It's a most peculiar phenomenon. Go to any climate change thread on any message board, and see how they insist that climate change is a huge conspiracy, designed to line Al Gore's pockets.
Very odd, but not surprising.

The thing with wind, solar and geothermal is, people are greedy by nature.

Instead of doing it for the good of the earth, there is that one person(lol, just one... ha!) that is involved that sees dollar signs.


That make cost prohibitive.
Then they lobby congress for a subsidy, and whah-lah, they are rich with tax payers money.

I wonder if people who try to pass off some TV guy's blog as a reference just google "global warming" and reject hits until they find something that tells them what they want to hear, or if they just go directly to these blogs after being spoonfed the links on their favourite right-wing websites, taking them as "proof" of the right's claims because their favourite right-wing websites say so.

I'm guessing the second, as the first may expose them to information sources not endorsed by the likes of Limbaugh and Inhofe and Perry.

I do! Anecdotes aren't data.

Take whatever immature solace you need as you invariably, inevitably and pathetically wind up on the wrong side of history.

It's so contrary to any rational thought process I have to wonder if American schools are really that bad or if you guys try to push your silly blogs on us knowing they have no merit out of some weird devotion to a party full of torture-supporting religious know-nothing fools.

At some point, Al Gore comes up. It happens so often I can only conclude the right-wing opinion on the matter is not based on awareness of reality but some weird obsession with Al Gore.



Conspiracy theory nonsense unrelated to anything that matters. A weak attempt by the intellectually bankrupt to pretend right-wing garbage has merit.



I don't wonder, and you'd lose that bet.


Denial is not a river in Egypt. This isn't even right wing. The Progressive Republicans are in on it too.
Al Gore... You didn't read my post or research Maurice Strong, or you would not be so defensive.

Here is your conspiracy...........
He is the leader of climate change. He started it all.
Director of the Chicago Climate Exchange.
Oil tycoon.
UN corruption, in the Oil for Food scam.

Look at Ben Santer at the UN....
Direct friends with the Rockefeller family. Edmond Rothchild's right hand man.
They have schemed to have global taxes. George Hunt's name comes up too.... The EU and the EURO, The very Euro Bernanke gave 16 trillion to.
Global warming is a scam to take the world resources and further the New World Order.

Follow the MONEY!



Deny it all you wish. Educate yourself.
