Obviously no kick backs to Rick from big gr$$n.

He added that “the most likely the primary control knob is the ocean waters and this environment that we live in.” …

True. Well, and then there's the sun. That probably has something to do with it.

[I want the USA back]

The prime driver of warming is the energy received from the Sun. So, wrong.

[Snickering Hound]

Liberal hissy fits in time for the evening news.

Denier, denier, pants to be set on fire...

[Nifster]

And Rick is correct

> a statement at odds with mainstream scientific consensus <

Mainstream scientific consensus, they’re the folks who shout down, then boot out, any scientist who disagrees with global warming.

[AndyTheBear]

Energy Secretary Rick Perry says he does not believe carbon dioxide is a primary contributor to global warming, a statement at odds with mainstream scientific consensus but in line with the head of the Environmental Protection Agency.

It is not "mainstream" in the sense of being real science. It was mainstreamed artificially by the granting of funds to research it. But the the idea itself was scientifically dead as soon as the the lag between temp and CO2 started showing up in the ice core data over a decade ago.

it’s Water Vapor

[SoFloFreeper]

boo hoo.

[RayChuang88]

The most potent greenhouse gas out there: water vapor. Many more times affecting Earth's climate than CO2. That's why during solar maximum conditions, the oceans tend to be warmer, and that leads to more water evaporation, leading to very dramatic climate effects like tornadoes and hurricane/cyclone/typhoon conditions in warmer waters.

“a statement at odds with mainstream scientific consensus”

How lie does the lie that there is “consensus” in science have to be exposed before the “mainstream” media quits the propaganda that there is “consensus”, when none exists.

The Nobel Prize-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, organized by the United Nations

That settles it. The UN is never wrong. (Sarcasm)

[oldtech]

Seems like that info has been general knowledge for some time now......unless you have an agenda.

[johnk]

Let’s see.
I am public school kid but I will try this one.

Let’s look at the solar system.
- One of these things is not like the other.
- Gigantic Glowing Burning white hot ball in the middle.
- It’s a huge nuclear fusion reactor.

I bet this could affect the climate on the planets.
Looks like there are flares and periods of increased and decreased activity.

BINGO... there is the climate control for planet Earth !!!

Please, give me a break, these idiots.

Carbon Dioxide is food for almost every living plant on earth.

They use it to make plants grow faster/hardier in green houses.

The whole thing from the quack scientists to the corrupt pope is a gigantic money making scheme.

Maybe the biggest lie of all time.

[Arthur McGowan]

How dare Perry disagree with the Pope?!?! Our first pro-abortion Pope!

[The Great RJ]

Denier! (Heretic) send for the Climate Change Inquisition he blasphemed the sacred dogma of St Algore
