freaking fascist liberals think a tax will cure everything

I don't think a tax would cure the stupidity, dishonesty, or lack of integrity that are the hallmarks of the American right. Nor do I think a tax would cure right-wing torture supporters of their cowardice.

agree. I just read the questions. LOL. that was about creating news not reporting it.

If they had called me, and started asking those questions, I would have stopped the poller and dressed them down for push polling.

Maybe 2/3 support protecting the environment but it is not likely 2/3 support human caused gw candidates.

2/3 of all people couldn't even identify a photo of the vice president.

2/3 of all people couldn't even find China on a global map.

Another ploy by the media to create reality out of fantasy. Just another creation of the media and their handlers like the 99% vs the 1%. Numbers have been hijacked and creatively weaponized by the obama administration and activists of all sort to make it appear opponents are in the minority.

So how is your candidate fighting human caused global warming?

How is success identified?

What will failure look like?

What is the economic cost for success and what will it cost each taxpayer?

When must preventative measures be in place before it is too late?

When should efforts be stopped so the earth doesn't start to cool?

What happens if the earth begins to cool as a part of its natural cycle and the hcgw effort to cool the earth combines with that cycle? What is the startegy in that case?

Those polls again that could even see the beating coming in mid terms. Democrats relied on the polls on issues that exit polls showed voters didn't really care about. The gay marriage vote in California was a shoe- in. Polls are so slanted now days they are pretty much useless.

Fascinating. How exactly do you delineate the two? Further, please prove it.

You should do some basic self-education before you inject yourself into discussions about things you don't understand. Obstinate ignorance is still just ignorance.

I don't think you know what the facts are concerning this matter. I imagine you're up on what denialist say the facts are concerning this matter, though. Do you think it's a hoax the way the superstitious liar Inhofe does?

First step is your acceptance that there is an ongoing climate change that should be a concern to all of us, and especially for future generations.

For the next step, you simply need to recognize the value of science, on how it can and does delineate various factors, human influence or otherwise. Have you done that?
