Climate Skeptics Now 'Relegated to the Fringe'

The UN said it so it must be so.





NOT

Global warming is caused by all the hot air emissions from the MSM and "scientists" with a leftist political agenda.

[Froufrou]

The "we caused it so we have to fix it" arguement is sort of bogus, too, isn't it?

IF we followed liberal logic, and left Iraq to sort out their own mess, why wouldn't they likewise have a do-nothing approach to global warming? I don't understand how they think [thank the Lord!]

Climate Skeptics Now 'Relegated to the Fringe'

Well, then, there is only one thing to do: Start pushing nuclear power.

I propose a massive program to combat global warming by building nuclear power plants.

"This is a wake up call not just to those who love birds, wildlife and the natural environment, but to anyone who cares about the future that our children and grandchildren will inherit," he added.

They just concluded that it's all hopeless.

Sorry Grandkids. Hope you grow gills!

Start pushing nuclear power

Unfortunately the econazis will simply dust off the old objections to nuclear power as well.

The report summary released on Friday called it "very likely"...that human activity is raising global temperatures.

That's like the media saying "It's very likely that Halliburton has been running US foreign policy these past 6 years."

Where's my nuclear-powered car?!

I went to High School with a guy who is now in charge of a major weather agency of the Federal Government. At a reunion,I asked him about global warming. He told me that it was the greatest thing that EVER happened to his profession. Did he believe it? Sure, it could be that the plant is a little warmer but, so what, it won`t change a thing, this is nothing new except as a job builder for weathermen.

[Disambiguator]

Global Warming is an excuse for a power grab by national and international government bodies.

Why else is it that the only proposed "solution" to global warming is higher taxes?

If they really wanted to improve our lot, they would be looking for real solutions, not just making life as a whole much more expensive. And that assumes, of course, that global warming is real, and that it is a real threat (which I don't believe).

[Froufrou]

Nuclear is actually not a bad idea. Although if we don't get it just right our grandkids very likely may grow gills.

[Always Right]

A report summary issued Friday by the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change "should erase any doubts, even among the most dedicated skeptics, that the time for action to combat global warming is now," said National Audubon President John Flicker.

There is nothing new in this report that changes anything about the debate. The 'report' is just spin by a big UN agency with a purpose of creating more power and more revenues for itself.

The rising ocean will only wipe out places that vote for liberal Democrats, so what's the problem?

[bjc]

Superb picture. However, keep them away from your siding otherwise they will perforate it for you.

Drown a demonRAT, save the planet.

[Froufrou]

Agreed.

Unfortunately the econazis will simply dust off the old objections to nuclear power as well.

Certainly they will. Nothing short of a return to a prehistoric lifestyle will satisfy them. (And by that I mean that you and I should return to a prehistoric lifestyle; Al Gore and his ilk will still fly around in jet aircraft.)

Fortunately, we do not have to convince the econazis, but the general public and the policy makers.

If the "climate-change" prophets are right, it would be the height of irresponsibility not to develop nuclear power. Keep repeating that line and force them to tell us why global warming is not that dire.

Global Warming is the money tree that's feeding the government-sponsored scientists who aren't capable enough to be successful in the competitive society.
