Al Gore Compares Climate Change Skeptics To 20th Century Racists

video
» 591 comments

Al Gore pushed the rhetorical envelope yesterday when he compared skeptics of climate change to racists during the Civil Rights Movement. Gore was sitting down for an interview with Alex Bogusky of the Climate Reality Project, and suggested that young people today whose parents do not believe in climate change are asking the same questions now that race-conscious young people in the 60s asked their parents.

Gore explains:

“There came a time when racist comments would come up in the course of the conversation and in years past they were just natural. Then there came a time when people would say, ‘Hey, man why do you talk that way, I mean that is wrong. I don’t go for that so don’t talk that way around me. I just don’t believe that.’ That happened in millions of conversations and slowly the conversation was won.”

In some circles, according to Gore, just using the words “climate change” is considered taboo, as was the case with Southerners bringing up racism. The interviewer suggested the comparison may not be quite accurate, considering the scientific evidence available for global warming. However, Gore suggested that there is a moral component that both arguments share.

Later in the interview, Gore addressed comments made by Rick Perry about climate change, and saw his remarks as part of “an organized effort to attack the reputation of the scientific community as a whole.”

“It’s not in [scientists'] nature to get ready to constantly defend themselves against political attacks. That’s not want they expected to be doing in their lives.”

    Right, because Democrats don’t deny the scientific fact that life begins at conception or that a fetus is a human being.

    Actually the GOP is pro science and the AL Gore and the democrats are anti science.  The liberals like Gore and the cult members of global warming fail to use the scientific method for there theories.   No matter what theory exists on any subject the science on it is never settled.  Thats why theories rise and fall with new ones replacing the old ones. 

    You see mankind’s current understand of natural climate change is extremely limited.  Its equivalent to a child reading abilities that yesterday just learned its abc’s. Thats why every computer model fails to predict what the scientists had expected to occur.  There are many factors science just doesn’t fully understand one is Clouds with its formation is a major one and effect on climate change.  ALso an increase of cosmic rays hitting the earth when the sun isnt as active is believed to relate to climate change.  So many factors but our current understand of the universe is extremely limited. 

    For an education of the subject.

    I understand many of the posters do not like Vice President Gore.  Fair enough.  What I cannot fathom is the depth of ignorance displayed here.  Climates scientists overwhelmingly concur that current global climate change is the result of man’s activities. 

    Why is that fact any different to people than scientific consensus on medical treatments.  When it comes to medical treatment most of us go with the preponderance of scientific evidence.  That’s not to say some people will treat strep throat with acupuncture but they are the minority.  Claiming global climate change is a hoax is like claiming medical science is a hoax.

    Even if you think climate scientists are almost all lying – why would they?  I mean if its grants they are looking for they should be claiming carbon emissions from big business are helping the environment – big business has big money.  If you are an evil, lying scientist why not go where the money is?

    1) Al Gore looks like he’s drinking too much- and I suspect the slight slurring of his speech isn’t “old timer’s” but rather “clears.”

    2) I call BULLS#IT over Gore casting himself as an advocate for civil rights back when he was young. Given his background and his father’s politics, he wouldn’t have DARED.

    3) Gore has made money hand over fist doing his “global warming”/”climate change” propaganda. Along with John Doerr, he has made more money selling his “green” agenda than he ever made at any time in his life. His fortune is inextricably tied to selling his propaganda- and his hypocrisy is massive. Unfortunately, the media is complicit and rarely exposes Gore’s lifestyle of the rich, famous and carbon excessive.

    So … rape the private sector by providing tax cuts for small business, by which said small businesses will have more available funds to hire more employees? 

    Or do you mean doing away with excessive tax cuts for the wealthy, who simply move money into and around in interest-bearing investments, which does nothing but gain more money for the wealthy?

    Or do you mean rape the private sector by passing legislation to make healthcare more accessible for people who otherwise cannot afford it?

    I’m amazed by the number of Conservatives who will bitch about how bad things are, yet keep voting for a party which favors solely the wealthy.

    We have the ability to test much of what the GOP is attempting to deny. Much of the global warming denial is a defense to keep drilling in ever more dangerous places; to use the methane ice at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico; to destroy mountain ranges for coal.

    Your claims are also untrue. Computer models *do* predict higher global temperatures based on increased levels of greenhouse gases. Yet the GOP wants to raise those levels unchecked.

    You’re right, though: climate change theory (not hypothesis, mind you) has changed gradually, as we learn more. We’re aware how global temperatures keep rising. We’re seeing the increase and instability of seasonal changes now. Storms are becoming more powerful. 

    But you’re free to believe what you will. In fact, just go burn a pint of oil in protest to knowledge.

  • Nobody

    But here’s a difference: The carbon dioxide in our bodies come from plats … which absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Coal and oil, on the other hand, are carbon deposits which cannot, in any reasonable amount of time, be re-absorbed from the atmosphere. If we limit our output, become more responsible people, we can slow this effect until we are able to find better ways to recycle carbon from our atmosphere, or even remove it in substantial quantities.

    And actually, the lack of critical thinking is why liberals are liberal. Most liberals, at some point in their lives, had a teacher or professor who was totally cool. And liberal. If someone who’s so cool and smart is also liberal, well, that must be the way to go. Liberals, for the most part, don’t even know why they believe in the causes they believe in, they just know that other liberals believe in it, too, so it must be cool.

    An article from 1992? Wow, how impressive and so not up to date. I mean it´s only 2011. As far as NAPAP  goes their summary reads as follows introducing their report in 2005 (seems the last one they issued):

    Acid deposition, more commonly known as acid rain, occurs when emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) react in the atmosphere (with water, oxygen, and oxidants) to form various acidic compounds. These acidic compounds then fall to earth in either a wet form (rain, snow, and fog) or a dry form (gases, aerosols, and particles). Prevailing winds transport the acidic compounds hundreds of miles, often across state and national borders. At certain levels the acidic compounds, including small particles such as sulfates and nitrates can cause many negative human health and environmental effects. While ecosystems are subject to many stresses, including land-use changes, climate change, and variations in hydrologic and meteorologic cycles, the scientific literature has clearly demonstrated that these pollutants can:

    Degrade air quality,

    Impair visibility,

    Damage public health,

    Acidify lakes and streams,

    Harm sensitive forests,

    Harm sensitive coastal ecosystems, and

    Accelerate the decay of building material

Only 22% of poll respondents do not think it is likely that some scientists have falsified research data, with 10% undecided.

    A powerful reason for growing public awareness of flaws in global warming claims, according to Rasmussen Reports, is recent news coverage of a peer-reviewed study documenting how NASA satellite data show more heat is escaping into space than United Nations computer models have predicted.”

The study indicates far less future global warming will occur than United Nations computer models have predicted, and supports prior studies indicating increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide trap far less heat than alarmists have claimed.

    Study co-author Dr. Roy Spencer, a principal research scientist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville and U.S. Science Team Leader for the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer flying on NASA’s Aqua satellite, reports that real-world data from NASA’s Terra satellite contradict multiple assumptions fed into alarmist computer models.

    “The satellite observations suggest there is much more energy lost to space during and after warming than the climate models show,” Spencer said in a July 26 University of Alabama press release. “There is a huge discrepancy between the data and the forecasts that is especially big over the oceans.”

    In addition to finding that far less heat is being trapped than alarmist computer models have predicted, the NASA satellite data show the atmosphere begins shedding heat into space long before United Nations computer models predicted.

    The new findings are extremely important and should dramatically alter the global warming debate.”

    Simply put, scientist have predicted the earth would warm due to mankind. The warming is established as scientific fact. Overall, the skeptics/deniers are arguing it isn´t caused by mankind since even they aren´t able to ignore the fact of global warming. A position which they long held, btw.

    Earth is currently experiencing rapid warming, which the vast majority of climate scientists says is due to humans pumping huge amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.Mars, too, appears to be enjoying more mild and balmy temperatures.

    In 2005 data from NASA’s Mars Global Surveyor and Odyssey missions revealed that the carbon dioxide “ice caps” near Mars’s south pole had been diminishing for three summers in a row.
     
    Habibullo Abdussamatov, head of space research at St. Petersburg’s Pulkovo Astronomical Observatory in Russia, says the Mars data is evidence that the current global warming on Earth is being caused by changes in the sun. “The long-term increase in solar irradiance is heating both Earth and Mars,” he said.”

    The term “global warming” is one of the issues. It’s Al’s “manbearpig” (love South Park). It is hard to know what is natural and what isn’t in terms of the climate. We really don’t know what the ultimate effect of deforestation, air pollution, water pollution, extinction… will be on the planet. To my way of thinking, it can’t be good. My main point is, by making the issue political, we truly don’t deal with it. We just yell at each other and name-call. That’s not productive and I feel we are being manipulated by someone, corporations, government, to do this so the real problems aren’t addressed.

    Or maybe you might consider this….

    The Earth is not alone in suffering global warming. According to observations made by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and several ground-based instruments, temperatures on Neptune’s largest moon have increased dramatically since the Voyager space probe swung by in 1989. So much so, in fact, that Triton’s surface of frozen nitrogen is turning into gas, making its thin atmosphere denser by the day.

    “At least since 1989, Triton has been undergoing a period of global warming,” confirms astronomer James Elliot, professor of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “Percentage-wise, it’s a very large increase.”

    Elliot and colleagues from the Lowell Observatory and Williams College report their findings in the June 25 issue of the journal Nature. Triton’s 5 percent increase on the absolute temperature scale from about -392 to -389 degrees Fahrenheit would be like the Earth experiencing a jump of some 22 degrees Fahrenheit in just nine years.

