Sen. Boxer to climate change deniers: ‘You are endangering humankind’
The Hill ^ | 12/07/11 12:14 PM ET | Andrew Restuccia

Senate Environment and Public Works Committee Chairwoman Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) blasted skeptics of climate science Wednesday, alleging they are “endangering humankind.”

“The message I have for climate deniers is this: you are endangering humankind,” Boxer said during a press conference in the Capitol. “It is time for climate deniers to face reality, because the body of evidence is overwhelming and the world’s leading scientists agree.”

Boxer criticized skeptics of climate science, alleging they are standing in the way of significant progress toward lowering greenhouse gas emissions both domestically and internationally.

“Wishing that climate change will go away by clinging to a tiny minority view is not a policy — it is a fantasy,” Boxer said. “Problems do not go away by pretending they do not exist. And the longer that vocal minority insists on keeping their heads in the sand, the more it endangers billions of people around the globe and threatens to dramatically and negatively reshape the world as we know it.”

Every time one of these congress persons make a statement like this, someone should investigate their investments.

Even if you concede the climate is getting hotter globally (big jump), you come to pretty much the opposite conclusion. Historically, periods of warming have been times of increased prosperity for humankind. So, those who seek to slow global warming are the ones actually endangering us.

Spot on.

We have it where I live too, but we call it weather.

That weather thing has been happening since the beginning and will likely continue until the last day. Making us live in caves without heat, ice water or toilet paper will not effect the weather.

Culling a significant population of liberal idiots from the planet would eliminate the problem of "global warming" overnight. Climate change, on the other hand, is as real as the tide and equally threatening.

Humankind has endangered itself with its stupidity, greed, corruption, and lust for power and control.

Hey babs. You socialist democratic frauds picked the wrong gas to hang your hat on. You democrat frauds also buried your collective heads in the sand after the emails came out. Babs, you ever read any of the emails. I know it’s hard for a socialist to do. It’s much easier to continue living the LIBERAL LIE, ain’t it babs.

Sadly, Babs is so stupid she probably believes it. She is not one of the smarter ones who understand that it is just being used to control industry.

Boxer is as dumb as a box of rocks. The only ones dumber than she is are her brain-dead-idiot supporters that keep sending her back to D.C. every 6 years.

We’ve looked at the “solutions” for the AGW non-problem and decided we’ll take our chances with Mother Nature, rather than put our eggs in your basket, Babs.

Really? Are you sure? Cause I was pretty sure that it was fascist totalitarian tyrants who were doing that.

If Boxer gets her way, there will be mass starvation.

That is her occult agenda! As a progressive, she will perhaps openly agree with the premise that the world is overpopulated by many billions of units, one can conclude that the elite (Boxer being of the chosen) desire to find a "humane" way to remediate the problem. (Well one they can be found blameless for)

These same marvelous smarties caused DDT to be banned, achieving the deaths of many millions, and abortion to be legalized, another many millions: Their score is better than Hitler's, Stalin's, Mao's, Pol Pot's - and all their other secret heroes. These people are despicable scum.

Strangle the exploitation of our most prolific energy source, and get the desired result. Lots slated to die, thanks to these foul self-serving creeps like "BOXER".
