What I want to know is why there are so many trollz that come flying out of the woodwork EVERYTIME Global Warming is brought up on Huffpost? Think about it. When Al Gore's name comes up the place is FLOODED with the assholes and when GW is brought up we are flooded with almost as many assholes ALL of whom spout the same lies and nonsense.

AND more importantly why so many of them get to post their lies and obsfucations without any problems whereas if you go to rightwing sites, you will be banned and your posts will be deleted immediately.

It is just a shame that there are so many paid trollz who come here and constantly post their lies about how GW is a hoax, or will be great because everywhere will now be like sunny Hawaii, or the planting seasons will be wonderful without a single clue as to how ecology works and how it will affect us adversely overall.

It is just amazing to me how uninformed trollz are or how they are so willing to take money to help hurt their own people.

AND THERE IS NOT TWO SIDES TO SCIENCE.

There are political sides and "I don't want to believe the science" sides, but there is never two sides to science.

Something either is or it is not in science.

Warmer is always better than colder: longer growing seasons, less disease, more food, more comfort. Ask yourself, if warming was so bad why is the greatest concentration of life on earth at the equator?

Hey, what melted the ice in the last ice age because it was not my SUV?

I am loathe to defend Couric but her question to Huckabee was a valid one and clearly she was positioning herself as a typically uninformed voter.Furthermore, there should not necessarily be an automatic emotional response to any and all inferrence that the IPCC version of global warming is not the only valid viewpoint. This is not about how popular an idea is, it is about being prepared for what is happening, no matter who is at fault. Correcting the problem? Sure, but the idea, as some legislators would have you believe, that is it the developed nations responsibility to keep the global temperature withing a 2 degree range, and therefore "ideal" in the mind of the pathetically ill informed legislators, seems dubious.
By the way, even if the temps were at some ideal point on the thermometer the islands of the Indian Ocean and other places may still need help...and lots of it...for a lot more reasons than just building sea walls.

I don't really understand all of the animosity toward Couric to be honest. Is it because she's an easy target considering the job she had before this one. God, I'd hate to always be considered bad at my current job just because I was good at a previous job that was far less serious. None the less, the criticisms levied against her should certainly be spread around. Wolf Blitzer should be receiving 50 times the lambasting for not asking follow-up questions, for not taking people to task when they are clearly lying or vaguely spinning.

The question is a legitimate one. We need to know if candidates take it seriously and the only way to know that is to ask, then follow it up, then ask for specific plans, follow that up, ask for more details on those plans, follow that up, ask why they didn't believe it for so many decades and have now changed their minds, follow that up, ask why Americans should trust them to resolve a problem they didn't believe existed until just recently when evidence has so clearly pointed in the right direction for so long now, then, follow that up.

Couric is no more guilty than every other worthless, POS "journalist" in the MSM today.

Tonight on CBS: The booming war economy and how you can get in on the profit. Plus, the big profit in rape kits in the green zone. Also, the video tape destruction business-how to get your bid in to become part of the phenom! Katie also interviews Steven Segal and Kermit the Frog.

You don't get paid enough to watch Katie. Demand a raise. I went cold katie after her first week Limbaugh segment

Who pays her (grotesquely over-sized) check? With corporate ownership being the norm it's easy to dispense with "who benefits" from any newsreader's or newswriter's curriculum vitae.

Commercial news is low comedy dosed with Lipitor and found easily on even the so called public airwaves. Huffpo, too, knows your pulse.

"Hot Air Emitted by Climate Summit Equals 20,000 Cars (Update1)

By Alex Morales and Kim Chipman

Dec. 6 (Bloomberg) -- Government officials and activists flying to Bali, Indonesia, for the United Nations meeting on climate change will cause as much pollution as 20,000 cars in a year.

The delegates each will produce an average 4.07 metric tons of carbon dioxide, or CO2, to reach the resort island 950 kilometers (600 miles) from Jakarta, according to estimates e- mailed to Bloomberg by the UN agency holding the conference.

``It's very hard for the public to understand that you come together with so many people to a very distant place and cause a lot of emissions, and at the same time talk about emission reductions,'' Artur Runge-Metzger, head of climate strategy for the European Commission, said yesterday in an interview in Bali, adding that he had offset his own emissions."


Oh, this is just priceless!!!

CBS blew it putting Katie Couric as anchor on the evening news. She didn't challenge Romney, who blamed it on China, while the fact is the US (5% of the world's population) consumes 25% of the world's resources. China consumes 30% less than we do. Thompson's a dim-wit, who does not even know what it is.
CBS, or maybe just Couric alone, must be in Detroit's and big oil's back pockets for her to even think this is not a serious issue.
After her "show" on the Iraqi war, I stopped watching CBS news. Couric is no journalist, and is not a very good reporter either.

Katie Couric is a piece of fluff and should not be allowed to ask questions of any kind in public.

Katie Couric and Dana Perino are cut from the same cloth - both should keep their ''corporate paid for mouths'' shut.

Richardson is tough and on top, already itemizing his response after just five words. He missed the chance to plug his own book here. He would reduce CO2 emissions 80% by 2040.

Obama moves through the subject more slowly as does Clinton and Biden, but essentially agree with Gore. Obama would reduce CO2 emissions 80% by 2050.

Guiliani starts strong but makes the mistake that coal requires extra work to make it a low carbon emitter. He seems to be getting his energy independence answer confused with his climate change answer.

Romney starts out strong, but goes political.

McCain is still trying to convince his own that the problem is for real.

Huckabee is honest. He really hasn't a clue.

Thanks Rachel for knowing that science, unlike politics never has two sides. There is no 2 + 2 might equal 4, or it might equal 5.

Who is Couric? Perhaps her jail experience didn't help her get her act together.

global warming, global schaloming, who cares

I'm concerned that, in a supposed democracy,
the supposed public servant, the media, is
censoring which candidates we hear from.

even huffpo

It should be called "change in weather patterns." While the north pole is melting the south pole is growing with ice, so it evens out. I would call that a natural occurence and we see it more predominently now than ever. I am sure it happens over a period of time over and over. All that global warming stuff will get us more taxes, though
we should clean up our act and be responsible.
Just look at the highways and the mess.

Global Warming is actually cool.