    Perhaps if you had said; ‘Climate scientists overwhelmingly concur that current global climate change has, in part, been measurably effected by the result of man’s activities’, you might have been more believable. If you can’t win an argument honestly, it’s time to review your premises.
    The argument is that cap and trade or sinking untold billions into fictional fixes by force of the government is a fraudulent enterprise promoted by alarmists. Free enterprise can be trusted far more than government to come up with solutions without robbing the population by force.

    More than 31,000 scientists across the U.S. – including more than 9,000 Ph.D.s in fields such as atmospheric science, climatology, Earth science, environment and dozens of other specialties – have signed a petition rejecting “global warming,” the assumption that the human production of greenhouse gases is damaging Earth’s climate.”There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth’s atmosphere and disruption of the Earth’s climate,” the petition states. “Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth.”Read more: 31,000 scientists reject ‘global warming’ agenda http://www.wnd.com/?pageId=64734#ixzz1WNYMuZ96

    Algore, since offerring up the idea that all of the little people should travel by bicycle (in his first book, check it out) while he drives in a chauffered vehicle, like some old Soviet administrator on the way to his dacha, while we’re good enough to walk.  He has made MILLIONS off of this idea.

    Cap and trade will continue to go down in flames. Damn all of us for screwing up his Gate-sian fantasies.
    Oh the planet she is changing, how much of it is man made and how much of it is us still coming out of the last ice age?  What sort of impact could we have on it barring mass suicide on a planetary level? If any? Or is it merely part of a larger cycle?  And having access to the tiniest of timelines, can’t see the bigger picture?

    If someone tells you that the science is done, they’re no scientist.  The foremost tenant in science beyond the method and that it’s either empirical or can be duplicated is that it’s never done.  Never ever, done. There is always more to know, more to learn, more to look at, more to discover.  The moment some nimnod says that, I immediately tune out and know that they’re only selling something…and probably dumber than the proverbial bag of rocks.

    And did you notice the “Did you know the hottest 12-month period ever recorded  was from June 2009 to May 2010″, which is about as significant a time span as his stupid 160 years of weather records, so by his own logic, we must now be in an era of global cooling, since it’s not as hot as it was two years ago.

    These religious nuts just have zero concept of the age of the Earth. They’re just scientifically challenged, and follow whatever they’re told to follow.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_NWVKX2P2QBPQ6FHQHCHVIC2ALQ Fedup in Florida

    Ok…  so yes there is global warming and there is global cooling as well as there always has been, some 40 years ago the scare was the new coming of an Ice age…  there is no doubt that there have been fluctuations in the earth’s tempetature…  the question is is it caused by CO2 which comprises something like less than 400 parts per million 0.04 percent of the earth’s atmosphere..   and of that 400 parts per million mans contributions are small as compared to the natural occurring CO2 in our atmosphere… 

    I am sorry, I just don’t buy into it deeply enough into the unsettled science to transform our entire economy at the cost of becoming a 3rd world nation…  if you think that the economy is bad now…  just jack up energy prices about 100, 200 to 300 percent or more to pay for the green technologies that are extremely inefficient and are in need of governmental subsidies to survive… 

    Keep working on the science but let us use our resources until you develop the technologies for the so called green economy.  Instead our government seems to be content to not allow us to develop our own fossil resources but is willing to pay other countries to develop the same in our own back yard…  Brazil and Mexico recently recieved large loan gurantees from the Obama administration to explore for and develop platforms for the extraction and storage of Oil in the Gulf of Mexico…   

    Don’t try to force the move prematurely as the economy you see in this country today will look great compared to the one that the green economy will bring if it is forced on us before the technologies are refined…  And in all instances Carbon taxes are a bad idea as they are not at all as advertised, they only hinder the economy and do nothing to curb carbon usage.  They do however redistribute global wealth, as well as create multi billion dollare bank accounts for the chosen few.

     Wallace left the party because he hated Democrats passing the Civil Rights Actand ran against it in 1968. You might have missed that one. The GOP spent the next 43 years trying to welcome his followers in.

    As for Byrd – what he did was bad, at least he apologized and made efforts to make amends. Even bec ame a voice for tolerance in his later years – calling for the repeal of DADT.

    Something that Republican racists like Strom “I’ll refuse to acknowledge my black love child” Thurmond and Jesse “defend the white man” Helms never did. They remained proudly unapologetic and took their bigotry to the grave with them. And the GOP loved them for it.

    I never realized the extent of the hatred rightwingers have for Al Gore.Of course,there’s no such thing as global warming. Certainly our burning most of the earth’s fossil fuels in the past hundred and fifty years would have nothing to do with climate change, nor would the expertise of virtually ever major scientist in this field ever persuade you reactionaries otherwise. And, of course, Al would have invaded the Middle East and destroyed an entire country and took away every vestige of protection from the Wall St predators. I’m thinking of helping to form a 12 Step program for recovering rightwingers.Yes, there is a ‘higher power’ in all of us and it would be great if more people could learn how to tap into it.

    Seems as if Mr. Al Gore should know a thing or two about racists, afterall. But he is a liberal, so all the liberal lemmings will defend him no matter what.

    The complete list of the 21 Democrats who opposed the Civil Rights Act
    of 1964 includes Senators:

    - Hill and Sparkman of Alabama
    - Fulbright and McClellan of Arkansas
    - Holland and Smathers of Florida
    - Russell and Talmadge of Georgia
    - Ellender and Long of Louisiana
    - Eastland and Stennis of Mississippi
    - Ervin and Jordan of North Carolina
    - Johnston and Thurmond of South Carolina
    - Gore Sr. and Walters of Tennessee
    - H. Byrd and Robertson of Virginia
    - R. Byrd of West Virginia

    Democrat opposition to the Civil Rights Act was substantial enough to
    literally split the party in two. A whopping 40% of the House Democrats
    VOTED AGAINST the Civil Rights Act, while 80% of Republicans SUPPORTED
    it. Republican support in the Senate was even higher. Similar trends occurred
    with the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which was supported by 82% of House
    Republicans and 94% of Senate Republicans. The same Democrat standard bearers
    took their normal racists stances, this time with Senator Fulbright leading
    the opposition effort.

    I don’t think the majority of “global warming deniers” are saying there is no global warming at all. Neither do I think they “deny” that mankind has influenced that warming to some degree. That, to me, is the big lie in this argument. Gore and the rest of the alarmists have fabricated their army of “global warming deniers” in order to further their agendas. Good people who are genuinely concerned about the environment have been duped by the shameless Al Gore into believing his “deniers” line.
    The argument is that cap and trade or sinking untold billions into
    fictional fixes by force of the government is a fraudulent enterprise
    promoted by alarmists. Free enterprise can be trusted far more than
    government to come up with solutions without robbing the population by
    force.
    If anything, the Al Gore deniers and common sense are really his biggest threat, not global warming deniers.

    Southern Republicans: 0–10   (0%–100%)Northern Democrats: 145-9   (94%–6%)
    Northern Republicans: 138-24   (85%–15%)The Senate version:Southern Democrats: 1–20   (5%–95%)
    Southern Republicans: 0–1   (0%–100%)
    Northern Democrats: 45-1   (98%–2%)
    Northern Republicans: 27-5   (84%–16%)As you can see even under your foolish theory a larger percentage of southern dems voted than southern republicans. As a matter of fact not one southern republican voted for the bill in the house or senate. A larger percentage of northern democrats voted for the bill. Then as you have failed to mention most of the democrats in the south turned republican.The bill divided and engendered a long-term change in the demographics of both parties. President Johnson realized that supporting this bill would risk losing the South’s overwhelming support of the Democratic Party. Both Attorney General Robert Kennedy and Vice President Johnson had pushed for the introduction of the civil rights legislation. Johnson told Kennedy aide Ted Sorensen that “I know the risks are great and we might lose the South, but those sorts of states may be lost anyway.”[25] Senator Richard Russell, Jr. warned President Johnson that his strong support for the civil rights bill “will not only cost you the South, it will cost you the election.”[26] Johnson, however, went on to win the 1964 election by one of the biggest landslides in American history. The South, which had started to vote increasingly Republican beginning in the 1930s, continued that trend, becoming the stronghold of the Republican party by the 1990s.[2

    “Divorce the politics from the Science and things will go a lot better.” Yes yes yes!  And we can stop calling each other names and getting no where.
    China is sucking down fossil fuels faster than they can produce/buy them. Most of their attempts at becoming “green” are window dressing. We can’t compete and it’s not China’s fault. We have trashed our own economy through greed. If we are willing to sell our souls to compete with China, that is not a US I want to be a part of.

    The common, everyday person would do what they can for the environment as long as they can still get cheap food, cheap fuel, cheap stuff. Only the wealthy can afford to be “green”.

    One thing that has always baffled me in this debate and im a liberal is this. Even if there is man made warming and im willing to accept that there is a problem. We can sit back and pontificate about this or acknowledge that its true. But then what? One thing that annoys me about my side is they have no concept on how this world is developing and that there is a huge hunger for fossil fuels in the developing world. China and India are not going to stop developing and requiring massive amounts of fossil fuels to do so. So even if we cut back some and western europe cuts back some its not going to cause other countries to do so. Now if in the future there is a fuel source that is non polluting comes up that can help them expand their economies then thats great. But for the near future there is none. And the conservatives argument on this topic although ignorant at times and dismissive is not really wrong. They may deny global warming but in reality I think they are just being more realistic than our side is on this. Every single second on this earth countries demand for fossil fuels continue to grow. After we developed our infrastructure or western europe develops their infrastructure its easy for us to sit back and stick our noses up at third world countries who want to have an infrastructure like ours or Europes. China, India,Vietnam,Indoneshia, eastern europe,russia, south america and so on do not care that we want to drive electric cars or use solar panels at this point in their development. They want to grow their economies and feed their people the same way we do. In the long term they may switch but its going to be a long slow and dirty process.

    http://www.nationalcenter.org/P21NVDavisGore599.html.
    Mr. Robert KKK (sheets) Byrd gave the longest filibuster in American history AGAINST the civil rights act of ’64.

