Video: Wake up to global warming
posted at 8:10 pm on November 20, 2007 by Bryan
Here’s a nice little ad from the US Chamber of Commerce that makes a serious point: Congress is about to apply science that it doesn’t understand to screw up the economy in ways that are all too easy to foretell.

to be a Democrat is to weigh every possible change in law with the question: “Will this make us more like Europe?”

Global Warming = Hoax.

Did you notice the sound of the clock. It was the sound of a wind-up clock. They couldn’t even afford enough electricity to to power an electric clock.
That’s were we will be if Al Gore and his ilk get their way.

Here I was thinking Lieberman and Warner were level headed about this. The only person in congress that even understands this issue and the science is Inhofe.

Ooops, forgot to end the quote.

The new green is the new stupid. Nuclear energy, our main near-term alternative to fossil fuel, is the test of seriousness about climate change and the prospect of global warming.

This has only ever been about power. And I ain’t talkin fuel and generators, either.
The “Great Global Warming Debate” has been going on since the 80s, and one side has always been wrong, and always got favorable press coverage, and always claimed it was winning.
All we need to end the political and economic bleed that is “Anthropogenic Global Warming” is to convince the MSM to occasionally tell the truth.
I know, I know. Stupid idea.
The only other idea is to get the “science community” to return to its roots of inquiry and discovery, and away from cynical ideological maneuvering.
Darn it! Okay, I don’t have an answer.

Global warming is a public referendum on stupidity.

I’ve gotta admit, I was a global warming skeptic. But then I saw a spot on Bravo during “green week” where Tim Gunn of the Parsons School of Design and host of Project Runway declaratively stated that global warming is real and it is man-made.
Tim Gunn, people!

Project Runway = Black hole of intelligence
Go figure.

It understands the science and the fact that the science is bogus. Congress is just getting used to also having power over natural science. We’ll be back to the sun in orbit around the earth before Hilary is out of office.
When they came for the Bibles, I didn’t complain
When they came for the history books, I said nothing
When they came for the science books, ……………….

Great parody on global warming, forget the political spot, remember-humor must contain truth to be funny.
The carpool sign on what really appears to be a two lane road is a touch of irony. Are the people in the ‘left’lane headed for a head on with reality?

I believe that Ray Bradbury, George Orwell, and Aldous Huxley were just scraping the surface. People like us (bloggers on Hot Air) are simply shouting “foul” into a rageing wind of change that is sweeping this planet into a future filled with hollow demigods and flim-flam men.
We the people used to have power, but now we see it slipping away to political elites and multinational corporations. Our constitution, possibly the greatest document ever written, is being allowed to be “interpreted” by men driven by agendas. And now science itself (empirical method) is being politicized to further political agendas.
Hold on tight babyboomers because it’s gonna be quite a ride at the end.

The truth is that the real reason they don’t want us to win in Iraq is that Leftist’s admire the current Iraqui life style:
Thugs roam the street with no fear of arrest…
Electricity only 4-6 hours/day…
If we win, prosperity in Iraq will ruin it all…
