Your politicians are taking this off topic.

Q: Why not focus on real environmental problems instead of a fake problems?

A: Because they care about money and the power, not the environment.

The AGW lie is getting really old, and you’re letting your politicians use is to destroy the credibility of your movement. In 1988 James Hansen testified before congress to scare us about global warming. See his failed predictions on page 7 of this PDF:

http://pubs.giss.nasa.gov/docs/1988/1988_Hansen_etal.pdf

All satellite data, including this from the University of Alabama at Huntsville proves that he was wrong. The predicted warming never occurred:

2008 was 0.3 degrees colder than 1988, not 0.7 degrees warmer, as he predicted. Now politicians are threatening to burden the economy with ‘Cap-and-Trade’, a massive tax increase on all conventional energy usage, to be paid for by you every time you buy anything manufactured or transported using energy, which includes nearly everything buy, and your utility bill. They claim to be protecting your children’s future, but they are really impoverishing your children’s future with this additional burden. Read about this deliberate hoax from 1988:

http://icecap.us/index.php/go/joes-blog/hansens_anniversary_testimony/

We are being forced to pay for less reliable, uneconomical sources of energy while being told they are viable alternatives, which is not true. All of the so-called ‘alternative’ sources of energy, including wind and solar, equal less than one percent of mankind’s needs, and don’t ever produce enough electricity to pay for themselves, without subsidies. Meanwhile, hydrocarbon energy and nuclear energy are throttled for no good reason.

Real scientists (not patronage-money grant seekers) never accepted this theory:

31,478 scientists signed a petition opposing the man-made global warming theory. Their reasoning is outlined in a peer reviewed journal article detailing the evidence that disproved the theory:

http://www.petitionproject.org/

"The reason why Dr Mörner, formerly a Stockholm professor, is so certain that these claims about sea level rise are 100 per cent wrong is that they are all based on computer model predictions, whereas his findings are based on "going into the field to observe what is actually happening in the real world".

When running the International Commission on Sea Level Change, he launched a special project on the Maldives, whose leaders have for 20 years been calling for vast sums of international aid to stave off disaster. Six times he and his expert team visited the islands, to confirm that the sea has not risen for half a century. Before announcing his findings, he offered to show the inhabitants a film explaining why they had nothing to worry about. The government refused to let it be shown."

The opitomy of inaccuracy, arrogance and demagogery is auradawnveirs of ca .You have something negative about everybody. Your Global Warming sermon is ridiculous to say the least.

Stanley Stuart feingold of NY 7:35PM July 21, 2009

Quotes from SSF of ny and keifer of NH have it right, Even space cadets in CA benefit from the !st amendment. The looney left. Say no more, auradawnveirs of CA, Femanazi"s are of no relevance!. The "Atheist pistol", You seem to annoy quite a few people with your hypocrisy!

DIM's inaccurate, insulting remarks about physical appearance take comments off-topic. Instead of debate, there are remarks about "need of a nose job," and "green teeth." It's reminiscent of poorly-parented kids on a school-bus, inventing bad nicknames for newcomers. This comment site exists to present differences of opinion. Ice caps and glaciers are melting. Some coastal areas will be flooded. People who can't leave smoggy areas are suffering from lung disease. Some people try to arouse contempt for organized global efforts to improve our environment. Their behavior proves they have low standards. They increase destruction of forests, those vital producers of oxygen. They increase pollution, gridlock, road rage, slums, barrios, and pave-over of farmland. Palin invites examination of her lack of education. She said she saw human footprints inside fossil dinosaur tracks. She believes humans lived in the age of dinosaurs. If that fact emerged earlier in her campaign, maybe her vote count would have been lower. Maybe someone told her to resign because it was publicized at last?

"On Friday, Politico reported..."

And the day before, www.redcounty.com reported it here: http://www.redcounty.com/did-walking-around-money-help-cap-and-trade-vote

Just wish one of you could have cited us.