    Said Mr. Sheets: I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side … Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory
    trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land
    of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest
    specimen from the wilds. — Robert C. Byrd, in a letter to Sen. Theodore Bilbo (D-MS), 1944.

     Are you trying to get me to admit that some democrats who stayed democrats were racist? Well if thats what you wish I will grant you that. But don’t sit here and tell me the the democrats as a whole are. Even more so now. Most of the dixiecrats  became republicans within 10 years of the civil rights act being signed. As you can see with your boy Strum Thrurmond up on your list. The south went republican after this and has remained so ever since. The facts are this. The democrats had control of all three branches of government in 1964 and passed the civil rights act. Thats a fact. And they had massive control. After this bill the democrats in the south turned republican the main reason being they were pissed off that the civil rights bill had been passed. NONE of the southern republicans voted for the civil rights bill not one. The south opposed this bill across all political parties. To try and simplify things as you have is amateur and irresponsible. Truman a democrat integrated the military. Eisenhower a republican was a force for civil rights. But it took the democrats to get it done,even if the democrats and the republicans in the south opposed it. More democrats voted for the bill period. Yu cannot argue these facts but jump on the revisionist train which is not only ignorant but foolish.

      In his remarks
    upon signing the Civil Rights Act, President Lyndon Johnson praised Republicans
    for their “overwhelming majority.” He did not offer similar praise to
    his own Democratic Party. Moreover, Senate Minority Leader Everett Dirksen, an
    Illinois Republican, collaborated with the White House and the Senate leadership
    of both parties to draft acceptable compromise amendments to end the southern
    Democrats’ filibuster of the Act. It was Dirksen who often took to the Senate
    floor to declare, “This is an idea whose time has come. It will not be
    denied.” Dirksen’s greatest triumph earned him the Leadership Conference of
    Civil Rights Award, presented by then-NAACP Chairman Roy Wilkins, for his
    remarkable civil rights leadership.

        Inform yourself,
    so you can learn for yourself about this important historical event. All
    official records about the Civil Rights Act can be found in the June 1964 issues
    of Congressional Quarterly.

        Al Gore, Sr. did
    not stop at simply voting against the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In addition,
    Congressional Quarterly reported that Gore attempted to send the Act to the
    Senate Judiciary Committee with an amendment to say “in defiance of a court
    desegregation order, federal funds could not be held from any school
    districts.” Gore sought to take the teeth out of the Act in the event it
    passed.

        Ostensibly,
    Senator Gore was “elated” at the idea of young Al, Jr. going to school
    with black children. In reality, however, the future vice president attended an
    elite private school.

        In the end, the
    Gore Amendment was defeated by a vote of 74-25. Senator J. William Fulbright of
    Arkansas, one of President Bill Clinton’s political mentors, was among the 23
    southern Democratic senators and only one Republican voting with Gore for this
    racist amendment.

    You’re trying to say that changing parties makes you suddenly not racist??? LOL. Of course you are. Anything to support liberal garbage.

    Nicely put Seek. The more absurd their commentary (like Gore) the more credible their opposition looks too.
    Lizton’s; “the anti-education, anti-science teabagger illiterates who want to establish a Jesus theocracy in America.” is so ridiculous that whatever the other side has said will sound reasonable by comparison.

    In the 1968 election, the Republican candidate, Richard Nixon, saw this trend and capitalized on it with his “Southern strategy.” The new method of campaigning was designed to appeal to white Southerners who were more conservative than the national Democratic Party. As a result of the strategy, the Democratic candidate, Hubert Humphrey, was almost shut out in the South; he only carried Texas. The rest of the region was divided between Nixon and the American Independent Party candidate George C. Wallace, the governor of Alabama, who had gained fame for opposing integration. Nationwide, Nixon won a decisive Electoral College victory, although he received only a plurality of the popular vote.

    How about you get off your lazy *ss and research it yourself?

    That’s the entire Southern Democratic Senatoral caucus.  The left’s lying narrative is that southern racist voters flipped to the (R)epublicans following the Civil Rights Act of 1964.  That didn’t happen.  As you can see above, with very few exceptions, seats continued to be held by Democrats well into the seventies, most into the eighties.  There’s no point in researching the northern democrats since that’s not part of the narrative.

    Your version of history is a lie.

Large corporations are bottom line, shareholder driven. They will do the minimum that they can get away with. (my creds are 30+ years with the third largest corp in the country.) I see it all the time. Every project requires a payout. The only thing that keeps corps honest is publicity, shining the light on them. 

    Just read some of the comments. Basically, global warming is a myth and now my mind is slamming shut to any other possibilities. I am curious as to what research is ongoing and who is funding it?

    My version of history is not a lie lol. The south turned republican. The civil rights bill was passed under the democrats who had a majority in the house,senate, and held the oval office! No southern republicans voted for the bill period! A higher percentage of both the southern democrats and northern democrats voted off the bill! These are facts they are not lies. That did happen NIXON won the south with Wallace on his tail in 1968. A republican hadn’t won the south in ages up until Nixon. It didn’t take long my friend and with the exception of Jimmy Carter in 1976 the south has been in the republicans back pocket ever since.

    Back when Gore was active in politics, he was considered something of a blockhead. With the passage of years and the dumbing down of our society as the old breed with common sense has died off, Gore has morphed into a Nobel winning scientist even though he is just as stupid as ever.

    Treating one side of a debate as if it represents a type of racism that should be censored is proof of Gore’s further descent into stupidity. I’m trying to imagine scientific academic journals where one theorist is treated like the KKK and another like a Jew-hater and another like little black Sambo and I actually CAN imagine it because I have this story right in front of me to read.

    These morons have done this with every important policy debate there is from immigration to education to policing the streets. “Racist, racist, racist” and now they’re trying, and proudly trumpeting the fact, to cross that over to science. To say liberals are, generally speaking, a group of unflinching morons would be a compliment in that it wouldn’t point out the fact that they are also insane.

    In truth, with policy debate shouted down by politically correct morons intent on transporting the failed overflow of failed Third World nations to America, I’d say you can kiss this country good-bye. If you think we’re going to somehow recapture the glamor of our golden age with 100 million people coming straight off the donkey of the Third World while being led by the peculiar world view of the Rainbow Coalition whose policies have infiltrated down to the bedrock of our schools, art and mass media, you are mistaken.

    I’m just saying that we are spending too much time arguing about Al Gore and “global warming”. How about some constructive ideas. Enough vitriol.

    You realize that I replied to your question asking “who’s arguing that there is no separation between church and state?”

    She´s completely wrong and spits on the work of the Founding Fathers.

    So if I accept the ludicrous assumptions that there is no separation of church and state feel free to show me the parts of the Constitution where the Church is included in the State.

    Something like The French Estates General or the Estates of the Realm. You know where the church was indeed part of the state.

    40 years ago there was no prediction of an ice age that would happen soon. That´s factually wrong. It´s a lie.

    http://www.wmconnolley.org.uk/sci/iceage/

    If you are around in 20,000 years you can take on the scientists for making the prediction of a new ice age.

    The science is settled in so far that something that was predicted at the end of the 19th century was confirmed throughout the 20th century with empirical data and changed the position in the scientific community to the status quo where the vast majority of scientists in this field are in agreement. The key role of CO2 for climate change is acknowledged and confirmed till someone is able to disprove it.

    You aren´t saying chemicals in very small doses compared to the total volume can´t have an effect, are you?

    Regardless of AGW, oil prices will go further up because it´s highly demanded commodity around the globe and it is obviously not available forever.

    The country is on the path to become a 3rd world country because it has little to offer to compete with highly sophisticated societies that generate well paid jobs for highly qualified workers. Not retail or fast food.

    Others are already far ahead in green technologies and securing a great position for themselves by reducing the dependency on oil and by the ability to export know-how and green products.

    In 5-10 years from now the big whining will start when Germany, China, Japan and others will dominate the world economy with their top notch, energy efficient products.
    They aren´t waiting for us to get it…and we will have Wal-Mart where we can buy it.

    This is a stupid debate and has turned into a troll fest of immense proportions. When did this become political?  Was it when corporations thought they were going to loose millions of dollars or when government found out it could make millions in tax revenue?  I don’t know and I don’t care.  Why don’t we do this…

    Let stop with the apocolyptic talk on both ends.  The enviromentalist need to stop say we are killing earth or ourselves and the corperations need to stop saying they will be ruined and loose all their money.  Life and capitalism are very similar in that they always find a way to survive.  Once that’s out of the way, lets just try not to make a mess.  We DO cause too much waste, we DO use too much fossil fuel, and we DO pump god knows what into god knows where.  Lets try to stop companies from dumping toxic waste in rivers and streams.  Lets make sure when companies extract natural gas, the local citizens water faucets don’t catch fire.  Lets make nice parks and preserve some (not ALL, who is to say this is not what nature intended?) of the wonderous land and life that this world has to offer. Maybe if we all could do that, this stupid debate will go away.

    It is time to stop claiming that the “climate change” hoax is real. The evidence is in and almost all the data used in previous studies, cited by the tree huggers that write to this paper, have all been proven to have been doctored or manipulated.
     
    NASA just released a study that proved that temperatures’ have not risen in 16 years.

    The loons claim that doubting there junk science is denying “science”. Did these folks believe these same “climatologists” when in the 70’s they told us there was a coming “Ice Age”? I didn’t believe them. I was right and they were wrong.
     
    Do these folks believe the computer models that tell us what the temperature will be ten days from now? I don’t believe those predictions and they make them everyday on the weather forecast and they are always wrong.
     
    Climate prediction is not an “exact” science. We should not spend billions of dollars on “tree hugger” science.
     
