Senate Environment and Public Works Committee Chairwoman Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) blasted skeptics of climate science Wednesday, alleging they are “endangering humankind.”

“The message I have for climate deniers is this: you are endangering humankind,” Boxer said during a press conference in the Capitol. “It is time for climate deniers to face reality, because the body of evidence is overwhelming and the world’s leading scientists agree.”

Boxer criticized skeptics of climate science, alleging they are standing in the way of significant progress toward lowering greenhouse gas emissions both domestically and internationally.

“Wishing that climate change will go away by clinging to a tiny minority view is not a policy — it is a fantasy,” Boxer said. “Problems do not go away by pretending they do not exist. And the longer that vocal minority insists on keeping their heads in the sand, the more it endangers billions of people around the globe and threatens to dramatically and negatively reshape the world as we know it.”

Barbara Boxer is a pro-Chicom Fascist pig.

She cannot prove her assertions.

Show us the proof, Boxer.....

Disbelievers to be sent to Gulag..

There is no such thing as a climate change denier. There are many who deny that human generated CO2 will cause irrevocable damage to the Earth and that the solution is to hand over the world’s economies and our freedom to global bureaucrats.

But that won’t fit into a demagogic sound bite.

[Parley Baer]

Her genes are endangering humankind.

Yeah Barb, the average citizen can really stop you as a senator from doing anything you want.

Just keep hammering away at the strawmen and look like you’re doing something brave.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Hey, Babs? I thought good, little Progs, like yourself, wanted to DECREASE the population?

[ColdOne]

Don’t call me Ma’am Boxer?

[Secret Agent Man]

Can we steal Barb’s speech and tweak it a bit to use against the pro-aborts, the people who genuinely endanger mankind?

A one word memo to Ma'am Boxer and her horde of climate alarmists and AGW panderers:

Checkmate

[rockinqsranch]

Barbara Boxer.

There IS a village behind that idiot.

[no-to-illegals]

Wonder what the problem with Babs is? Is she worried a scandal is about to land on her head? There is no other reason to attempt distraction away from her wicked ways. Been praying at the alter of the devil again Babs?

The message I have for climate deniers is this: you are endangering humankind.”

My fellow Freepers may take strong issue with me but I refuse to be a head-in-the-sand, mankind-endangering, troglodyte climate denier.

There is simply too much evidence to ignore. We are experiencing evidence of "climate" right here where I live. In fact, we have had climate here for as long as I can remember.

Not only that, but we have definitely experienced global warming. It starts happening where I live right around the middle of March (however, the effects begin to wear off around November).

Flame away.

Barbara Boxer denies unicorns are upsetting the natural order of the soul... Something conservatives understand will undermine the strength of the country. She opposes massive transfers of money to fundamentalist Christian Churches to stop the unicorn problem. Boxer's a UNICORN DENIER...

How dare Barbara Boxer "endanger billions of people around the globe" because of her lack of insight. The science is settled ( on our side ) about this issue... STOP UNICORNS from upsetting the natural order of the soul... or else...

‘You are endangering humankind’

So nice to know that Ms. Boxer is concerned about species not her own.

'You are endangering humankind’
It's okay you b*tch, you can say "mankind" and you won't melt.
On second thought ...

Abnormal psychologists call this behavior "projection". Accusing others of your own foibles. It is the rabid environmentalists that are destroying our energy infrastructure to the detriment of our ability to grow food. We are the primary source of food for the world. The complaints about how much energy we use omits the fact that much of that energy is producing food and other goods for the rest of the world. If Boxer gets her way, there will be mass starvation.
