Hearing on Youth Leadership on Global Warming: Lockwood

[bootylicification]

2/2 Cap and Trade (American Power Act) would increase taxes on the average household up to $3200 according to the RNC gas prices increase by $2.58 a gallon according to George C. Marshall Institute. With Obama demanding the cessation of offshore drilling gas prices are expected to increase yet another $5 a gallon, because we would grow dependent upon foreign nations we are not allies with in order to provide our oil. They would price gouge w/ gas prices increasing to $10/gal!

[bootylicification]

1/2 Leading Climate Scientist John R. Christy researched two independent data sets, weather balloon and satellite. He found from this information gathered from the bulk of the atmosphere that climate change was neither catastrophic nor anthropogenic. He also stated that increase in surface temperatures in the cities were because of pavement, concrete and structures. It’s not the result of greenhouse gases.

[yallsostoopid]

@bootylicification Do you believe in greenhouse gases and their effects at all?

[bootylicification]

@yallsostoopid

.

Me personally. I think there negligible. Furthermore there's only so many barrels of oil in the world eventually we'll have to switch for another source of energy. Greenhouse gases are good for the environment, because they help plants grow. Life on Earth will survive what we do to it.

[yallsostoopid]

@bootylicification So I have two questions: Do you think that the near doubling of atmospheric CO2 since the industrial revolution is a reflection on human activity? And, do you think this increase will have absolutely no effect on the mean climate?

[Bifrons]

The climate would change even if human beings didn't exist. The global warming movement is BS at best.

[dquijano]

I am glad this debate is finally over. What a disgrace.

[Bifrons]

@dquijano and the global warming scam has been exposed.

[QC24French]

Its a shame that because of global warming the natives living in the upper northern territories of Canada and Alaska are the first ones to suffer. They have a great culture and should be protected.

[motoxman970]

coastal erosion??? wtf do u thinks gonna happen when waves are crashin up against the shore...ur food is gone because ur overpopulating the earth...too much huntin...not enuf self control...lose ur culture?? from global warming...either she believes this bullshit or shes just milkin it

[raleighl]

fuck you asshole, the total alaska population is 686,000 people, and the natives population has remained steady for thousands of years.

These people are losing every aspect of their way of life because of Climate Change, and Palin won't even give them the satisfaction of recognizing the problem is real in her own state.

[motoxman970]

all u know is what one side has told u..use ur brain...think openly to everything even if u dont like the other side..look into climategate which u probably havent heard of...u assume global warming is true because of what everyone has said and cuz it makes sense but u dont have a degree in climatology so for all u know they could have bsd the whole thing...it is UNPROVEN to this date..there is NO way to calculate the global temperature cuz differences can be as small as .00001 degrees per yard

[motoxman970]

also look at the tilt of the earth the current of the ocean as the warm water travels from the equator to the poles...there are so many different factors..u my friend are uneducated and therefore what u think u know is just what uve heard which has got thousands of scientists disagreeing with it and only the government scientists side with it...and the population increases exponentially over the years so dont pull that bullshit...please do some research or keep ur fuckin mouth shut

[raleighl]

A 22 year old challenging climate science! That's actually shocking. Tell me, did you graduate college, do you study environmental science?

[motoxman970]

dont assume my age ..i actually did take environmental science cuz my generation is held to a high standard to make us more "well rounded"...i have done research on this myself...there is no technology available to calculate the average temperature globally...also being in math and knowin that the temperature differs slightly every yard it would be IMPOSSIBLE to calculate the average without making a miscalculation especially with numbers in the decimal area. research it b4 askin me

[raleighl]

what about factors such as pumping billions of tons of CO2 and methane into the atmosphere every year? I'm pretty sure that has something to do with increasing greenhouse gases you DOLT.

[motoxman970]

during the industrial revolution there were no standards on emissions so it was open emissions to the air which is 10x worse than the emissions we put out today...so y wasnt the temperature higher then...then in 1976 they introduced the catalytic converter which cut down emissions by 50% and the smog levels dropped significantly..we are tested for emissions too...so the effects would have been greater in the past 80 years than they would now...u cant just know about climate...u have 2 no history

[raleighl]

Two simple answers....

1. C02 from industrial output doesn't reach its full warming potential in the atmosphere until decades after it is released.

