“"investment"? Is that code for "tax"?”

“But....it'­s a science.

Religion is based in faith.

Clear difference my friend!”

“If you don't believe we should be drilling anymore . . . you better hold true to that in your own life then . . .

- Don't use rubber products
- Don't drive a car
- Don't ride a bus
- Don't use products shipped via trucks
- Don't fly on a plane

Otherwise, you're kidding yourself.”

“Oil and coal are inert sources of energy. Far better sources than most biofuel production which requires almost as much fuel input as the output.”

“Great, and we have 100 years worth of coal. Let's just keep on pumping that CO2 out until New York is flooded!”

“There is little doubt that there are world powers pushing for just this and Obama is an admitted supporter. We do not need to give up our constitution to become like the other countries in the world. Let them become like us.”

“And the stolen emails that were chosen to be revealed were not cherry-picked as well?”

“There are certainly a lot of you here, my question is: do you all share the same brain cell? It certainly appears that way.”

“Dr. Jones didn't quit his job. The Dean asked him to take an administrative leave.

Gore is smart: he rather wait for the issue to get resolved before speaking in public again.

In the meantime, do not let the facts get in the way of your beliefs. This ClimateGate BS has already been refuted.

That said, there is no question that some of the scientists at the CRU have some 'splainning to do. But even that does NOT change the climate destabilization theory (a theory is not a hunch BTW) one bit.

I'll provide penty of links to support what I just said...if you are willing to use them.”

“How about "canceling speaking engagements until the issue is resolved"? But you wouldn't know about that since you won't even acknowledge that the hacked emails were "taken out of context," something people like you shout every time any "m@cac@" comment is spouted by one of your own.”

“The only thing spilling here is your premature _ejaculate.”

“So really we should demand that the science speak for itself. Someone is going to try to make money off of everything anyway.”

“Except they're not:

"A group promoting skepticism over widely-accredited climate change science has a web of connections to influential oil giant Exxon-Mobil, Raw Story has found.

The organization is called the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC), apparently named after the UN coalition International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). An investigation into the group reveals its numerous links to Exxon-Mobil, a vehement opponent of climate legislation and notorious among scientists for funding global warming skeptics.

"Exxon-Mobil essentially funds people to lie," Joseph Romm, lauded climate expert and author of the blog Climate Progress, told Raw Story. "It's important for people to understand that they pay off the overwhelming majority of groups in the area of junk science.""

There's much more profit in oil:

"(2008) Exxon Mobil reported the largest annual profit in U.S. history Friday, making $45.22 billion on the back of record oil price"

“Listen, everyone wants a piece of the pie. Personally, I don't give a ratsass who makes money from green industry as long as they clean up the environment, our air, food and water. The question is, will it really be cleaned up.”

“So climate scientists are oligarchs? It is simply untrue that data is showing anything that would make climate scientists retreat from AGW, that is simply not true. Hanging your argument on that statement discredits your entire post, though the worn out swiftboat namecalling didn't help your credibility either.”

“Where I live tens of thousands of people are unemployed as a direct result of the environmental movement. For the first time in my life I have seen democratic and republican groups come together and fight for the community! People have turned against experimentalists here in a dramatic way because they don't care about what happens to the people, most of whom are poor even in the best of times. The talk about this only hurting the rich is not true.

A new approach is needed.

One that doesn't raise taxes, energy prices or cost people jobs.”

“I'm not sure you're aware of the notion of "Playing both sides of the field."”

“Of course energy companies are interested in selling all manner of different energy products. Oil just happens to yield a bigger return at present.

If you know of a better plan to enforce reduced energy use apart from a tax on energy, then let's hear it. The oil price spike of 2008 was certainly responsible for some reduction, but the proceeds taken from the consumers pocketbook just went to... Exxon.”

“Try reading the article first.

Oh, and maybe try actually READING the article you linked to.

Stop embarrassing yourself and try looking at who is pulling your own strings.”

“You're kidding, right? Whose payroll are you on?”

“Of course he favors a tax he can merely pass onto the consumer. However, it won't do much to reduce CO2 emissions.”

“Actually Jefe Obama is a pathologic liar, uber narcissist, and grotesquely incompetent child president who actually might succeed in bringing about the destruction of the US as we know it.

Pathetic.”

“No. It wasn't. Jim Garrison, the man who Stone built his movie around was released from the Army due to severe and disabling psychoneurosis. The man he went after for Kennedy's death had nothing to do with it and was in fact a person Garrison had fixated upon prior to Kennedy’s death for other reasons. Stone used Garrison as a vehicle to push his theory of secret CIA involvement which has never been proven. To claim that the film JFK is more factual to the Warren Commission is laughable.”

“Works for me. It had not occurred to the algores of the world [ who should be rowing to Copenhagen and not cruising in a LEAR], that the Rust Belt is called this for a reason. The polluting manufacturing base is nearly extinct in America, neatly providing parallel to the erosion of unions. Logging and other resource exploitation has been severely curtailed, with enviros not essentially,but plainly demanding ''All Use Forbidden'' signs to be placed in the majority of Americas public lands. Any and all who do not toe their fundementalist line are The Enemy. ''Deniers'', ranchers, farmers, miners [who all vote],who are fed up with the hysteric alarmism eminating from overly wrought Green quarters. ''2035'' until Himayalan snowmelt? The IPCC now says it goofed in the wake of the Anglia e-mail scandals. It meant ''2305''. Manhattan under water? More like under heavy guard as KSM takes up residence. What of these devastating post-KATRINA hurricanes that did not cooperate with his Goreian Eminance? This whole deal smells like a Ponzi scheme writ large.”

“haha, you're funny, everything you just said is completely and utterly false.
None of the emails state that anywhere. The Republican anti Earth destroyers of all life are literally cherry picking words out of context and without any understanding of issues to claim false conclusions that are proven so, by reading the entirety of the emails in question.
Its ONLY the ignorant fools that follow the sheep deniers' off the cliff, SOLELY and UTTERLY for profiteering corporations that refuse to allow anyone but those at the top to benefit from their destruction of our fresh water supplies, land, air we breathe and worse yet, the rising sea levels they caused threatening 90% of the worlds population.
It would only be GOD's will to stop the destruction of the earth he gave us to cherish instead of Annhiliate like the Republicans Seek to do on a daily basis.”

“wow - that's a mouthful! lol”
