Radon. Radon was a good one, too. Remember radon?

It’s the oldest marketing scheme in the books: create a problem - - “bad breath in dogs”, “ring around the collar”, “dandruff”, etc. - - then sell the “cure”. On a government scale, it’s all about somebody getting their filthy paws on taxpayer dollars.

Follow the money. ALWAYS, follow the money.

Global warming is their biggest hoax to date though. Now they are trying to convince everyone that CO2, something that is so miniscule in the atmosphere that it barely registers, is going to kill us all.

The earths atmosphere is composed of only .04% CO2, yes that is how small it is. Of all the air the freaking world, CO2 only registers .04% of it. I couldn`t believe it until I looked it up.

To give an idea how small that is, there is even more Argon in the atmosphere than there is CO2, 26 times more!

By comparison, the atmosphere of the planet Venus is made up of 96% CO2. Venus is a planet that has a true greenhouse effect, or a “global warming effect”.

Of all the CO2 on the planet earth, how much of that .04% is created by cars, coal burning, Ted Kennedy opening his beers etc etc? It`s so small they can`t even measure it which is why they start getting into this micro measurings, “parts per million” then they inflate it with their BS graphs, zooming in as close as possible so that line looks like it is going straight up...”Parts per million” which is the same comparison of measuring one second for every 11 days..”CO2 went up one molecule in the past week”.

It`s ridiculous, it`s like making an ant burp out to be a nuclear bomb. (Do ants burp?)

An increase of just 1 C could mean "up to 30% of the species at risk of extinction."

WHAT absolute BULL! 1 C doesn`t even register when it come to average temps around the world. That`s about 1.8 F...Today it can be 45 F and tomorrow, 46.8 F...THAT small amount of temp rise is going to kill 30% of species? This guy is out of his mind! What species is he talking about that can`t take a 1.8 F fluctuation in temperature? Space aliens?

let me put that into even better context for you- 30% species loss is the estimate they use for the KT mass extinction when the dinosaurs died off!

UN report says poor will suffer most

I have an idea! Let's put all the world's poor people out of their misery. If we got rid of them, their burden on the world's ecosystems would be eliminated. Furthermore if you elimate poor people, you eliminate poverty. This would reduce inequality. How could the left oppose a program that would greatly decrease inequality?

"The UN isn’t concerned about the poor."

Actually thats not entirely true.

If there were no poor, whose children would the UN staffers film while being raped? The children of other parents tend to fight back, and the UN doesn't like all that violence.

"...and it's a bad idea to be on high mountains with glaciers melting," Stephen Schneider, a Stanford University scientist and study co-author, said."

LOL! Academics and their friends don't want more people around their getaways.
