  • Asking economist Alan Carlin for his professional opinion on scientific matters is like asking Martha Stewart for advice on setting the proper timing and carburetor adjustment for your big-block 1969 Camaro SS.

  • These people, in the face of possible global disaster, caused by us, are trying to spin it so we don't think it's us?  Whats the difference between that wishing for global disaster for everyone? I really...cannot...believe this.

  • Not a scientists? Alan Carlin has a BS in Physics from the CA Institute of Technology. How many of you GW fanz have even that much? Test questions: 1. Percentage-wise, how much CO2 is in the atmosphere? 2. How much does that have to change to raise the average global temperature 1 degree F? I'll bet most of you have to look up the first and NONE of you can answer the second. Why not? BECAUSE NOBODY KNOWS!!!! There is no proof of a direct link between increasing CO2 and global warming.

  • The whole (man made) Climate Change thing is so much rubbish, designed to con and enslave us by the same "flat earth" crowd that gave us the sudo-science of "Cold-fusion". Having wasted 30 Billion bucks on "models" my 10 year old could have written thankfully the Congress has turned of this waste of tax dollars.So lets start drilling for extra oil and ramp up the coal output so we are not at the mercy of the Mid-East and the voodoo in bed-sheet brigade.

  • Search for: Fox boss ordered staff to cast doubt on climate science

  • This is so transparent it's laughable.

    First, as some have noted, Carlin is an economist - not a scientist. EPA has lots of them because they recognize someone needs to understand economically what climate change means for the US in the long term.

    Second, he obviously submitted his 'report' after the deadline for the EPA's annual report, so when they dismissed it (as they should have anyway) he could claim they 'suppressed' evidence and make a big deal out of it.

    Just Republicans with tricks.

  • He is not a scientist and his report was written by lobbyists at CEI and the Heartland institute.

  • Alan Carlin is NOT A SCIENTIST

  • The problem here is wording imo.

    They should say "climate change" not "global warming".

    Point is, we need to change our actions in order to make a difference in our planet's stability. Pressing on with environmental protection policy is a positive step which will spur on the development of sustainable energy sources. Burning fossil fuels is not the answer.

  • @BallisticGinger I don't believe George Bush or anyone in his family. Look up Prescott Bush, his grandfather and you'll see how corrupt the whole Bush family is.

  • Fighting stupidity, bias, pseudoscience and obscurantism. Just search for this web-address: skepticalscience(dot)com

    ("Skeptic Arguments and What the Science Says" - scientific facts against more than 100 common arguments of the so called skeptics collected by the australian physicist John Cook)

  • Faux news strikes again...

  • There's no correlation btwn man-made CO2 emissions & global temps except for the brief time period btwn 1975-98

    There's no actual evidence of man-made GW. It's just a theory based on faulty computer simulations & paid-for scientists

    There's no consensus among scientists, even those on the IPCC panel

    Why wont Gore or any warmists debate the issue in public? The planet's supposedly at stake & he still refuses debate by saying 'It's settled'. What does he fear if so?

  • Carlin is citing the work of a great many PhDs. Here icecap (.) us / index (.) php / go / experts

    Carlin's report wattsupwiththat (.) files (.) wordpress (.) com / 2009 / 06 / endangerment commentsv7b1 (.) pdf

  • Faux News bubblehead to important 'guest': "Most of us are not scientists. You are! You worked at EPA for 38 years!" Earth to Faux News bubblehead: the guy is an economist, not a scientist. Definitely not an earth scientist or climatologists. But he's making claims about earth science, NOT economics. Are your listeners so stupid that they wouldn't understand the difference? Apparently, that's what you think.

  • Just remember people that all who say GW is not occuring as a result of human influence are on ExxonMobil payroll. But remember also that any who say it is so have no source of outside funding. Al Gore has not made approx. 100 million from the sale of carbon cedits oh no. Also remember the UK did not say by there own study that the cap & trade system they have been operating for years produced very little result oh no. And Dr. James Hansen did not say cap & trade won't work. Just you remember.

  • @MrSampy22 the cap and trade system is crap, it doesn't do anything constructive, one thing it does do though is make companies aware of their emissions so that hopefully we can combat the issue of man made global warming.

  • @BallisticGinger Actually I believe companies are already well aware of their emissions. You are completely correct in that Cap & Trade is crap. Looking at the example we have in Europe & the study funded by the govt. in the U.K. it has accomplised next to nothing in reducing emissions while driving energy costs sky high. If the goal is to reduce emissions then Cap & Trade has shown it is not the answer by example.

  • Cap and Trade and the new carbon credits market is a complete fraud, but no one cares because they are paid off.

    The IMF and World bank paid of the UN to pay off the IPCC and other propped up insiders to fake the data and persecute legit scientists.

    No wonder Al Gore kept saying the science is already decided. Ha, when he owns part of the the carbon exchange in Chicago, how can anyone believe him?

