it is a pity Mr Parenti has bought in to the myth of man made global warming. Has he not noticed from his history that there was a medieval warmn(circa 800-1350 AD) period that followed the dark ages? and that it was not caused by knights charging around on their SUV's?
There was a little ice age from 1350 to about 1800 and when the temperature started rising again in 1700 it rose 9 TIMES the rate that has the warmists sceaming now.
. . nor oil man, and i despise the Right as much as Parenti does. But the science is simply not there for the fad which is AGW.
It is a pity that this issue divides on political grounds, rightists denying AGW and leftists believing it, but I am a leftist who has investigated it on RATIONAL grounds alone.
the climate ceased wsarming about 10 years ago and it was not man made when ity did.
let Mr parenti do some research instead of toeing the leftist line here

I hear the quote often that prescription drugs are the 4th leading cause of death in the US but they don't take into account the damage done by drugs and toxicity which cause many of the killer diseases like cancer. Take this into account and it becomes the NUMBER 1 killer.

50xs as many people killed by doctors today as killed by died 911; terrorists anyone? 1,000,000 every 10 years? are doctors fools or doing it on purpose? nah, they can't get it together to pay attention to their jobs because their income is more dependant on factors outside protecting the heath of patients. many are paid more to be sobs than doctor. like engineers promoted to management, a charismatic feature is ... exploited.
"the troubled brain is treated as the troublesome brain"- that sums up western psycho-medicinal practiced pretty fuckin well if u ask me. attack the organ rather than attack that which is attacking the organ
I admire this man for sticking to his guns and never turning his coat. I know it's a minor point but Global Warming IS a hoax. It's Free Market Corporate America trying to make way for another profitable niche market. If you haven't listened to Australian Scientist Bob Carter give him a shot.
@canaan1967... you might benefit from availing yourself of a biology class sometime. What you do not know can kill you. Being a Republican is no excuse for being illiterate. You can read can't you?If you haven't read "THE REPUBLICAN WAR ON SCIENCE" give it a shot.
@canaan1967 ...have you ever considered taking a biology class? Bob Carter is a paid front man for the chem-ag industry. Being a Republican is no excuse for being illiterate. You can read can't you. If you havn't read THE REPUBLICAN WAR ON SCIENCE, give it a shot. You can read can't you? Look up OZONE...(it is not a video game, sorry)
You gotta research things deeper. A simple Google search pointed to Sourcewatch which reveals that Carter has worked for the Heartland Institute, who is funded by Exxon Mobile. All the global warming skeptic scientists do work for think tank organizations that are funded by the oil companies. The whole cap & trade thing is probably an attempt by other capitalists to profit off of what they feel is inevitable and it's not supported by most grassroots environmentalists.

Perverted Parenti is a liar, a Commie CCP whore who engages in hate speech against minorities and USA to curry favor with Commie dictatorships like the CCP. Perverted Parenti is a racist, a liar and an intellectual whore.
According to an article published some number of years ago in the Archives of Internal Medicine, it was estimated that as many as 200,000 Americans die as a side effect of prescription drugs EVERY YEAR. More recently, studies have indicated that 106,000 hospital in-patients die every year as a side effect of prescription drugs. Add estimates of 80,000 deaths annually from nosocomial - hospital acquired - infection, and countless thousands more deaths from unnecessary surgeries; scary stuff!

An example of his for crap politics is that he writes that Tibetan Buddhism is feudal exploitive terrible and the Chinese taking over the country was a good thing. Typical of ultra leftists - imperialism is good when "we" do it but but when the evil capitalist do it.
"Long time fan" is an exageration. I'll listen to his talks - he is intelligent and knowlegible and some of what he says I agree with - like this video.
The Dalai Lama is a facist mascarading as a spritual leader. If you do not supply the monks with food and money they reject you, will not pray for you and wish you harm mentally and spiritually. All religions are seriously flawed.
The Tibetans want to work out their own destiny and government without the interference from the Chinese imperialists -- there is widespread agreement about this.. Tibetan culture and ethnicity is being threatened by the flood of Han Chinese immigrants.
Your comment is typical leftist hypocrisy -- that imperialism is only bad when done by non-leftist governments.
Sorry Camdengreen... I think you've missed the point? The reason...one of your pillars of existence has been threatened and your knee jerk response it to simply shore it up. Its ok though because thats what you've been taught to do without you realising it. Peace to you.
At a time when the Chinese are flooding Tibet with Han people, suppressing Tibetan culture, making Tibetans second class citizens in their own country and in general oppressing the Tibetan people with their exploititive policies, it is disingenuous to say that Michael Parente is not justifying Chinese imperialism in Tibet when he talks about negative aspects of Tibet's history without condemning the Chinese imperialist invasion.
I like Michael Parente - but not his ultra-Leftist politics.
Again, the Dalai Lama has been very candid about shortcomings in Tibet's past. But negative things in a country's history do not give another country the right to invade them. The Tibetans want to work things out for themselves. China historically has NOT ruled Tibet, except fpr brief periods as invaders.
That said, I always enjoy listening to Michael Parente talks, even when not in complete agreement. I'm sure he is a great guy.
Why should he have to condemn it, and pay petty lipservice to an atrocity that is already well covered? Does proving his piety really mean anything in the long run? Parenti never has argued that China's invasion was justified. You're reading that into his commentary. Ask him yourself if you don't believe me, I'm certain he'll answer your question if you email him.
He's not ultra-left, you're misusing the term. Ultra left is a term used by Lenin to describe those who attacked Lenin from a left-wing perspective, even joining the right to fight the Bolsheviks. His politics are left, but not ultra left. Noam Chomsky is ultra left.

I have answered this ad nauseum. AGW is a pro nuclear pro oil hoax. See: counterpunch . org/nukes . html
AGW also will create a 10 trillion $ energy trading derivative scheme created by Blood/Gore.
AS a matter of fact the head of the IPCC is president of TaTa energy in India. AGW is pro corporate. It has co opted the left.
THis is where the research has taken Bob Carter. He stresses that AGW has nothing to do with pollution.

The Dalai Lama has admitted that there were situations in Tibet that were not good. But that is something for the Tibetans to work out for themselves.
Because things were not perfect in Tibet, that doesn't give the Chinese the right to invade.
Tibetans are now second class citizens in their own country. They want to work out their own destiny. They don't want to be controlled by Chinese.
They are suppressing the Buddhist wisdom and culture as a way of controlling the Tibetan people.
