so what do you think the magnitude of $ gained vs lost is here, vis a vis the shadow clean energy cabal vs the petro-chemical titans? if Al Gore wanted to make real money, he'd be a lobbyist for Halliburton or some shit like that. you think this is his way to riches?Cole Younger wrote:Yes I did see your comment. I believe some of this. I just dont believe all of it. I've read up on it a lot and I honestly don't know how anyone who does and doesn't have an agenda can come away being a full on convert to the climate change cult (indulge me. I'm mostly just joking around with my choice of words there. The use of the terms "denier" and religious like rhetoric surrounding this both astounds me and cracks me up.)
Do I believe we have seen a rise in temperature? Yes.
Do I believe polution has contributed to that? Yes.
Do I believe that's the whole story? No.
Do I think we need to take common sense and cost effective steps toward cleaning g up where we can? Yes.
Do I believe we are on the precipice of the Apocalypse vis a vis any of this? No.
I don't buy the hysteria. People like Al Gore and others of his ilk are in this to make money. The scare tactics surrounding this are both amusing and sickening.
The folks screaming the loudest about this all have a vested personal interest and I aint talking about a cleaner planet when I say that. Some of power grabs by the government in the name of global warming are something to behold.
The thing is, a lot of folks have fixed opinions on this but not many of them have done much digging. They don't want to.
And finally, it a long, long way from being the overwhelming majority that is certain this all just like what the alarmists say it is. Some very respected scientists say something quite different.
I spend a lot of time outdoors. I am a big time hunter and fisherman (I just mean that I do both of those things a lot), I love to camp, hike, and kayak. I care about the environment. But I care about what is true as well.
do you have opinions on brain surgery too? done a lot of digging?
i'm glad that you care about the environment in your backyard. the world's a whole lot bigger.
maybe you, like Rick Perry and Pruitt, don't think that CO2 causes warming?
