Democrats Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders both promise even tougher action against climate change than Obama has taken. This is a very big reason why elections matter.


Truer words were never spoken

Fortunately, when it comes to science, that fact, even if true, is irrelevant.

Eugene Robinson is one who has beaten all the odds; he has never been right even by accident.

I fixed the first paragraph -

The vast majority of scientists who have devoted their professional lives to studying the Earth's climate accepted grant money to prove the existence of Global Warming believe human-induced warming is an urgent problem requiring bold action.

Eugene Robinson is an idiot, who’s opinion is unworthy of any consideration.

True. The GOP sits on its hands while Obama and the Democrats keep growing the government.

Yeah, Eugene...your presentation would carry far more weight if you were offering a money-back guarantee that reducing CO2 emission will lower the average global temperature. We are left to wonder why you're not putting your money where your mouth is.

Perhaps you're not nearly as convinced of your spurious assertion as you would have us believe.

The only thing worse than a do nothing Congress, is a do something Congress.

Nah, just do nothing folks. Thanks...

If they would step up to the plate and actually oppose Obama, that would help, but they won’t.

Excepting Planned Parenthood, just do nothing until we get some actually leaderxhip.

Eugene, how big is YOUR carbon footprint? Did you take a warm shower this morning? Drive to work today? Ever fly in an airplane on a vacation? What about your employer, the San Jose Mercury? What was their electric bill last month? Do they have air conditioning? Are they still killing carbon dioxide absorbing trees to print youu drivel?

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

H. L. Mencken

..and, of course, “Global Warming” is just another one of these “hobgoblins.”

Someone should tell these democrats/marxists that 1 million Earth's fit into the Sun. The sun has the power of trillions of hydrogen bombs. A few pounds of hydrogen fuel = a nuclear hydrogen bomb.

But the liberal media want us to believe that a small change in a gas CO2 that is .0004 of the atmosphere , a small change in that small percentage drives the Earth's climate not the solar Cycle that recently created the mini Ice age.

Show liberals/marxists/democrats this:

If you want to study AGW from the point of view that it is settle science, the government gives you millions in grant monies. If you want to do an unbiased or balanced study, you get zilch. Except for the press calling you a tool of big oil.