Chip Hanlon of CA 3:29AM July 20, 2009

Funny that when someone Questions a liberals looks, you get so defensive. But when Palin's attacked, it's okay .You need thicker skin. As for D.I.M's beauty, marvelous! And as for jealousy not a chance. These are two miserable people. And a bunch of jealous liberal woman. Would not trade a day with any of them. Come on you can be the most devoted liberal and have to agree about those two wonderful looking Hypocrites. They are not honest people and they are not out for our best interest. Gore pretends to be so Green it's gotten to his teeth. Unless your so insecure, it shouldn't matter. It's been a my pleasure responding.

AMERICA’S NATIONAL HEALTHCARE EMERGENCY!

It’s official. America and the World are now in a GLOBAL PANDEMIC. A World EPIDEMIC with potential catastrophic consequences for ALL of the American people. The first PANDEMIC in 41 years. And WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES will have to face this PANDEMIC with the 37th worst quality of healthcare in the developed World.

STAND READY AMERICA TO SEIZE CONTROL OF YOUR NATIONAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEM.

We spend over twice as much of our GDP on healthcare as any other country in the World. And Individual American spend about ten times as much out of pocket on healthcare as any other people in the World. All because of GREED! And the PRIVATE FOR PROFIT healthcare system in America.

And while all this is going on, some members of congress seem mostly concern about how to protect the corporate PROFITS! of our GREED DRIVEN, PRIVATE FOR PROFIT NATIONAL DISGRACE. A PRIVATE FOR PROFIT DISGRACE that is in fact, totally valueless to the public health. And a detriment to national security, public safety, and the public health.

Progressive democrats the Tri-Caucus and others should stand firm in their demand for a robust government-run public option for all Americans, with all of the minimum requirements progressive democrats demanded. If congress can not pass a robust public option with at least 51 votes and all robust minimum requirements, congress should immediately move to scrap healthcare reform and request that President Obama declare a state of NATIONAL HEALTHCARE EMERGENCY! Seizing and replacing all PRIVATE FOR PROFIT health insurance plans with the immediate implementation of National Healthcare for all Americans under the provisions of HR676 (A Single-payer National Healthcare Plan For All).

Coverage can begin immediately through our current medicare system. With immediate expansion through recruitment of displaced workers from the canceled private sector insurance industry. Funding can also begin immediately by substitution of payroll deductions for private insurance plans with payroll deductions for the national healthcare plan. This is what the vast majority of the American people want. And this is what all objective experts unanimously agree would be the best, and most cost effective for the American people and our economy.

In Mexico on average people who received medical care for A-H1N1 (Swine Flu) with in 3 days survived. People who did not receive medical care until 7 days or more died. This has been the same results in the US. But 50 million Americans don’t even have any healthcare coverage. And at least 200 million of you with insurance could not get in to see your private insurance plans doctors in 2 or 3 days, even if your life depended on it. WHICH IT DOES!

If President Obama has to declare a NATIONAL STATE OF EMERGENCY to rescue the American people from our healthcare crisis, he will need all the sustained support you can give him. STICK WITH HIM! He’s doing a brilliant job.

THIS IS THE BIG ONE!

THE BATTLE OF GOOD Vs EVIL!

Join the fight.

Contact congress and your representatives NOW! AND SPREAD THE WORD!

Is D.I.M. jealous of Democrat millionaires in Congress?

auradawnveirs of CA 9:51PM July 17, 2009

Waxman should spend some of this money on a nose job. got to be the ugliest rich dude out there. Gore is a close second with those teeth. These are some ratty looking millionaires. Hey I'm sorry to leave out those disgusting looking liberal woman. Don't even need to name, you know who you are. There the ones jealous of Palin's looks, Well that's all of them. Now commenting on the buying votes, it's a general practice for Democrats to judge others and do worse than what they question, hypocrites and failures = Obama's Acorn administration.
