Reading is fundamental. I didn’t deny climate change. I said that it doesn’t worry me. I say that because the climate change group has been beating the drum for global cooling, then global warming and now just global climate change since it’s easier to say something changed and therefore we caused it. Bright ball of fire in sky has far more to do with climate change than man.

And now to the second part of that statement that you and the other reading comprehension challenged folks miss read. I’m for leaving the planet a better place for my children. That means cleaner power, cleaner fuels, recycling and so on and so forth. But you want to cut yourself off at the knees trying to cram emission reduction down the throats of a world that isn’t ready for it yet. Technologically or politically. It’s a practical, step by step process, and not giant leaps in stupidity like transatlantic trains.

And if you really had the courage of your convictions you’d resign your pilot job today. Right the hell now. Otherwise you’re just a hypocrite pumping pollution at high altitude into the atmosphere because darn that paycheck is nice.

This is about humans destroying the earth at a rapid pace.
The left is standing in the way of the solution that could save us all. Nuclear power, and isobutane refrigerant.

Let's get real. We humans will annihilate this planet one way or another. The focus should be colonizing other planets.

Then we can begin destroying the next rock. Turns out the aliens coming to destroy in all those sci fi movies are us!

There is a fight for control within the Democratic party similar to the tea party uprising. All the Dems are saying they support it so they don't get challenged in future primaries.

It is very easy to support a policy that promises nothing but sunshine if you know it won't pass and therefore don't have to implement it.

Humans didn’t evolve for space travel, we aren’t going anywhere, unless we become robots.

and then he/she goes on to deny anthropogenic climate change:

A couple things you might need to learn outside of pundit shows: 1)global cooling was never widely accepted among scientists. Warming temps are accepted. 2) the shift to “climate change” is mostly a way to dissuade idiots from thinking that cold weather disproves climate trends. 3) the natural changes in solar radiation intensity are already accounted for in climate research...research that pretty clearly demonstrates anthropogenic climate change.
And now to the second part of that statement that you and the other reading comprehension challenged folks miss read. I’m for leaving the planet a better place for my children. That means cleaner power, cleaner fuels, recycling and so on and so forth.

Big changes take big ideas and long term thinking.

Technologically or politically. It’s a practical, step by step process, and not giant leaps in stupidity like transatlantic trains.
Why are you using red herrings like transatlantic trains that literally nobody has proposed?

And if you really had the courage of your convictions you’d resign your pilot job today. Right the hell now. Otherwise you’re just a hypocrite pumping pollution at high altitude into the atmosphere because darn that paycheck is nice.
I can’t even express to you how aggressively my eyes are rolling at this dumb **** comment.

We didn't evolve to the moon.

We made a choice.

Be interesting to see what happens to the greater Southwest when they get the last slurp from Lake Mead. A much closer problem than CC.
