One man's fight against the church of Obamacentrism.
It’s open season on Republican front-runner Rick Perry.
A favorite charge is that he’s ignorant and anti-science. Some of Perry’s recent remarks about anthropogenic global warming — for example, that there is a “substantial number of scientists who have manipulated data,” and that “weekly or daily” scientists are “coming forward and questioning” AGW — have his critics nearly chortling with glee as they derisively dismiss such an obvious dummy.
Thomas Friedman of the New York Times jokingly calls Perry crazy for alleging that “climate change is some fraud perpetrated by scientists trying to gin up money for research.” But Friedman is so busy laughing at Perry that he doesn’t even bother to distinguish between global warming and anthropogenic global warming, although it’s the latter about which Perry made his skeptical remarks. What’s more, in citing record-setting Texas drought and wildfires in order to mock Perry for doubting the obvious reality of global warming, Friedman makes one of the most basic errors of all in the global warming debate: confusing weather with climate.

Rick Perry must be as stupid as I am, I have said those same things.
Global Warming isn’t about science, It’s about money.
500 million in a solar panel company that dies here, and a few million in a GM electric car there. It adds up.
And Obama’s campaign fund gets a piece of it all.
I don’t remember Perry saying any of that when he was chairing Al Gore’s presidential campaign in Texas.. I wonder what made him change his mind just in time for the republican primary.
Your kinda out of date....that has been proven wrong. Another big fat lie. And again a supposed right winger has been sucked into to the lefts lie. Oh well, if it suits your stand then why not.
"anthropogenic global warming" doesn't exactly roll off a politician's tongue. So they take a short cut and sort of equate the two together since that is what liberals and scientists are doing. What is also interesting is that scientists are certainly comfortable saying anthropogenic global warming, although they seldom use tne term. Bottom line - everyone should use the term because it exposes the fact that non-anthropogenic global warming is not up for discussion because we can't affect it anyway. It also us to expose how small man-made contributions are to global warming.
Thanks shield.
And they fall easy victim to liberal tactics. While the word "anthropogenic" may be a tongue-twister and confuse both politicians and the voters, it's easy enough to say "man-caused" (or "human-caused" in the politically correct version).
"Global warming" is real. It's been happening since the end of the last ice age and probably will continue for a while longer. But it is *not* human-caused. I realize you're making the same point and it's a very important one. Imprecise use of language is the result of imprecise thinking and it can lead to very unpleasant results. Liberals love to manipulate language, Orwell-style, and are delighted when conservatives fall into their trap.
“Global Warming isn’t about science, It’s about money.”
BINGO.
Solyndra, the logical endpoint of Obamanomics

“Obama claimed his election would mark “the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal.” But that was just the cover story. At its core, Obamanomics is about the top-down redistribution of wealth and income. Government spending on various “green” subsidies and programs, along with a cap-and-trade system to limit carbon emissions, would enrich key Democrat constituencies: lawyers, public sector unions, academia and non-profits. “
He didn't. You are throwing out a lie.
Braaaak, get a cue, Parrot.
Eisenhower warned about the corrupting effect government money can have on research 50 years ago: LINK: Today, the solitary inventor, tinkering in his shop, has been overshadowed by task forces of scientists in laboratories and testing fields. In the same fashion, the free university, historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery, has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research. Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity.
