Yes, it does work great because the majority of people won't spend the time and don't have the interests to educated themselves on the issues. That is why political advertisements work. Probably the same reason why celebrity endorsements of products work.

You two ever get tired of talking to yourselves?

A word of advice. It is better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you are a jerk then open it an remove all doubt.

Like I said my tea ****** friend, do you two ever get tired of talking to yourselves?

Actually I'm convinced you do talk to yourself all the time

You also seem to have genuine rage issues

I do feel a rage, against your tea party, the homegrown terrorists hiding behind our flag!

You're either a lunatic or imposter ... not clear which.

Besides, your side of the political lineup used to burn the flag so it's obvious you've never loved it nor served it

Funny, you're all funny. My best friend, who has a Princeton PhD in terrestrial hydrology and understands the literature better than anyone on this forum, is certain that human activity is greatly contributing to global climate change and that those changes are significant and will endanger millions of people in the next 50 to 100 years if not sooner. And climate change is the correct term because when the oceanic gyre is disrupted there will be areas that will become significantly cooler than they are now.

There have been many proposals for deceasing the damage, so don't claim that those liberals AKA scientists have no suggestions. But somehow all the proposals get stopped. I wonder by what consortium of people who profit from fossil fuels?

NASA budget: GOP committee wants to slash and burn Earth Sciences.

So cut the NASA budget to study the earth especially climate which has long been a NASA mission. Once they can't study it, then the GOP can say, well there is not good data, the science is not settled, etc.

And of course sneak the language change into the bill at the last minute as you know you don't want a discussion of the merits, or perhaps you just were awaiting the marching orders from your masters.

And what does the most successful corporation on the planet think about this? You might want to stop buying stuff from Apple if you're upset about it.

Ok, serious question for you ...

What would you DO about it ? What policies are needed and how do you avoid wrecking the economy (aka making the poor poorer) given that Russian, China and others will not change a thing?

Was a proud member of the vva. I served with distinction and have been fighting the right wing lunacy trying to start a war a week ever since. You probably cowered under your bedsheets or joined a fraternity in a community college!

You delight in being a lunatic don't you?

I am neither an economist, climatologist, hydrologist, nor any other expert in the relevant fields. But before there are solutions there needs to be recognition that action is needed. And that even if Russia and China and India don't act we need to lead. We are a huge percentage of the world's economy and yes we might take a hit, a tiny hit. And yes, as a progressive I would support the 1% which includes me, taking a bigger hit to protect the middle and lower income co-citizens from being driven further into income inequality. When Florida actively works against solar power you know something is very wrong.

As you delight in being a useless tea party nut job!
