climate change?


The underlying assumption is that climate would not change but for man, the sun is irrelevant and that man can control this change. Everything that follows that is fantasy at best or more likely fraud.

this is copied from a typical response from the right. Of course man is partialy responsible. we pollute the air with our manufacturing at a much faster rate than nature.
a perfect example was china and the smog problem they had to address for the olympics.
My family were papermakers. we all know that until the fifties raw mill chemicals were dumped in the rivers;pulp logs were transported by booms along lakes,and by current in our rivers. the bark of these logs were full of acid and dioxin!
to say man has had no effect on the climate is like saying cows eat grass and give milk so therefore bulls eat grass so they must give milk!
clean up the earth vote out republicans

2. We have turned the a gagillion tons of fossil fuel into heat energy.
And burned millions of square miles of forests and woods.

Not even counting the chemicals involved, we have had the heater on for 50,000 or more years.

That heat is trapped in a container sealed by our atmosphere.

Guess what the result is?

3. here's a little more on the topic

the moderate voices. At the more extreme end of the spectrum, some accused researchers of selectively dropping only stations that showed cooling trends, and raised questions about whether the planet had warmed at all. These questions weren't very realistic—melting ice, migrating species, and other factors made it pretty clear the planet was warming—but the climate debate has no shortage of unreasonable voices.

4. the people are speaking Boehner, McConnell and Cantor(or is it can't do anymore)

After Occupying Oakland, California's port yesterday, the fifth largest in the US, there are plans to Occupy Iowa Caucuses in early January.

They plan to "occupy" Republican presidential candidate campaign offices as well as President Obama's campaign office until they "start talking real turkey about what's going on in this country, where the 99% of the people who are not benefiting, at the expense of the 1% who are getting away with murder."

Move Your Money Campaign - Bank Transfer Day

This Saturday, many thousands of people will move their money out of the "too big to fail" banks and into community banks and credit unions.

Besides the anger that people feel about big banks and their impact on our economy, they finance destructive projects that contribute to climate change, such as coal plants, oil pipelines in the Amazon rain forest, and clear-cutting primary forests.

Unlike mega-banks, community investing institutions serve local communities, providing loans to support affordable housing, small businesses, and social services. They often lend money to people overlooked by big banks, such as green businesses.

They don't engage in abusive and predatory banking practices, since they have a mission of building communities.

The Credit Union National Association (CUNA) reports that a whopping 650,000 Americans have joined credit unions since Sept. 29, that's a lot of people considering credit unions got 600,000 new members for all of 2010.

the people are realizing the big lie is from the right! the greed and the greedy are about to crumble!
unite and throw the puppets out of office!