2.  During the height Industrial Revolution (1900), there were about 1.7 Billion people on earth, and only the U.S and Europe had gone through Industrialization...

Now, EVERY country on earth and 7 BILLION people want to go through the same horribly polluting process to get a western lifestyle.

I know my history, and you make shittiest arguments

[motoxman970]

full warming potential?? didnt know a compound had that type of chemical property...the 1.7 billion people had no regs on emissions...open chemical combustion with no catalyst to convert the harmful toxins=massive amounts of CO2. CO2 from any emission is always the same..there is no change in the chemical or physical property so it will have the same effect comin from a car or factory...u may know ur history but u completely bullshitted ur chemistry

[motoxman970]

+ the rate at which they r sayin the average temperature is rising would have been noticeable by now after 100 years the average temperature has fluctuated up and down giving a happy medium..how can u say the temperature is increasing if the summer in 2007 was hotter than 2009's summer.how can u say the ocean level is rising if uve never been to the beach?how can u say the ice caps are melting if uve never seen them?all the statistics are coming from government agencies.none from outside sources

[shorty3000]

Let the melodrama soap operas begin ...

global bs ... before everyone is sucked into the 60's earthday ecology trip all over again.

Is anyone bothering to review the opposing views by other scientists on this issue?

[annscann]

Always with the mocking of a citizen actually wanting to contribute to their society. Yeah, this chick is emotional. But I guarantee that no matter what she said, you would still take issue with it because it has to do with the environment. I understand this stuff can come off as whiny and attention-seeking, but jesus christ... must we make everything into a culture war? For example, your comment pissed me off, but I don't stamp a label on you and everything you represent. B/c I don't know you.

[poopstreek]

You must be pretty weak annscann. That comment merely asks for a debate, but I guess that pisses you off.

[hemirj]

i've been to the small village where she is speaking of and these are icredible people. they don't complain about not having the "luxeries" that we take for granted, they live off the land. cudo's charlee! i wish you and your village well!

[EGReuter57]

Complete nonsense. Notice all the 'other' useful idiots(25 and under) in the crowd. Real critical thinkers this lot.

Kyoto was(is) a complete fraud. One day these young stooges will aquire true wisdom and see just how manipulated they have been. But then there will be a whole new crop of 'sprouts' for Leftists to exploit.

Big surprise that Speaker Pelosi sponsered this drivel.

[grazon]

Sounds like someone hates it when anyone disagrees with them.

[JonThm]

CO2 deos not alter the climate. It just makes plants and animals multiply! It si teh ags of life!

[chaska773]

thank you so much for speaking from your heart and crying the tears of the earth and of our ancestors. in the last 100 years things have really sped up on the earth and we are praying that people will Wake up and learn how to live in harmony while we still have a chance. blessings and protection to all indigenous people.

aloha from kauai

[jarlragnar]

what an ignorant CHILD

[chaska773]

ignorant? she sounds WAY more educated that you! it would serve you to study the indigenous way a bit and understand that native people know how to live off of the land and in harmony with the land rather than just to be lazy and greedy and pollute like most people in the US

[flying45rabbit]

do you support people to practice the hunting of whales?

[chaska773]

i support people living in harmony with the land. here in hawaii we are working to STOP a fast huge ferry which has high potential to kill whales, just so people can travel. however, if a people sustain their tribe by harvesting an occasional whale, who are we to judge that?

[chaska773]

flying rabbit, do you grow your own food or buy it from a store? humans in 'first world' nations have gotten so far away from the basics of being human. i would love to live a healthy life and kill no animals, yet if people must do that to live in harmony with the environment where they are, i respect that, not judge it as wrong.

[comtededominiique]

Power to the indigenous my sister. My heart breaks for you.

<3 dom.

[grazon]

ALL HAIL THE OPINION OF THE FOUNDER OF THE WEATHER CHANNEL.

Please ignore what 90%+ of relevent nobel prize winners say.

[RacerXGTO]

Nobel "Peice" prize is a joke. Gorbechev has one, Yasir Arafat has one, Mr. Peanut Carter has one. They give them to idiots anymore.

[grazon]

What part of "relevent nobel prize winners" did you fail to understand?

[doughpro]

You may as well since you global-warming fanatics ignore the experts who disagree with the scam. You want to waste your money on carbon credits (which, if your pea-brain actually put some thought into it you would realize the program has absolutely NO EFFECT on anything except making Algore and his fear mongers more money). Smarten up.

