#1 Forgot Acid Rain, Ozone hole, Peak Oil and a few more scares-for-grants nonsense.

#3 Regardless, when you hear 'carbon' or 'CO2', it's the old Man Made Climate Change scam.

#6 Ultimate surrender. Can't prove warming. Can't even prove any systematic "change." So now we blame people for bad weather. Any word on what sort of sacrifice the angry weather gods are demanding?

#8 My son was watching this 'science' show last night about Venus. The narraitor, it think it was Ben Affact (sp?) or something was talking about how 'Venus was a goddess from hell full of heat and volcanoes and of course lots and lots of CO2 and if we didn't change our ways we were going to end up the same way!'. It was more of a Religious sermon the scientific presentation.

Never did he mention that Venus was much closer to the sun - or that the CO2 Venus has wasn't man-caused.

#9 And yet the people spouting this crap still take private jets all over the world and have a bigger carbon footprint than 10 average American combined.

Until these idiots start practicing what they preach and on top of that render themselves carbon neutral, I ain't buying it.

#10 Darth, nice paraphrase of Insty's classic line.

"I'll believe it's a crisis when the people telling me it's a crisis start acting like it's a crisis."

#11 Please, lets not forget the Methane, a very high contributor to Climate ~~Change~~ Disruption. As I have said before these Democrats give me the sh*ts and thereby increase my methane output tenfold. After Big O's last edict, I am anticipating them passing some sort legislation, or encorporating a rule via Obamacare, or even an Executive Order, which addresses this condition, and raises additional revenue.

Cynical. Me?

Why, Yes....pfffft!

Oh, pardon me, I just passed some gas.

(IRS) - that will be 1 Dollar please for your "Methane Offset Tax".

#13 Venus is hotter mainly because it's got MORE atmosphere 93 times more pressure.
At an height were the pressure is the same as Earth's surface, the temperature is only hotter by a factor relating to the suns distance.

#14 Didn't know that BP - thanks. The narrator didn't mention that either. And he really did say that if we didn't change our ways we would end up the same way as Venus.

Is this the kind of crap being taught in schools nowdays? Why do I have a bad feeling that it is?

#15 Still looking for the "just right" adjective that will bring around the remaining "3% of Scientists."
