Don’t count on it. This is the Marxist mantra. Watch your back.
Libs never admit they are wrong, never!
I'm not seeing the far left playing the same rhetorical game the right does.
The left generally ignores conservatives.

Yep, to listen to the global warming crowd, the sky is falling.
I have always felt that, even if there was global warming, that it would not be the end of the world as we know it, but that somehow we would adapt. But you can’t have such calm discussions about this with those people. They are hysterical about the cause.
In fact, I have sometimes wondered if there were benefits to global warming. Just think — during the last ice age, Chicago was buried under a mile of ice. Aren’t we all happy that there has been global warming since the ice age, so that the mass of North America is not covered in ice???
They lost when they had to change the name from global warming
Just for some perspective. The percentage of CO2 in Venus’ atmosphere (the planet most associated with planetary warming): 96%. The percentage of CO2 in Earth’s atmosphere: .04% (not 4%, .04%)
Lost the war?
Not by a long shot.
They will ‘rest’ and be back in a decade or two or four.
These are the same types who advocated for global cooling and the ozone layer and Population Zero in the 1960s and 1970s. When reality did not cooperate, they renamed their advocacy global warming. When reality did not cooperate, they renamed their advocacy climate change and now climate disruption.
They didn’t lose. They may have called a truce — which they will use to create more falsified and misinterpretated data to support their next rounds.
They will be back. Count on it.
Again?
The global warming crowd is exactly like the Islamofascists. They never go away, they just hunker down and regroup for another try at it...............
Statists (and we all know that is the true aim of the GW crowd) will never give up because their true master knows that path maximizes human misery.

CO2 levels reached 1,500 ppm in the early Carbonaceous period, the result was a global lush rain forest teeming with more life per square yard than we will ever see in our life times.
marked for later
Their goal has never been about reducing fossil fuels (except as a tool of that evil capitalism) or selling carbon credits or reduction of CO2. Their goal has always been system change.
With the radical Left, the issue [global warming] is never the issue. The issue is ALWAYS the [socialist] revolution.
The World's Carbon Dioxide Levels Just Hit a Staggering New Milestone
Wed May 6, 2015
The monthly global average concentration of carbon dioxide just broke 400 parts per million for the first time since record-keeping of greenhouse gas levels began.
[Keep in mind that it was 1600 ppm in the Carbonaceous -- my note.]
The milestone, reached last month, was announced by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration on Wednesday.
"It was only a matter of time that we would average 400 parts per million globally," said NOAA scientist Pieter Tans in a press release. "We first reported 400 ppm when all of our Arctic sites reached that value in the spring of 2012. In 2013 the record at NOAA's Mauna Loa Observatory first crossed the 400 ppm threshold. Reaching 400 parts per million as a global average is a significant milestone."
Crossing the 400 ppm threshold is equal parts disheartening and alarming. Less than a decade ago scientists and environmental activists, including Bill McKibben, launched a campaign to convince policy makers that global CO2 concentrations needed to be reduced to 350 ppm in order to avoid massive impacts from global warming. McKibben, who co-founded the group 350.org, explained the significance of that figure in a 2008 Mother Jones article entitled "The Most Important Number on Earth":
And so we're now in the land of tipping points. We know that we've passed some of them—Arctic sea ice is melting, and so is the permafrost that guards those carbon stores. But the logic of Hansen's paper was clear. Above 350, we are at constant risk of crossing other, even worse, thresholds, the ones that govern the reliability of monsoons, the availability of water from alpine glaciers, the acidification of the ocean, and, perhaps most spectacularly, the very level of the seas.
[…]
It's not clear if a vocal world citizenry will be enough to beat inertia and vested interest. If 350 emerges as the clear bar for success or failure, then the odds of the international community taking effective action increase, though the odds are still long. Still, these are the lines it is our turn to speak. To be human in 2008 is to rise in defense of the planet we have known and the civilization it has spawned.
We're now at 400.
CO2 represents only about 0.04% of the atmosphere (400 parts per million) so these dire predictions about rising CO2 levels amount to a few parts per million level changes. Of course the global warming cultists trumpet these dire increases, but the science ignorant public doesn’t recognize that these changes are barely measurable. It strains credibility to believe that our climate is being driven by molecular level changes in trace gases and that significant factors like solar output and ocean temperatures have no impact.
The warmists have not lost the war so long as they continue to get more government money and more regulations and laws. “Climate Change” is very much a part of the trade deal currently in the process of being foisted on the country by McConnell and Boehner. By summer of next year we are going to be so straitjacketed that the election will be totally irrelevant to anything.
