No, because it works in

No, because it works in their own self interest. There's always cases of weather extremes and it makes juicy print and good "film at 11".

#3. It's a slam dunk! by

#3. It's a slam dunk!

by the way...I am starting to want to bring a law-suit to sue anybody who keeps this lie up...I am damned sick and tired of it, I also am sick of the msm rarely reporting the record breaking temps...they do this year after year..pretending this isn't happening in the NW...oh they may mention it once in a great while, but that is about it.

We are going to have this arctic freeze here for more than a week...just after we are getting back to normal with gas prices that hurt us a lot where we live, we have to travel daily...we now have this arctic freeze...the pump has to be going on and off 24/7 because you have to have all your sinks running with a trickle of water when it gets this cold here...ect...plus we are having to use the furnace, which we rarely have to do when it is normal winter temps....we are expecting temps to be down around 26 to 30 degrees or more below zero...

Global warming my arse....I am sick of this all with the filthy msm..we hear this daily...when any congress-critter uses that term I want to go through the screen and grab them by the nape of the neck, get in their face....and threaten to sue them...either these people need to start proving this BS with facts or get out of our lives...we are going to be taxed to death by this farce...as if it isn't bad enough now in the real world.

Put up...or shut up.

Its a slam dunk

Yes, bigtimer, I agree with you wholeheartedly.

My emotions about these scammers is driving

me crazy every time I hear about global warming

and see the temperatures dropping, dropping,

dropping.   What a farce.

Global Warming = Trojan Horse Tax Increases

We will pay greatly for the next liberal "save the planet cause".  Europeans are already starting to figure out how environmentalism is ruining their lives and economy.  And forget about the facts that the climate has been cooling for the last decade.  This year alone has seen record low temperatures around the world.  The added bonus for libs is the additional power given to politicians to decide which business are allowed to succeed and which ones fail through the tools of their fascist "cap & trade" program.  Most Americans are far too dumb to realize they are being duped as evident of the global warming cultists who can't see the facts through the smoke.

Winston Churchill ~ "Socialism is the philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy."

A combination: they'll keep

A combination: they'll keep trying but it will get less traction. I think the only people they're making headway with are the little captives in the public schools ("Mommy, my teacher sez we shouldn't have a cwothes dwyer") and even they lose interest around their sophomore or junior year.

With a Democrat in the WH,

With a Democrat in the WH, Democrat majorities in both houses and a soon-to-be liberal SC, the time to strike is now. This may be the best chance the media will ever have to help the Democrat party engineer the Euro-socialist America they've always dreamed of. It's a  'kick 'em when they're down' mentality -- one more reason to be cynical about the country and the current administration. Like Rush always says - all things bad or wrong with the country only serve to help the Democrats. The media are just doing their part like good little foot-soldiers. The long-awaited spectre of an unwary, unsophisticated American voter waking up every day to find a bad economy, unemployment, major industries and banks failing, an 'illegal war', a make-believe war on terror, and an out-of-control evironmental crisis that can only be solved by drastic decision-making and massive intervention on the part of world governments has finally arrived. Why should they ease off now?

Media interest in global warming scam

The left wing media will not let global warming go because it is more about control and domination of US citizens who every day are facing more and more regulation and rip off of our freedoms. We are now, thanks to Bush, a corrupt political system, left leaning conservatives and markist influences in our education system and media, a country that is deteriorating under lies and myths spread by propagandist. Wake up America. The time to revolt is NOW. The government and corporations have seized control and has ZERO interest in it's citizens. It won't be long and we will be speaking chinese or russian.

Obama to create economic holocaust with the EPA

It is only a matter of time before Obama unleashes the EPA and effectively destroys our energy infrastructure and any competitiveness our businesses still have through nazi eco legislation. Oh it's coming and I cannot wait to hear all the brain dead liberals crying not understanding what they voted for.

The First Green President (FOX News)

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is Not Pollution

Coal is King

largest revenue producer for the Class One Railroads is still coal. 50% of all electricity is generated by coal. BHO and his Greenpeace fanatics may try to hurt coal, however the billion dollar railroads will not let that happen, i pray. we must keep the faith: railroads will not be pushed around with nonsense.

Interesting site...

The media loves to scare the masses. 

The media says,"You must be warned of the this potential disaster! Fear [insert latest scary idea]!" 

Sometimes you've got to wonder why we need them.

Thanks for letting me vent.

I voted other, because I

I voted other, because I don't think option 3 goes far enough:  They will insist that we must "sacrifice" the economy even more to make sure the environment is ok, cheerleading for higher gas (and everything else) prices in hopes that everyone will consume less, "saving" the earth.

On the other hand, I think most of the public will reach a point where their own economic prosperity becomes much more important than "saving the earth".  Hopefully sooner rather than later.

This too shall pass.

I recognize your right to believe, without ridicule, that there is no God.  I do not recognize any right for you to ridicule my belief in God.

If they

If the EPA really wanted to do something to save the environment, they could stop these companies who send catalog after catalog after catalog that you never wanted or requested.  Somehow they find our names and send us all this junk mail. 

 

"If we conservatives moved to those seven non-existent States, the government couldn’t find us and tax us to death!" 

It has to be discussed until the MSM...

...has something to replace global warming with (analogous to the transfer from the hole in the ozone layer to global warming).

I voted for #3.

Not only are they up to their eyebrows in left environmentalism, the only time they are interested in the health of the economy is when it is ailing and the republican's are in power.

Like right now.

Will work for beer.

I Voted 'Other'

...because the members of the MSM are too dimwitted AND egotistical to understand how economically disastrous enviro-nitwit-ism would be. Just read AP-Obama's Seth Borenstein's recent hysteria-laden "global warming as ticking time bomb" article.

No, those closet leftists/socialists are salivating over the incoming Democrat Congressional majority with a go-along-to-get-along Democrat President with the idea that they will go full speed ahead on all their favorite policy positions and undo all the good things that have occurred starting with President Reagan.
