Humankind has been burning carbon based fuel since first cavemen learned to rub two sticks together in the 1981 movie "Quest for Fire". With little to no deleterious effect to mommy earth.

  The entire economy of the planet, ney man's entire existence depends on carbon based fuels right now.

  It is all about the carbon cycle, we take carbon out of the ground and pump it into the air in the form of carbon dioxide. The argument should be how much good we are doing the planet by ramping up the carbon cycle not trying to shut it down.

  Hopefully I did not offend anyone with this post.

My youngest kid asked me about climate change the other day and wanted to know what "we're" going to do about stopping it.

I told him: "There’s nothing we can do to stop the climate from changing. We live in a dynamic universe in which EVERYTHING changes. The climate is going to change, just as it always has. I suggest you learn to live with it."

We can only hope that when the S#!T hits the fan, these kids see that they and others have been duped into believing the propaganda. It happens every generation. Unfortunately some boomers are still drinking the cool-aide and passing it on to their kids.

What are the legal issues with having your family promote propaganda that furthers your business financially?

The schools are already doing this. Thank God I graduated before the teachers started with the global warming hoax. When I was in school, some of the teachers were pushing Michael Moore's anti-Bush agenda and the anti-gun agenda. The empty ideology of diversity was being pushed more than anything and it drove me nuts. We even had an entire day at school called "Diversity Day" where we listened to seminars from a gay couple, indians complaining about mascots, and a dozen other things that we were forced to choose from. Instead of 4-H now we have environment cults taking over.

There is absolutely no hope for America's future if schools are allowed to force their agenda on developing minds. After high school it gets even worse in college. Just look at all the mindless college students that support Obama.

The tax & spend drug war looks racist in the real world.

I doubt many know, nitrogen makes up about 80% of the atmosphere, oxygen makes up about 20% of the atmosphere. It's what's left we are debating.

Yeah I know, it's over 100% but, it's hard to make the case for 0.038% CO2, maybe that's why they use 380 parts per million instead.

Can you imagine, all Earth's plants live on the 0.038% CO2.

I'm here in Silicon Valley and have a first row view of the VC-infused hysteria.  Think about it, VC firms have much to gain from propagating the hysteria given their substantial "Green portfolios".  While they are still looking to make sound investments with good growth potential, creating a hysteria which will accelerate that growth is in their interest.  Hence, the "green-everything" VC events wherever you turn in the VC comunity.

It is NOT a coincidence that Goracle joined a VC....

Ecofascism, I wonder if they are going to be taught it's meaning?

Speaking of  brainwashing, here is an article about some people that feel they are experts in the field.  Remember reading about how the Soviets used to send “uncooperative” people to psychological evaluations?

From USA Today, and from Powerline News:

"American Psychological Association getting into the global warming game"

 …”Armed with new research into what makes some people environmentally conscious and others less so, the 148,000-member American Psychological Association is stepping up efforts to foster a broader sense of eco-sensitivity that the group believes will translate into more public action to protect the planet. ”We know how to change behavior and attitudes. That is what we do,” says Yale University psychologist Alan Kazdin, association president. “We know what messages will work and what will not.”…

…”By editing CNN and PBS news stories so that some saw a skeptic included in the report, others saw a story in which the skeptic was edited out and another group saw no video, Krosnick found that adding 45 seconds of a skeptic to one news story caused 11% of Americans to shift their opinions about the scientific consensus. Rather than 58% believing a perceived scientific agreement, inclusion of the skeptic caused the perceived amount of agreement to drop to 47%.

American Psychological Association leaders say they want to launch a national initiative specifically targeting behavior changes, including developing media messages that will help people reduce their carbon footprint and pay more attention to ways they can conserve. They want to work with other organizations and enlist congressional support to help fund the effort.”

…”Vakoch says more research is needed to encourage greater sensitivity to the natural world.

"We are recognizing that environmental problems have a tremendous impact on many aspects of our lives, but we need a lot more work," he says. "We can't afford to let this increased environmental concern become just another fashionable trend."

No, we must enlist the help of congress to pass laws making it unlawful to be "ungreen".  These people are watermelons!

Oh, this is just fantastic.  Now the larvae of the eco-parasites are starting to eat into the host.  When will we ever learn?  You're supposed to snuff out filthy pests before they have a chance to multiply.