     The hoax is used to stop oil drilling and the mining of coal and to extract money from the United States to give to countries that hate us. Do not believe anyone that writes to this paper citing old data that has been proven to be doctored.

    I think the concept is that China is aware that their rapid growth is creating huge environmental problems for them. My Nephew was over there on a business trip and said if you were outside in certain areas for a while you’d find a form of soot on your clothes that was in the air.
    China wants to continue to grow but doesn’t want to keep creating new environmental problems.  The next frontier in technology will be clean energy and clean manufacturing. Yes it will be a long process but step one seems to be to acknowledge that that’s where we’re heading. There’s concern that the deniers will hold the US back from being at the forefront of that technology.
    Obviously we won’t stop using fossil fuels in the next couple of years but we do need to invest in the research that will lead us away from them a decade or two from now.

    I disagree with Al Gore on this, although he’s on the right track.

    There is a moral component to climate change that is relevant, but the analogy is much better kept in the realm of science.  The problem is denialism, an anti-scientific disposition that many people have.  People don’t like scientific information, or they have some reason, such as firmly established beliefs, to not accept the facts of science.

    The better analogy for climate change denialism is evolution.  Because of deeply held, ancient beliefs, many people refuse to accept the overwhelming scientific evidence that humans evolved over many millions of years from little monkeys that survived the event that wiped out the dinosaurs. 

    I don’t have any data to back up this suspicion, but I suspect that there is a greater overlap between deniers of evolution and deniers of anthropomorphic global warming (AGW) than there is between deniers of racial equality and the deniers of AGW.

    While there is disagreement on how serious Global Warming is and some of the details the agreement that it is a scientific fact is stronger than any denial.

    To be clear, we’re not saying that no scientists — as in zero —
    dispute climate change is caused by human activity.  We looked into the
    work of the most prominent and best credentialed people who have
    questioned the IPCC’s conclusions on global warming. Generally speaking,
    even these scientists do not claim
    that humans are making no contribution at all to rising temperatures.
    Rather, they tend to make more nuanced points. They question whether
    carbon emissions alone are driving up temperatures, or whether other human activities contribute
    as well. They question whether extreme weather events such as storms or
    floods can be conclusively linked to rising temperatures. And, they
    question whether significant changes to public policy are necessary as a means of coping with rising temperatures.

    Well, I didn’t say the planet wasn’t warming, did I? I also didn’t say that human beings weren’t contributing to it. I didn’t say we should ignore the environment.
    That misdirects and avoids the real argument, as Al Gore would have you to do. That obfuscation with your help is exactly what he is counting on to win the day.
    The argument is that this has taken a basically good cause and transformed it into a scam to increase the oppressive scope of government control, increase taxation and filling Al Gore’s bank accounts through the process. People are “denying” that Al Gore’s plans are the way to go, not so much the warming of the planet.
    Gore is one of those “fat cats” just like the ones everybody screams about. For the life of me, I can’t see how he has gained this much support.

    Gore presents a pretty odd view. Rather he should have clearly pointed out that the most dramatic effects of global warming are felt by the population on other continents like currently in Somalia.

  • OHIO GAL

    That’s rich Al, coming from YOU:

    “It is easy to control the minds of a people. All one has to do is change history by lying about the past. This is exactly what has happened with the legacy of former Democratic U.S. Senator Al Gore, Sr. of Tennessee – the father of our current vice president – and his mythical “support” of civil rights.

    In a recent speech to the NAACP, Vice President Gore said his father lost his Senate seat because he supported civil rights legislation. Fellow bIack Americans, let me set history straight. Al Gore, Sr., together with the rest of the southern Democrats, voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

    Congressional Quarterly reported that, in the House of Representatives, 61% of Democrats (152 for, 96 against) voted for the Civil Rights Act as opposed to 80% of Republicans (138 for, 38 against). In the Senate, 69% of Democrats (46 for, 21 against) voted for the Act while 82% of Republicans did (27 for, 6 against). All southern Democrats voted against the Act.

    Al Gore, Sr. did not stop at simply voting against the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In addition, Congressional Quarterly reported that Gore attempted to send the Act to the Senate Judiciary Committee with an amendment to say “in defiance of a court desegregation order, federal funds could not be held from any school districts.” Gore sought to take the teeth out of the Act in the event it passed.

    Ostensibly, Senator Gore was “elated” at the idea of young Al, Jr. going to school with bIack children. In reality, however, the future vice president attended an elite private school.

    In the end, the Gore Amendment was defeated by a vote of 74-25. Senator J. William Fulbright of Arkansas, one of President Bill Clinton’s political mentors, was among the 23 southern Democratic senators and only one Republican voting with Gore for this racist amendment.”

    If global warming advocates weren’t so alarmist, like in “An Inconvenient Truth” which predicted dire floding and mega-storms by now, maybe more people would take their arguments seriously.  Perhaps if there weren’t a failed ”carbon exchange”, coincidentally partially owned by Al Gore,  where junk science was to be used to justify extracting money from companies for ”carbon credits” then people wouldn’t be so suspicious of “global warming” strategically rebranded as “climate change”.  To whom were the “carbon traders” going to give the ”credits” they extracted from legitimate businesses?  Answer:  Their buddies.  Big government insiders like Al Gore.  Friends of insiders would get breaks and allowances, critics would have to pay.  Thank goodness “climategate” happened to help quash the “global warming” a.k.a. “climate change” propaganda.  Hey Al, where are the mega storms?  Irene certainly doesn’t qualify, it was no worse than Gloria or Bob.  Why isn’t Bangladesh completely underwater yet?

    People like Gore are one symptom of the bigger problem that liberals find themselves in. You can only claim that the sky is falling so many times before people completely disengage. As liberals are all too aware, and in fact count on, is that people have very short memories, so it should come as no shock to them that people are moving on to more important issues. Despite being bombarded by doomsday rhetoric, we’re still here the oceans are the same level, and polar bears still frolic on the ice. Most people have no doubt that the climate is in continuous flux, how much of it is man-made is still open for debate, but many people see the “green” movement for what it is, simply a way to usurp more power from the masses and send it to the ruling elite. Politicians are not scientists, and when politicians want to rush everyone into something before they’ve had a chance to figure it out, something’s up, and it’s almost always not good.

    A German Energy Agency study released in February 2005 after some delay [click here] stated that increasing the amount of wind power
    would increase consumer costs 3.7 times more than otherwise and that the
    theoretical reduction of greenhouse gas emissions could be achieved much more
    cheaply by simply installing filters on existing fossil-fuel plants. A similar
    conclusion was made by the Irish grid manager in a study released in February
    2004 [click here for 172-KB PDF]: “The cost of CO2 abatement arising from using large levels of wind
    energy penetration appears high relative to other alternatives.” In
    Germany, utilities are forced to buy renewable energy at sometimes more than 10
    times the cost of conventional power, in France 3 times. In the U.K., the
    Telegraph has reported that rather than providing cheaper energy, wind
    power costs the electric companies £50 per megawatt-hour, compared to £15 for
    conventional power. The
    wind industry is worried that the U.K., too, is starting to see that it is only
    subsidies and requirements on utilities to buy a certain amount of “green” power
    that prop up the wind towers and that it is a colossal waste of resources. The
    BWEA has even resorted to threatening prominent opponents as more projects are
    successfully blocked. Interestingly, long-term plans for energy use and
    emissions reduction by both the U.K. and the U.S. governments do not mention
    wind [click here for more about this (the article is in Spanish)].
    Flemming Nissen, head of development at the Danish utility Elsam, told a meeting
    in Copenhagen, May 27, 2004, “Increased development of wind turbines does not
    reduce Danish CO2 emissions.”

I’m not at all opposed to being a good steward of the Earth, provided we don’t have to drastically change the way we do things. A smooth transition to cleaner energy is a desirable thing, most people would agree, but the sky-is-falling rhetoric for political purposes is what turns people off. The Earth itself pumps way more greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere than we do, and lots of people recognize that this doesn’t need to be done overnight and at such a high cost to citizens’ personal freedoms.

    Actually, no it is not a lie. I was in school 40 years ago and learned it then. Where were you 40 years ago when this was being taught in schools?

