$4.5 Million Up In Smoke: How Billionaire Tom Steyer’s Anti-Koch Ads Flopped
newsbusters.org ^ | 12/24/2014 | Mike Ciandella

Liberal billionaire Tom Steyer has had a really bad year.

He failed to get other left-wing donors to join his crusade to make climate change the No. 1 election issue. Then he wasted nearly $75 million backing liberal candidates. Four out of the seven politicians he and his NextGen Climate Action group backed lost. And the few races where liberals won owed little or nothing to Steyer’s bizarre and sometimes inaccurate campaign ads.

Tom Steyer’s wasting 75 million dollars has as much of an effect on his life as me buying a megamillions ticket that doesn’t pay off. Meanwhile copy writers, print shop workers, cameramen, poll canvassers, etc., got some extra money for a nice Christmas with their families. Let him keep spending his money. It might not do him any good in elections but it helps in other ways.

Thanks.

I always ask questions like those. (esp., “What is the perfect temperature?”)

Until you can tell me exactly WHAT is the “proper temperature”, don’t be messing with the thermostat.

And all that, as if puny man even has control of the thermostat.

"Remember that old saying: a fool and his money are soon parted."

But his spending did contribute to the 5% growth in GDP. s/

There was a post here the other day concerning some 1970s prognostication about 2 [degC] being the “Climate Change Tipping Point”. Turns out, that number was arrived at and offered by a gentleman with [wait for it] an ECONOMICS PhD!

The article went on to relate that the number was then carried forward in time until a recent “devastation report” was issued concerning what would happen at said “Tipping Point”. The devastation report was issued by [wait for it] THE WORLD BANK!

I think I see a pattern.

Oh, and never mind the fact that the UN assigned a railroad design engineer from an emerging third world region to head the IPCC.

What is the perfect temperature?

For me it's 69° F., year round. Not 68°, not 70° but 69°.

You're too cold.

I'm going to vote for Global Warming as everybody knows 72° is the perfect temp.