  • @glenwoodfin what about the leaders such as bush, who are heavily backed by oil? how can you believe them?

  • This guy is probably one of the most boring speakers i've ever listened to. Not that what he has to say isn't important, but his constant pausing, slow speaking, and monotone voice is just terrible.

  • Imagine honest people running the show. Well at least we can imagine.

  • lol. maybe one day

  • i just watched a very credible scientist saying that the UN was cooking the books BEFORE the leaked emails

    the biggest hoax ever .. these people need to go to jail

  • Faux News bubblehead: "somebody anonymously sent these emails to a newspaper" Oh, please, bubblehead, lets not leave it there. The original paper, and the emails, were 'leaked' by the Competitive Enterprise Institute, which receives much of its funding from Exxon/Mobil. And, there, finally, do we see revealed who all these 'denier's on these youtube comments sections have chosen to prostitute themselves to. To which Exxon must surely be asking: 'was it good for you too?'

  • Faux News bubblehead: "We're not scientists, but YOU are!" He's an ECONOMIST, you faux moron, not a scientist!! He copied words from a well-known GW denier website VERBATUM and tried to pass it off as his own work, including their cherry picked plots showing global 'cooling' since 2006 (i.e. IGNORING the temperature record for the 150 years before 2006). He's not even a part of the group in EPA charged with studying GW!! Of COURSE his boss rejected his sophmoric Kinko-job!

  • @ubrew12 Well said! I just did a video on this guy's plagiarism.

  • Mathiews is an idiot he can't even read

  • viddler . com / explore / ceivideo / videos / 48 /

  • put dubdubdubdot before it and remove spaces of course

  • Also the oil companies are controlled by the NWO and they profit massively from investment in biofuels and receive money from the Govt from the carbon tax, and they're profiting enormously from the NWO-created wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and soon the baseless attack on Iran

  • Actually the satellite data shows that there is no global warming, in fact it shows a cooling in the past few years. The IPEE reports accord a number to CO2 levels that is a product of 4 factors. they have each been on average DOUBLED from actual data! This artificially multiplies CO2 estimates by a factor of 16!!! Sea level rises have been vastly exaggerated, and current climate trends have been steady for over 300 years, we were not producing significant CO2 then!!!!

  • Yes, humans have been releasing toxins into the environment, many intended to sterilise and sicken human populations. Much also is the result of corporate greed and cost-cutting. You're right it has nothing to do with Global warming and on that front, I'm all for stricter controls on corporate waste dumping, and elimination of chemtrail population(and wildlife) poisoning. I just don't believe they have any scientific basis for the AGW hypothesis.

  • The mostl stunning thing is the weird/mad/enigmatically hallicinogenic/psychoticly dazzling phantasma of some manic minds, having consumed too much conspiracy theories and adopted this kind of strange perspective according to climate change. Please take your pills and stop to communicate with the alien in your headroom!

  • I agree those crazy kooks who believe in Anthropogenic Global Warming. Those dreadlock wearing bohemian tree-hugging types that have been suckered in by the NWO propaganda. The rational, level-headed ones follow the science that shows climate change is driven by Oceanic cycles and solar radiation. The crazy ones never argue science,because just like supporters of the official Govt 911 explanation, the science is not on their side.

  • read your comments, and you are 100% right. humans arent causing AGW. its the sun. the sun always drove temperature. and it always will. dr. piers corbyn recently released his method on predicting weather by using the sun, and he is right most of the time. sure hes not perfect. hes been wrong a few times, but he is much more accurate than any meteorologist.

  • The midieval period was hotter, it's a scientific fact that the pacific decadal oscilllation has turned negative in the last few years as has the global temperature. Satellite microwave sounding units don't lie. Also nobody with an IQ above 10 believes the bullshit left/right paradigm, there is only one team as the fossil fuel industry works for the same corrupt group of bankers, the fake right wing provides a good way to discredit truth. NWO pawn channel....

  • NASA has corrected its US temperature records, the hottest year on record is no longer 1998, but 1934. Five of the ten hottest years since 1880 were between 1920 and 1940 " and the 15 hottest years since 1880 are spread across seven decades. This suggests natural variation, not a warming trend. Plant and insect remains found at the base of Greenland"s ice sheet indicate that, just 400,000 years ago, the island was blanketed in forests and basking in temperatures perhaps 27 degrees F warmer

  • A clever ploy to put him on Fox news and not shut him down, actually support him. That will discredit him in the eyes of the anti-AGW crowd who place AGW firmly in the NWO arsenal. People will suspect him and thus anti-AGW of being a NWO puppet as Fox is generally total pro-NWO propaganda. Clever.......but AGW has all the science against it anyway.

  • Of course what Faux don't tell you is that a lot of his report was actually cut and pasted from various conservative AGW denialist Blogs on the Internet. Ahahahahaha...

