Regardless, essential power-generation jobs in the U.S. will be lost over the Administration's obsessive actions based on the dubious climate claim. And, so will relief for those in desperate need of low-cost abundant fossil-fuel energy worldwide.

Right now, there’s a billion-dollar bonanza in government funding for climate-change research, education and reeducation, engineering and reengineering, and state and local government programs. Heaps of public dollars are ready for the taking for anyone willing to help the feds continue generating and fine-tuning the gloomy “gospel” that preaches “The end is near for low-cost, home-grown, abundant energy use.” Furthermore, financing is readily available for subsequently fixing a climate problem that doesn’t exist with solutions that don’t work.

Getcha snake oil here! Only $20.00/pint. Cure all for what ails the planet. Help eliminate See Uh Oh 2 before it's too late. After all, it's for the children and their future. You don't want to be the one that helped doom your grand kids to a sweltering sweat box of a planet do you? Buy it now before prices go up.

Yup. If I didn't have a conscience, I'd probably start some bogus enterprise and soak the tax payers for some of the "free" money.

A hot summer is "global warming."

A cool summer is "a pause in global warming."

These costs are INTENTIONAL.

The cost of reducing CO₂ emissions is so enormous that the burden of proof must lie with those who claim it is necessary. Just claiming that the evidence is “overwhelming” is no proof at all.

Well, to them it conclusive evidence. If algore says it, it’s unquestionably true. :>}
