Republican-lead Senate Votes 98-1 That Climate Change Is Not A Hoax

[orogenicman]

Well of course, climate change isn't a hoax. The weather changes every freakin' day. Imagine if we had no weather?

And this is why people have no faith in Congress.

Proving yet again, the irony of deniers, who rather pathetically cannot tell climate from the weather.

It does boggle the mind that some of the same wags packing enough hubris to flatly declare that humans don't influence the environment-- are the same ones who can't distinguish "climate" from "weather".

Really makes ya wonder how they find their way to the supermarket -- presumably using an astrolabe...

The OP has the political IQ of a small soap dish!!

The level of naïve is assstounding!!!

 

[Old Rocks]

Given that until the turn of the century the 'Conservatives' were all stating that nothing at all was happening, that is a small step forward. The secondary vote, that human activities are contributing to that change, is much more important.

Now, we have to address what we are going to do about those activities.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Now many on the far right are denying they said climate change was a hoax.

No, it is not a hoax.

The questions are: how much of it is man made and how much can we effect that change.

I am glad the GOP is clearing the deadwood of the far reactionary right on marriage equality, abortion, climate change, etc. About time.

 

[Billy_Bob]

Again the left wits imply that all climactic change is man caused, Yet when questioned about climatic change 65 senators stated that it was a normal and natural cycle of the earth which man can not hope to influence. Climate Change is real its just NOT MAN MADE...

Once again liberals and democrats are lying their asses off in an attempt to further their socialist agenda..

You stupid fuck... lying some more?

You lied when you wrote, "Again the left wits imply that all climactic change is man caused," I have never seen any such fucked up nonsense, and you make the responsible GOP look bad by suggesting the right agrees with you. It does not.

The millennials will not put up with such bull shit, and they will determine the elections in 2016. For the first time, they all can vote, and the climate issues are important to them.

Don't be stupid.

Wow, are you appealing to concrete thinkers, or are you one?

 

[Moonglow]

Let's see that same Senate appropriate tens of trillions of dollars, shut down entire industries at the cost of tens of millions of jobs, and then forcibly increase utility rates 10-fold.

Fucking bullshit.

Carbon trade, coming over the horizon....

Couple of game changers for this whole debate, wind and solar now in direct competition with conventional energy, and grid scale batteries now a reality.

Oncor proposes giant leap for grid batteries Dallas Morning News

Coal will be phased out in less than a generation simply on economics alone. And both nuclear and gas another generation after that. Solar, wind, and geo-thermal can do it all without the pollution or environmental damage and waste involved in nuclear and the other options.

How come every Democrat swore by MIT professor Jonathan Gruber, but not a one of them ever heard of this MIT professor:

An MIT professor of meteorology is dismissing global-warming alarmists as a discredited “cult” whose members are becoming more hysterical as emerging evidence continues to contradict their beliefs.

During an appearance on this writer’s radio show Monday, MIT Professor emeritus Richard Lindzen discussed the religious nature of the movement.

“As with any cult, once the mythology of the cult begins falling apart, instead of saying, oh, we were wrong, they get more and more fanatical. I think that’s what’s happening here. Think about it,” he said. “You’ve led an unpleasant life, you haven’t led a very virtuous life, but now you’re told, you get absolution if you watch your carbon footprint. It’s salvation!”

Well, see, skooterboy. Here is the deal. You deniers are the ones making this a political issue. I'm a geologist, and only care about the science. So you can act like a 7 year old as long as your family can put up with you, because I don't really give a damn.

Do you know what an Emeritus Professor is? I won't make you look it up. It's an old retired guy, former professor who may or may not have kept up on new discoveries or research and may or may not lecture on things which will benefit him financially.

Now I don't know this Emeritus Professor, but all of the climate change deniers accuse researchers of lying to get funding from the government, and the climate change deniers don't know any of these researchers either.

So, turn around is fair play (though it may not be worth anything).

Oh, we know who Dr. Lindzen is, all right. He has a history of whoring his credentials to the highest bidder. He testified before Congress that smoking was harmless. And, testified before Congress that CO2 was not a factor in climate change, after the energy companies paid him $2500 for that days work. Yes, we know full well who Lindzen is, and what he is.

the left wing idiot liberals think they are so smart... nope!

Millennials are running form the climate alarmists bull shit...

Climate Change is a natural even that has happened on Earth long before the far left perverted the term.
