So getting back to this "credible" Climate Scientist. I believe even he says in the video that humans pulled the trigger that set off climate change, global warming, what ever you want to call it. I think he is saying that now that it has started we can't change it or do anything about it. We have set things in motion. I'm not agreeing or disagreeing because I don't know and neither does anybody else on this thread.
A Credible Global warming Scientist!

I'm sure Kevin will be back shortly. Why don't you guys just find yourselves a nice pole and prove who can make the highest mark?
Politics used to be forbidden, but apparently that is no longer true. Civility has also gone by the wayside.

Let's face it - there is a ton of money for the powers that be in selling gasoline and oil based fuels to the U.S consumer, government and military. Thats what drives our continued use, global warming or not. It's hugely profitable and until something tips that over, things are going to stay the same. That's what it's all about in this country - not God, global warming, the Earth running things or anything else. It's about money - lets call a spade a spade here.

That's true as a whole, with some nuances :laughing: I think the money will take care of itself, it always does. Only we can take care of the earth.
Putting the earth first is in direct conflict with the money/convenience/divine factors. That is the genesis of these types of discussions. It is why I like the phrase 'cheap energy at any price'.

Lets get real. It's not about the interpretation of the constitution either. It's about huge profit and the possible threat to that profit, whether you are a little shareholder or the CEO. Why call it anything else? The truth never hurt anybody in the end. Oh, and it's also a threat to life style and our feeling that as Americans we have the right to bear and drive large automobiles and tractors. Just how it is, no big deal. That's how people are.
Suddenly BP who down to their last 6 billion a few days ago has come up with 20 billion to fund the consumer relations escrow fund. According to the Fox guys we are supposed to feel sorry for BP. We don't know that it's their fault, it could be a subcontractor, they could go bankrupt, etc. They took the risk and they lost, now let them live up to their responsibilities. It's the right thing to do, profit or no profit.

bstrom..you are right about BP in my view, but what makes me sick to see is the politicians whose hands are far from being clean, pontificating and grandstanding in these hearings..I am listening to the hearings and not one Congressman has asked the BP CEO about how to get the oil cleaned up quicker..they are all just trying to score political points and it is disgusting to me as a taxpayer and a citizen. Just disturbing and disgusting.....I don't trust any politician - Period - they are all crooks in my opinion !
