My goodness, what a serious waste of time this is. Thank goodness our cable and satellite systems have hundreds of other (and better) choices for your watching pleasure.

Do we really need a telethon without a disease (unless that disease happens to be liberalism)?

Climate has changed over millions of years but never so rapidly. Where do billions and billions of tons of CO 2 we have released into the atmosphere go? C02 levels have risen since the industrial revolution and, generally, as cO2 emissions have risen so have temperatures.

How can one ignore the thawing permafrost, disappearing glaciers, record heat waves, melting ice caps, rising sea levels, worldwide drought, movement of species. etc. and say climate is not changing is beyond me. 97% of scientists have stated these changes all have an anthropogenic component.

The climate changes 4 time a year, year in and year out. Been doing so for BILLIONS of years. Do you think you can change it?
The WEATHER changes 4 times a year.

Climate does not.

Weather does not equal climate.

And yes, it's pretty obvious IMO, that we do have the ability to 'change it', for better or worse.

His predictions have come to pass. All the junk science and all the denial will not change that fact.

Millennials and the coming generations know we are playing dice with their future.

These Democrats say enough of compromising their future.
You can say all that, again!

Yes it is. The climate has always changed and it always will. We have to find a way to adapt to it.

Not true. It has changed rapidly many times. Just check the wiki page on abrupt climate change: "Several periods of abrupt climate change have been identified in the paleoclimatic record."

Has CO2 ever been higher than it is now? Be honest when you answer.


Melting Icecaps? You mean the ones with the underwater volcano's melting the ice......those icecaps?



No, 97% of scientist have not stated that, 97% of those that agree with climate change are saying that, not 97% of all scientist across the world.....think about that...

Now, I know your going to say, well this is a mid-term....prove what is stated is still not correct....


You stated it was STILL a concern for primary voters....prove yourself...
Sorry, but you are wrong..

Public awareness of global warming is up and support for action is broad, with eight in 10 Americans saying the federal government should try to achieve the same deep cuts in greenhouse gas emissions called for in the international treaty.