  • wrong AtomSmash3r, more likely the blogs were cut and pasted from his report as they're respected scientists working for NCEE/ OPEI.

    It is after all the conservatives or ruling elite perpetrating the AGW scam to make trillions off carbon taxes, weaken economies and create fear to promote acceptance of the New World Order.

  • The UN & our current administration desire a one world government. Global Warming policies are detrimental to the US economy. It is to their benefit that false Global Warming information be perpetrated. Adherence to it will ultimately weaken & destroy the US economy, leading towards their common goal. The EPA supervisor's decision is analogous to a pilot choosing to ignore his navigator's report that the plane is off course, leading to it's fatal end.

  • Nevertheless Mr. Carlin & companions are no climate scientists and their report has never been peer-reviewed.

    Look for: "Bubkes Realclimate" !

  • incorrect, they are climate scientists and worked for the NCEE/OPEI. Do your research please.

  • I've done my research: Carlin worked for NCEE/OPEI as an economist. He's not a environmental physisist/atmospheric scientist/meteorologist/ polar scientist/chemist/biologist, who does research on climate change - he's not even a natural scientist. NCEE means "National Center for Environmental ECONOMICS" and OPEI means "Office of POLICY, ECONOMICS, and Innovation". Carlin's lack of expertise is evident!

  • WRONG!!! Carlin has an in depth knowledge of the subject as he as been responsible for collating and structuring many of the NCEE's reports on the subject. He thus is intimately familiar not only with the subject matter but with what evidence is intentionally ignored or omitted. The NCEE were caught ignoring crucial evidence and promoting faulty climate models. Bad luck shill, the science proves AGW is rubbish, just like the science proves 911 is an inside job. NWO FAIL.

  • The EPA Press Secretary Adora Andy said: "The individual in question [A. Carlin] is NOT a scientist and was not part of the working group dealing with this issue." -- His last scientific knowledge he gained 50 Years ago, when he received an undergraduate degree as B.S. in physics.

  • desmut blog is as crooked as they come. lies and fabrication of facts is their raison de vivre.

    unqualified small-town PR guys making disparaging comments about scientists they says are unqualified while they lectures the rest of us on the science.

  • James Hoggan's client list. They include or have included the National Hydrogen Association, Fuel Cells Canada, hydrogen producer QuestAir, Naikun Wind Energy and Ballard Fuel Cells. Mr. Hoggan, in other words, benefits from regulatory policy based on climate change science.

  • So who is James Hoggan? He's a public relations man, based in Vancouver. His firm, James Hoggan and Associates, is positioned as a feel-good local operation with clients in all the "right" public and private sectors. He also sits on the board of the David Suzuki Foundation

  • DeSmogBlog Funded by James Hogan (James Hoggan & Associates) and John Lefebvre (Former President of Netseller Group)

  • " on desmogblog. There you'll get the whole Story! "

    John Lefebvre, the top financial benefactor of the DeSmog Blog, is facing substantial prison time after pleading guilty to federal money-laundering charges. The DeSmog Blog is operated by a small group of public relations people who specialize in attempting to discredit respected scientists and policy analysts who disagree with alarmist global warming theory.

  • By the way: Carlin is an economist not a scientist!

  • not that there's anything wrong with that :D

  • Look for: " "Suppressed" Climate Report Cribbed From Patrick Michaels?" on desmogblog. There you'll get the whole Story!

  • it is not a global warming it is going to be an ice age and they are just finding out and dont know how to get this news out to the world. globle warming is a joke to make money and spend money.

  • These two are like total idiots every morning on TV. the worse I have ever seen I never watch this show.

  • Idiot, What about the science that shows global warming is not man made

  • I have a question: Those taxes, "Green Taxes" , for what are we paying? Nobody is planting a tree, all the many had been collected from those taxeswere enough by now cu replant the whole world. I do not care about the conzpyrationist, and i do not care about any autority. My only autorithy that i recognize is GOD. UN, my country, NATO??? I don't give a shit, they can inprison me, kill me, i spitt on theyr face.

  • It is easy to find gaping holes in the man-made warming hypothesis - all that is needed is an open mind and a basic science education.

  • In fact your mind is so open, your brain fell out. Validation of theory?. Your last post.

  • This is not even close to "being a coverup". Mr. Carlon got a memo reprimanding him for not helping matters, (read at 2:29). That is not a cover-up.

  • Anyway, Fox news, youtube and the GOP have become a party of conspiracy-theorist who believe that anybody that knows more than they do is suspicious. Considering the culture level of he audience, anyone who read a book is suspicious. When they find a "scientist" (he is an economist) that goes against all the other experts, they jubilate because it lets the idiots think the were right all along. Such an effect will cause the end of the American era and the collapse of this civilisation.

  • You ignorant piece of shit.

    There is no evidence to show any link between humans and global warming. Go and read the IPCC summary reports and then show me where it says conclusively that humans are responsible for an increase in global temperatures.

    Have fun with that.

