I am dismayed at the number of conservatives who embrace the global warming fraud.

I believe some do it because they want to appear "moderate".

For some, they're simply too lazy to educate themselves on the counter argument.

I have a great concern that VP Pence has simply drank the koolaid.

So people in developed countries contribute far more to this “problem” than people stuck in third world hell holes, so why do we want to let them cross the boarder where they make the problem so much worse. Close the boarders to save the planet.

I care not whether they believe in AGW. It is just that they want to legislate a solution. A very costly and freedom-killing solution.

Their purpose is to destroy civilization as we know it and then build it up again as a communist totalitarian dictatorship with all religions eliminated except you know which one (the religious totalitarian dictatorship).

At no point in the transition would the ruling elite ever suffer one bit for even one second.

Man made gloBULL “climate change” is a hoax. Always remember that.

The “Appeal to Authority”is the weakest form of argument.

I'm going for a combination of options two, "moving to the North or South Pole", and three, "plotting the destruction of half the human beings on the planet."

Outside of Seattle, the rest of Washington state is conservative, and perfectly suited to simply sitting back, and shooting any slimy Leftist turd who demands that we "share" what we've earned.

When they lose the next election, and go full anti-Constitution, there will be drifts of Communist bodies in the streets.
I might have found it depressing, back when. However, considering the last 10 years of Democrat driven hatred, it's more like a natural acceptance of a natural progression of stupid losing to intellect.

Ok.. so its the end of the world as we know it will play in my head all day.
It’s better than yellow submarine.
I thought her majesty said we have 11 yrs.. he says 10..
Lol.. the Himalayas were melting by 2035.. see how quickly its happening.
The earth will end, I believe that. Spending US Citizens tax dollars is not going to stop it.
Not just no.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

“...next election...”. Do you mean 2020? Or something after that? IMHO the last election in the USA that will mean a damn thing is 2020. After that “elections” will be irrelevant. Trump is the last president. Prepare for that reality.

The AGW debate, more than anything, demonstrates the politicization of science, and the growth of celebrity science.

Science is supposed to be about finding the truth, without bias. It is supposed to be impervious to agenda, impervious to the personal beliefs of the scientist(s), and more importantly - impervious to the fame and fortune potentially gained by the scientist(s).

Today, all over the world, this has ceased to be true. Science is now primarily about sensationalism, publishing the 'hot' new 'story', getting as many grants as possible, being 'connected', getting in the print or broadcast news, traveling the world as a 'recognized' scientist - eating fine dinners and drinking fine wine paid for by your hosts. It's truly become a joke, and needs very serious reform.

This is why, after two decades of hype about 'growing new hearts with stem cells' (including many posts about this here on FR) there are still no effective stem cell therapies to regenerate hearts, the scientist who led the charge in this area has had 31 published papers retracted for falsified data, and the government halted a cardiac stem cell clinical trial for the same reason.

Less than 50% of all published scientific papers are ever cited even once in the literature. So much for contributing to the ongoing cumulative knowledge of humanity.

The same is true of climate science, and the 'celebrity' climate 'scientists' will not let go of their stature and celebrity easily.

"I think Al Gore was just in it for the money. I think the other two are sincere."

Cortez once admitted that 'climate change' is a good platform for advancing socialism. So no, I don't think she's sincere. I don't think she's been sincere about anything her whole life.

"Trump is the last president. Prepare for that reality."

Too many people believe that Democrats are human. They even think that the Constitution can survive another civil war.

I'd like to think these two things are true. Half the country wants a Communist dictatorship, for our own good, 'cause it's "fair". Unfortunately...

There are now, in this country two completely ideologically opposed cultures. One will win.

I thought AOC said she was kidding about the 12 years.

“You thought I was serious about that?”

The Sun gets 10% warmer every billion years.

Eventually the corrupt scaremongers will be right.
