They lecture us about climate change while they fly on private jets

The WH release on Global Warming pretty much says he is correct. Probably too late to change a thing in the short term, who knows about long term.

yep, the alarmists are the ones always calling for government action, either taxes, more regulations, or both. and again all the while the alarmists doing quite the opposite of what they keep calling for. sorry but if climate change were really the huge issue that the alarmists claim it is, then they should be the ones leading by example before trying to force everyone else to follow along.

If Brown was looking for an organization for brainwashing, he came to the right place.