[grazon]

That's right keep ignoring what 90%+ of relevent nobel prize winners say.

[comtededominiique]

It is actually 96%+

[JonThm]

We should NOT teach our children fiction, and say it is true! Global WArming is not even good fiction!

[chaska773]

wow. hope you people wake up! check out a movie called the planet and another called the future of food. if you really have kids and care about them, it is time to make some serious changes on this planet or humans will go extinct~!

[RacerXGTO]

I think I know where these Global Warming loonies stem from. I remember seeing pictures of hippies running around naked with long hair and no civilized life. Today, these same people are telling us to turn back the clock of progress and live in the dark ages because of this hoax called Global Warming.

[RacerXGTO]

So right now, America is paying steep prices for energy because these same loonies have clamped the United States domestic energy supply. Energy is something a civilized country needs to grow and the USA has no new refineries, no new nuke plants, just pipe dreams of alternative energy that is expensive to buy and not in plentiful supply.

[RacerXGTO]

Then, to add insult to injury, the US government will not releive the huge amount of taxes on energy and have the GALL, the ABSOLUTE GALL to tell us that corporate America is responsible for stiffing Americans with high prices.

[RacerXGTO]

I, like many other people in this world see Global Warming as a political agenda. Everything about this Global Warming business is a political quest for control and this is why 'global warming' has been dubbed the worlds biggest hoax of the century.

[RacerXGTO]

The environmentalist movement, ie, the Sierra Club and all these other global warming hoaxers out there are a cancer in America. They are crippling the United States to its knees in the arena of energy supply. Which parallels greatly with the U.N.'s Kyoto scheme to cripple the USA even more. Thank goodness there are a few sane people in Washington(Mr. Bush) that have refused to sign it!

[RacerXGTO]

All of these cancers must be cut out of the USA. What other countries do with their land is up to them, but the USA will not be a great country under the guise of these loonies.

[RacerXGTO]

Right now. I am very pissed off at the environmentalist movement. I'm paying close to $4.00 a gallon for gas, when I really should be paying .87 cents for a gallon of gas. The amount of energy that exists in America is plentiful to bring it down to that price. Explore, drill and uncap America's oil wells and the prices of MANY things in America will come falling down.

[RacerXGTO]

TO: the environmentalists and tax creators in the USA, do not proceed to piss in my Cherios and tell me the Oil Companies are doing it.

[grazon]

Bush an oil man is President and you're blaming the environmentalist movement for the high prices?

[RacerXGTO]

You're not worth the debate. You don't even understand economics supply and demand. Get out of here, thank you for playing.

[Mikeishere1st]

"An oil man" - what are you smoking? When was the last time anyone was ALLOWED by democrats to drill for new oil or build a new refinery in the USA??? THEY and RINOS are the ones limiting SUPPLY - not Bush. Democrats are heavily invested in oil and are getting rich as the price goes up. Research Kennedy and Gore regarding Occidental Oil for example.

[jscottupton]

Oh yeah...let's listen to a crying, emotional 18-year-old, who is obviously an EXPERT on global warming. Forget about the people that have spent their whole life studying climate (many of whom dispute the man-made warming theory). This is a waste of time.

[RachelAvalon]

Ultimately, it doesn't matter if you think global warming is a hoax or not because trashing our environment still affects issues such as asthma, birth defects, and CANCER.

Learn more with my videos on eco-cleaning and eco-driving.

BTW, the people who are "taking your money", more than anyone else by far, are the big oil companies who not only produce gas, but loads of plastics, and petroleum by-products.

Shine on!

[Ductapecrazyglue]

Man made Global Warming is a fraud and a hoax.

Don't get sucked in. It's just a scam to take your money and your freedom.

[BigRichardMan]

dido

[agntagnt]

*****BREAKING NEWS******

A recent study showed an ocean water increase of only 2 degrees can unlock enough frozen methane to destroy cities all around the world with the same power of a Hiroshima Atomic bomb.

While many experts around the world are quick to point out that there is no evidence of similar explosions during past warm periods, the AGW scientists say they need more funding to investigate the matter further.

[Ductapecrazyglue]

That is what this scam is all about, more funding. Oh yes and making you drive a Yugo while Algore flies around in a private jet.

