Obama is a liar and Truth is killing his Marxist agenda.

If the tone of your question were incredulity then I would fully agree with you. Why would anyone be so stupid as to want to redistribute wealth and thus put the brakes on the very economic growth which has been instrumental in lifting the poor from the horrors of primitive subsistence they knew before the Industrial Revolution?

Alas, that’s not what you meant. It’s as if you’re denying the philosophical motive of socialists altogether, like a defense lawyer asking a jury: “why would he kill his wife? It just doesn’t make sense!”

Thank you for that website info! I just spent a few minutes reading up on the Tides Foundation and Center-unbelievable. I kept seeing the Tides name in posts but didn’t understand how it worked.

You don’t really want an answer, and any answer given would go in one ear and out the other. You’ve already stated you believe this scam, regardless of how much scientific evidence goes the other way (and none of it goes your way, FYI).

But to give you the only answer that makes sense, it comes down to money and power. My evidence? Your high priest, algore himself. When he starts ACTING like there’s a planetary crisis, I might listen when he talks about it. Until then, he’ll be laughing his way to the bank (with your money).

I yam what I yam, douchebag.

Who said that, Socrates?

No, Popeye.

(Can’t remember the movie that was in)

Yeah, we misled, but we needed the emotionalism!

Couldn’t that be used to explain Obama’s 2008 campaign, too?

But Gore is in it for the money not the destruction of humans or the restricting of countries. He wants the first world countries to buy his carbon credits. His scam will go down in history as one of the greatest.

True, RT, and I just heard that some British folks selling carbon credits and living high on the hog as a result were arrested for income tax evasion. A fraud upon a fraud. Wonder if Gore is paying his income taxes from all the carbon credits he’s selling?

the only proposed ways are to limit growth and economy while funneling wealth to poorer countries.

You never addressed my question. Why would they wish to do this?

You think man can destroy the planet? What intoxicating vanity… We can’t imagine its slow and powerful rhythms, and we haven’t got the humility to try.

Lefty eco-nuts have a defective mental image of the size of the Earth versus the size of the human race. They imagine a carton caricature of the globe which has gigantick smoke stacks and factories thrusting into the sky from every square inch of land. They imagine entire countries covered in concrete, entire continents glowing with electric light when viewed from space. They picture gigantic cartoon giants stomping over the planet, grinding every last natural habitat into the dirt to make way for car parks and power stations.

What they don’t picture is the Earth as it really is, a ginormous planet with a light sprinkling of human dust specks here and there, the evidence of whom is barely visible from space. It’s like they’ve never flown in an aircrat and looked down to see just how much of the land is untouched and uninhabited.

Any aliens watching us must be splitting their sides to observe the global warming movement. The sheer naïve arrogance of these humans, to believe that they can change their planet’s climate at all, never mind in such a negligible space of time.

Outgoing Greenpeace leader Gerd Leipold admits to “emotionalizing” when the group falsely claimed that the Arctic Ice sheet will disappear by 2030.

Carson was a eugenicist–look at her partnerships and her career; she had no problem with people being eradicated to save her precious birds. I have no qualms in lacking sympathy for her painful death. I feel we haven’t been nasty enough in attacking this despicable person.

And DDT is effective against malaria, I don’t have time to look for the recent studies that show this, but it should be reintroduced. The deaths and some of the lack of development in Africa could have been prevented, but lefties would prefer for non-developed nations to continue their 13-century lifestyles. Makes them more “exotic” and “authentic.”

They all lie. It’s what they do. And of course emotionalism justifies the means.

Emotionalism is all they have. I hope Rachel Carson enjoys her time in hell for sending millions of Africans to their graves.

Nasty, racist, lefty c^%t.

Now, now lets not be really nasty. She only wanted DDT to be used effectively which wasn’t happening. The overuse of it was the problem and it was creating resistant strains of the very insects it was targeting. I could be argued that by the time it was banned it was already pretty much useless. I remember when I was young and a friend of mine dad was a farmer. His rule of thumb was that if a pound of insecticide killed a the bugs in his field in ten days then ten pounds would kill them in a day. Of course he was wrong but that didn’t stop him. We have the very same problem with antibiotics becoming useless by over use.

Ok enough of that.
Many species revert from their adapted changes after the threat has gone away. Darwin observed this himself when studying birds. We could most likely do better if we rotate pesticides every so often. The time may be ripe for a reintroduction of DDT to combat malaria and other insect borne health problems. The problem is in trying to convince a government that has decide that DDT is bad forever.
