CRIMINAL!
I'm a global warming skeptic. I believe that there has been some warming of the Earth's atmosphere over the last 20 years or so, but I do not believe that this warming has been primarily caused by man. In fact, I don't believe man has been much of a factor at all.
That makes me a criminal. That means I should be put on trial for "crimes against humanity."
This is the idea of David Roberts, a staff writer for Grist magazine. You may not have heard of Grist, but Al Gore has. Bill Moyers the hard-left so-called "newsman" from PBS has. They've granted interviews to Grist to push their global warming agendas. David Roberts is now calling for trials for war-crimes trials for people who express doubts that global warming is caused by man. He calls these people "bastards" and refers to the global warming "denial industry." Roberts is suggesting trials for these skeptics that mirror the Nuremberg trials for those responsible for the Holocaust.
Al Gore seems to be part of the Roberts crowd. He calls people like me "global warming deniers," a not so vague reference to "Holocaust deniers." An odd phrase for Gore to use considering the fact that his buddy Roberts is calling for Nuremburg-style trials.
So ... this is the status of free speech in 21st Century America for anyone who disagrees with the thoughts put forth by the anti-capitalist environmental crowd.
Do I need a lawyer yet?

Meanhwile, per Fox News, it is snowing on Columbus Day in Chicago!
Well, I guess the 17,000 scientists that signed their name to a petition stating that they believe global warming is bogus had better go retain lawyers. Since the government only gives grants to studies that "prove" global warming is real, they're probably doing other work anyway.
And the knit cap is part of the girlie man environmentalist uniform.
Yoo-hoo...David Roberts...please come and lock me up.
I'm sitting here watching the snowflakes drift by my window in mid-October.
Global warming.
Right.
Feh.
Well, that's because "Global Warming" is actually manifested as "Global Climate Change", don't you know... /s
Hello ;-)
....Scriptures teach that....God spoke. ;-)
This is true - it also says the very first words God said was:
"Let there be light."
We equate light with knowledge as God was saying to educate yourself and gain knowledge. It is way I question this new religious movement to accept global warming.
There was a poster here that had the best tag line that said:
If God wanted it different - it would be.
Reminds me of my kids when they were little --- they were convinced that if I pulled the plug on the bathtub, they would go down the drain with the bath water.
This reminded me of a very funny tee-shirt I saw last week. Here it is:
"Guns do not kill people....I kill people!"
Nah, it's a Global conspiracy to keep me from planting my tulip bulbs.
Here are questions he cannot answer:
1-Every grade-schooler knows that CO2 is absorbed by plant life. If CO2 is the problem, why does NO ONE in the global warming crowd propose the mass planting of more trees and fauna? (Answer: planting more trees does nothing to harm capitalism).
2-How did the Vikings enjoy decades of farming on Greenland, if it wasn't warmer then than now?
3-How do you RULE OUT solar activity as a cause of warming on Earth in light of the fact that Mars is warming? (Libs, when confronted with this question, many times will concede that they DON'T rule out solar activity-CHECKMATE!)
4-If man-made CO2 is the culprit, how do you explain the fact that, of the approximately .8 degree increase during the twentieth century, three-fourths of the rise occurred prior to 1940?
I'm still laughing at the posting of a 1975 Newsweek article last week about the global COOLING threat. One of the solutions was to nuke the polar ice caps so they'd melt faster and allow the earth to warm.
Do I need a lawyer yet?
I have a crawl space in my ceiling that you can hide in if necessary. You must be quiet, not a sound out of you.
Yes! I like that...because as the tag line says, it would be different.
Global Warming is a joke and a theory.
But it's a bigger joke, than a theory.
Theory actually means, "thought in the mind of man". A hypothesis.
Did I say that?....it sounds good. ;-)
Huge egos and tons of pride about what we want,
seems to be the "thought for the day", every day with kids. ;-)
If someone found that global warming is in the Koran, then a worldwide group to oppress those who do not believe already exists.
Continue to watch your snowflakes gently drift by.
Anything Algore promotes will flop. For example, he has a commercial supporting Proposition 87 here in CA that would increase gasoline taxes by $4 Billion a year. Just a short time after the price was $3.75 a gallon and is now a doller less?? Last winter he gave a speech about global warming where it was record cold and your farts could turn into ice clouds.
Algore needs a job on The Weather Channel to get a real life. He could be neck deep in a snow drift to tell you it's snowing; floating down a river to tell you it's raining; getting smacked in the head by wet ice balls to tell you a tornado is close by; blowing around the landscape to tell you there is a hurricane, or getting smacked in the head by a portrait of Bill Clinton to tell us there was an earthquake. Make us laugh, Algore!
Racist! (isn't that the stock invective to hurl?)
