The American Denial of Global Warming

Polls show that between one-third and one-half of Americans still believe that there is "no solid" evidence of global warming, or that if warming is happening it can be attributed to natural variability. Others believe that scientists are still debating the point. Join scientist and renowned historian Naomi Oreskes as she describes her investigation into the reasons for such widespread mistrust and misunderstanding of scientific consensus and probes the history of organized campaigns designed to create public doubt and confusion about science.

james hansen- It appears that he has granted the world an eighty year reprieve. In 1988, he forecast that the West Side Highway in Manhattan would be submerged by 2008 – when he was only 67 years old.

he has learnt to predict things when he has gone.

@ezeeskank so says the oil industry troll denier sock puppet, go figure

[ezeeskank]

@Nightversionn Wow you are so naive and ill researched.It has already been established from the official documents from Copenhagen summit where those carbon taxes will go,straight into the hands of private banking interests.But of course you are oblivious to this fact like so many other facts that contradict your world view such as it is.It is obvious most of your opinions have been formed for you thru osmosis.

@laureloilcompanybush, hey, why do you think we are all trying to get cap and trade and carbon taxes passed? So you admit to global warming and the need to do something finally eh? LOL!!

cont..... however, are immune from prosecution, fines or imprisonment, regardless of how many rare, threatened, endangered or migratory birds and bats they kill. In fact, FWS data show that wind turbines slaughter some 400,000 birds every year. If “helter-skelter” applies to any energy source, it is wind turbines, reflecting their Charles Manson effect on birds.

The mere possession of an eagle feather by a non-Indian can result in fines and imprisonment, even if the feather came from a bird butchered by a wind turbine: up to $100,000, a year in prison or both for a first offense. Poisoning or otherwise killing common bats that have nested in one’s attic can cost homeowners thousands of dollars in fines.
