We don't need a military that big. We could cut it in half and still be the biggest kid on the block.

Climatology is not a religion nor is it a plot dreamed up by liberals to put the brakes on free enterprise. Global warming is going to continue whether you "believe" in it or not, just like the way the earth continues to orbit the sun, no matter how PO'ed the Catholic Church got over Gallileo's observations that didn't line up with what is written in the Bible.

So, go ahead and stay stuck in the dark ages with your fingers in your ears and a sack over your head. The laws of thermodynamics couldn't care less what you think, and the sun will still come up in the morning, just a little warmer than the day before.

Yet another whiner who tries to quietly substitute "global warming" for "manmade global warming" and try to get normal people to argue about the first (which isn't even an issue) instead of the second (which is a ludicrous falsehood).

Who can blame the whiners for trying to change the subject like this? They've always lost the debate on the actual subject, which is whether Man has any influence on climate change.

Sometimes the climate gets warmer.

And sometimes it gets colder.

That's been going on for as long as the planet has been orbiting the Sun. Or, as long as it's had a climate, at least.

And man has never had the slightest influence on it.

Even the leftist loons who scream about how we have to use government to change everything, go back to the stone age, etc., to prevent some unknown catastrophe, have never been able to come up with even ONE study or example that backs up their claims.

What's funny is that, when they do name some study, it invariably turns out to be nothing but a bunch of long-winded claims which, finally, refer to some other "study" for proof. And what is in that other "study"? You guessed it - more long-winded claims, and eventually a reference to yet another study. And you can guess what is in that one, too.

The leftist global-whatever loons have been insisting on impending doom, and the urgent need to give government massive powers to change every bit of our lives to "avoid" that doom, for at least 40 years by my count. Literally billions of dollars have changed hands - usually into their hands - all over the world. And they still haven't come up with one shred of proof that man has had the least bit of influence on the climate changes that happen regularly around us. Nor is there any proof that man can do anything to change it.

***40 YEARS*** of screaming, caterwauling, and doomsaying. All without the slightest proof. Just references to references to references, ad infinitum. And demands that they be given complete power over all of us, to change what they cannot change.

Is this a record?

(Probably not. Leftist loons have been with us a LONG time. )

Default "Doomsday Clock" paranoia still strong in a few circles, now with global warming thrown in

How about "throwing in" Global Banking?
