Well, you did not talk about his best argument – the medieval warm period
and the “little ice age” happened a long time before industrialization.
And you guys are sooooo unbiased.
Idiot
Exponential population growth, car production & use, and energy usage
resulted in exponential carbon in the atmosphere throughout the last 100
years: essentially ZERO, negative global warming.
If you don’t understand this proof then you must be bad at logic and math.
Look up and see what exponential means and how it works.
See Dr. Don Easterbrook who, by the way, has 50 years of experience in
science and is spot on with his prediction:

Does anyone have anything to say that doesn’t devolve into ad hominem
attacks?
Do these people think we have another Earth just sitting and waiting in
case we fuck up this one? Their fucking ignorance hurts my brain.
Climate change is real. The hoax is the government and silly liberals think
it can be stopped by spending money and taxing the people of America and
other countries. I don’t care if you spend every dollar from every country
it will not stop it. Climate changed killed the dinosaurs. It is a natural
cycle of the planet. THERE IS NO CURE . WAKE THE FUCK UP STUPID PEOPLE. Man
cannot stop climate change. The polar ice is melting, and guess what they
found under the ice. FUCKING COCONUT TREES. Do coconut trees grow on the
polar ice caps? NO THAT MEANS AT ONE TIME THE SOUTH POLE WAS WARM. WARM.
WARM. Guess what its going to melt and get warm again. This is all bullshit
lies from tree hugging nut cases. I burn oil for heat, I put 26 gallons of
gas in my crewcab GMC Sierra 4×4. I cut trees down for wood to burn in my
fireplace, and grill ribeyes on charcoal. Why? Because I can, this is still
America and I am free to choose. If you green pussies want to drive a
battery car, then do it and shut the fuck up. If you want to grill a ribeye
on a solar grill, do it. Just leave everyone else alone.
CENK SUCK MY DICK.
Show less
Anyone else hear a high-pitched ringing when the Fox clip is playing?
so about that canada pipeline…. either America accepts the pipeline and
gets oil from a friendly nation, orrr America declines the pipeline, canada
builds the pipeline to the west coast to ship to China, and we continue
buying from unfriendly nations… hmm…
what a tough choice…
I love the Glenn Beck style leading questions you always put in the titles
of these things:
‘Laughably Biased or Fair & Balanced?’
‘Tragedy Porn or Valid News?’
‘Brutal Kitten Rape or Harmless Fun?’
The US politicians have their reason for supporting the Global warming hoax
which supports chem trailing. The sun has gone in to hibernation & is
cooling. In the next two years we should see the results of this.
Apparently, chem trailing (poisoning the air), fluoridating the water &
permitting poison fillers in food sold in the grocery stores is slow but
very effective at reducing all life (i.e. trees, plants, bushes, fish,
birds, animals, humans) on earth. The US & Australia are currently planning
to add a new GMO vaccine to the chem trailing which will be “good &
healthy” for all humans. Will it be true medicine good for humans & all
life affected by chem trailing or something that will kill everything very
fast? I once believed Geo-engineering was a short-sighted attempt at curing
the ills of global warming while destroying the ecosystem. What I have come
to realize is that it is evidently an intentional mercy killing of all
living things on this planet. Why are the Elite intentionally sterilizing
earth to a point of uninhabitability? After much research, I believe it has
to do with madness of the NWO psychopaths & their quotas & disasterous
occurences which will happen to earth (i.e. world-wide food shortages,
starvation) which will occur as a direct result of chem trailing. It may
seem unbelievable but with 500 years of advanced technology at their hands,
the Elite & their quota of life will leave the planet, never to return.
They have filled all their quotas of life & the rest of life, which they
see as a threat to themselves, will be destroyed in the not to distant
future. They don’t want to leave any witnesses to their mass genocide &
that is what our politicians & Obama are supporting.
I hate these psycho. They are balancing “Oh, we can destroy the world to
make money with oil and fracking, or can we can make affordable alternate
energies and save the world…. Lets go with money.”
Whenever they have discourse about the “economy”, “Improve the economy”
“expand the economy”…. THEY ARE TALKIING ABOUT LETTING BUSINESS MAKE MORE
MONEY AND CONTROL MORE.
They have absolutely no interest in letting the common American citizen
gain monetary wealth and power. NONE. They fuck over worker rights, write
legislation forcing you to buy through a dozen middle men and force the
cost of living through the roof. Corporate America has more money now than
they have ever needed in history, yet it continues to cost us more and more
when they continue to make more and more.
They are saying it directly to our face. Their WANT of more money is more
important than all of our futures. And people blindly except that.
What a bunch of pompous shits….more evidence that the right-wing just
doesn’t accept science, when over 95% of the world’s scientists agree that
mans actions are causing climate change I’ll go with them, and leave the
nay-sayers at Fox to sit in a circle as they take it in turns to read the
chicken bones……morons.
It’s the sun stupid, other planets in our solar system are mirroring the
changes happening on Earth, and the only ‘normal’ when it comes to climate
is ‘change’ itself. All the same dire predictions were made by the same
kind of scammers 30-40 years ago and none have ever come true, New York is
still above water. Stop letting yourselves be duped by rich lib hypocrites
in private jets, yachts, and limos who want more of your money and freedom.
How could humans change the weather when they can’t even predict the
weather more than a few days out locally?
How can right-wingers say that climate change is a hoax invented by the
democrats when nobody in the democratic party seems to be interested in
doing anything about it? What kind of weak-ass conspiracy theory is that?