  • I haven't said anything about such a link. Just the exploitation of an anomalous year as a reference, which is clearly dishonest.

    This suppressed author is not a good reference, he is manipulating data.

  • The globe has been cooling since 11 years because 1998 was clearly an anomaly. That shows INCREDIBLE dishonesty from the part of the guest or Fox news. I hope no economists, even less physicists, would ever make such a claim from the data of global temperature. I find their manipulation of the opinion despicable.

  • lol look at that economist talk big

  • Oh so you saw he has a PhD in Economics from MIT but you seem to have failed to notice his Physics degree from Cal Tech.

  • lol and physics has a lot to do with climatology.

    I was once a physics major. Am I qualified?

    There is a reason why his report was thrown out. It's a patchwork of other's research, very little of it is peer reviewed. He's not an expert in any way. No one asked for his opinion in the first place.

  • Apparently you have no clue why that is irrelevant. Unless you are appealing to the chaotic nature of the quantum universe. In that case what are the effects of increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?

  • Gore made 100 million off his global warming snake oil pitch

  • I called for 2 hours that day..... it kept saying, the lines where busy, and to call back........ but I kept calling for 2 hours straight. I was proud to hear we crashed the phone system, but not too proud about the out come of the House votes.

  • The green agenda began in the 'Club of Rome' as a way to take away all of your rights in order to put in a one world government. If you doubt me, look it up for yourself.

    The green movement has done almost nothing to protect the environment while taking away many rights. The Waxman-Markey bill calls for government agents to enter your home without a warrant. There goes the 4th ammendment.

  • Those on the right and those on the left are both on the same team. They are two factions of the same party trying to take away all of your rights. Can't you see how republicans abuse us until we can't stand it only for democrats to take charge and do the same thing? What is Obama doing that Bush wasn't? Republicans borrow and spend while dems tax and spend.  We need to cut spending. No one offers that solution. They are on the same team. One global government is their goal.

  • HAHA... "Thats a bunch of gobbly gook I dont get".. All these words and reasons make me dizzy

  • It's not about global warming. It's about CLIMATE CHAOS brought about by global military experimentation. Chemtrails; H.A.A.R.P.; weather modification; ELF/EMF; bio-chemical warfare; etc. Air Force document printed 1996 titles "Weather as a Force Multiplier: Owning the Weather in 2025"

  • Global warming IS happening. When I was a kid trying to get to school because of the glaciers in the neighborhood was a real hazard. Now, forty years later the route is clear and we can all move around. I hate this global warming, It was so much better when we had to hunt on the ice in California

  • Yoyu have just demonstrated that conservatives really are scientifically illiterate ignoramuses.

    Conservatives are also incompetent at leadership (see George W. Bush, Sarah Palin).

    Conservatives are also endangered and soon they will become extinct.

  • More and more REAL Scientists are coming out, using real science to debunk the hoax.

    More and more people are actually starting to listen to the FACTS and deciding that it makes no sense whatsoever. They are starting to question it. Well, they can't have THAT. Why? Because they can't win an intelligent fact and science based argument.

    They can not win because there is NO real Science in it. There are no PROVABLE facts to back up what they say.

  • What a bunch of conservative anti-science bunk. Is it any wonder the conservatives have a reputation for their lack of intelligent and scientific illiteracy?

    Conservatives cannot handle science. Conservatives cannot handle reality. Conservatives cannot govern effectively.

    This might explain why the Republican party is a declining soon to become extinct minority.

  • Literalism IS a mental disorder.

  • This isn't a left vs right, this is the present administration trying to hush their own scientist's finding.

  • He's not a "scientist," he's an economist.

    It's not his "finding," he copied it off a website.

  • Exxon Mobile Funded latest climate bill(interesting)

    Industries and individual companies with a stake in the landmark House climate and energy bill poured money into lobbying early this year

    Exxon Mobil Corp. spent the most within that group, paying $9.3 million on lobbying the first quarter of this year.

    Last year the company spent $29 million, its highest level ever.

    Carbon and CO2 (carbon dioxide) are fundamental for all life on Earth. CO2 is a colorless, odorless, non-toxic gas.

  • Man-made carbon dioxide is only 0.117 percent of total carbon dioxide in the air and contributes only 0.0047 percent carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.

    The average person has been misled and is confused about what the current Global Warming debate is about, greenhouse gases. None of which has anything to do

    with air pollution. People are confusing Smog, Carbon Monoxide (CO) and the pollutants in

    car exhaust with the life supporting, essential trace gas in our atmosphere, Carbon Dioxide (CO2).

  • are we polluting the earth? are we removing natural wild areas on the earth? are animals dying? is or water polluted? is the air polluted? is acid rain real? are the ice caps melting? do we want to wait until we cant find clean water or land? or do we wait on the flood?

  • Anxiety Grows in Global Warming Alarmist Camp

    climate-change alarmists are finding it increasingly difficult to maintain their position that human activity

    has warmed Earth to crisis proportions.

