  • I can't tell if the Saudis are buying into the global climate warming change farce and rejecting it in a believing mode, or rejecting the global climate warming change farce, and rejecting it in an infidel mode. Probably the latter, but who can tell anymore?
    • They're only trying to protect their business, like anybody else. They hardly care about climate change (which is hardly the farce your right wing rags say it is.). You really can save the trolling for d_r...

      • which is hardly the farce your right wing rags say it is

        To quote the Instapundit, "I'll believe it's a crisis when the people telling me it's a crisis start acting like it's a crisis."
        Short of that, anthropogenic global warming is just another brick in the wall of lies directed at the flesh with intent to herd people and gain power.

        • Yes, of course, the instapundit knows best. Rush Limbaugh has more imitators than Elvis. I believe you might want to watch coastal flood insurance rates. And you shouldn't wait for a crisis to motivate you to prepare, or you can just leave it for the kids to worry about. Wouldn't be very nice though.

          • I take your messenger-shooting to indicate that you haven't a substantial reply. Oh, wait:

            you shouldn't wait for a crisis to motivate you to prepare

            Come on, son: you know that politics IS the generation of crises for the advancement of power.

            • Reply to what? Nothing was said...

              • The point is that our so-called elite are getting it on with ManBearPig.
                • Google can't translate gibberish to English, can you rephrase?

                  • "Climate change" is mostly a joke in service of The People Who (think they) Matter.
                    • Hmm, I see. So you're in complete denial that man's effluence has any effect on the planet... Everything is perfectly hunky-dory... Oookaaayy... Enjoy breathing in that Beijing smog.

                      You strawman me in the damn_registrars fashion. No. It's blatantly obvious to anyone conscious that we (a) have an ecosystem (b) it's a closed loop, and (c) climate is a chaotic system and therefore anything but constant.

                      What I will say is that ANY argument on ANY topic which is predicated on fear-mongering and/or guilt is HIGHLY suspect.

                    • This pack of self-aggrandizing nitwits going around the world and telling the common folk to commit economic suicide in support of a substantially debunked agenda would be singing a different tune, if they themselves felt the impact of their idiocy.

                      Yes well, putting the authorities under the same set rules as the rest of us as always been an age old problem, hasn't it? That's not a "lefty" climate thing. That's just plain old authoritarianism, a very common problem that you take very selective notice of, de

                    • That's just plain old authoritarianism, a very common problem that you take very selective notice of, depending who is running the show.

                      I think that's a fair cop. All I can tell you is: stand by. The Information Age means that all of the opposition directed at DC. . .will remain directed at DC. The GOoP has not exactly covered itself in glory this administration.
