More than 97% used to insist the world was flat. More than 97% used to insist the Sun orbited the Earth. More than 97% STILL think there's a god of some sort. Consensus isn't everything.![]()
There is a God, the 97% are correct.

As I recall, there was a time when the consensus of leading scientists on Earth said that the sun orbited the Earth . . . except for a couple of guys named Copernicus and Galileo.
Guess it's a good thing no one believed science was decided by vote back then, because regardless of what the "consensus" thought, there has been no time at which the sun orbited the Earth.
Although, science was decided by vote back then. And the vote put people in jail for being correct. And now, that's what the liberals want to do.
So why is the solution to climate change a giant tax on the poor and middle class?
Conservatism = Borrow and Spend.
Cons don't pay their own bills so they don't understand why the government needs to pay its bills.

Leftists pay their bills with other people's money, so they don't understand why the government needs to cut back on the bills it runs up.

You obviously don't understand what 'borrow' means, which is the conservative solution to a budget. Borrow other people's money. That is what borrow means.
Try again.

What ever Algore says... Believe the opposite70% of those polled by Scientific American agreeI said a few weeks ago the Pope is a socialist. His speech to Congress left little doubt.Here's HuffPo disavowing Naomi Klein: Naomi Klein's Own Form of Climate Change Denial: Blame Capitalism
Having thus alienated mainstream readers - exactly the people the climate change movement most urgently needs to reach out to and bring on board - Klein then blocks meaningful debate among the already converted:
"Meeting science-based [carbon] targets will mean forcing some of the most profitable companies on the planet to forfeit trillions of dollars of future earnings by leaving the vast majority of fossil fuel reserves in the ground. It will also require coming up with trillions more to pay for zero-carbon, disaster-ready societal transformations... if climate justice carries the day, the economic costs to our elites will be real."
Get real, Ms. Klein.
It wouldn't be to bad except the damn flat earth pope invites the nut bag to the Vatican
Pope Francis recruits Naomi Klein in climate change battle
As for climate change, there is nothing wrong with being skeptical, but there is a big difference between being a skeptic and a denier. The Right is bogged down by deniers.
If global warming is real, and if it is caused by humans, my problem starts with the Left's "solutions" to global warming. I've often said the climate change movement is the 1970s Old Left socialism with a new party dress on, but no amount of bling can hide the wrinkles on that old familiar face.
I don't trust the Left to solve problems, and never have.
It's one thing to think the Left couldn't solve a problem, it's another thing entirely to deny the problem exists.
I am more and more convinced the problem exists.

Here's my deal. Lets get down to the truth of this. I've been a conservationist all my life (note conservationist not new palsy walsy asswipes that join in on some ******* cause) My deal has always been water. Going back to Grassy Narrows. Google it. I rocked.
I don't see how any of their plans work. IF AND ITS A BIG IF how are carbon taxes going to help the environment.
Look you have Al Gore ready to buy a house with 20 fountains in the front lawn bitching about energy use. This is some game they are running down on us.
All the denial is moot.
CO2 allow sunlight to pass to the Earth, but it captures much of that energy when it is radiated back to space at night as infrared energy.
This is why its called the Greenhouse Effect. Energy enters but cannot escape.
As the CO2 levels rise in the atmosphere more energy is captured before it escapes, raising the temperatures of the entire globe. 280 ppm has been the MAXIMUM CO2 levels for the last 20 million years and all of the biological systems have acclimated and formed equilibriums based on that. It is now 403 ppm and rising. We've likely passed the point of no return regarding Runaway Global Warming, where the Methane Clathrates melt and enter the atmosphere.
Denying physical reality is the domain of the criminally insane or the intentionally insane.

You really think lying is going to work?
You're a liar. You don't speak the truth. You want to fool people. Its understandable when a greedy scumbag CEO in the energy industry does it, even if it is reprehensible, because they have something to gain.
You carry their water for no reason, like a sheep. You bray at the things you've been told to bray at. You don't know the science you merely accept what other corrupt people tell you. This is what the denier cult is, it is a collection of easily led sheep who are scared of reality to begin with so they eagerly follow anyone who tells them 'its all going to be ok'.
You're a liar, that's all.
