Wow, before long these Eviiilll oil conglomerates will reach their ultimate goal: the ability to generate pure pollution with no economically useful by-product.

This reminds me of a cartoon that was popular in the 60s, "Roger Ramjet." Roger was a bumbling super-hero who went around attempting to fight his arch-enemies, the fiendish Solenoid Robots. The latter were the creation of "an evil gang of mad scientists seeking to destroy the world for their own gain." I wonder if this is where lefties got their oil company meme.

Global warming deniers are the equivalent of holocaust deniers. At least that's what the greens are saying. That's what passes for debate from the left.

I'll give them that there may be some degree of fossil fuel involvement, or that the ozone layer may be minutely destroyed if I use hair spray, but it's like not the pressing danger they want to make it appear, and it's scary they are able to convince so many sheeple that it is.

If you think about it.

The Union of Concerned Scientists, yea, their concerned that they won't get more grant money.

Global warming is nothing but pork for scientists and politicians.

By the way, I was in a bookstore yesterday and loooked at Al Gore's book. It was written to scare the he** out of ten year olds. Total garbage.

Nothing new here Rockefeller and Snowe already sent Exxon a letter about this. It is more than two months old (11/02/2006 ). So why does Monisha Bansal write this today? Because she is lazy and check to see that it is an old story even though Union of Concerned Citizens issued it a couple of days ago. This report is probably where Snowe and Rocky got their info.

"seek to manufacture uncertainty about the strong scientific consensus that global warming is caused by the buildup of carbon dioxide and other heat trapping emissions in the atmosphere -- and that this buildup is the direct result of human activities, primarily the burning of fossil fuels."

There was "consensus" about the sun revolving around the earth at one time.

So, can we have an in depth study showing just who finances the Union of Concerned Scientists? Maybe communist organizations like A.N.S.W.E.R? Or George Soros? Or Hollywierd liberals like Laurie David? Where does Algore get the money to tool around the world on fast, pollution spewing jets telling us to stop polluting or we'll kill the Earth?

People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

"Where does Algore get the money to tool around the world on fast, pollution spewing jets telling us to stop polluting or we'll kill the Earth? "

FYI -


A study by the British Sunday Times tells us that so-called environmentalists pollute the earth at nearly twice the rate of an ordinary British family.

Environmental campaigners clock hundreds of thousands of flying miles on trips for pleasure and business, wrote Jonathan Leake, Environment Editor at the Times.

Bob Napier, chief executive of the World Wildlife Fund, has flown to Spitsbergen, Borneo, Washington, Geneva, and Beijing on business trips and taken a holiday in the Falklands, generating more than 11 tons of carbon dioxide.

A typical British household creates about six tons of CO2 a year.

Tony Juniper, director of Friends of the Earth, flew to Malaysia, South Africa, and Amsterdam on business and took his family on holiday to Slovakia in the past year. His trips are estimated to have generated at least eight tons of CO2, wrote Leake.

Ashok Sinha, director of Stop Climate Chaos, a coalition of more than 30 groups, flew to India on holiday and to Montreal on a business trip, generating 3 tons of pollution.

“The real answer is that people must stop flying,” said Sinha. Translation: It’s okay for me to fly because I’m important but you’re not.

Gotta love it - Gore is trumpeted as a hero for spreading disprovable dis-information called facts.

Exxon-Mobil is vilified for defending themselves and telling the "other side of the story" using facts.... and this defense is called "dis-information".

Whether global warming actually exists is irrelevant. It is, in the hands of government and environmental activists, a convenient front for the introduction of programs and economic policies that Canadians - and most citizens of the world - would not otherwise accept.

Ms. Stewart, perhaps unintentionally, has identified the two key foundations of the global warming movement. One is based in environmentalism, which essentially claims that human beings are a problem in nature. The other foundation is the old business of economic redistribution. - Global Warming The Real Agenda, by Terrence Corcoran

About Christine Stewart -

In another statement quoted by the Herald, Canada Environment Minister Christine Stewart gave another reason for adopting the religion of global warming. “Climate change [provides] the greatest chance to bring about justice and equality in the world,” she said.

Here she gets closer to the core motivation of some of the leading global warming activists. Where socialism’s attempt at a global redistribution of wealth ended in economic catastrophe, global warming is being wheeled in as the next new economic crusade. Whether global warming actually exists is irrelevant. It is, in the hands of government and environmental activists, a convenient front for the introduction of programs and economic policies that Canadians - and most citizens of the world - would not otherwise accept. - Financial Post (Canada)