    Polar bears keep growing in numbers, Antarctic ice keeps expanding, deserts keep receding, temperatures keep easing, the ranks of science skeptics keep multiplying. It's tough to scare people with that kind of sound-science evidence.

  • this makes me cry....now I don't know what to believe

  • Carlin's report is based on astrology (specifically, the cosmic cycles theory of Theodore Landscheidt), not on science.

    Go ahead, conservatives. Spend your capital on this guy. You're making it all to easy to turn you all into jokes.

    Astrology. ASTROLOGY. Jesus Christ, you people are stupid.

  • Astrology is science.

  • Only people that are stupid are those that don't know the difference between "astrology" and "astronomy." Dumbass.

  • I do know the difference, which is why I brought up Carlin's reliance on astrology.

  • dmathew1024

    I sense some animosity. Have you seen anyone about that?

    By the way, if evolution and "survival of the fittest" were true, liberals would have been extinct a long time ago.

    And if evolution is true, then we don't have anything to worry about; nature will adapt to whatever new conditions develop.

  • The debate "Is global warming real" is a manufactured debate by special interests that is not taking place within the scientific community because all evidence overwhelming suggests that CO2 is causing significant changes in climate. According to a CNN poll, about 90% of scientists believe in global warming. Fox would have you think it was about 50/50.

  • A poll of scientists is not evidence. There is virtually no evidence that manmade emissions of greenhouse gases is having anything but a trivial effect on the earth's temperatures. Manmade global warming alarmism is not evidence based. It's computer generated nonsense.

  • Conservatives need to stop lying about science because it only makes them sound like scientifically illiterate creationist idiots.

    Of course,asking a conservative to comprehend science makes about as much sense as asking a Republican to remain true to his marriage vows.

  • Hmm I guess liberals soooooo intelligent, three comments are needed to express the viewpoint...

  • Unlike conservatives, liberals know that it takes more than a few sentences to actually convey actual facts and information about the subject under dispute.

    Of course, conservatives don't say much because they don't have much to say.

  • Unlike conservatives. Liberals don't generalize and use stereotypes(sarcasm).

  • Don't blame the liberals for the lack of education and general ignorance exhibited by conservatives on a daily basis.

    It is especially easy to stereotype conservatives now since they are so few.

  • Not blaming anyone. Just pointing out how "tolerant" your comments are. Hypocrite.

  • "Tolerant" does not mean accepting the truthfulness of everyone else's opinion. Consult a dictionary.

  • You're correct. But that is not what I was referring to in your comments. You generalize conservatives in every comment. And show your intolerance of them and their views or opinions because they don't agree with you. On top of that your trolling.

    Peace out comrade. Keep hating America and conservatives. Maybe the hate will keep you warm at night.

  • the problem is the conservatives now are stupid. They actually believe in creationism, hate minorities, and deny the basic science that global warming exist. Stupid

  • Your assumption is based on bigotry. There are many types of "conservatives." Hence you are the racist you accuse them of being.

    Global warming is real and has happened WITHOUT the presence of man. The climate changes every day. The temp is dropping now. And if you rule out a nuclear furnace that produces 500,000 man years of energy in one second, as not playing a some kind of role in the climate. You are denying the seasons and basic science yourself. The science is not settled.

  • thats not being a racist dumbass. If your going to say something get the semantics right. Say bigot or something because I didnt bring up a particular race. And okay fine, the MAJORITY of conservatives deny global warmings existence, hate minorities, and believe in creationism. Satisfied,

  • OK, fair enough you're just a bigot. Thanks for the correction. You're right.

    What's wrong with denying global warming when the earth's cooling?

    Hate minorities how? By not using them as political tools for election and keeping them dependent of uncle Sam?

    What's wrong with believing in what you want to? Who gave you authority to tell someone what to believe in? That's simple arrogance and self righteousness.

    Yes, I'm satisfied. You are a tool.

  • your just an idiot. And you can believe what you want to about creationism. Its just not true. Sorry, theres no God tellin us when the Earths going 2 end so all this bullshit masquerading as righteous divinity shouldjust end. And conservatives deny minorities basic civil rights thats how. By motivating the KKK to spark more riots. And whats wrong with denying global warming is that its a denial of factual science. The past 4 decades the temperature in the climate has accelerated.

  • Why should anyone care? You're an admitted bigot.

    Can you prove it's not true? Can you prove what created the big bang? Or the secrets of the universe? You can only speculate. Yet proclaim your own self righteousness as the only truth.

    Did you know MLKjr was a conservative?

    Did you know the kkk is a leftist group started by dems, not a conservative one?

    But there's factual science that goes against MMGW. Since 98 the temp has fallen ect...

