Markey: Deniers of global warming should 'start their own country'

Rep. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) suggested a novel use Saturday for a 100-square-mile ice sheet that has broken off Greenland.

“An iceberg four times the size of Manhattan has broken off Greenland, creating plenty of room for global warming deniers to start their own country," Markey said in a statement. “So far, 2010 has been the hottest year on record, and scientists agree arctic ice is a canary in a coal mine that provides clear warnings on climate."

Some scientists have attributed the breaking off of the ice sheet to abnormally warm temperatures this year.

Markey, who chairs the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming, co-authored the House version of the climate change bill that's currently stalled in the Senate.

He said it was "unclear how many giant blocks of ice it will take to break the block of Republican climate deniers in the US Senate who continue hold this critical clean energy and climate legislation hostage."

Massachusetts is free to ban the use of oil, gas and coal for energy production if they want to. Every state has a right to do that. Until they do they’re just demagogues hypocritically pointing fingers at others.

No thanks Markey. I suggest we put your sorry Libtard administration on it though.

And then they’d invade it.

Markey: Deniers of global warming should 'start their own country'

We'll take the United States, Markey. Which country would you like?

Markey obviously didn't read deep enough......or the right article. The Times of London had a piece I read on this subject said that the last time a large piece of ice broke off the same ice sheet was 1962(...The last time such a large ice island formed in Greenland was in 1962 when the Ward Hunt Ice Shelf calved an island....

...global warming is a hoax, always has been, always will be.

I am so in.

Global warming frauds should start their own planet

[mountainlion]

Demorats are the cold ones that should consider the ice home.

Hang all of the communists

Every last one of them.

Well, this time around the immigration policy could be a bit tighter!

Anotner P.O.S. who needs to be spat upon whenever he shows his face in public.

No sell Markey. Just because you authored a bill, does not mean that you can put the Genie back in the bottle about Global Warming. The smoking guns were the leaked (not hacked) e-mails. bye bye to that BS

Markey is another Massachusetts idiot. We have plenty of ‘em up here.

No, Markey's outstandingly stupid, even by MA standards. I was happy to note (hearing a call to a talk show today) that someone else remembers when Markey was outraged about high cable TV bills -- whatever he did, my cable bill (and the caller's) doubled! If he had no power, he'd be good for comic relief . . .

[bronxville]

Very convenient.

[wally_bert]

Sounds like a winning game plan when/if CW2 comes.

[airborne]

Advocates of man made climate change should go start their own planet.

In another solar system, preferably.

[hal ogen]

Sen. markey...you are a fool, sir. Please return to a college to take a course in logic and one in scientific method.

[rockvillem]

I am so in.

Me too. Once all the productive "deniers" left, the leftist idiots like Markey would probably suggest an invasion of the new country. Hope and change, baby!

November is coming.