    From Wikipedia

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_age

    In 1795, the Scottish philosopher and gentleman naturalist, James Hutton (1726–1797), explained erratic boulders in the Alps with the action of glaciers. Two decades later, in 1818, the Swedish botanist Göran Wahlenberg
    (1780–1851) published his theory of a glaciation of the Scandinavian
    peninsula. He regarded glaciation as a regional phenomenon. Only a few years later, the Danish-Norwegian Geologist Jens Esmark
    (1763–1839) argued a sequence of worldwide ice ages. In a paper
    published in 1824, Esmark proposed changes in climate as the cause of
    those glaciations. He attempted to show that they originated from
    changes in the Earth’s orbit.
    During the following years, Esmark’s ideas were discussed and taken
    over in parts by Swedish, Scottish and German scientists. At the
    University of Edinburgh Robert Jameson
    (1774–1854) seemed to be relatively open towards Esmark’s ideas.
    Jameson’s remarks about ancient glaciers in Scotland were most probably
    prompted by Esmark.
    In Germany, Albrecht Reinhard Bernhardi (1797–1849), professor of
    forestry at Dreissigacker, adopted Esmark’s theory. In a paper published
    in 1832, Bernhardi speculated about former polar ice caps reaching as
    far as the temperate zones of the globe.
    Independently of these debates, the Swiss civil engineer Ignaz Venetz
    (1788–1859) in 1829, explained the dispersal of erratic boulders in the
    Alps, the nearby Jura Mountains and the North German Plain as being due
    to huge glaciers. When he read his paper before the Schweizerische
    Naturforschende Gesellschaft, most scientists remained sceptical.
    Finally, Venetz managed to convince his friend Jean de Charpentier. De
    Charpentier transformed Venetz’s idea into a theory with a glaciation
    limited to the Alps. His thoughts resembled Wahlenberg’s theory. In
    fact, both men shared the same volcanistic, or in de Charpentier’s case
    rather plutonistic
    assumptions, about earth history. In 1834, de Charpentier presented his
    paper before the Schweizerische Naturforschende Gesellschaft. In the meantime, the German botanist Karl Friedrich Schimper
    (1803–1867) was studying mosses which were growing on erratic boulders
    in the alpine upland of Bavaria. He began to wonder where such masses of
    stone had come from. During the summer of 1835 he made some excursions
    to the Bavarian Alps. Schimper came to the conclusion that ice must have
    been the means of transport for the boulders in the alpine upland. In
    the winter of 1835 to 1836 he held some lectures in Munich. Schimper
    then assumed that there must have been global times of obliteration
    (“Verödungszeiten“) with a cold climate and frozen water. Schimper spent the summer months of 1836 at Devens, near Bex, in the Swiss Alps with his former university friend Louis Agassiz
    (1801–1873) and Jean de Charpentier. Schimper, de Charpentier and
    possibly Venetz convinced Agassiz that there had been a time of
    glaciation. During Winter 1836/7 Agassiz and Schimper developed the
    theory of a sequence of glaciations. They mainly drew upon the preceding
    works of Goethe,
    of Venetz, of de Charpentier and on their own fieldwork. There are
    indications that Agassiz was already familiar with Bernhardi’s paper at
    that time. At the beginning of 1837 Schimper coined the term ice age (“Eiszeit“).
    In July 1837 Agassiz presented their synthesis before the annual
    meeting of the Schweizerische Naturforschende Gesellschaft at Neuchâtel.
    The audience was very critical or even opposed the new theory because
    it contradicted the established opinions on climatic history. Most
    contemporary scientists thought that the earth had been gradually
    cooling down since its birth as a molten globe.

    In order to overcome this rejection, Agassiz embarked on geological fieldwork. He published his book Study on glaciers (“Études sur les glaciers”) in 1840.
    De Charpentier was put out by this as he had also been preparing a book
    about the glaciation of the Alps. De Charpentier felt that Agassiz
    should have given him precedence as it was he who had introduced Agassiz
    to in depth glacial research. Besides that, Agassiz had, as a result of personal quarrels, omitted any mention of Schimper in his book.

    Altogether, it took several decades until the ice age theory was
    fully accepted. This happened on an international scale in the second
    half of the 1870s following the work of James Croll including the publication of Climate and Time, in Their Geological Relations in 1875 which provided a credible explanation for the causes of ice ages.

    So, since 1875 this has been the subject of study by science and it has been accepted teaching in Geology and earth science classes for MORE THAN 135 YEARS. You can read all about it on the internet, (which Al Gore did not invent).

    dood, it’s easier to provide renewable energy if the population and the country is small. I could increase my renewable energy figures to 50% from 40% if I didn’t have a much better use for my money.

    I’ve been to Germany , in fact I lived there for over 5 years. Not everyone is in favor of the tanking economy and the heavy taxes to promote renewable energy.

     Yep Cosmo China is a dirty place and this is not a good thing. But we were a dirty place at one time to. My father can tell you stories in the 40s and 50s living in pittsburgh. He use to come home with soot in his hair and all over his clothes. The steel mills ran 24-7 pumping out massive amounts of smoke. People burned coal for heating fuel in stoves. The rivers were filled with crap and fish couldn’t live. But we figured out that this isn’t a good thing and government,business and the people cleaned things up. Although a lot of industrial jobs were lost as well. China is where we were 50 years ago, actually more like 100 years ago. No unions no regulations ect. This is probably not a good thing but its going to be up to them to change and like any society they will. But things still need to be produced to keep economies going so these polluting industries will move somewhere else. You cannot run a steel mill on solar or wind electricity. And steel or aluminum needs to be produced in large quantities for this world we live in. Renewable energy is a nice little thought and im all for it. But people on the left and environmentalist in general are either clueless about the amount of energy this world consumes or just leaving out the facts. I think its a bit of both. Emerging economies have no time to sit around and think about the future of global warming. Those people want a car and a house like we have.

    Uncertain on comparing  climate change skeptics to racists.  I think that’s comparing apples and oranges.  Certainly racism , ie bigotry, predjudice is wrong.  But bad or lousy science is not the same as being racist.  That being said each are equally pigheaded.  If Al Gore meant racists deny the fact that races are equal to the fact that climate change skeptics deny climate change than I can see the comparison.

    I *am* German and lived there for more than 30 years of my life. And I can tell you from personal experience that renewable energy is widely supported. The article states the same. Most people are even willing to pay a little more to get off of fossil fuels.

    i do agree however that it’s easier for a small country to make the energy shift. Then again, if just a fraction of the money that the US spends on wars and tax cuts would be invested to push renewable energies, it could easily dominate that field. But it doesn’t because the republican branded renewable energy and climate change as something liberal. Pathetic!

    Unsere Meinungen und die Meinungen der Leute die ich kenne in Deutschland unterscheiden. Ich bin nicht so gut mit der deutschen Sprache so entschuldigen Sie eventuelle Fehler. Dialekte unterscheiden sich so sehr aus dem Norden in den Süden. Ich muss mich auf einen Übersetzer angewiesen, um mit meinem Deutsch helfen.

    We only have 11% of our energy needs produced by renewable energy sources. That’s a high estimate, in reality it is about 9 %.

    Republicans aren’t against renewable energy. That’s a fallacy. It’s too expensive and the country is broke. We are also in an economic downturn that will test the the Nations existence.

    We can’t afford the Trillions of dollars that it will take to increase that percentage to a minimum of 20%. The technology isn’t there, the expense is too great and it has proven not to be a job producer.

    We can’t afford the non existent economy that Germany now has right now.

    We’re in survival mode at 1% growth and green energy isn’t going to help that now will additional taxes to payfor it.

    the anti war sentiment is great but it’s just not in the cards. is it. We’re stuck with what we have and we need to focus our energies (pun attended) in a more productive direction right now.

    My version of history is not a lie lol. The south turned republican. The
    civil rights bill was passed under the democrats who had a majority in
    the house,senate, and held the oval office! No southern republicans
    voted for the bill period! A higher percentage of both the southern
    democrats and northern democrats voted off the bill! These are facts
    they are not lies. That did happen NIXON won the south with Wallace on
    his tail in 1968. A republican hadn’t won the south in ages up until
    Nixon. It didn’t take long my friend and with the exception of Jimmy
    Carter in 1976 the south has been in the republicans back pocket ever
    since.

    Not only is your version of history a lie, it’s evident in you rationalizations that you know your version of history is a lie, and that you’re so wording your sentence to avoid having to admit the validity of
    NDanielson’s correct point, that a greater
    percentage of Republicans voted for the bill than Democrats.  Take this sentence, for example.

    A higher percentage of both the southern
    democrats and northern democrats voted off the bill!

    This is what’s called ‘fun with statistics.’  It’s more correct, and more representative, to note that, as a party, Republicans voted for CRA by a larger percentage than did Democrats.  In order to come to the statement you have, you’re forced to break the vote up by region so that the relative values given to each is skewed.  That’s how your 21 southern Democrats, 20 of which voted against the act, outweighs by percentage 1 whole southern Republican senator to make it appear as if there was more support in the Democratic party.  Far from that, there was no Republican representation that could avoid statistical irrelevancy by which to judge.  Democrats, by a large margin, represented the south.

    Similarly, that huge percentage of Democrat “no” votes, separated again by regionalism, is withdrawn from another percentage total to skew the northern count in favor of Democrats. 

    The only salient point that should bear noting is that the CRA, as the Democrat caucus was split, could not possibly have passed without Republican support, and that that support, by a significant margin representative of the north, enabled passage.

    This entire line of inquiry was predicated on your assertion…
    <How many stayed with the democrats after this vote sir? Do not rewrite history.
    As I’ve shown above, every one but 1.  Your assertion in support of your version was specifically disproved.  Democrats voters didn’t flip to Republicans based on their CRA votes.  You’re politicized version of history is a progressive lie.

    “lol, no” isn’t a counter argument, nor is a reassertion of a lie.

    The space program began under President Eisenhower.  Man lands on the moon under president Nixon.  President Bush refocuses the space program on landing a man back on the moon with the ultimate goal of going to mars.  Obama cancels the return to the moon ending manned space flight for the United states.  http://www.politico.com/click/stories/1004/armstong_obama_hurting_space.html 

    Former astronaut Neil Armstrong has issued a strongly worded rebuke
    of President Barack Obama, criticizing the president for proposed
    revisions to the U.S.’ space program.

    Armstrong, along with astronauts James Lovell and Eugene Cernan, called
    the proposal “devastating” in a letter obtained by NBC News. Read below
    for the full text:

    “The United States entered into the challenge of space exploration
    under President Eisenhower’s first term, however, it was the Soviet
    Union who excelled in those early years,” the letter begins.”Under the
    bold vision of Presidents Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon, and with the
    overwhelming approval of the American people, we rapidly closed the gap
    in the final third of the 20th century, and became the world leader in
    space exploration. …

    “When President Obama recently released his budget for NASA, he
    proposed a slight increase in total funding, substantial research and
    technology development, an extension of the International Space Station
    operation until 2020, long range planning for a new but undefined heavy
    lift rocket and significant funding for the development of commercial
    access to low earth orbit.

    “Although some of these proposals have merit, the accompanying decision
    to cancel the Constellation program, its Ares 1 and Ares V rockets, and
    the Orion spacecraft, is devastating.

