Accuweather.com shows that the first day of 2010 in Copenhagen will have a balmy daytime high of -1 C. I'll bet they wish there really was Global Warming. They would do what they could to increase it!
This message is directed at the lowlife editors that write the headlines for this site . . .
It should not surprise anyone that the lowlifes that write the headlines for FORA.tv would go out of their way to mislead the viewer about the content of clips they, the headline writer lowlifes,PERSONALLY disagree with.
THEE central themes of this clip do NOT even approximate the two headlines/titles the FORA.tv lowlifes chose to put in our faces.
On this page the lowlifes entitled it with "COP15: House Republicans Deny Validity of Climate Science." In other words the viewer is already misled by the lowlifes into the lie that what the lowlifes call "climate science" is just plain "valid." Nice try lowlifes, you haven't fooled anyone.
On the Best of 2009 links page the lowlifes at FORA.tv entitled this clip, "US House Republicans Refute Climate Science at COP15."
Now, just so the lowlifes get it into their ignorant, arrogant chicken-little skulls, the theme of OUTRIGHT UNABASHED CORRUPTION by so-called climate scientists was one of THEE MAJOR themes of this clip. The other was the uselessness of cap-n-trade (and how REGARDLESS of the bigotry of lowlifes such as those at FORA.tv, carbon dioxide is NOT a pollutant and is NOT an "emission" in the sense that lowlifes spew that term).
You lowlifes at FORA.tv have about as much shame, or have about as much intrinsic capability for shame, as those lying trash filth at Hadley CRU (East Anglia). Indeed, you are so unethical that you have no idea what I just said.
It's refreshing to see our elected representatives keeping their eye on the ball, looking out for The United States, its people and its interests, both at home and abroad. I am pleased they have come to speak out and to observe the corrupt, inneffective bereaucrats that have jetted in to save us from ourselves.
I know that most countries have no problem with 10% unemployment rates (higher in most countries). In the United States, we find it unnacceptable. There is no individual liberty without economic freedom.
The bureaucrats at this conference mean nothing to me. I did not vote for any of them or ask my Senators or Congressman to cede any of their governing authority to people who neither live in the United States, nor give a damn about it. In fact, most of these people hate the United States. No serious person should spend even a moment on "climate change."
The United Nations wants the United States to "lead" on this issue in only one way - they want us to pay for everything or give up everything. Like all United Nations shake down attempts from the thug dictatorships and non-democratic states who whine the most, contribute the least and create the most problems in the world, thsi is another sham designed to redistribute the hard earned wealth of the American People. Well, I hate to tell you all this, but WE'RE BROKE! We have spent decades protecting the world and picking up the tab for mostr of the UN's expenses. If these countries want to save the world, they should pay their own way.
Perhaps the United Nations could help the folks in Darfur? Help the demonstrators in Iran gain their liberty? Help the folks in Afghanistan?
These same representatives of the far right also deny the earth is over 6,000 years old, evolution and science in general so why would we expect them to do some research to find out if the facts were there before creating their opinions.
How appropriate that the presentation was paid for by Chevron!
This is the same old Republican line...again. It does not matter whether man causes global weather instability or not. It is obvious that the oceans are warming up. We can measure that. It is obvious that the ice is melting all over the world, but it is especially bad at the extreme polar areas. If the ice melts, the ocean levels will rise. LOL...Even a Republican can understand that!!!
This debate is nothing more than a sham to promote narrow interests, such as
"clean coal" (does not exist) technology and Nuclear Power.
We all understand that there are economic implications to reducing emissions.
I watched this video hoping for specific refutations to the data on climate change but the talk was mainly focused on localized economic interests.
The title is misleading, for starters. As for the committee, I'm not convinced one bit they give a damn about the environment on a global level. Why is this committee even speaking at COP15?
member.
