Hey! Read the tea leaves, gents. The old commie lib CO2 fraud has been exposed and trashed. Common sense is going to be the new M.O. Get with the program. The only contention or confusion is with those who cling to the fraudulent past.

He also made a lot of very reasonable comments about the variability of what is affecting the climate and how we are able to measure it. But why let any reasonable facts get in the way of liberal nonsense.

Yeah the world is going to end but if you just pay carbon taxes then they let your industry continue to pollute. Total scam.

OK, Slimes. I find your views “confusing.” How come none of the predictions these “scientists” made in the 80’s and 90’s have come true? How come global temps are essentially unchanged for the last 15 years?

“Scott Pruitt, the head of the Environmental Protection Agency, drew criticism on Thursday for saying that carbon dioxide was not a primary contributor to global warming,”

That’s exactly NOT what he said.

The Late Great Michael Criton:

Imagine the composition of the Earth’s atmosphere as a football field.  Most of the atmosphere is nitrogen.  So, starting from the goal line, Nitrogen takes you all of the way to the seventy-eight-yard line.  and most of what’s left is oxygen. 
Oxygen takes you to the ninety-nine-yard line.  Only one yard to go.  But most of what remains is the inert gas Argon. Argon brings you within three and a half inches of the goal line.  That’s pretty much the thickness of the chalk stripe, folks. 
And how much of the remaining three inches is carbon dioxide?  One inch.  that’s how much CO2 we have in our atmosphere.  One inch in a hundred-yard football field … You are told that carbon dioxide has increased in the last fifty years.  Do you know how much it has increased, on our football field?  It has increased by three-eights of an inch – less than the thickness of a pencil. 
It’s a lot more carbon dioxide, but it’s a minuscule change in our total atmosphere.  Yet you are asked to believe that this tiny change has driven the entire planet into a dangerous warming period.

I believe in climate change. The climate has been changing regularly since my first memory and I suppose since the dawn of time.

What I don't believe is that humans are ruining the earth and its climate. This argument is not about climate change. It is about system change.

So instead I just post the following graphic:

I agree completely, imho the next great fear to be used to control humans might be biological, i.e. some new viral threat creating sudden rampant crazy panic. Hope I’m wrong!

“Scott Pruitt, the head of the Environmental Protection Agency, drew criticism on Thursday for saying that carbon dioxide was not a primary contributor to global warming
Because it isn’t. Water vapor. Something like 99%.”

Scott Pruitt needs to talk to Wilbur Ross, Commerce Secretary about his agency known as NOAA, as NOAA’s Climate.gov scientists were the ones who manipulated the climate data in order to support Obama’s claim of global warming prior to Obama’s attendance at the Paris Climate Change Conference.

Just wondering if he's related to George Soros who is, in reality, Gyorgy Schwartz?

Yeah, a carbon tax. I guess we’ll have to pay money for every time we exhale. These suckers are now the ones in panic, watching their well-laid plans smashed to pieces. Is it any wonder they’ve become hysterical?

hopefully the President will put a stop to funding stuff like this - MSM is not reporting it...except for Fox News.

Aquion was approved to receive $16.6 million in state grants and loans from the the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development, according to the agency’s online investment tracker. It’s unclear whether the company used all of that money...

Is our climate changing? The succession of temperate summers and open winters through several years, culminating last winter in the almost total failure of the ice crop throughout the valley of the Hudson, makes the question pertinent.

The older inhabitants tell us that the Winters are not as cold now as when they were young, and we have all observed a marked diminution of the average cold even in this last decade. - New York Times June 23, 1890