    “America’s only path to low Earth orbit and the International Space
    Station will now be subject to an agreement with Russia to purchase
    space on their Soyuz (at a price of over 50 million dollars per seat
    with significant increases expected in the near future)

     Ok dude Im obviously not going to convince you and I truly don’t care. If somehow in your warped mind you think that democrats are more racist than republicans that your opinion. I will leave you with this which you cannot refute. The CIVIL RIGHTS BILL was passed while the democrats had a majority in the house and the senate and held the presidency. You can try and screw with statistics anyway you want. But this is reality. Ive shown you the the south as a whole was racist both democrats and republicans. And you know what? The south is still the most racist part of the country and it is controlled by republicans. You come up with excuses to why 90% of the congressman and senate  who voted against MLK day were republicans but thats what you have excuses. Jesse Helms fought it tooth and nail as did Mccain and many others. You know the history. You know King supported Kennedy and Johnson. 0% and I don’t care how many southern republicans there were 0% all 11 of them voted against the civil rights bill. What makes you think it would have been any different had there been 100 republicans in the south? You are obsessed with re writing history and giving credit to republicans for the civil rights act. But they controlled nothing at the time. They helped I will give you that but they were not the party in power when it passed. And you cant rewrite that.

    You are obsessed with re writing history and giving credit to
    republicans for the civil rights act. But they controlled nothing at the
    time. They helped I will give you that but they were not the party in
    power when it passed. And you cant rewrite that.

    I’m not attempting to.  I’m asserting, correctly, in pursuance of other points, that as a congressional minority, their votes were unnecessary for passage (they represented only 41% of the house & had 33 members in a filibusterer proof senate), yet, as it turned out, were indeed critical for passage.

    What makes you think it would have been any different
    had there been 100 republicans in the south?

    Of course, that was nowhere near the case, as has been my point (one of
    several).  The Republican south, an insignificant caucus, wasn’t
    representative of the party on any level.

    You know King supported Kennedy and Johnson.

    I know that MLK, Sr was a lifelong republican and supported Richard Nixon in 1960 until Bobby Kennedy used his influence to spring his son from jail, that MLK Jr. has long been rumored to have been a Republican himself and that Jr. and the Kennedy’s were often at loggerheads in the civil rights movement.  I don’t have a comic book recall of history, I credit the whole thing – just not that which are simplistic partisan lies.

    Case in point.  No source on the Southern Strategy that credits the authors makes mention of an appeal to southern racism.  They were content to allow Wallace to secure that portion of the vote while they focused on “a foundation of states rights, human rights, small government and a strong national defense” – fiscal conservatives and folks disenchanted with Johnson’s Vietnam policy and the rising counter movement of pacifism within the Democrat coalition.

  • insideguy

    Again Paleo after all that writing the democrats had control of the house, the senate, and the presidency by wide margins. To sit here and pick apart facts and act as if the republicans are somehow champions of civil rights is pathetic. Do you know how many black republicans there have been in congress in the modern era? 6 out of 106. This is since 1929 thats 5%. In almost 100 years the republicans have been represented by a black man 6 times. And two currently. The democrats have had 100 representative in the congress and the senate. These numbers do not lie on who the republicans represent in this day in age or even during the civil rights era. Im tired of this

    Victor,
    Supposing your right (which I highly doubt) how long will it take to replace Coal as a form of Electricity with renewable resources? Coal accounts 44.5% of the electricity production.
    (http://205.254.135.24/cneaf/electricity/epa/epa_sum.html )
    To much for you? How about replacing Natural Gas? It accounts for 23.3% of electricity
    production (Same source).
    Still to much to come up with? Try Nuclear, it accounts for 20.2% of Electricity production (Same source). 
    Now for renewable sources: Hydroelectric: 6.8%+Other renewable resources 3.6%=10.4% renewable sources.
    Where is Al Gore’s or your plan to grow that 10.4% to a level to replace the other 89.6% already being made?
    In my county and the adjoining county, they just installed 61 Wind turbines over an 12.5 mile ridge-line. At a cost of $250 MILLION, to generate power for 14,000 homes, about 14 MW. (Laurel Mountain Wind Farm)
    A coal power plant is was estimated to cost $2 Billion in 2008, providing 600 MW, or enough power for 600,000 homes. Huh, imagine that Coal power plants cost 10 times as much as a wind farm, takes up less
    area, and makes over 40 times the amount of electricity. I wonder why they have been the electricity power source of choice for over a hundred years.

    Victor,
    Uh…No. It recently cost $250 MILLION to build 61
    wind turbines in my county and its neighboring county. (Laurel Mountain Wind
    Farm) that will produce 14 MW. That is $17,857,142.86 per MW.
    A Coal plant was projected in 2008 to cost $2
    Billion for 600 MW or $3,333,333.33 per MW. http://www.synapse-energy.com/…
    Those are first year costs. It will take at
    least three years for the wind turbines to catch up. The Wind turbines cover
    2000 acres, not a very effective use of land.

    Yo FreeCommon Sense: A LexisNexis search reveals over 300 articles published in scientific journals during the late 60s and seventies supporting a global cooling theory. They argued that we were polluting the planet with “suspended particles” and these particles reflected back sunlight, hence heat back into space, thus cooling the planet. Was it a consensus back then? No, but many scientists believe that cooling was part of the earth’s future. Besides, science wasn’t as politicized back then and wasn’t determined by “consensus.” Here is some reading material for your perusal. I included an abstract with the first citation.

    Barrett, E. W., 1971: Depletion of short-wave irradiance
    at the ground by particles suspended in the atmosphere.
    Sol. Energy, 13, 323–337.

    Abstract
    Changes in concentration of those atmospheric constituents which contribute to the planetary albedo can give rise to climatic alterations. Suspended particles in the atmosphere contribute to the albedo by virtue of their light-scattering power. This paper presents a mathematical model of the effect of particulate loading on daily totals of irradiance at the ground at various latitudes and seasons, under the assumptions of: (a) Rayleigh scattering by the gaseous constituents of the atmosphere, and (b) Mie scattering by a uniform layer of polydisperse particles having a power-law size-distribution function. These computations show that substantial depletions of irradiance can result from moderate to heavy particulate loadings, and that an increase in man-made particulate emissions by a factor of 50 or more could give rise to a general cooling of serious magnitude.

    Global warming (man-made) is more political science than real science. CERN just released new data that confirms the cosmic rays of the sun are the actual cause of climate change, not just on earth but on the other planetary bodies in our solar system. The warming and cooling trends have coincided with our neighbor planet temperatures, yet there are no humans to blame out there. The most dramatic swings on our own planet like the ice age, all happened long before man could be blamed. Since climate change is now a religion, political movement and big business, the scientists who dare challenge the numbers get labeled as heretics or worse. That is not real science, that is propaganda.

    “The fracking in the SW and West has poisoned some of the drinking water and scared the terrain.”

    Well fracturing is used to open the casing on every well that produces oil. This is a very popular lie among the environmentalist crowd, but the strata bearing the oil heretofore inaccessible that fracking is being used for is much deeper than any aquifer. A popular myth but ignorant if you know what you are talking about which you do not. Did you also know that in order to frac a  well a string of explosive charges is used to puncture the well casing which is a solid walled concrete liner poured into the well to seal the hole from the surface to the bottom of the hole? Those charges are only placed where the oil is and the fracking process forces WATER into the newly punctured casing and out in to the oil bearing rock to pressurize the well, and upon the completion of that the oil is able to fill the casing and be pumped out of the well. You don’t know a damned thing about the process yet you feel your uninformed opinion is adequate to challenge known geological science? You just don’t know who to fight with or when to do it.

    “Scared terrain”? Really? Well why don’t you and some of your equally stupid friends go there and comfort that  frightened landscape?

    One thing is not the other – the Republicans can’t help that Dems in the modern era pander to blacks more than Republican do – they’re only responsible to themselves.  Republicans offered blacks prosperity under their philosophy of small, business friendly government and haven’t altered the message in order to play identity politics.  The Democrats offered them (as well as anyone else who signs up) addiction to handout and dependence on government programs – promising their 40 arcres and a mule.  de tocqeville always wins the future if a party is willing to give away the store for power.  Only they don’t tell the recipients the 40 acres are barren desert and the mule is lame.

    As to why blacks previous to the mid 60s were better represented in the Democratic party (even then, only by a handful – 6 pre 1964 CRA house members) is the result of several factors, not the least of which was that their communities were poor districts in Democratically controlled cities in love with New Deal politics – and that the route to power was through local party machinery.  It was never about race.

    But to label the Republican’s 80% support of 60s civil rights pathetic?  The support which made passage of the CRA possible?  Whatever, dude.  What I’m picking apart is the lying narrative the progressives have constructed over the last several decades in order to secure a voting block which results in attitudes such as you hold.  The Republican party is not and never has been racist, though racists have been and are a part of it.  The Democratic party is not racist but distinctly has been, and racists have been and are still a part of it.  Yet they get away with pointing fingers at the other guy.  You go away unconvinced, but then understand I haven’t only been talking to you (only at this point I might be).

     Again you are the one who has answers for all of the statistics. But I don’t have to defend. 90% republicans voted against MLK day. 100 african americans to 6 in congress, and arguably the biggest piece of legislation passed in the second half of the 20th century,passed by a government controlled by democrats. And the republicans win the south in 1968 4 years after the civil rights legislation is passed. You have reasons and excuses for all of these actions,but the republican track record speaks for itself. I would never say that there are no racist in the democratic party that would be foolish. If you cannot see a pattern here im not sure why you cant. But regardless of who you think is racist or who I think is racist the blacks in this country have made their choice on who THEY think represents them in the best way. You may disagree with this,the same way i would disagree that a republican represents some poor white guy living in a trailer with a confederate flag for drapes. But that poor white guy is convinced that the republicans have his best interest in mind. Its his decision to make. If he wants to vote on abortion rights and gun rights that his choice.

