The progressively stupid movement is on the loose! I love the principle idea behind this is “…the fact that it CAN happen…” this is called assumption, the tool of presumptuous fools. I agree that we need windmills, why don’t we have windmill farms and windmill jobs ? Oh yeah, the government gave all our money to the banks and auto industry….great, more cars and car loans, and car insurance, and car tax, and inspection stickers, and gasoline, and gasoline taxes. emissions taxes.

Cap and Trade is a very bad thing. BTW, it does matter if Global Warming is true or not. The majority is not always right.

I plan on taking my own initiative on making myself energy independent as much as I can. If enough people did it, then there really isn’t a debate on whether we can do it right?

Can’t wait around for the government to do anything, obviously.

When Shell & BP are purchasing all of the Renewable Energy patents, that makes it difficult for the Private Sector to bring these energy alternatives to fruition.

“It’s not necessary for us to believe it’s necessarily true what the majority of climate scientists are telling us is true. It’s enough that they say it’s true, even if it’s not true. Because that means that we have a non-trivial threath of ecological catastrophy; even if it does not necessarily have to happen, it could happen. And that so therefore we have to take urgent action to dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions throughout the world.”

YES THAT MAKES GREAT SENSE MR. POLLIN

Until corporations are REQUIRED to put env. concerns above the bottom line NOTHING will change.
They own the gov’t – here & thru out the world;
They own the resource bases & extraction systems;
They own their stock-holders – s.h.s are invested in corps. to make profits not to save the world.
The majority of stocks are not even held by people – they are held in trusts & bundled into mutual funds.
So there is always the excuse that the SYSTEM requires corps to continue as planned & fuck you all.

Why do the poor people have to clean up while the rich make no effort? that isn’t clean up, it is a cash grab.

Could the observed global warming have some more cosmic cause like the nearest star (commonly called the sun)? The Malthusian policies being contemplated to reduce the supposedly ruinous rate of anthropogenic greenhouse gas release are truly frightening. TheRealNews has failed to do its homework.

This can`t be done without lifestyle and culture change
