Yep, we’re not allowed to question the global warming hype.
Does any of this global warming stuff remind anyone else of religious orthodoxy? I think it’s funny, because so many liberal global warming types do not like religion, yet they adhere with a religious zeal that they would condemn others for, if those other people were so into their religion in that manner.
And how are Al Gore’s carbon credits any different from the indulgences that the Catholic church sold during the Middle Ages? You can buy a carbon credit and still produce that evil pollution, as long as you have paid your “tax” on carbon????? Does that make any sense to anyone; you don’t have to actually reduce your carbon output, you simply have to pay a tax to be allowed to do so???????
Remember the “hole in the ozone” craze? Whatever happened to that one? It seems like that faded away just as Global Warming became the new cause du jour for fear mongers, paranoids and the easily duped
“Remember the “hole in the ozone” craze?”
Yes, and what did we get for all our money?
Crappy refrigerants and a lot of money down the drain.
The AGW scam is far more insidious IMO. Taxes, regulations, totalitarian, or so it seems to be. Your breathing is going to be subject to government oversight...
No Global Warming, no money for Cap and Trade taxes.
Follow the money. It’s all about money.
That one seemed to retreat to the back burner as soon as manufacture of F-12 was outlawed in the US and R134 was introduced.
Saw another "sky is falling" piece recently which claimed the ozone hole had closed too tightly and was contributing to global warming. I'm sorry, I don't have the reference. I just read it and chuckled.

We all know Dupont chemicals got rich over the refrigerant changeover
Guess who is a major player in "smart grid"
IBM is, they are on the radio touting it
0bammy represents the "never done anything" new managerial class. Who always says they can do things "smarter" Dittos for Geithner. Same for Hillary but usually this managerial class is younger policy wonks who spend a lifetime in Gubbermint. But never ran a business and rarely if ever worked in the dreaded private sector. John Kerry was this kind too
Your new commissars
Everyone should read the article in the March 2009 issue of The American Spectator (not available online). The title is “Why the World Is Getting Warmer, Even Though It Is Getting Colder”, by Peter Farrara. He blows the notion of man-made global warming right out of the water. Obama’s plan to tax U.S. businesses for CO2 emissions is lunacy!
Yeah, I wonder how long it will take before some left wing nutjob calls for us to be executed for treason.
As the old saying goes, people who believe in nothing, will believe in anything.

Fear not we still have people drawing very nice salaries at NASA who are monitoring the ozone hole. I can’t tell if it is still a problem or not
I remember that one. We kept sending things into the upper atmosphere to test the declining levels. I remember a comedian doing a gig about this. His premise was that the hole was exactly above where we had been sending up the probes. The probes had punctured a hole in the ozone layer, and made it worse each time. He suggested we stop sending up the probes and the hole would heal itself...............Guess he was right, huh?
Who else benefits? GE it's right on the tip of my tongue. GE, who is it?
The GOD complex is alive and well in the GW community, and with the current white house occupants and congressional leaders.
It's the audacity to hope that climate change is good science.
Kind of like JFK's best & brightest cabinet which got about 57,000 Americans slaughtered in Viet Nam.

No, the global warming “stuff” does not remind me of religious orthodoxy...it is pretty lame to compare a political delusion with natural fact. Perhaps a better metaphor would have been comparing the global warming “stuff” to atheist delusions...in fact, they are really very similar if one thinks about it. All one does is take the wrong premise to begin with then try to provide data to support that wrong premise and finally, to denigrate those who disagree with said wrong premise...
And then they were saying for a while that R134 had the same effect and would have to be eventually replaced. That one sort of died a natural death, fortunately.