  • when did i ever mention i was a bigot? what a dumbass. And I dont need 2 prove its not true, its already been proven by science that no way one mysterious man up in the air started a flood and killed the entire world and rebuilt it. Then the rest survived on Noahs Ark. Nor is it remotely possible that theres a talking snake or a guy living to be 900 years old. Nor does a man get engulfed by a big fish for three days and survive. Its quixotic, irrational and stupid. Sorry to spoil your party

  • "thats not being a racist dumbass. If your going to say something get the semantics right. Say bigot or something"

    That was you numb nut. And your comments prove your bigotry.

    So what? How much more strange is that compared to two parallel universe's contacting to cause the big bang. And what causeed the big bang? Who the fuck knows. Oh wait your so smart you do. My bad.

    If you profess to know everything, you know nothing.

    MMGW is not proven.

  • In 1997, Enron set about to promote an international treaty to impose

    cuts in CO2 emissions while allowing emission rights trading. Such an agreement would produce a gigantic windfall for Enron because

    it would boost the usage of natural gas at the expense of coal and it would help Enrons growing commodity trading business.

  • And no KKK was not a leftist group dumbass. Where did you concoct that out of? Your ass? This white supremacy platform alot of you conservatives run on isnt working. Thats why you guys got kicked the fuck out of office. And actually Martin Luther King was not a conservative.He wasnt a politician. He was a man who went against the establishment and challenged idiots like you to stop denying minorities basic rights. That aint a liberal or conservative issue. Its a civil rights issue. Dumbass.

  • Collectivism is a leftist ideal. One that groups people into races and class. The kkk are based off the same model. Hence why they blame certain groups for their follies, like leftist. You know, blaming jews for everything.

    Bush was not a conservative.

    MLK was a conservative, hate to burst your stupid bubble. Being a politician has nothing to do with being a conservative idiot. Your democratic party was the one trying to stop civil rights. Republicans championed it.

    You're shit.

    C crest out.

  • wow, sounds like you dont know your history. do me a favor. Learn to read a book and then come back and talk 2 me.

  • sorry to point out your idiocy but just crack open a book dumbass. Your worse then Sarah Palin. Ooh I can see Russia from Alaska lol. You two deserve each other.

  • Sorry numb nut you only pointed out your own idiocy and bigotry. Any point you make is tainted and useless, you're just totting the party line like a good sheep.

    Oh you bring up Palin, how noble. If she was such a bad governor why does she have a higher approval rating then the congress and Barry?

    You're a joke. Palin's down syndrome kid is smarter then you.

  • Really? Then why did her dumbass quit? By the way tell Sarah Palin that Africa is a continent. lmao Since she didnt know that. You=Idiocy, Stupidity, and Mental Retardation

  • Who cares.

    Have you run a state smarty pants?

    For such a dumb ass, she has accomplished a lot. More then you, So what does that say about YOU?

  • it says your defending a bitch who cant tell whether or not Africa was a country or continent. And she better have accomplished more. Shes 44. Im only 19. Too bad, her intelligence is alot worse than mine.

  • I am a conservative who doesn't believe what you said they are.. What do you mean by stupid? I assume if your ignorant of something it means you just don't really know...

    Find out first the truth and that alone will wake you up to set you free from what you accuse conservatives of. "Think, learn, and be open to truth and back up what you say ..such as getting information from a scientist (Carlin)who knows more then you and I.

  • "It is especially easy to stereotype conservatives now since they are so few."

    Yeah, it's easy for someone(you) who is stuck far up their own ass. Who has a self righteous complex and believes they own moral superiority over everyone. Damn, so you're a religious nut without the religion. How quaint.

    C crest out

  • The best sort of religious nut is one who has no religion. I can accept and tolerate all religions and even those who have none.

    I think such an approach would benefit you very much, too. You ought to try it out. You cannot possibly become any worse off from conducting the experiment.

  • I guess you forgot about John Edwards (D). Oh wait you probably didn't even know because MSNBC is to busy sucking Dem's dicks to report dem's own indescretions. Sorry to break it to you man. Democrats cheat on their wives too. Now quit sucking Dem or Repub dicks all you fucks. They are all shit.

  • A EPA report is nothing like a scientific study or paper that is peer reviewed and conservatives act like it is. I can make a report stating anything, but it doesn't mean anything if it is not peer reviewed.

  • Neither is the IPCC report.

  • Watching this is like DUH, only dumbshits believe tiny little people have anything to do or can do anything about the Earth getting warmer. The Earth has been around for billions of years and will be around for billions of years when we are gone. We are just tiny organisms living on a giant planet floating through space, we better stop worrying about the earth and start worrying about our government, THAT is what is going to be the end of us.

  • Only "tiny little people" cannot impact the Earth?

    Are conservatives really so stupid ... ?

    Don't you know that when you catch a cold or get the flu it is only the tiniest little bacteria which make you sick?

    Don't you know that when there is a flood and it washes away your house it was only those tiny little raindrops which created the flood.

    Small powerless little things can have big impacts.