    You find it surprising Nixon won in ’68 and assign some special, racial significance to that, ignoring that Eisenhower won in ’52 and ’56 with some of those same states (and that Nixon also pulled southern states in ’60), oblivious to anything else that election might have also been about – most specifically Vietnam and the direction the country had been heading in under Democratic leadership.  Once more, Nixon won with 3 million votes less than he lost with in 1960 – only the Democrats received far less as well.  Every history of the period will tell you that the country’s political culture was imploding over the subject of the war.  These are facts, not excuses.  Yet for all this, you see only race.

    I’m specific on the matter of Nixon, and not Republican”s”, as you say, as I’ve already proved what you believe never happened, as least in regards to the Senate.  The crack of the Deep South’s New Deal majority in the house is represented from 88th (1963-1965) to 90th congresses (+87, 77 & 63 respectively)* – a change which happened before the supposedly nefarious “Southern Strategy.”  From the 91st (Nixon’s victory) to the 96th (+59 & 58) relative changeover was flat.  A grand total of 4 seat were gained in ’68.  Republicans didn’t start taking significant numbers of southern seats away from Democrats again until the 97th congress of 1981-83 (even then, the figure was merely reduced to +30).  Republican majorities in the south didn’t come about until the 104th congress with the 1994 Republican Revolution (from +32 in the 103rd to 4 more Rs than Ds after 4 party switches) – a full 30 years after the 1964 CRA.  What occasioned such a large switch?  A scandal in the house postal office (and the south’s rejection of the liberal policies of their favorite son, Bill Clinton).

    You’re were suggesting patterns earlier.  Notice one above?  Here it is: The elections of southern Democratic presidents occasion gains for Republicans as the south wearies of the eastern establishment liberalism those president favor.  That’s the actual track record.  More things go on in this country than your perceptions of racial politics.  If blacks care to stick with such failure in the future, it’s not going to be for the fact their adherence to progressive lies went unchallenged (by me, anyway).

    Any time a thinking person is confronted with data that conflicts with their preconceived notions, one expects another to experience some level of epiphany.  I’ve accomplished this at least in regards to your assertion that the congress flipped Republican based on the CRA of 1964.  You can recognize it or stick to your talking points.  Nobody’s invested in this thread any longer anyhow.

    Victor,
    You moron, you cannot build enough windmills to make enough electricity to support the 312 MILLION people in the United States. The blades on this wind farm are 70 feet long Victor, meaning they have to be at least 141 feet apart. 
    The electricity cost 10 times as much to produce. Who is going to buy that electricity? Al Gore and George Soros? Certainly not you or I, as the numbers will shortly show.
    Coal accounts for only 20% of all GHG emmissions. http://www.pewclimate.org/global-warming-basics/coalfacts.cfm
    “Coal is inherently higher-polluting and more carbon-intensive than other energy alternatives. However, coal is so inexpensive that one can spend quite a bit on pollution control and still maintain coal’s competitive position.” (Same source)
    Why is this true? “Coal can provide usable energy at a cost of between $1 and $2 per MMBtu compared to $6 to $12 per MMBtu for oil and natural gas, and coal prices are relatively stable.” (Same source.) That is $1-$2 per Million British Thermal Units.  3412 Btus= 1 kWh. 1 MMBtu= 293.08 kWh. 
    Where does Wind generated electricity get to be so cheap?  ” The fact that very high profits due to generous tax breaks and subsidies for “wind farms” – not claimed environmental benefits — are probably the principal motivation for investments now being made in “wind farms.” Often, “green washing” will be part of the motivation.” http://www.mnforsustain.org/windpower_schleede_costs_of_electricity.htm#A. True Cost of Electricity from Wind 
    “Finally, EIA provides estimates for adding transmission capacity to serve “wind farms, which include data for situations requiring transmission in the 0-5 mile range ($8.74 to $15.23 per kW, depending on region), 5-10 mile range ($26.23 to $45.70 per kW), 10-20 mile range ($52.47 to $91.40 per kW) all in 2001$.” (Same source).
    How will the current economy handle the fact that it is costing pennies now for a kWh as compared to $8.74-$91.40 per kW? 
    Where did I ever say that I wanted to destroy the climate? Why do you have to ask such deceitful questions? Morals have no place in science, if they did the world would still be like your forehead, flat.

    The vast majority of climate scientists could not disagree with you more. You are writing propaganda for the fossil fuel industry, politicizing what is a physics problem.  This is explained here:

    http://www.voanews.com/english/news/usa/Politics-Overtaking-Science-in-Global-Warming-Debate-128803748.htmlI'm no scientist, but I can tell you what one flaw in your thinking is.  If cosmic rays from the sun cause climate change on other planets but not the Earth, it is because we have the greenhouse effect that protects us from those changes.  It is the very greenhouse effect that humans are modifying. This is not political; this is physics.Your idea that the climate has changed over the many millennia is correct, but just as humans would scramble to prevent a huge asteroid from destroying human like as it did the dinosaurs, so too can humans now, with enough cooperation, effort and expense, counter the changes in the greenhouse that we and nature are causing to keep life sustainable. We have already done this with the chemicals that were destroying the ozone, and we can address the levels of carbon that are causing the greenhouse effect to overheat the planet. We control the atmosphere now; it’s just a matter of letting that control destroy us or if we can radically transform the oil age into an age of green, sustainable energy. 97% of all climate scientists agree: we are experiencing anthropomorphic global warming and systemic climate change.  We can slow, stop and reverse these changes. We have to.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_opinion_on_climate_change  

  • Matt

    “We control the atmosphere now”? I think you just illustrated one of my points. It’s now a faith to some rather than an ongoing scientific theory and research.

    I was merely introducing another credible scientific study that lays out another possible cause of climate change and it’s shot down before it’s even read. The European Organization for Nuclear Research (Cern) is a highly respected research group.http://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/Home/Archive/Cern_study_gives_insight_into_cloud_formation.html?cid=30994792

    Even Michael Crichton didn’t think the math supported man-made global warming. He was certainly smarter than Al Gore when it comes to science.

    “Your coal plant contributes to AGW, the windmills do not.  You
    also do not include the cost of coal. Just the plant. Once built, the
    windmills “fuel” is free.”******************************************************************************************************************************Modern coal fired power plants produce almost no carbon because they all use EPA mandated devices to eliminate the combustion residue which act like the catalytic converter in your car. Compared to unprocessed waste from an old technology coal burning plant they produce a practically negligible carbon load.Natural gas fired power plants are commonplace and they produce almost no atmospheric effects. Name one mechanical device that is maintenance free. Have you ever seen a wind turbine up close? The thing that liberals won’t tell you is they make a lot of racket, kill birds, and cost not only for initial purchase but also need expensive inspections and maintenance on a regular basis. Most of the commercial-scale turbines installed today are 2 Megawatts in size and cost roughly $3.5 Million installed – for one.******************************************************************************************************************************”Also, you ignored what you can’t
    address, that energy costs are going to soar after we reach peak
    production. The question is how much, and the more energy we can
    produce, the less the prices will soar.”*****************************************************************************************************************************Why are costs going to soar? If your green alternative production is so much better than conventional power production technology why will it cost so much? There is no question about how much consumer prices for energy will rise, because Obama, Gore and company let the cat out of the bag with the Cap and Tax scheme that they created with the express intention of making even conservative energy use unaffordable by the average American household. The scheme is to tax energy production to the point that the current technology sources won’t be able to stay in business – but in an attempt to stay in business the offset of these exhorbitant and unwarranted taxes will be passed on to consumers in their mailboxes every month until the power companies go bankrupt because the people getting the bills cannot afford to pay them. ******************************************************************************************************************************”Tell us Todd why you want to destroy the climate.  That, ultimately is Gore’s moral issue.”*******************************************************************************************************************************This is just like a drama queen – can’t make a logical point so dream up the most far-fetched question you can throw at your opponent in a desperate attempt to make him look bad and an even more desperate attempt at regaining a lead that you never had in the first place. Gore has no standing on moral issues – he threw that out the window with his fallacious movie. Saying he as moral standing is like saying Michael Moore has morals – only in your bizarro world.Tell us Victor when did you stop beating your wife and molesting children in your neighborhood?

    September 23, 2007 interesting bit:
    Global Warmer Hoaxer James Hansen Once Pushed Global Cooling

    NASA bureaucrat James Hansen, who has been making a pretty penny by helping Al Gore prop up the global warming hoax, is a veteran of the global cooling hoax popular in the 1970s.

    Investor’s Business Daily reports that a 1971 Washington Post scare piece entitled “U.S. Scientist Sees New Ice Age Coming” fretted that burning fossil fuels discharges particles into the atmosphere that reflect the sun’s rays back into space. Emissions over 5–10 years supposedly “could be sufficient to trigger an ice age.”

    The NASA research behind this hysteria was supported by a “computer program developed by Dr. James Hansen,” the same guy who now refers to those who won’t drink the global warming Kool-Aid as “court jesters.”

    IBD comments:

    It’s clear that Hansen is as much a political animal as he is a scientist. Did he switch from one approaching cataclysm to another because he thought it would be easier to sell to the public? Was it a career advancement move or an honest change of heart on science, based on empirical evidence?

    If Hansen wants to change positions again, the time is now. With NASA having recently revised historical temperature data that Hansen himself compiled, the door has been opened for him to embrace the ice age projections of the early 1970s.

    Could be he’s feeling a little chill in the air again.

    People don’t pay attention to this ninny – He has no idea about this subject. He didn’t answer me on a post from two days ago, so in counter to his post just now I am reposting this:

    Victor you said this two days ago:

    “The fracking in the SW and West has poisoned some of the drinking water and scared the terrain.”

