It’s not that we discount GW, it’s that we are ice-age deniers!
Most Republicans have college educations plus advanced degrees which prohibit us from engaging in BS.
I don't reject the science, I reject the gross distortion of the science. And besides, the earth is cooling of late and has erased much of the earlier gains.
1. Even if it is real, there is no way to deal with it.
2. We’ve got bigger problems to deal with than these imaginary problems the Dems dream up for their own partisan purposes.
Most Democrats dispute the threats posed by the Red Menace, Socialism, Communism, and Islamic Imperialism.
“Most Republicans Discount Global Warming”
“Discount” assigns WAY too much value to this outright socialist propaganda.
Discount? No, I’d pay someone to take it away.
It’s always funny how the MSM and liberals portray conservatives as ignorant on this subject. But I bet more conservatives can tell me what the number one “greenhouse” gas is than can liberals. Liberals are always shocked to find out what it is. Hint. It’s not carbon dioxide.
Age played a role in opinions, Pew said. Fifty-four percent of people under age 30 believe that the earth is warming mostly because of human activity, compared with 37 percent of those ages 65 and older
Young people are being indoctrinated in school. Be good little Hitler youths and tell your parents to recycle or they will die.
Except the ones with the microphones who are the self-appointed mouthpieces of the party members and thus make us all look stupid.
Then perhaps they could provide some hard evidence to back up these claims. It's funny how the MSM assumes that conservatives think like liberals: "See? Your politicians are telling you about it, so it MUST be true!"
We used to say, 30 years ago before Global Warming, that we should wait until 15 May to set out the plants when the last danger of frost was past. There was frost this morning, ice on the small pond.
The business of global climate change benefits the high rollers at the expense of the little guys. I hate globally planned extortion.
The elites are all engaging in the BIG LIE, the one that they repeat over and over to sell their scam to the ignorant population as if it is true.
Nothing in it but loss of sovereignty and loss of wealth and stature. Our benefit as the people is ZERO.
I am so totally done with the Republicans. I will vote for Barr or Paul.
most Dems dispute terrorism being a threat.
Let’s see who was right in 20 years.
Isn't that funny? Most of them discount conservatism, too.

And why is that, one wonders. Perhaps, because there is no conclusive evidence of this sort of sudden serious catastrophic situation happening in the entire geological or human history of the planet, by the actions of ANY biological factor?
There are periods of which the planet may have been warmer, or colder, than it now is. At no time has this period of extended warmth, or coldness, been known to threaten humanity with extinction. Or any other species, for that matter. The hue and cry that some rare very localized and highly specialized species is “threatened” by climate change alone, overlooks the fact that the very specialization has put the species in an evolutionary dead end, and they would have died out anyway, as they could no longer adapt to existing conditions. They die out because they do not have useful strategies to adapt, like high rates of reproduction, enabling a few of the millions born or hatched to survive to the age of reproduction, or evolving some kind of protective adaptation along with the climatic change. Thus we have fish that can survive being frozen in ice for months at a time, but are literally cooked when they get into water that is as warm as only a few degrees above freezing. Most of these adaptations will die, but with enough offspring produced, SOME will survive, thus assuring the continuation of at least a subspecies.
Global warming (or global cooling) may or may not be occurring. But whether either situation is due to any activities of humanity, is still unanswered, and nobody can say authoratively that humanity contributes significantly to such change.
It is like a gnat sitting on the head of an elephant, and imagining it is guiding the larger creature. In all likelihood, the larger creature is totally unaware of the presence of the smaller. Or if it is, the larger creature considers the smaller creature an annoyance.
Thus the planet opens up a volcano, and in hours, totally swamps the pollution output of ALL of human activity over a period of years.
And really bad pollution, too. Fine choking dust, noxious gas, huge ejected rocks, molten lava, and fissures that swallow up or smash large strips of real estate.
I don’t discount global warming. I do, however, discount man-made global warming and the “solutions” that liberals propose...as trite bovine excrement.
(1) It’s hard to think of global warming (a general term that encompasses everything but says nothing) when areas of the land are still snow-covered.
(2) And, we don’t want to put any more money in albore’s companies since albore stands to gain a whale of a lot of money from the hysteria he started and his followers perpetuated.

Oddly, so do the actual scientific observations.
Argo System ocean temperature probesGiven that ocean temperatures are regarded as a main indicator of AGW, what the Argo System is showing is that PC AGW is a hoax.