  • Nothing makes me angerier than hearing conservatives say "only 3% of the CO2 is from humans." As if 3% is a small number. When it comes to the environment a 3% difference make a big change in the climate. If one raised the earths temperature by 3% that would make a HUGE impact. Just because 3% is small when in other cases doesn't make it mall in all cases. The environment is one of them where it makes a big difference.

  • No one says that the earth will die because of us, but that doesn't mean we have no effect on the life on earth. Tell that to all the extinct animals we have killed off. Here are just a few.. 1. The Tasmanian tiger

    2. The Passenger Pigeon

    3. Aurochs Cattle of Europe

    4. The Quagga Zebra

    5. Atlas Bear of Africa

    6. The Cape Lion

    7. The Dodo bird of Mauritius

    8. The Javan Tiger

    9. The Great Auk

    10. The Yangtze River Dolphin

  • This has nothing to do with not keeping the earth clean or not taking care of animals, it has to do with TAXING us on the emission of a substance that is NECESSARY for ALL LIFE.

    IT IS A HOAX plain and simple to get a tax to fund the WORLD GOVERMMENT

  • A lot of things are necessary for all life but are bad in large doses. Sunlight is nessary for all life but too much Sun is bad for most living things, it drys them out leaving them dehydrated and die. Too much of anything is bad for you, even if it is necessary. Water is another good example. Everything needs water, but guess what happens when most land organism get too much water? We die, even humans can die from an overdose of water, like plants. 3% of co2 is a BIG difference.

  • Americans are going to lose a lot more than money if they are stupid enough to worry more about taxes rather than the health of the planet.

    Of course, when the bad days come the conservatives will ask, "Why didn't anyone warn us?"

    The Christians will wonder why they missed the Rapture, too.

  • First this is common sense the Earth is ALWAYS warming and cooling but that is irrelevant. What counts is your relative location. The only global catastrophe in history is government.

  • This is just pure plain stupid. Humans were always dying prior to 9/11 so what was so remarkable about 9/11?

    The existence of natural causes of climate change do not exclude the impacts of human behavior. The people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki would eventually have died anyway but they were vaporized by a terrorist act.

    Conservatives who cannot perceive humankind's impact upon the Earth are scientifically illiterate. Read a book!

  • "The people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki would eventually have died anyway but they were vaporized by a terrorist act."

    Terrorist attack? Wow. Tell that to the 600,000+ Chinese peasants slaughter by Japan. I call it karma.

  • Dropping a nuclear bomb on civilians, women and children is a terrorist act. The Chinese peasants slaughtered by the Japanese were not slaughtered by the women and children of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

    No more than the victims of 9/11 were responsible for the American genocide against the Native Americans.

    Of course, conservatives support terrorism when they commit terrorist acts.

  • So Harry Truman was a conservative?

    Considering we fire bombed most Japan's cities and killed almost a hundred thousand more then both atomic bombs before dropping them and Japan didn't still didn't surrender. It was the only choice.

    What would you of done smarty pants? Invaded Japan?

    Terrorist act my ass. Keep living in your own little dream world.

  • Yes, you are correct ... the United States of America committed numerous terrorist acts throughout the Second World War. In the process the United States of America killed millions of civilians.

    The United States of America also is guilty of genocide and crimes against humanity.

    What would I have done? I wouldn't have allowed the United States to kill millions of civilians. Such acts make the United States as evil as Osama Bin Laden.

  • I'm sure an attitude like would of defeated Japan and Germany in the war.

    Honestly you are far removed from reality. The Japanese and German populace were fair game. They supported their governments in their war crimes against humanity. If the Axis the bomb and the range to reach America our cities would of been targets as well. That's how war was fought then.

    Sorry the Japanese and German's weren't able to create the leftist utopia you dream of America becoming.

  • Go back to where you came from... you don't belong here in this nation. Soldiers protect us!!! We need to be thankful for the reasons why they became soldiers.. We ignored the many Jews who were in concentration camps for 12 years before we helped them. Read History before you make your comments

  • "We ignored the many Jews who were in concentration camps ... "

    While the United States of America placed thousands of Japanese-Americans in concentration camps.

    The unbridled racism against the Japanese might explain the genocidal practices of the United States against Japanese civilians during World War II.

    Hiroshima & Nagasaki were the most horrendous terrorist acts which humankind has ever committed.

    But conservatives are in favor of mass murder when committed by Americans.

  • Global Waming + Cap&Tax= FRAUD

  • He's an economist, not a scientist.

    Senator Inhofe is a shill for the oil industry.

    Republicans might want to pay some attention to science since they are going extinct like the dinosaurs.

  • He is a senior research analyst and has been for the last 40 years. Do you know what a research analyst does? They analyze research conducted by scientists. When the UN predicts that temperature will warm and the actual temperature shows that it has cooled, how can you argue with that? You don't need to be a scientist to understand the chart of predicted temperatures vs. ACTUAL temperatures. You may be anti-Republican, but I hope you aren't anti-freedom, which is what this is all about.

