Green think tank tells environmentalists: Leave climate change science behind

Global warming theorists would have us believe that the 8 billion watts of energy poured out on the Earth by the sun EVERY second doesn’t cause temperature change, but an SUV idling in upstate New York will.

[Candor7]

A new religion is now created and being funded by governments around the world.

They can $hit green for all I care as long as they stay out of my wallet.

[AU72]

Can they also tell Graham cracker.

[TheZMan]

Gee, ya think? /s

Efforts to use climate science to threaten an apocalyptic future should we fail to embrace green proposals, and to characterize present-day natural disasters as terrifying previews of an impending day of reckoning, have only served to undermine the credibility of both climate science and progressive energy policy.

Well DUH!

Beware the man who peddles doom and will provide you a solution upon receipt of your treasure...

Hundreds of new breeder reactors please.

The money shot" motivate the remaking of the entire global energy economy".

Now we have the new thesis.

Beam me to Planet Gore !

[RogerFGay]

Forcing you to turn over the green in your wallet is everything the Green Movement has always been about.

[RogerFGay]

Well DUH!

But when anyone who's not counted as one of their own tries to tell them anything, it's just part of a vast right-wing conspiracy paid for by Big Oil, and it's all Bush's fault.

And understood in its proper role, as one of many reasons why we should decarbonize the global economy, climate science can even help contribute to the case for taking such action.

Exactly how can the economy be "decarbonized"? The majority of all products bought and sold are carbon-based. The only "decarbonized" economy is a non-existent economy.

The Greenies are not going to like this. It would appear that the Climategate memos are finally causing the few untainted “Scientists” to try to save themselves by disassociating with the radical greens. Kind of like Bernie Madoff’s kids calling the FBI on him after they had lived the good life off the profits of his thefts for 20 years.

[Brugmansian]

We lied for your own good, we got caught so now we’ll try another approach. Nevermind our lies. We still deserve attention. We are Yale.

[P-Marlowe]

What makes plants green? Carbon Dioxide.

Why do the greens want plants to starve?

"Climate science, even at its most uncontroversial, could never motivate the remaking of the entire global energy economy. Efforts to use climate science to threaten an apocalyptic future should we fail to embrace green proposals, and to characterize present-day natural disasters as terrifying previews of an impending day of reckoning, have only served to undermine the credibility of both climate science and progressive energy policy."

Well, well -- now we have it! It's not about science at all; it's about "remaking the entire global energy economy" through "progressive energy policy."

GREEN = RED, the new way to sell impressionable idealists on failed Communist policies. Many of us already knew it, but it's still surprising to see Comrades Nordhaus and Shellenberger climb out of their green camouflage and wave their red banners. Perhaps they believe the endgame is near...

[Sacajaweau]

When Gore stepped to the podium on this cr**, I remember Hillary saying that it was a way to get the young people involved which is another way of creating enviro nuts....

The problem is these SCHOOL kids don't realize their real part in all this: ask these kids to give up their wiis and phones, turn the TV off, walk to school, one pair of shoes, five pairs of socks, pizza once a month....

They're tools of politics...and they know sh**.

[Candor7]

Thas right. Its a Brother and Sistah evengellical movement. Its histoic predecessor was the prohobition ovement that went around destroying breweries and distilleries based on emotion, and an over staement about social problems, and they had the same religious fervor. We just tolerated the for 15 years and then ignored them. .The Greenies are the same kind of people.Holier than thou know it alls without a shred of science to support them. When they come for my money, they will have to fight me for it.

If they take it, I will begin burning tires at night and cutting down every tree I can.

>.Beware the man who peddles doom and will provide you a solution upon receipt of your treasure...

This has been known for quite some time to the curmudgeonly. We have raised up a nation of fools.

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.