[agntagnt]

Im glad you saw my sarcasm...

PS Duct tape and Crazy Glue are great affrodiziac's LOL!!! Just a joke guys

[JonThm]

Don't teach kids virtual science - lies by another name!

[Mikeishere1st]

HELLO! NASA IR satellite data shows that earth's average tmperature hasn't increased since 1998 even though SUV's continue to spew gigatons of nasty CO2, (the stuff that those evil green plants like to have). Melting glaciers in Garibaldi Provincial Park, Canada reveal 7000 year old remains of FORREST TREES. Hmmm? Must have a lot warmer back then but without human CO2?

[grazon]

HELLO! your full of shit.

[BigRichardMan]

HELLO! you ignorant!

[grazon]

You're the ass claiming the earths average tmperature hasn't increased.

[JonThm]

There is only 0.00037% CO2 in the air, below the natural level in the Jurassic, when there was 60% more life on Earth, and sea levels were 65 meters lower.

[flying45rabbit]

well change is a scary thing, but she surely didnt think it would stay that way forever did she?

[JonThm]

CO2 does not contol the climate! Neither do emissions. Plant growth does.

[wilbert1755]

She forgot to mention ..I am also a member of the WWF and I have gone to Al Gores school of GW Indoctrination..ooops!

[JonThm]

Has nobody taught you how to edit 'ERms' out?

[AgnesBojaxhiu2000]

and as for the children ... even though some will get upset when the wild polar bears drown and die off after the polar ice cap at the north pole completely melts ... and others will get upset when the wild penguins die off after the polar ice cap at the south pole completely melts ... many children will still join the many hitler youth groups ... i mean the young republican groups ... because there always will be some children who could care less about polar bears or penguins

[Ductapecrazyglue]

Hitler was a Democrat. Nazi stood for National socialist. That means Democrat.

[RacerXGTO]

If you want to see what a Democrat runned society is like, you need to look no further than California. Dems have complete control in California.

You look at the situation in California and ask yourself, are you really ready for HIGH TAXES on almost everything? HIGH HOME PRICES? Large overbearing government control? Look at the lifestyle of the California elected officials and look at the lives of California citizens... what a contrast.

[grazon]

Arnold is not a Democrat and neither is my state assemblyman or my state Senator.

[ToshiroHoshi]

Weather Channel founder John Coleman says GW is a scam. Google it and spread the word.

[Mikeishere1st]

And, while you're at it, google: "al gore" + "maurice strong" + china

[yallsostoopid]

@ToshiroHoshi So the f#$% what? Tobacco companies denied that cigarettes cause cancer. Give us an argument. Not a person-in-the-know to refer to.

[JonThm]

Learn science: Clue, Global wArming isn't! Global WArming is not real, and the people at the IPCC are not scientists!

[Mikeishere1st]

Well.. they are computer scientists but just not good ones who could land a job in the private sector. So they exist on government grants saying that they're need to keep studying the 'problem' with their computer models so that they can 'fix it'. Yeah ... SURE!!!

[rayperez777]

And anyway, when the forests transformed into the savannah, man's ancestors climbed down from the trees and learned to walk upright. Adapt! You have no right to demand that humanity spend billions and lose trillions $ of output that could actually go to serve mankind with certainty through standard technological progress, in health care, food, energy, transportation, etc. Petroleum got us to this point we can even be having this discussion. Expensive energy, subsidized or not, costs lives.

[redfarts]

"Portland wants to charge builders who meet efficiency rules..." See, it's just another way for the government to get into your pocket. Wake up and smell the BS they are selling, you dumb-asses.

[libsrok]

I'm sure the builders are going to absorb the cost when the rules aren't met - HELL NO!

They're gonna pass them on to the homeowner. Here's what they'll say...."well you wern't willing to pay mother earth another 30% to meet the regulations so I gotta charge you the penalty"

[ReduceGHGs]

Portland is one of the most progressive cities in the US. They are taking meaningful steps to curb greenhouse gas emissions.

Wake us and smell the FACTS. WE are contributing to global warming. We need to do more to reduce our impact on the environment that sustains us.

FYI, go to UCSUSA(dot)org

[rayperez777]

1st) repsonsible people who build in fire prone areas, meaning EARTH, buy fire insurance or just accept the risks themselves. by your logic, we the tax payer should build "wind levies" around every development in wild fire country. Where is the govt. to pay for my loss when an illegal steals my car crashes it and charges me for impound fees?