  • He is an economist, not a scientist. If you want to measure the reliability of economists check and see how many of them predicted the housing bubble and the resulting economic collapse.

    The rest of the bunk that you are expressing is standard right wing anti-science talking points about as senseless as the creationists arguments against evolution.

  • jac, this is not a peer reviewed scientific paper, they are not the samething, if you read what the peer reviewed papers say, they say the opposite of what this guy is saying.

  • Depends on what peer-reviewed papers you are reading. There are many dozens of peer-reviewed papers that confirm what this guy is saying.

  • Thank you jaclyngregory! This is not right vs left, it's freedom vs slavery!

  • "This is not right vs left, it's freedom vs slavery!" Yes because scientists are motivated by the U.S. government for taxation, it is a big conspiracy.

  • If you believe that behaving like a mindless drone morbidly obese hyperconsumer is freedom, you are really a self deluded fool.

  • as opposed to mindless drone of "consuming" the man's religion of climate change or global warming. It's global farting because the same priestly scientists say methane gas is worse that CO2 so go pluck your butt!

  • Total hoax, Al Gore owns the biggest carbon trading company, total corruption, the science is simply not there, in fact the earth is cooling

  • The global warming thing is another Lie to steal tax dollars. by the Dems. Why do they try so hard to push this through, when there are alot more pressing problems that should be delt with? This is nothing but redistribution of wealth by thieves in our Gov.

  • Annoying thing aboutthose who don't believe/do believe is that most of you WANT to believe what you believe and most of you haven't done ANY study of the matter. Real scientist have been researching this topic and information is out there. Both sides each have a vested interest in the other side being wrong. Each side is bias with its lemming followers. I respect someone who after intense study comes to conclusions I disagree with more than clowns like you who on ignorance base their opinions.

  • This is an ended debate. Overwhelming data suggest that global warming is happening. This is the equivalent of someone standing up in 1563--a year after Galileo's death--and declaring that the earth doesn't orbit the sun.

  • tndowns1122 you are just plain mistaken or mislead. I have viewed the data myself. A vast array of reports were in existence prior to 1998 accurately predicting a rise in temperatures until 1998 followed by 57 years of cooling. This is not new. Only thing new is that now we have groups with a self-interest in promulgating bad science. This is precisely why they ignored this report, many others, and all the data since 1998. Do you think that the 1998 data can't be compiled by now?

  • Comment removed

  • 57 years later in 1998 we reached the other extreme of the harmonic cycle. In 1993 we were looking at these cycles and made preparations for the expected increased activity over the next 5 years. After that it was known that solar activity would begin to wane and cooling would occur. The predictions were right on target and high latitude countries did indeed have grids knocked out during this phase extreme. Since 1998 just as predicted the climate has begun to cool.

  • Don't you find it odd that all these William Tell "The sky is falling" global warming fearmongers CHERRY PICK the data that they present to begin around 1941 and for some reason haven't managed to compile the data much past 1998?

    They have a very large self-interest in convincing everyone that there is a major calamity underway. Global warming has become big business.

    Since 1998 temperatures have indeed begun to drop. They will continue to drop with or without this legislation.

  • Look at half a sine wave starting at the trough through to the peak. It does indeed look like the sky is falling.

    No doubt if this legislation is passed they will suddenly discover the falling temperatures and proclaim a monumental success due to their great contributions to science & credit themselves with saving the world. We cannot afford bad science at the moment. Not asking you to take my word for it, just look at it yourself (>250 years) and take the time to see the deception yourself.

  • Learn to overcome left-wing bias taught throughout the education system. The best way to do this is rely on your OWN intelligence not on self-interested low-integrity scientists cherry-picking data to purposefully mislead.

    For 6 str8 years in the public schools I asked my son what he was studying in science. He consistently replied, "Global Warming", "The Environment", etc. You would think GLOBAL WARMING and science were synonomous to liberal educators. GW has replaced chemistry and physics.

  • When 2055 arrives they will be calling for us to do something about the falling temperatures and warning us about another ice age. If you look back in time you will find IDENTICAL EQUALLY convincing reports full of impressive data professing a coming ice-age in the 1940's.

  • OMG Fox News wants you to die!

  • Why does it take a team of scientist with expensive lab equipment to conclude that a billion vehicles, 10's of thousands of trains, ships, jetliners, air planes all burning fossil fuel, thousands of factories pumping noxious gases, billions of farm animals belching and farting, deforestation and then throw in the nature; volcanoes, that there is a global warming due to humanities influence?

    Common sense people, it's happening. and thats a fact.

  • Obama's election was based on lies. Global warming is based on lies. Health care is based on lies. Facts get in the way. But one fact is certain, his lies is going to cause the two biggest spending/taxing bills in history! Not on just industry. It will affect more of the people than they say.
