Tony Kushner on Climate Change

[willhunting1995]

Tony Kushner is a fucking moron!

[candygir7]

a dumb good look jew boy. lol

somebody tell him to sit down and shut up because he is talking nonsense. or he will say whatever he gets paid to say.

[VitalemRecords]

just make sure to put a "." where it says "(dot)"

[VitalemRecords]

I would like to know who you mean by a "kool-aid drinker"

The problem with the Global Warming issue, is that it is totally made up.

The temperature of the world has been much much higher in the past 1000 years.

One side or the other is going to profit big-time, no matter what decision is made.

It doesn't get much more corrupt than Al Gore, unless you bring up Dick Cheney-the Bushes.

What the fuck, you know?

What the fuck!?

[renumeratedfrog]

LOL, you can't be serious... When in the last 1000 years was the average world temperature higher? Please cite your sources that are different than your own ass.

theregister(dot)co(dot)uk/2008­/05/02/a_tale_of_two_thermomet­ers/

and on the second, you look "annual global temperature" at the area at around the year 1000

[renumeratedfrog]

Neither of your links works, but it doesn't matter. Your claim is clearly absurd, as there were no temperature records kept 1000 years ago. Scientific measurements of temperatures began only roughly 150 years ago.

[VitalemRecords]

well, you can take the second link, and it works just fine.

You have to take the (dot)'s out and put a "."

Also youtube will add spaces like after the 2008, and in thermometers.

you can go and compare it to any of the temperature readings that cover the past 150 years.

[renumeratedfrog]

Who is Stephen Goddard anyways? Just some guy with an opinion. There are thousands of scientists who say the opposite. So who are you going to trust?

[VitalemRecords]

Stephen Goddard is reporting on the past 150 years (which says the same thing that all other temperature reports say about the past 150 years). You have to look at the OTHER link and compare it to the Stephen Goddard one.

Go down to "Reconstructed Temperature", and look at the year 1000.

The temperature is shown to be exactly the same as it is now.

[VitalemRecords]

Would you trust "thousands of scientists" over the 30,000 scientists that are claiming Al Gore is committing fraud?

[renumeratedfrog]

As opposed to the 3 million that claim that Al Gore is right?

[VitalemRecords]

So now the number you put up has gone from "thousands" to 3 million.... where do you get that number?

[VitalemRecords]

yes, I meant to say look at the FIRST one, around the year 1000, it shows the temperature to be the same as it is now

[VitalemRecords]

It isn't just right wingers that think Global Warming is a fraud being perpetuated on the news over and over again.

And the people that are pushing the idea are only doing it out of GREED.

I acknowledge the fact that the right wingers that deny it are only doing it out of greed, but so are the leftists that are pushing for it.

The right wingers have their money invested in coal burning companies (and the like) and the leftist fascists like Al Gore pushed for it to pass cap and trade

[eldictator1]

It mostly is right wingers to be fair vitalem. You dislike the people pushing the idea because of "greed" (whatever that means) yet you fail to acknowledge the greed of oil companies. 4 of the biggest companies in the top ten of the world are petroleum. They make billions in profit every year. Now lets step aside from the issue for one second, I for one do not want to rely on foreign oil or pay the equivalent of $10 a gallon of diesel, I for one welcome energy saving measures and electric cars

[VitalemRecords]

I totally acknowledged the greed of right wingers.

I said "the right wingers have their money invested in coal burning companies (and the like)"

I totally welcome a new way to move a vehicle forward - it can't be that difficult.

Also, I said "it isn't just right wingers", I am fully aware that it is mostly right wingers that think Global Warming is a fraud.

There is no reason to believe Al Gore. EVER.

The guy said that NAFTA would be good for the US. The guy is a stooge.

[eldictator1]

I appreciate your honesty and your grievances with gore. I dislike the way the subject has become a right wing vs liberal thing with many of the key facts dropped, like the myth that scientists are only interested in greed and socialism, when the fact is that u.s funding has dropped.

[xmenrus]

Al Gore's family has been allied with (and made multi-mllions of dollars) oil interests around the world. His father was instrmental in selling oil to the Russians during WWII. Al Gore's ties to big oil are documented and goes back at least 70 years through his father, a former US Senetor.

In the winter the weather is cold. In the summer it's warm/hot. Now the ilitist want more control over our lilves (and make billions along the war selling carbon credits to the world): GLOBAL WARMING.

[Idlinfarm]

Thank you for this good intelligence. I'm so glad for men like this.

[renumeratedfrog]

I think it was very articulated expressed, but it's interesting that even he wasn't able to stop calling the GW skeptics as morons. I'm not saying they don't deserve the label, but it only serves to further alienate them.

[Dhimmicrats]

He's a play writer. Who cares what he has to say?

[cajal6]

Agreed. This was a rambling video, yet rather content-free. Why not get a scientist or economist or engineer to talk about the issue? They might have something novel to say.

[pinz2022]

@cajal6

I always assumed Tony Kushner was a paint-by-numbers, knee-jerk, brainless, full-of-himself Leftist. But this interview takes the cake.

This is ego and ignorance run riot.

[Drogoempedocles]

I've never heard of Mr. Kushner before, but he is very aware of the epic proportions of our problems as a global civilization. *****

[GrifterUno]

Which scientists is this moron listening to?!!...ans why are we listening to these uneducated idiots!!!...

Just because some university gives you a diploma and pump you full of useless information does not mean you are an intelligent human being!!!...Get your info straight!!!

[MrBankRuns]

this guy is a moron.

[xmenrus]

Well said. Mr. Kushner is building one idea on top of another based on a premise created by other minds. It's all BULLSHIT! This guy just rambles and rambles and rambles and the fellow travelers nod their head in agreement; not from any understanding but like the lemmings running over the cliff...It's the thing to do!

[Squarehead2008]

Profundity isn't really your gig, is it xmerus?

Most of us use "premises created by other minds."

[xmenrus]

Dumbhead: It was just revealed that global warming is a bit scam! They dropped all data out of the computer that didn't give the results they wanted? Didn't you hear about the thousands of e-mails that outed the phony results? YOU BIG DUMMY!

[xmenrus]

Shithead: You are a BIG DUMMY cool-aid drinker.

[Squarehead2008]

Your belief that "it's all a scam", and that 'you' understand this because you read some reports on the Univ of East Anglia (very minor scandal), does not indicate intelligence on your part.

You are a contrarian, who has to push your economically 'Right' beliefs to bolster whatever ego issues you have.

That you think you 'know'? Dear Oh Dear

You are an example of what Kushner is talking about. Your ego, your selfishness, does not allow you to find logic and truth.

[eldictator1]

Exactly, this has now become a political issue. The emails if a little worrying at first don't really change much, the four main scientists can not be held responsible for all data gathered and analysed over the past 150 years, there's is just one jigsaw piece

[911truthncDotOrg]

Tony Kushner surely only watches the main stream news. A playwright who has his head stuck in the sand.

[hamletundone]

tis nasty how the bankers can use people's noble desire to save the earth only to create a new derivatives market whereby they can crush the poor and solidify their control over all mankind....

[terpis]

A scenario i think the moneyed cons hold as an ace in the hole, on this:

the planet will not be a total, absolute, instant apocalypse. Almost surely there will remain pockets, oases of livable microenvironments...&, some cascading-down endtime to work with (while the wretched of the earth are left to their die offs)...these oases are where the fat cats see themselves retreating to. Storming, perhaps. Setting up their armed perimeters, and keeping on keeping on from there. Last men standing.
