The Tea Party - The Koch Brothers - Climate change

[Procrustes Stretched]

The battle waged on climate change is an ideological one. Was it always so? A few facts before your knees jerk and you settle into denial mode. It is driven by views on public policy. Think about what was the mainstream position of the Republican Party less than a decade ago.

For the angry supporters of the Tea Party, opposed to government spending in almost any form, the prescription is anathema. “If you decide climate change is real, there must be a role for government to combat it. So the only way out is to deny it exists,” Mr. Karpinski said.​

Eli Lehrer, who runs the R Street Institute, a fairly conventional conservative research firm except that it supports a carbon tax to combat climate change, argued that the Republicans’ stance was “a direct reaction to the Democrats’ efforts to use scientific facts to try to dictate public policy.”

Sure, climate change is real, Mr. Lehrer acknowledged. Yet “the science doesn’t — and can’t — demand any particular public policy and certainly doesn’t dictate that we do what the left wants.”

The climate has been changing forever. It will continue to change. Some scientists believe that humans have a direct impact on it. But trying to curb carbon emissions to slow the change could destroy the economy, eliminate millions of jobs and cast Americans into poverty.

This is what’s known today as the moderate Republican position on climate change...

Then there are Republicans like James Inhofe, the chairman of the Senate committee responsible for the environment, who calls global warming “the greatest hoax,” and Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, another presidential contender, who argues that the scientific case for seeking to curb climate change is nothing more than a liberal plot aimed at “massive government control of the economy, the energy sector and every aspect of our lives.”

It wasn’t always so. These views, in fact, stand in sharp contrast to the mainstream position of the Republican Party less than a decade ago.​

Republicans aren't going to ride the Kamikaze Global Warming plane down to the carrier deck with you nut burgers.

 

[Avorysuds]

It's pretty much fact that if you believe in global warming you don't understand science at all.


For Global warming to be science it at least has to be right some of the time... Instead all we have is people wanting it to be real all the time.

NASA NOAA and an overwhelming majority of scientists worldwide say one thing -- and then ther are there whack-a-doodle-do-nuts on the web

We report

You decide

 

[Procrustes Stretched]

Also, the whack-a-doodle-do-nuts on the web would have you believe that believing in the experts, makes you somehow a lefty left-wing drone, with beliefs similar to religious folks, and out for some whacky reason --- out to destroy America and capitalism

Horseshit. Scientists don't all say one thing, not even a large majority of them. That's a flat out lie.

The're you go again, with "BELIEF" no facts no data you just BELIEVE in the experts.

That's a cult....

er..um.. "must be brought BACK" or what? What's your plan B if the Republicans tell the climate change crowd to go pound sand?

 

[LordBrownTrout]

The climate has been changing for millions of years. Its the height of arrogance that man thinks that he can alter significant climate change.
