Thanks!

Feel-good politics, education, and rationalization.

I doubt 1% of the Climate Change believers can speak to the technical merits of their position.

On Nov 6 VA went for Obama.”

...voter fraud in Va was rampant. In NY it wasn’t necessary.

The actual question:

Q38. Do you think that the dramatic storms that have hit New York State the last two years - Hurricane Sandy this year and Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee last year - are isolated weather events, or do you think that they demonstrate global climate change?

How do you quantify whether your idea is working?

The same way Obama claims that his economic policies have "saved" millions of jobs. Just think about how much worse climate change would have been without Obama's green policies.

(Logic, put forth by idiots, that can't be argued with).

Yeah, well, they probably voted overwhelmingly for Obama, too, so their intelligence level was already established, even before they answered this survey.

do they sprinkle stupid dust in the waters of NYC?

"Siena College spokesman Steve Greenberg says the poll finds 69 percent of voters from every part of the state think the severe storms , including Sandy and Irene over the past two years, are because of global climate change."

I assume that means it’s balmy in Minnesota for this time of year? It was 45 in Boston today.

There is not a question of whether or not the climate is changing, the issue has always been whether it has been caused by man. That’s why Gore made it a political issue. He and other so-called “environmentalists” want all countries to sign the Kyoto Treaty so they can advance their agenda and restrict industrial production world-wide.

And they claim that those who believe in God are the ones who are scientifically “challenged”.

Hardly. Virginians were in three categories, Romney voters, stupid voters and stupid nonvoters. Even in the coal counties were they knew they had to vote, they had lower voting age turnout than the black cities.

People used to look in awe upon the people of New York...at least that’s what old radio shows and movies from the 1940’s would lead you to believe.

Now they seem to be actively competing to be known as the most gullible dullards in the country.

I’m amazed that anyone but diehard Marxists still want to promote this Socialist garbage. Especially after all the evidence that it’s a hoax.

Even the Scarecrow figured out the Wizard wasn’t legit.
Toto has pulled the curtain away from the AWG scam dozens of times and yet there are still Climate Alarmists that believe every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of Al gore.

Maybe it’s like a magic trick, they all WANT to be fooled.

"The Empire State Divide" is a video from Karen Moreau (of the Foundation for Land and Liberty) about New York's environmental ban on hydraulic fracking and the struggles of the people who presently own the land. A comparison is made to Pennsylvania where fracking is legal, the land owners are flourishing, and America is benefiting from tapping the energy resources.

The Empire State Divide - Part 1 - Ruins of the Hudson River
The Empire State Divide - Part 2 - A House Divided
The Empire State Divide - Part 3 – A Tale of Two States

Karen presented her short video (along with other people who shared videos on other free market issues) at the Grand Old Picture Show held in Tampa coincidental with the RNC convention a couple months ago.

Years of indoctrination in our education and media have paid off for the left.

NYPIRG keeps knocking on my door to get me to sign petitions and give them money to fight fracking. They are incredulous when I tell them I am for it.

Panicked lib: “We’ve gotta stop global warming!”

Sure, sure, Holmes, but I gots some questions for yuz...

*i have the answers:

Just how ya gonna do that?
What’s it going to cost, both directly and indirectly in our economy?*$700 trillion (true answer)

What is the timeline over which the plan will work? *100 years, which will reduce the temp about .0000937 degrees over the course of a century...if they’re right
How do you quantify whether your idea is working?*Wait 100 years and find out
What will you do if it doesn’t measurably work in your timeline? * Nothing, we will all have become a poorer than third world country all around the world with no hope of economic recovery

Do you have a source for that?
