I agree. But we can be certain that if/when we transition to alternative fuels there will be an alternative issue used as a wedge / power grab under the guise of “protecting us”.

Agreed. And the solution will again be anti-science, anti-technology, and pro-government.

I’ve read that Liberals give off more CO2 than Conservatives... :)

How would you like to follow directives made by people in 1914 on our resource usage?

Phased out?!

Weren't these people, just a short time ago, predicting that because of our gluttony for fossil fuels every last drop of oil from the earth would be extracted well before 2100? And coal, too?

Judging by the number of times the enviro-whacko movement keeps changing its positions (and terminology - global warming, climate change, global climate disruption, etc.), I guess they feel it's difficult to hit a moving target.

Global warming is real. Why just yesterday it started out at 49 degrees here and rose all the way to 70.

Stopping the funding of the UN may be the single biggest reason to never voting RINO again.

The IPCC should have BEEN history...an embarrassing chapter, but history, nonetheless...

Commiecrats don’t need data. Besides they only use the data that supports their case. And if they can’t find any data that does they do what commiecrats do best. They create their own and then lie about everything.

Meanwhile, the IPCC should be quickly phased out by 2015.

Translation: Hydrocarbon energy is too plentiful and too cheap, hence, it poses a threat to government-controlled wind, solar and other alternatives.

I lived in Berlin in the 1980s. The pollution that blew over from the non-capitalist part, REAL pollution, the kind that burns your eyes and throat, was horrendous.

I’m all for phasing out the IPCC and the UN, since they’re two of the most dangerous organizations in the world, especially to the western way of life.

Yep.

Too much of their money might start slipping to Ebola research.
