[Big Oil could care less about carbon taxes, they’ll just pass it on in higher prices. Large multinational corporations are part of the crony capitalist cabal in cahoots with Big Government.]

Regulations, fees and taxes often aid large corporations because they have a much greater impact on smaller competitors.

I wonder if they called Galileo a flat Earth denier?

Remember: The government's 1200 IPCC government controlled “scientists” trump our 31,000 independent thinking private sector Scientists.

http://www.petitionproject.org/

“We urge the United States government to reject the global warming agreement that was written in Kyoto, Japan in December, 1997, and any other similar proposals. The proposed limits on greenhouse gases would harm the environment, hinder the advance of science and technology, and damage the health and welfare of mankind.
There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth.”

Scientists sign petition denying man-made global warming
More than 31,000 scientists have signed a petition denying that man is responsible for global warming.

f the Pope says that Climate Change is man-made then he has rendered himself fallible.

Pope is only infallible on matters of faith, period. On matters of science, popes have never been accurate going back past the dark ages. Did not the Church put out the earth was the center of the universe for many eons?

There is no crack in our Science.

However, those that continue to promote the man-made Climate Change scam sound like they are smoking crack.

The chart below comes from the "US Climate Reference Network" for the contiguous 48 states.

The USCRN, made up of 114 state-of-the-art weather stations, located in pristine unpopulated areas in the USA, is the most sophisticated and most accurate weather network in the world.

Over the last 10.5 years, the average temperature in the Lower 48 has declined almost 0.5 degrees F.

I consider the phrase “Climate Change Denier” a microagression and makes me want to flee to a ‘Safe Space’ place.

References to "Climate Change" are themselves microagression. The newest-newspeak term is "Climate Injustice." Just ask the pope.

Now get with the program, or prepare to be twitter-shamed and hash-tagged into submission.

“The arguments have not been undercut by corporations signing on.

Facts are funny like that.”

Exactly, follow the money.

Big Oil is also fighting a war with the NG industry. Fracking companies have been hit hard by the decline in oil prices.

I am not a denier. I am a skeptic. Proponents of Global Climate Change theory have made a lot of predictions, none of which have come true. They have also faked data to make their prediction look less bad.

When it got colder, they said that, yes, that is what you would expect from global climate change - except that no one had predicted that outcome in advance.

The burden of proof is CLEARLY on them, especially because they demand so much from us in terms of money and lifestyle change. And even if they ARE correct, they have not made a solid case that it would make the world worse. I mean, it may mean that more farmland would become available, who knows?

That's funny. It makes me want to knock someone to the ground, and then pound their face until they have to eat with a straw.

There is really no point in debating religious fanatics.

This is what I was thinking.

It appears that the world is growing closer and closer to the Nazi/Fascist model of government.

Your first two sentences would form a perfect tagline.

We should respond to the Left’s microaggressions macroaggressively, ideally finishing things up with the phrase “OK, you can pick up your teeth now.”
