When A=A, and it isn't working out, call A, "B".

When your lies aren’t working, come up with a new set of lies. But, never, never stop lying.

The so-called environmental crisis has evolved from a science question to a marketing problem. It has truly been completely politicized; there’s no science left.

Thanks xcamel. Did a search didn’t find it. Anyone else think the search here could be improved. ;-) Maybe I’m doing something wrong.

Excellent summary! May I use that? :-)

Al Gore urged to pull another BS term outta his @$$.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Yep. They’re only doing this because people aren’t buying their BS anymore.

Global Warming is the only universally accepted religion of the left, and any non-believers will be smitten.

[C210N]

First, Global Cooling, then Global Warming, now Climate Change... all these terms still leave a big hole in their "science". To complete their coverage, they should coin and then use the term Global Climate Staying-the-Same.

How about: "Climate Happens" :-)

[lafroste]

No, this could be fun. Use the theasaurus...

"environmentalist" = "brain dead moron"

"environmental movement" = "communist subversion"

Say that DOES work better.

[WayneM]

Doesn’t work with me. I instantly recognize this as the same tired old global warming BS no matter what verbage they choose to cloak it in.

The alarm bells go off immediately.

Kinda like when someone mentions a “special friend” or ‘partner”.

I saw a program on “history Channel” Friday night regarding the little ice age from the 1700’s - 1800’s and how it affected the Revolutionary War through the Napoleonic Wars and the brutal weather around the military campaigns.

Toward the end, I kid you not, the “climate scientists” actually said that global waring was responsible for the frigid temps and massive snow storms of that time.

They should all be held legally responsible for all the fraud they are perpetuating.

Exactly right. When you can't sell a pile of sh*t, call it "fertilizer".