[rayperez777]

Govt. subsidized renters have no "right" to return to land they do not own and force a federal boondoggle on the rest of us costing billions. Holland was out of land. Louisiana is not. its one thing to protect an existing asset like downtown N.O. but to force taxpayers to build stronger levies to protect condemned homes below sea level?? and then subsidize their insurance? that shows how absurd things have become in an emotion driven illogical "science" driven socialist America.

[rayperez777]

Little ice age, solar/cosmic variations, living plants emitting methane, water vapor, out-gassing, etc? Climate is an OPEN SYSTEM "scientists" make vastly oversimplified assumptions to model. Thus the models deviate wildly. 'Change is constant' and historical rates are not even. But u will GAMBLE TRILLIONS cuz u believe even if it's a 1/1,000,000 chance we can alter it, it's worth it cuz modern westernized humans suck anyway. How many poor will u sacrifice on the alter of global warming?

[kuskopete]

The problem with the "build responsibly" argument is that many native village sites in Alaska were chosen by the feds when they first put in BIA schools 70+ years ago. Prior to this the people were seasonally nomadic. In some of these places, they even told the government the site was no good and they shouldn't build there. But I agree that we have to adapt and you can't expect the govt to take care of everything. I believe it is only the tip of the iceberg.

[jrturner17]

Thanks for being cool about the mix up ;)

I want to add that I don't care if what is happening in Alaska is about AGW or not, the reality is they are facing enough environmental difficulties they are being forced to move/evacuate as well. No matter what your politics are about climate change/AGW, they need help.

[rayperez777]

boo hoo. climate change made it possible for her people to walk to alaska from asia in the first place! so now "mother earth" has changed her mind. move! ancient cities are found underwater. who caused that? and for the idiots who insist that we rebuild cities BELOW sea level. grow a brain! don't make average taxpayers pay for your irrationality..i mean, welcome to america..the home of the doomed.

[Barbel1th]

Jesus Christ what an asshole!

I'll bet you pointed and laughed at people who got burned out of their homes in California too, huh?

You are a horrible human being.

[agntagnt]

I'll bet you pointed and laughed at people who got burned out of their homes in California too, huh?

Im 2 miles from the Santiago fire... Dude, dont act like an expert on the VERY COMMON brush fires caused by the EXTREMELY COMMON santa ana winds.

Besides the arson and downed power lines the winds that generate the fire were called "the devil winds" by local indians 500 years ago.

That had nothing to do with global warming.

[Barbel1th]

But it has everything to do with you being an uncaring dickhole.

And I notice you didn't deny laughing at fire victims.

So my opinion has not changed: you are a horrible person.

[agntagnt]

ANybody who laughs is a numbskull. My fiends have to evacuate.

What I dont like is you exploiting the victims for your own needs.  If you had researched it you would know the facts.

[jrturner17]

If these fires are so extremely common, and they've been going on for 500 years, why aren't you saying to your neighbors and friends:

"boo hoo. they've known about these 'devil winds' for five hundred years. move! ancient cities are found underwater. who caused that? and for the idiots who insist that we rebuild in the path of these fires. grow a brain! don't make average taxpayers pay for your irrationality..i mean, welcome to america..the home of the doomed."

[agntagnt]

California is a desert. the fires start in brush areas, then they get the houses on the brush line but they dont come into the city. No matter were the houses are built the fire will be there. Areas today surrounded by 10 miles of city were brush areas 100 years ago... Today they would never have a wild fire but 100 years ago they would

[jrturner17]

So why are people evacuating in CA something that should earn our sympathy, but evacuations in Alaska due to a natural disaster earn your derision?

[agntagnt]

I think youre mixing me up with rayperez777

[agntagnt]

Oh, and besides what I just said the areas affected by the wild fires are extremely valuable real estate. They just happen to be in the hills

[jrturner17]

So the value of the real estate is how we should measure whether or not we have sympathy or empathy? Is that what you mean?

[agntagnt]

No, always have sympathy fire anybody who loses something.

Are you mixing me up with the person you were originally talking too?

[jrturner17]

Yes, I am mixing you up--sorry, my bad it's been a long day.

[agntagnt]

No worries... But I want to say these fires have zero to do with AGW.

