Climate change could mean the extinction of our species

[Stavros]

I think you are being unfair, Faldur, Cuchulain has made an interesting point. I was once told that a major reason why Lee Raymond, when he was CEO of Exxon, rejected climate change, was that he was afraid that the company would be taken to court by an environmental group on the grounds that if the oil companies conceded that they had contributed to climate change, they should be liable for penalties. How it could ever stand up in court I don't know, and although BP, Shell, Arco as it was, and other imdependent oil companies have acknowledged the human element in climate change, they haven't been sued. But if someone tried it, it would be a costly waste of time for all but the lawyers. Of course, if you believe in climate change, we are all to blame -but that is why the remedy is in a universal change of behaviour, from treating the environment as if it didn't matter, to cherishing it as if it were our children. I don't think the consumption of coco-cola, or even coca-cola, or Pepsi would help....though the world could very well end in a fizzzz....

Who's Bob Lutz?
"Robert Anthony "Bob" Lutz is a former Vice Chairman at General Motors and upper level manager at several car companies."

So, he has a stake in so-called "denying" global warming. I mean, saying global warming is real, is happening presents a threat to the entire automobile industry. So, I certainly understand where he's coming from.

Again, I understand why the right want to deny global warming. And it is the right. Isn't it?
Ya know, it's a left wing conspiracy. These people that push global warming are merely watermelons. Green on the outside. But RED on the inside. They're socialists. Who want to destroy the free market -- and ultimately freedom. No wonder the right are terrified.
The idea of a socialist plot to destroy capitalism (of course we don't have a pure capitalist system... but that's beside the point) should worry anyone that values their so-called freedom --
Again, to acknowledge that global warming is real and is happening is a sharp attack on Milton Friedman -- and his economic theories, his beliefs. Because we'd have to regulate the hell outta corporations. And that's a big no no to the ol' Friedman model --

LOL.

Sen. Inhofe: The Bible Proves Global Warming Is A “Hoax”

"Well actually the Genesis 8:22 that I use in there is that “as long as the earth remains there will be springtime and harvest, cold and heat, winter and summer, day and night.” My point is, God’s still up there. The arrogance of people to think that we, human beings, would be able to change what He is doing in the climate is to me outrageous."
