Tragic is having grown adults look at the Great Lakes freeze solid and not thaw completely until late June of this year and claim the planet is "hotter than its ever been before" despite record breaking cold. It has not been that cold since 1912.
When you can deny actual observed reality because an "authority" told you to disbelieve reality you will believe anything you are told by that authority no matter how false it is. You lose the argument by hollering "denialist" at anyone that doesn't go along with the con. If the people that hurl that phrase about were told by the same authorities that Jews were causing global warming there would be another holocaust. To save the planet, of course.

Wow. The mark of a true "leader". Following "consensus". Good thing she wasn't in charge of Germany in the late 1930s.

Oh really? Well then you had better get the nuclear submarines, aircraft carriers, and other nuclear power sources like the sun to just shut down.

The government is the last holdout against nuclear power. It is the only thing preventing us from going to 100% carbon free pollution free energy tomorrow. Even though it is safer than flying in an airplane, far safer than riding in a car or crossing the street, our government is run by environmental quacks who would like to prolong the non-problem to be able to control and manipulate gullible sheeple like they did with the Obamacare fiasco. So it won't be solved anytime soon even though it could be. If we went to nuclear tomorrow, they'd have to dream up another false boogey-man to scare the sheeple with.

If there were a link and CO2 were causing global warming then it would be warmer now being that there is more of it now than there ever was in modern times. Unfortunately it is now colder than its been in most people's lifetimes. People are having to use more heating oil and nat gas to stay warm in the winter than ever before.

Don't worry. Some will try to visit the arctic places including the antarctic and get stuck in the record amount of ice that their Atari that they programmed themselves told them would be gone long ago. Then they'll have to be rescued by an icebreaker ship, which will then get stuck in the ice that was not supposed to be there. Actually this has already happened.

Its like getting someone to admit Bigfoot is a fake. There are simply too many people making money off of the hoax to ever get someone to stand up and admit they made the whole thing up for money just like Roger Patterson did for Bigfoot. So the Legend of Sasquatch er, Global Warming, lives on.

It warmed so much we now have record breaking cold. Instead of no artic ice like they said we now have record breaking ice. Instead of record breaking heat we have record cold. Everything they predicted would happen is wrong. There are now over 50 official excuses as to why its not hot. This winter we'll probably be fed another new reason Global Warming never made it here.

If CO2 were a greenhouse gas it would actually be hotter than its ever been before, not cooler. For instance, the Great Lakes would not have frozen solid last winter and took until nearly July to completely melt if it had actually been as hot as they claim it was supposed to be back in 1992. Particularly since it had not been that cold since 1912. Record breaking cold is a fact and reality that don't fit with the Climate cult's dogma so they resort to things like trying to say the past did not happen as per the Maunder Minimum, Medieval warm period, not understanding that Greenland was once green, etc.

It has never been as hot in the world as 1936. Its been a long time since Canadian border states had temps at 121 degrees Fahrenheit. Would that the planet were actually as hot as they used to say it would get we would have a whole lot less energy used in the wintertime. Of course that has not happened. It won't happen either but it would really be good if it did. It would also be nice if there were no more snow exactly like the Hadley Climate Research Center said in the year 2000: "We have in all likelihood seen our last snowfall. Snow would become a rare and exciting event. Children would grow up not knowing what snow looked like." Who says all that tax money given to them was a waste?

Which of course explains why last winter it was so cold that all of the Great Lakes froze over after not having done so in more than 100 years. Yep. Any "hotter" than this and we'll go into another ice age.

Here is an idea. Lets give the government even more power than before. That will show them! And lets always vote the party of big government because they say they want to give us freebies all the time!

When you give up your rights, no matter how seemingly insignificant they may seem at the time or for whatever good reason they have to justify it, you will not get them back. Most people sleepwalk through that thinking their government is their friend. Thousands of years of history have shown otherwise. Stingray should not exist. But since its as unconstitutional as the social security system is now, some Gilligan out there will ask "but what would we replace it with". I'm sure they'll also say Stingray is "for the children" like they claimed that law enforcement not being able to intercept iphone6 encrypted data would support pedophiles.

Nothing works well when you rely on the government to do it. Too slow, too inefficient, too pc.

Yes, but global warming is as big a problem as a Bigfoot uprising. We need to prioritize our goals! I am sure they'll say we can end Ebola by fixing global warming and then tax our electricity bill some more.

Its the nature of government to try to scare you to death with imaginary boogey-men. Then a real live, fast acting one comes along and on cue they mess it up!!! I am sure they'll handle Ebola as well as they did AIDS!

Government has done very poorly as a sentinel to alleviate externalities. They take way too long to come to a decision on what they will allow to happen and in many cases appear to be ignorant of solutions staring them in the face. In the case of fuel for cars, they have done all they can to suppress technology that we already possess to increase gas mileage (and therefore decrease pollution) in which they could easily have fixed it in 1 day. For 1 good example of hundreds:

• * A diesel engine is inherently more efficient than a gasoline engine at just about any size, but the govt. saw to it that taxes on diesel stayed much higher than for gasoline.
• * Modern diesel engines get anywhere from 10 - 20 mpg MORE than gasoline engines of the same size and horsepower
• * So for every 10 gallons of fuel a car holds that would mean an extra 200 miles more out of the tank
• * Modern direct injection diesel engines are now burning sulfur-free diesel so they are about as clean as gasoline. Therefore there is no longer a reason to overtax the fuel
• * So of course the govt. leaves 30-50 cents more tax on a better, more efficient fuel as we go into the future, ignorant, wasteful, and even more polluting

Don't expect them to fix it either. Solving a problem is not their business as far as they are concerned. If government actually solved problems there would eventually be no need for them, and that haunts their nightmares. Lets see, more than 200 miles more distance per every car out there: 200 miles * 1,000,000,000 cars worldwide ~~~ 200,000,000,000 more miles traveled per car on the same amount of fuel. Energy "crisis" solved.

If you consider the fact that environmental quacks don't want us to get to our own oil under our own feet the cost to achieve a free energy economy becomes enormous.

• *By blocking us from becoming energy independent they think they're doing us a favor when all they're doing is making everything more expensive.
• *They think they did just that when they blocked the Keystone Pipeline - all they did was make it travel by rail instead.
• *This poor substitute makes it inherently more expensive and more environmentally dangerous, more prone to spills, derailments, and other accidents.

Lord save the earth from environmental quacks!