Between late September and early Jan California gets strong dry winds called Santa Ana Winds... They cause fires, in drought years the fires get much worse.

1993 had a similar outbreak of extreme wild fires and 1980'ish also... Thats as far back as I can remember, but older people remember more

[Barbel1th]

I'm not exploiting anyone - I'm just telling you you're a horrible person for ridiculing someone whose had a tragic experience.

And the reason you're ridiculing this poor girl because her life experiences contradict your belief that global warming isn't happening.

And life experience ALWAYS trumps belief, now doesn't it?

[agntagnt]

Who am I ridiculing. Are you also mixing me up with someone

[Barbel1th]

Perhaps you're right.

But maybe you shouldn't be defending horrible people, lest you get mixed up with them.

Cheers!

[agntagnt]

I hate horrible people.

I think I added to a chain of comments under somebody else... Jrturner17 thought I was somebody else too

[rayperez777]

no one laughed..i'm crying for all the people who will surely DIE, not just have to move, becauses of the trillions of dollars of wasted global resources and lost output because people succumbing to purely emotional arguments made by dupes like these kids advancing policies responding to a theory (man caused GW armageddon) so lacking in proven correlations.

[factsnotopinion]

you melodramatic idiot....global warming is a stupid religion just like communism ....people are dying in zimbabwe....why dont you even care about them...cos they are black....its easier to think that you are saving the world by driving a prius and use energy saving light bulbs....oh you narcisistic cunts!!

[grazon]

"global warming is a stupid religion"

a religion? Who are you kidding?

[SenorStrange]

So what she is saying is that , to save her and a few hundred others way of life, YOU and the other six billion people on the planet need to change their way of life.

[captunderdog]

Yes Scheeno, she IS speaking on factual and realistic situations that are happening in her own homeland. And NOBODY is denying it, however it is idiotic to believe that man is causing it. When you can explain to me how the last two ice ages and the following 'global warmings' occurred without the help of man then maybe someone with an ounce of sense will listen to your drivel about "man caused" global warming. Get real. Get a life. The sky is not falling.

[Barbel1th]

Yes, and you argument only holds up when you don't consider the length of time the planet took to have those ice ages (which was a looooooooooooooong time) as opposed to the accelerated version we're seeing now.

So you're half right: yes, warming is a natural occurrence, but man is helping the cycle to become faster.

Sorry for taking the whole thing into account and ruining you smug little argument.

[meljoyful]

She is NOT a child, first of all. She is a young woman that has been actively involved in environmental issues in Alaska for a few years already. It is ridiculous and insulting to assume she has no thoughts/opinions independent of "propaganda." She is sharing her personal experiences and cultural values. If people are too close-minded to see this as relevant, than it reflects their ignorance, not her appropriateness.

[Missyphont]

This is the state of our country and liberals. Children used for raw politics and using her emotions to gain power and promote unscientific policies. It is pathetic! Absolutely PATHETIC and disgusting!

(And this is a child "testifying" who cannot possibly know what is happening only what has been put in her head with propaganda. I call it brainwashing.)

[grazon]

I'm sure no conservative has ever used a Children as political props.

oh wait they do it all the time.

BTW the person in this video is not a child.

[Barbel1th]

So true.

All that personal observation of her living standards filling her head with all that propaganda... what's the world coming to?

Stephen Colbert's been saying it for a while now - reality has a liberal bias.

[chippo333]

Thank you Charlee for telling firsthand what a devastating effect global warming is having on your village. It took a lot of courage to sit before cameras and people to discuss what is ACTUALLY happening in St Michael.Good luck to you and and the people in St Michael in coping with this harsh reality. It is sad that so many people in other parts of the world are having such an negative impact on your life. Thank you for sharing your story. Judy and Chip Sweeney(ex-residents)

[CorkyMuldoon]

The emotional outburst is really appropriate. This is a situation largely based on emotion and not on fact.

More and more people are kneeling at the altar of the church of global warming!

It's bubkes.

[CorkyMuldoon]

Oh the humanity!

[Scheeno]

This girl is speaking on factual and realistic situations that are happening in her own homeland. And you people still deny it? Amazing... Amazingly sad

[BeverlyAnne]

This person needs to put on her "big girl panties" and do some research, not just regurgitate the liberal propoganda she's been fed.

