Who in their right mind would think some of us enjoy being global warming deniers? It’s a perilous position, to be sure.
There are many people whom, just because the weather does things that aren’t always in our creature comfort zone, believe that strange things are happening and it’s all our fault. Whenever a catastrophic tornado or hurricane touches down, it can’t be a natural incident. No, such things aren’t supposed to displace us, or cause undue panic attacks. Life is supposed to be “normal”.
So we have people like Former Vice President Al Gore making movies. We have Hollywood actors, lecturing us on our opulent lifestyles, because they now are experts as they appeared in a movie on the subject. We have politicians scolding us because we dare use common sense when addressing global warming instead of embracing their remedy of the redistribution of wealth in the name of the planet.

I heard him saying this on Rush. It almost sounded like he was saying “blasphemer”. As a side note, he also sounded slightly effeminate.
What I particularly love are the public announcement shorts aired on television, where actors lecture the public on how to raise their children. It’s one reason why I won’t let a brick in the house. I’d through it through the screen.
As for the ‘green’ issue, these folks are liars. They don’t live green for the most part. In fact they use private jets to travel, fare more wasteful than 99.9% of the public.
Your tax dollars at work!!
htHouse Buys Carbon Credits Through Chicago Climate Exchange
CHICAGO, Illinois, November 12, 2007 (ENS) - The Chicago Climate Exchange, which began its greenhouse gas trading operations in 2003, has announced the results of its auction of Carbon Financial Instrument contracts conducted on behalf of the U.S. House of Representatives at its request.
The reverse auction was a bid for 300 contracts representing 30,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent from a pool of U.S. based projects that have offset a proportionate amount of greenhouse gas emissions.
The House purchased these carbon credits to offset the impact of 30,000 tons of carbon emitted by the U.S. Capitol’s coal-burning power plant each year.
The funds will be used on carbon reducing measures, such as planting trees and underground storage of carbon dioxide, as well as green technologies like wind and solar power.
The auction was oversubscribed with a weighted average clearing price of $2.97 per ton, totaling approximately $90,000.
“We are pleased to have the Chicago Climate Exchange provide a price transparency mechanism through this auction service to U. S. House of Representatives as part of its “Greening of the Capitol Initiative,” said Dr. Richard Sandor, chairman and CEO of CCX.
As part of its “Greening of the Capitol Initiative,” the House will retire the tons purchased as one of several strategies to reduce the contribution to greenhouse gas accumulation derived from its operations.
“The U.S. House of Representative’s purchase of CCX Carbon Financial Instrument contracts highlights the contribution to climate change solutions being made by renewable energy providers, farmers, foresters, ranchers, and others, located across the United States, who are also helping build the environmental and financial institutions that can cost-effectively help address environmental concerns for generations to come,” Sandor said.
A financial institution, CCX is the world’s first and North America’s only voluntary, legally binding greenhouse gas emissions reduction, registry and trading system.
The event was held November 5 at the Chicago offices of CCX and attended by Illinois Congressmen Rahm Emanuel, Mark Kirk, and Dan Lipinski, all Democrats, and Dan Beard, the U.S. House of Representatives chief administrative officer, CAO.
“Americans are increasingly concerned about the impact of foreign energy dependence on our national security and the effects of global climate change on the planet,” said Lipinski. “This is an important step in our quest to make Congress carbon neutral and I am extremely proud to be standing here, in Chicago, on this historic day.”
“Through the Greening the Capitol initiative, the House of Representatives joins Chicago in a commitment to energy efficiency and responsible stewardship of the environment,” said Emanuel.
The House will become carbon neutral by purchasing wind power for the electricity it uses, and by substituting natural gas for coal to generate the House’s portion of the electricity produced by the Capitol Power Plant.
To offset the carbon emitted from burning natural gas, the House will purchase carbon offsets. Funding for the purchase of these offsets is available in the Chief Administrative Officer’s Fiscal Year 2008 budget.

Our point of refernce is so microscopically small that to have chicken little enviroweenies and their grant-seeking "scientists" running about in hysteria is just the height of arrogance.
I thoroughly enjoy being a rational denier of a man made global warming. Having seen some of the scientists and the models used to create the IPCC report back in 1999 during a college lecture, I’ve been openly derisive of any and every useful idiot and also the grant swindling academic whores who have latched on to this scam and build climate models that have no basis in reality.
No?
These little guys are worth a lot more than OwlGore and his ilk.

I dunno, it has its moments. :-)
I prefer to call the climate change alarmists “Debate Deniers,” since in the face of clear and overwhelming evidence to the contrary and against all reason, they continue to deny that there are many scientists who disagree with them.
I for one love watching their heads spin when I bring up facts.
I also enjoy supporting the abolition of welfare unless we make them do manual labor for their benefits and a whole raft of other ideas.
- I deny that anyone can predict better than random any complex phenomenon 100 years in the future.
- I deny that replacing clean coal burning plants with wind mills and solar panels can change global climate.
- I deny UN models showing global temperature increases can be limited to 2 degrees Celsius with only a modest (3%) impact on GDP.
- I deny that replacing unleaded gasoline with E85 can change global climate.
- I deny that CO2 is a pollutant.
- I deny that carbon credits and trading schemes can change global climate.
I make the following assertions as a counter to global warming hysteria:
- I assert that many urgent problems will be unresolved due to global warming hysteria.
- I assert that global warming hysteria will lead to a depression if the US succumbs to UN mandates.
- I assert that many individuals will reap windfall profits from global warming hysteria.
- I assert global warming is a cover for world-wide socialism.
You must mean Deniers-R-US.
Hard to top the laughs some of us have here on FR
my friend steve sent this:
Global Warming is nothing if not a lever by which the leftists plan to leverage themselves into absolute power. Granting them unlimited power in order to “protect the proletariat” will not longer fly in the court of public opinion so now they move to plan “B”.....unlimited power to “protect the planet”.
