Good tries and good posting.

At FR there used to be a real debate about climate change with some truly intelligent and well-informed Freepers.

At this point only the Limbaugh informed and head in the sand Freepers actually show up for climate change issues. The rest have moved on to finding market-based, conservative solutions.

You can expect a lot of projection. You will be called wacky or crazy or blind, blah, blah, blah.

Some people just cannot admit being wrong.

My favourite part is that they will actually paint a picture where the only alternative to doing nothing is to do what the wacky left suggests - as if there are no logical solutions, that Americans are completely incapable of rising to the challenge and that a smaller call and fluorescent light bulb will mean the end of civilization as we know it.

Sometimes, I tend to think these people just work for the oil or coal companies.

Then sometimes you live in a fantasy world.

God forbid! Where? We can't have anybody work for the oil or coal companies, and if they do we surely can't have them express any opinions in the public square. Their opinions are simply not worth as much as those of scientists 'working' for the government or some foundation...

What's hilarious is that you think a smaller call and fluorescent light bulb will do anything to affect the temperature of the planet.

And I was beginning to wonder if I were the only one who saw this.