[liveleaker]

How pitiful how easily the democrats exploit people to support their wayward stance. Symbolism over substance: where was the scientist's opinion? Feelings over thought: crying about the future? How government is an extension of the media complex, now presenting bad comedy as substitute for public service.

[lawandgospel]

It's sad they way they are pimping this girl. I don't like it.

It's also sad the way they are clueless about what is causing climate change.

[cvte2]

I applaude this girl for being brave enough to go before Congress and let them know that there are real people being affected by climate change. There seems to be a lot of "Rush Limbaughs" commenting on here and you should all be a shamed of your selves. Go ahead and make fun because you have never had your way of life challenged and taken away . BRAVO to Charlee Lockwood and ALL those young people who are trying to make a difference in the world unlike these lazy ass "Rush" lites.

[rmkr05]

If only you had the courage to listen to Rush!

[tommytommy2020]

Listening to Rush doesn't take courage, it takes a strong stomach. Ingesting all that hate gives makes me want to hurl. He calls out the worst in his listeners, encouraging them to repress their best side, their human empathy and love.

[Albertanator]

What pee cee rubbish!! Sickening....more global warming propaganda!! Goebels would be proud!!

[yayarea41507]

this so sad! wake up folks! GLOBAL WARMING IS REAL!

[bioflavin]

Rush Limbaugh would make good bio-diesel.

[agntagnt]

j;lkj;lkk;,

[h2orobot]

politicians will not help you because

any government encroachment on the exercised use of nature resources and land

will have a strong resistance from the owners.

and without ongoing exploitation the unpropertied population will suffer and enslaved.

only a real economy reform as recommended by the economist Silvio Gesell can prevail and help

[cngauto]

NancyPelosi

That poor girl has been brain washed by the liberal loons! I did'nt know igloo's had lights and thermostats in them! If you want to reduce your carbon foot print go back to the old ways, living in igloo's killing whales for whale oil for lighting and heating and start thinking for yourself. Toss out all these liberal talking points! and ask your elders about the cycles Alaska goes thru

[agntagnt]

Liberals are great people at heart... They just want everything to be perfect... The only difference between you, them and I is that most of their thoughts are unrealistic I.E..... we need to burn forests to build houses, we need to burn coal because other fuels are not practical etc.

Have you ever wondered why a true liberal wont hold a major governmental office?

[cngauto]

Nancy Pelosi holds a major office,She is a San Francisco liberal and you cant get much loonier than that!congress is a total mess, she will be gone soon

[agntagnt]

I stand corrected

[bioflavin]

Yeah, its loony to stand up against this great administration that so many people love. I can't wait to "not" get social security because of all the fumbles Bush and his crotchety old man posse has made. Please learn to read between the lines so we don't have to live in misery.

[cngauto]

Bush wanted to reform social security but the libs said not to fix somthing thats not broke! so you can blame that on the liberals also

"I did'nt know igloo's had lights and thermostats in them!"

Do you also think Ben Nighthorse Campbell lives in a teepee?

[cvte2]

You are such an ignorant person. You sound like Rush Limbaugh and it is easy for you to make fun of others because your way of life has never been challenged and taken away. What is liberal talking points? This is first hand account in case you weren't paying attention .

[cngauto]

first hand account to what??? she's only 18! she hasent seen or done anything yet.She didnt even know anything about global warming untill her teacher told her. So now she is a stooge for the left

[cvte2]

let me paint a picture for you. In this case "first hand account" means she was born and continues to live on the land she is referring to. She hasn't seen anything? I don't recall her being legally blind. what a doofus! there is a saying, "don't argue with stupid" and now I rest my case. Lord deliver us from ignorant people!

[cngauto]

Ignorant is in your mirror every day

[harleyq2]

the great global warming swindle in its ugliest form....the ignorant poor who have no idea that their argument is with the increasingly radiant sun....and the socialists who exploit them....

[Makaeff]

Swindle? Nope, just the facts. If anyone thinks there isn't a current radical change in climate on this planet, they're blinded by ignorance. LOL!!

[tommytommy2020]

"The increasingly radiant sun"? Even if it is increasing, do you really think it would increase this suddenly? Wow, you are really a fool for corporate propoganda!

[expatted]

Keep going Charlee. You did a good thing today!! You told your story and people need to hear it.

[grazon]

Is Alaska ready to boot Ted Stevens?
