These leftist people railling against capatilism ought to be massing in front of the Chinese embassy in Washington and setting themselves on fire in protest. If they want something to complain about.

Likewise how left wing professors can rail against facisits like Hitler etc when Stalin killed more people than Hitler ever did beggars belief.

I mean its OK if Statin commits paranoid mass murder but not if Hitler does it?

...and Tim Cook (the CEO of Apple) recently stated that if you own stock and are a 'climate change denier', then sell the stock...as 'we don't want your money' . No matter how one feels about that issue, IMO, that statement sounds as if it is being uttered by a child, not the CEO of the most valuable corporation (by market cap) on the planet.

Spoken by someone trying to manipulate the ignorant masses, that Cook guy. Funny how no one talks about Kyoto now that Bush is gone...

Climate change is a moot point. If real we will do NOTHING to stop it until it is too late. Atmospheric pollution is now in the hands of the Chinese and Indians who build ever more coal fired power plants and drive more cars. Most of GMs cars sold today are sold in China. We also generate 50% of our power by coal and that aint changing either.

I wonder is the water rising enough in Venice so they have to close down the city? Funny supposedly the water level is rising but you dont hear them complaining.

Maybe the scientests say "Well its rising everwhere else BUT Venice!"

The oil we now drill was trapped by impremiable layer of rock.
Anyway the oceans are polluted by salt and the discharge of volcanoes under water. Land life would die if washed into the ocean. We cant drink salt water.
Yet mamals live in it and they CAN drink salt water.
Whatever happens life will adapt. There have been mass extinctions before and they will happens again. Life always bounces back!
Just that the next time when it does it won't have ipods.

If you believe that theory. Russia doesn't. I don't, and many others don't either. The same exact scientist (who was Russian, btw) who came up with the dinosaur theory also later in life came up with the theory that oil is a byproduct of natural earth processes. And since oil wells that use to be dry are now full, and Russia has found oil under bedrock, it makes a ton more sense.

Everyone now understands Kyoto was total and utter crap. If every country went by it the kyoto protocol might lower the temperature 1/4 degree in 100 years or so. Totally useless.

Warming is not something we are contributing to. The sun is the main contributor, as every single other planet and body in our solar system is rising in temp the exact same amount earth is. i don't see any people on any of those other planets.

And the water level in Venice is not rising, the entire city of Venice is actively sinking. The water can easily be pumped back out into the ocean. They have massive barriers to keep out the ocean. Hmm, I wonder why New Orleans doesn't have the same system.
