He's not scientifically illiterate, but he is wrong about this. Lindzen also denies there is any link between smoking and lung cancer. Does that sound credible to you?

Where is you "overwhelming evidence" for so-called "global warming" or as it is now referred to, "climate change?" There is none. This was settled when it was found to be a fraud (I was skeptical prior to that) over two years ago (or has it been three?). "Scientists" agreeing to collusion and not allowing for peer review. Differing opinions not allowed.

It is ridiculous to aver that little man has the power to alter the climate of the earth! This is the result of man's rejection of a creator (God) and an over inflated view of his own worth and significance.

Some go so far as to claim "fracking" causes earthquakes!

We have given up one of the best refrigerants because of these mindless idiots, and also incandescent light bulbs. We divert water from farms that have fed the world for years, because these same types say they are protecting some heretofore unknown species!

The lunatics have taken charge! God help us all!

Yes indeed! In the 60's these same types were spreading fear of a coming new "ice age!" I must have missed it, because I don't remember it happening. Next thing we knew, it was "global warming" (Thank you very much, Al Gore!)

THERE IS NO EVIDENCE!!!!!

Absolutely. Gullible people can be made to believe anything. When one rejects God, he is open to all kinds of deceit, and he will believe it, because he has nothing to measure it against.

I think the OP wants the poor to die and for working people to become poor and marginalized in society because they can't afford to live a non-poor lifestyle is how I see it.

How old is the Earth? Climate changes need to be looked at in a geological time, not the last 50 or even 200 years.

Chicken Little, the sky is not falling.

This is a planet. It changes. Look at this in terms of evolution, in another 100,000 years, humans may be extinct, same as dinosaurs.

No

THe holocaust is a proven historical fact

"Global Warming" is completely unproven premise which lacks firm scientific data and is based on liberal political objectives. Only an idiot, with a minimal knowledge of the scientific literature, would embrace "global warming" as fact. It is simply embarrassing that an adult would assume this unsubstantiated assumption is "fact". I would offer that belief in Leprechauns holds more validity and is a more colorful fantasy.

How is that liberals seem to deny the fact that continued uncontrolled federal spending will not destroy the nation? Perhaps it is lack of common sense.

Global Warming is on par with the Holocaust as they are both exaggerated.

They are happening/happened...but both are blown out of proportion.
