Global warming heats up RNC

OMG - this just makes me sick to my stomach. Lies and the lying liars who tell them. They are just making excuses for themselves.

Human caused global warming is a hoax and a money / powergrab.

al gore and his corporate cronies at GE stand to make billions by convincing people that the earths biosphere cools or warms because of people, not tidal forces on magma or the waxing an waning of the sun's activity.

EVERYONE needs to be skeptical of every politician

Oh, the irony. After eight years of executive orders, signing statements, and the systematic obstruction of Constitutional checks and balances, they now whine that the Democrats want a "centralized command-and-control government?”

Excuse me while I finish laughing. Sorry, that took awhile.

But on the subject of global warming, government is supposed to be about risk management. We certainly hear a lot about risk management when the subject is National Security. No potential threat seems too small to the Republicans to prepare for it by spending billions of our tax dollars. They counsel us about how we must be prudent, wise, and not take any chances and that we must tighten our belts for the cause. Because, they tell us, we must be prepared for a national security crisis or it could be the end of us as a nation. Prudence, they tell us, is the wisest path to walk.

But if we change the subject to global warming, then all of a sudden, their risk management philosophy (or lack thereof) is turned completely on its head by the very same people. They are telling us that they know with 100% accuracy that there is no such thing as global warming and there's absolutely no need to do anything about it. They don't even want to talk about it except as the subject of jokes or to poke fun at their political opponents. Personally, though, I find it a bit disturbing that the same people who claim to know with 100% accuracy that there is no global warming are the same people who claimed to know with 100% accuracy that there were massive stockpiles of WMDs in Iraq and that we would easily find them.

So what happens if we take steps to reduce our national carbon footprint? What disasters will befall us if we act as prudently on global warming as we did on WMDs in Iraq? Pollution would go down. People would live longer and happier lives. Health care costs would be reduced. Our planet’s resources will last longer. And we would be helping future generations of Americans enjoy a better America and a better world. The down side? Increased short-term non-recurring expenses for corporations? Lower profits on corporate quarterly reports? Fewer new Wall Street millionaires per year?

From a risk-management perspective, it seems like a no-brainer. The only problem is, decisions on such matters are not made from a risk-management perspective by our government. They are made based on what is best for a small handful of the richest and most powerful people in America.

Maybe it’s time we asked the corporations and government of America to tighten up their belts for our benefit for a change. We’ve certainly done it enough for them over the years.

What is funny about this is...The conservative voters are using science to make their argument when it works for them, but then they use their faith in god to discredit the science when that works to make their point.

If the ice age happened 10,000 years ago how does that work when the world is only 6,000 years old?

Is every Arizona delegate an ignorant idiot?! Why do Republicans have to TRY so hard to disprove global warming exists? You can see in every person's face the stubbornness and awfulness as they try to deny fact, and always have to mention Al Gore is trying to make money off this...

Alright! finally some smart talk from the neo-cons. They get it. It's good to know they're not over-reacting and getting bad information like the democrats. Democrats are just trying to make money off of it.

The constant release of toxins in the air by fossil fuels is nothing to worry about. You cannot see therefore it doesn't exist right? My videos never gets on TV but you have not excuses not to see the reality of it.

I question whether John McCain really sees the truth about Global Warming. Considering his own party only believes in the NeoHype and shows their ignorance of science in general.

I am republican, I am Christian, I am southern
And I believe in Global Warming!!!

Theres no global warming, Theres got to be another reason for the receding ice caps and more frequent and destructive storms across the world

LMAO