    Well
    fracturing is used to open the casing on every well that produces oil.
    This is a very popular lie among the environmentalist crowd, but the
    strata bearing the oil heretofore inaccessible that fracking is being
    used for is much deeper than any aquifer. A popular myth but ignorant if
    you know what you are talking about, Victor, which you do not. Did you
    also know that in order to frac a  well a string of explosive charges is
    used to puncture the well casing which is a solid walled concrete liner
    poured into the well to seal the hole from the surface to the bottom of
    the hole? Those charges are only placed where the oil is and the
    fracking process forces WATER into the newly punctured casing and out in
    to the oil bearing rock to pressurize the well, and upon the completion
    of that the oil is able to fill the casing and be pumped out of the
    well. You don’t know a damned thing about the process yet you feel your
    uninformed opinion is adequate to challenge known geological science?
    You just don’t know who to fight with or when to do it.

    “Scared
    terrain”? Really? Well why don’t you and some of your equally stupid
    friends go there and comfort that  frightened landscape? 

    I’ll say one thing Victor Tinfanny, you sure are consistent – consistently wrong about so many things.

    Do a little research on a petroleum engineering site or any site not politically aligned with environmentalism and you will see for yourself that I have the facts here and Victor is lying his ass off.

    Fracking is something you know zero about. Have you ever been to an oil or gas well during the process? NO. Did you even know how it is done or why before I said anything about it? NO. Fact is you are just repeating bull crap statements made by left wing nut jobs like you about the subject of petroleum industry operations, and so many other things you puke up in your ignorance. Have you ever looked up fracturing or drilling operations from a professional source? NO. Fact is you don’t want your leftist liberal liar buddies to be proven wrong, and yourself as well. Rage on in your ignorance! We all find it very entertaining.

    Fact is you have never offered any evidence that any percentage of climate science is behind anything about anthropomorphic global warming except the part that it is a HOAX. Not one shred of evidence exists to back up you regurgitations, yet you repeat them like a good little zealot. Since you are a supposed Master of Arts in Social Science, you should know that Wiki is a piss poor substitute for real data and the only time I have seen you cite it is right here and right now. Is this how you got past the Masters board, buy citing Wiki sources? I seriously doubt that, and just about everything else you say.

    Climate change is inevitable and we humans are powerless to affect it. The sun and cosmic rays do have the power to affect climate change an have since this planet developed an atmosphere. Do you even know what the composition of the atmosphere has been during the epochs that life has been present on this earth? No you don’t. You assume much, believe in fairy stories that crack-pot protesters like you dream up to create falsehoods in the face of reality, and we can’t afford to believe a damn thing you and people like you say.

    The fact is you would have the population dependent on candles to lighting their homes while they shiver and freeze to death on cold winter nights because the technologies you dimwits are backing can’t shoulder the load that conventional power and fuels do every day. You are the gullible minion who is lying to promote an agenda of bringing the third world standard of living to the majority of Americans, but you are so stupid that you don’t see that will engulf you as well. Only the wealthy will escape the horrible reality you are pushing Americans toward.

    Want to try it out? Here’s how:

    Give up your car. That energy consuming conveyance not only costs fuel to operate, but it consumed a good amount of it when it was built before a tire touched the roadway.

    Give up all the utilities you now use in your home. You won’t be able to use them without current technology power generation.

    Give up your home. It could not have been built without electric power made possible by current technology power generation.

    Dig a well and haul your water into the house. Built an outdoor latrine – flush toilets are useless without a water supply.

    Give up your job. Without petroleum and current technology power generation no one will be working because industry will cease to function.

    Grow a garden and try to live on that – you can’t use fertilizer, steel tools, plastics of any kind because those all require the consumption of petroleum and current technology power generation to be manufactured.

    Without all of these things the government will collapse and there goes your social safety net. No government means no money. The entire population is going to feel that hit. You can’t be a rich guy without money that has value.

    Without government there will be no defense of you, your home, your family, or your country. The foreign powers that covet America’s resources will swarm in like hornets and take it all. No more America. No more freedom, No more Constitution, nothing.

    Until green power is sufficient to carry and maintain the consumption level of this nation – and it hasn’t happened yet, anywhere – we will continue to need to develop petroleum and current technology power generation for some time to come. Unless you want to throw it all away like Victor and his eco-terrorist buddies. You see, they don’t care if you have a comfortable, livable home, or safe and reliable transportation, or a place to work and provide a living for your family, or medicines and hospitals when you need healthcare, or the freedom to live your life as you see fit. They are only interested in turning your world upside down and destroying that which made them possible. The literally bite the hand that fed them, and now they want you to do it too. Most of them don’t contribute to society or the people’s defense, like Victor here – he thinks you have to be drafted to defend his country. Most of them take and consume just like everyone else, but they want you to stop because you are a bad person for doing it. They rationalize it is OK for them to consume because of their higher purpose – that of making us a nation of ignorant peasants living a subsistence life in squalor, while they go on to become the elite class of citizens. The part they won’t see coming is the tsunami like effect of their green power revolution that is being pushed at maximum velocity down our throats, We can’t afford the cost of it, it can’t provide our needed quantities of power to even continue life at this level and it will economically break America.

  • Victor Tiffany

    When supporters of reactionary propagandist Glenn Beck and victims of Fox misinformation believe that they are right and 97% of the world’s climate scientists are wrong, then we live in a dangerous world where ignorance, arrogantly submitted as Beck is wont, will pervert the public interest of not only preventing social/national/civilization collapse, but in the long run human survival. We live in a world where victims of propaganda become functionally insane by embracing denial of scientific fact.

    I cannot support Gore’s claim that denialists are like racists, but they certainly are flat Earthers or like the Vatican in Galileo’s time insisting that the Earth is the center of the universe.  Only in this case, real lives and human survival is at stake.

    “I’m no scientist,” – that is what I have been saying to you for a long time and now you admit it. Now we can agree on something. Just when I see promise in you actually becoming intelligent you wreck it with this, “97% of all climate scientists agree: we are experiencing anthropomorphic
    global warming and systemic climate change.  We can slow, stop and
    reverse these changes. We have to.” That is sheer idiocy on your part. You have no evidence to support that 97% figure, and you are completely wrong about humans being able to control the changes in climate. Are you one of those HAARP conspiracy nuts? Human beings would have to be able to reinforce the magnetosphere of this planet to do that. Your understanding of basic 7th grade earth science is freakin’ unbelievable!

    Co2 is not a poisonous gas, it is essential for plant life. More Co2 means more plants which means more O2 for animal respiration. Where did this Co2 junk start? Maybe you should read a 7th grade science book and get some insight.

    It has also been learned that the ozone layer has holes in it in multiple locations and these occur due to the effects of the sun – you know, that big ball of fire in the sky? The facts are that the sun is the weather engine for the solar system we live in. Solar flares, sunspots, solar wind, coronal mass ejections all of these do more to drive the weather than we puny humans can ever hope to do. The day you learn to control the climate of an entire planet you will be ahead of every climatologist on Earth. At least climatologists admit they only study the climate – you have some nutjob idea that we humans can alter it.

    You lose again – how do you like me now?

    Victor you always say that when your crack supply runs out.

    There are two answers to your question:

    1.) Why? Did you run out?

    2.) No, you lie enough to supply the entire human race well into the 31st century.

    Sounds great! Let’s have a party…but don’t invite Vicky. Let him cook his own goose and stew in his juices.

  • Sandie

    That must be one hell of a list, are you still typing??? LMAO

  • Sandie

    All he knows to do is parrot the talking points of pretend scientists like Gore whose only knowledge of climate science is that you can fear monger with it and make money.

  • Sandie

    Not true. A very much smaller % of those less than 3000 hired to do the IPCC agree with Gore, many have jumped ship. A large number of those original scientists were not climate scientists, many had never done or published any studies, had little or no credible credentials for being appointed to the IPCC which was all government paid for and whose goals were determined by governments.
    More than 31,000 scientists have signed a petition denying that man is
    responsible for global warming. If you can come up with 5 %  of scientists who will back the theory that humans are causing global warming you are doing well.

  • Sandie

    Sorry to break the news, but liberal bias and reality are diametrically opposed. They are mutually exclusive .

  • Sandie

    He should eat more mushrooms – they have no calories.

  • Zaabb3

    dont you love how the climate alarmists twist when questioned about their false claims? If you climate alarmists were as intelligent as you think you are, you’d welcome criticism. It makes you what you hate in others: closed minded bigots.

  • Zaabb2

    thats crap. gore is the flat earther. and he’s also making a ton of money on his crap. 97 per cent is bull. most scientists have big problems with the gore kool aid. youre subverting the truth.

    Oh, Sidestepping Vicky33, the science behind climate change changes everyday. It’s not settled, and it’s not proven. In fact, it’s as much a theory as it ever were. Remember, you are trying to sell the idea that the meteorology community who can’t accurately predict rain or sunshine from day to day is supposed to be able to determine that global warming is caused by burning for energy and capitalism overall.

    It’s simply not a proven fact Vicky33. Remember when Tom Selleck told us the oceans would be gone in ten years twenty five years ago?

    You’re just a nut-job Sidestepping Vicky33. You only believe what suits your view of the world and what is worse, is your are certain.

    This is why you are an idiot Vicky and you’re just a parrot in a cage squawking.

    This global warming with Al Gore and the rest of the MMGW crowd reminds me of the story of Chicken Little (aka Henny Penny) – “The Sky is Falling”
    So Henny Penny, Cocky Locky, Ducky Lucky, Goosey Loosey and Turkey Lurkey all followed Foxy Loxy. He led them to the wood, and up to a dark hole, which was the door to his home. Inside his wife and five hungry children were waiting for him to bring home some dinner.

    If Al Gore is Chicken Little, then Obama must be Foxy Loxy.
    LOL
