[salvor1]

I wish John Coleman was on your distinguished panel. He's got a bridge to sell you.

liars, climategate, cap-n-tax, 23 trillion dollar crap sandwich. America will return one day --

DEFEAT OBAMA!! DEFEAT ACORN!!

@rzrbckgrl "Liars"? How so? Are you saying that inanimate devices, the instruments and methods used to gather measurements/data on the history of and current state of the climate are "lying"? Are you saying that the hundreds of thousands of scientists, around the world are "lying" about the results of their tests and research? And do you believe that icecores taken from the Arctic, which are 600,000+ years old. and give a window into the past are capable of "lying"? That's funny.

[TheEngineer801]

@rzrbckgrl Why should Obama be defeated? Because you watch too much TV and don't actually know what's going on in Washington DC? Have you ever read one single bill that was up for vote? Or do you think that FOX is going to tell you all you need to know? I think we should defeat ignorance, apathy, and lack of participation in our democracy. I think we should defeat fear mongering, hate, and corporations who lie for money.

@rzrbckgrl Defeat corporate media outlets whose business is driven by profit not journalistic duty. Defeat the corruption of government by big corporations. Defeat small mindedness and short shortsightedness. Defeat the degradation of our culture and collective mind. Defeat denial and cowardice in the face of real problems. Defeat greed. Defeat the disdain for science and nature. Defeat living ones life complaining instead of taking personal responsibility. Defeat ignorance.

@rzrbckgrl You do realize that "climate gate" was not real, It's what's called a false flag and avoids the real issue. Who hacked into the servers? Six committees investigated the allegations and published reports, finding no evidence of fraud or scientific misconduct.

China will not, India will not. America will, so welcome to the 3rd world USA.

[TheEngineer801]

@showaltermicro "3rd world"? Could you tells us what you mean? Are you saying creating new and innovative industries and bringing millions of new jobs to the US is a bad thing?

[showaltermicro]

But the jobs will not come to America. I can buy any green cheaper any day of the week from China. Every day any day. Jobs will not come to America with China making it far cheaper then we. China has all green jobs, not America. Not for many years to come. It is not new. If it were true- the jobs would be here now.

[TheEngineer801]

@showaltermicro Could you elaborate?

[showaltermicro]

@TheEngineer801 Also Pickens has 3 billion in windmills that he wants to sell for 1/2 price. Green is good on a small scale. I use solar PV all the time. Still , not worth the cost. Not going to make jobs in the US. Not for many years to come. If ever. Dont get me wrong - I like green, but green that works.

Gimme a break!

What are people going to do about Global Warming?

Are we going to strap rockets to the continent of Africa in order to realign earth to a more favorable orbit?!

Stupid anti-science Americans!

[TheEngineer801]

@sugarpuddin88 I have this book from the 60s, titled "Anti-Intellectualism in American Society". If you can find a copy I recommend it.. Because it tells me as a 30 something science major that, ignoring and being opposed to truth and reality is not a new phenomenon in America. While China and India are putting out the most graduates in science and engineering in the world the US has fallen behind. I think that is reflected in our current culture of entertainment, and ignorance.

[TheEngineer801]

@sugarpuddin88 Many Americans are very pro-science. After all, we would not have a modern life without it. It's science that gives us electricity, science that gives us food, and science that gives us all the gifts of a technological civilization. All the negativity surrounding the global warming debate we see is just flawed logic, fear, denial, and simple greed. The average consumer is vulnerable to fear mongering by polluter industries, and those industries are vulnerable fear of profit loss.