“Destroy the whole fucking planet? Are these people kiddin’ me?!” – George
Carlin, a wise man. The planet will be fine. It’s us who will be fucked,
don’t go to the “destroy the planet” route. We’re interested in our own
living standards, nothing more. (and if it’s more, you’re plain delusional)
I love the argument that global warming is a “rich men’s issue”, the US is
the RICHEST country on Earth, if America doesn’t do something about it who
will then? fucking Pakistan?
“A dramatic melt-off of Arctic sea ice due to climate change is hitting
closer to home than millions of Americans might think – triggering a domino
effect leading to increased odds of severe winter weather outbreaks in the
Northern Hemisphere’s middle latitudes, according to new research.”

I hope that people remember all these pundits names, so that, if they’re
still alive by the time the Earth is fucked up beyond salvation, they are
hunted down by the remnants of a post-apocalyptic hunter-gatherer
civilization.
TURNS OUT. The data does NOT support global warming at the rate
pro-environmental people stated. The amplifiers are not amplifying.
Instead dampeners are lessening the rate of change.
Global warming, man made? NOPE. Cycles are always happening – there is also
evidence that we are heading for a new ice age.
The whole climate debate is laughably biased in favor of climate change
hysterics with their “consensus.” The Earths climate has always fluctuated
& has resulted in the extinction of countless species since life began on
the planet. Man will be no different. The climate will continue to rise &
fall far beyond our passing.
Cenk that’s not “totally and utterly untrue”. It’s half right. Many
climatologist believers have been scrambling to explain why the rise in
temperatures has fallen so remarkably short of their predictions.
In fact, it would probably be too much to call these people “scientists”
because when you have to make up theories to support your previous theory
which turns out to be inaccurate, that’s called a confirmation bias. And
that’s exactly what these climatologists are doing by dogmatically adhering
to their old global warming theories despite the evidence that they could
in fact be wrong.
“destroy the whole planet” “die in the long run”, yeah Cenk that’s really
scientifically literate of you. This is why I hate this debate, either one
has to agree with the crazy republicans who care nothing but capitalism and
robber baron politics or one has to side with these Malthusianists who
still dwell in this idiocy about how the planet is fried and destroyed
unless we adopt their miracle proposals (that when you actually make the
maths don’t do much at all).
Oil companies vs Paul Erlich stuff? Is this the limit of any sensible
conversation Cenk? Are you really unable to understand the climate and the
“control” we have over it is way more complex and nitty gritty stuff than
you can possibly imagine?
Creating wealth for who?
Future generations will look back at this one and say, “What a bunch of
ignorant assholes.” And they’ll be right.
The icecaps/glaciers could all melt, sea levels rise, ridiculously high
climate temperatures, category 5 hurricanes hitting the US and these idiots
will still be denying or questioning the existence of global
warming/climate change. [See Day After Tomorrow]
Thank you Cenk for being you. I don’t know what I’d do if you weren’t
around to set these Fox “News” idiots straight!
Here’s the funny thing about George Will: in a sane world, I’d dismiss him
as a lunatic. But in *this* world, in today’s America, I listen to him
carefully, because he’s just about the most sane conservative I can find…
about one time in five he says something that, with some assistance and
touching up, is actually a reasonable point worthy of paying attention to.
.
Will’s “Climate changes all the time” is about as sane as finding a corpse
face up on the sidewalk, with a big knife sticking out of its chest, and
saying “Well, people get skin cuts all the time.” What we’re doing to the
climate is a wee bit more than a skin cut – it’s a knife through the heart.
And although it’s true that skin cuts happen by accident all the time, this
knife-through-the-heart skin cut was a human deed that didn’t need to
happen and could’ve been avoided if a human being had chosen otherwise.
.
But what Will said here about the economics is correct – after you make it
sane by removing his silly clause that the objective must be “… to have
zero discernible effect on the environment”. The goal isn’t to make global
warming vanish. The goal is to act so that its impact on the human race,
*ALL* things considered, is as small as possible. Will is correct that it
would be a mistake to cause the global economy to collapse in order to make
our CO2 emissions 0. But it would also be a mistake to do nothing, as the
eventual costs of global warming would eventually become exorbitant. And
the reality is this: the human race WILL eventually be forced to spend to
cut our CO2 emissions, and the total cost then of both the cuts and the
impacts of global warming will be worse the longer we wait. It’s a
pay-me-now, or pay-me-MUCH-more-later situation – and in such a situation,
the rational choice is always to pay the smaller amount starting NOW. So,
with a little cleaning up, what Will is driving at is ultimately the
correct question. The genuine grown-up rational question here is deciding
how much we start paying now. We don’t want the porridge too hot or too
cold – we want it just right, so that the total burden of global warming’s
impact on the human race is minimized.
It was cold today.
Global Warming DEBUNKED!
Like good welfare queens they are, the left think that everything that the
government does costs no money. Everyone on the idiotic left just looks at
the cost of the potential warming, but they don’t look at.
(a) The benefits of global warming such as increased worldwide agriculture
production, and
(b) the cost of mitigation versus the cheaper cost of simple adaptation,
and
(c) the fact that the amount of total warming that was predicted was
grossly overestimated.
(d) Peak oil production was reached 15 years ago and now is on a steady and
slow decline. Fossil fuels will likely be limited to coal and natural gas
within 20 years as the cost of fossil fuel energy goes above the cost of
renewables.
So, even if there is a fossil fuel problem, our time with them as the
primary provider of energy does not have long to go, at least in the United
States. Trying to strongarm the free market is pointless given all of
these things, it will only put extra unnecessary strain on the economy.
I’m kind of new here, but in January didn’t someone report record heat in
Australia?
love it how the US is the entire earth… While the US was getting show
Australia was getting plus 120 degree record heat.
