The rest of us have to go out with it as well

or denying them all together, to now saying something like this.

The tide is turning on media denial, perhaps.

Maybe we wouldn't be in this mess.

because Jesus......and freedumb....

Most of our differences with conservatives, I can at least understand why we have different opinions, even if I think their reasons are ridiculous in the nicest way of putting it.

This one just really leaves me scratching my head, and going WTF???

I do get that many of them either don't believe climate change is happening, or if they do believe it is happening, don't believe it is man made, or they believe that god will protect them from any harm if it is real if they just prey hard enough (yes I did mean that misspelling).

Ok, so I get they they have no logic or reason.. But really, what I also get about them is that they LOOOOOVE 'merica. That they Hate dem foreign devils, especially those "terr'ists" (which, to them is 23% of the worlds population, or all Muslims.. they'd better hope that they are never right about that.. but I digress on tangent).

Why can't they realize that even if you take all of the benefits this earth would get from going clean and renewable, it would also make their dreams come true about true and complete energy independence?? Even if they don't have the sense of earthworm and completely disbelieve all scientific evidence, this is one of those things that just jumping on board would make their own twisted weird goals come true as well???? For fuck's sake, we go clean, and renewable everyone benefits!!!! Their corporate masters benefit, their children benefit, 'merica benefits, their sacred pocket books benefit.. it's a win.. win... win.. scenario, and they're hell bent on fighting it tooth and nail. I really just don't get it!!!!

We have very dangerous class in this country called billionaires. They are all criminals. You dont get rich by being honest. You get rich by inheriting your first billion and then usin that fortune to destroy every thing in your path. You must be ruthless.
I believe as long as we allow these criminals to continue their destruction, we are all doomed. As long as we drive our consumer crazy culture to the edge of the absurdity lest we become bored for 2 seconds, sooner or later, shit is going to hit the fan.

Allow them? Hell, we encourage them! Pretty much everyone wants a nice Return On Investment, and for their kids to live better than they did. If psychopathic leaders are the price we must pay for the Good Life, so be it!

Prior to that, this was talked about by the GOP leaders as recently as the 2008 campaign (prior to the Citizens United ruling of course.)

If your hope for campaign funds hinges on denying reality, you deny reality.

Check out this much under-noticed video collection of GOP Leaders including Sarah Palin, GW Bush, the Newtster, John McCain, etc.

We get to choose from the choices THEY offer our nation, and your world. And they see no reason to change anything as long as they are filling their pockets.

Many are not even in this country, but they control levers of power. They not only think they are immune to this, they are looking for ways to find more profit from our misery, and there are likely not enough people to make them change before the world is made uninhabitable for many people and animals.

I have to digest that.

or Canada. And enjoy Socialism!

I'm feeling as if I need some hallucinogens just to keep hanging on by my thread.

No surprises here for me or for you either. I'm glad my son decided not to have children.

Most reading this will not believe it.

I do think we have hope. But, only if we act asap and recognize this is a crisis. I am shocked that it's taken so long for CNN to wake the f__ up... but grateful it is finally happening.

promoted to be the brain.

So the message is, yes, climate warming is real, we are all going to die, so why bother to try?

That's a new one......

... as it has been consistently pushed by "certain sections of the public" for a while
(e.g., five posts before yours).

Some people think we will engineer our way out.
Some people are waiting for Jesus.
Both are about as likely to happen.
