To Blair. Couldn’t put it better myself. Too many other issues were far more important and now we have a down economy so people and big business will become stingy as they are afraid of losing their 4 big mansions.

They will have to tell their peers they lost 1 mansion and a power boat.

The real reason Conservatives don’t *get it* and I know from first hand experience is that they don’t go to college and for a very good reason because college is now a debt trap for more then 50 percent of Americans rich or poor. Free or bond.

So as a result they don’t know how to read a graph and can’t get higher end tech jobs.

I was taught to read graphs so I can figure out the gist of it pretty fast and did well in school when it comes to charts and graphs where a lot of my peers just struggled and struggled and I’m autistic too which should’ve screwed me.

That is the main answer to why people don’t believe in GW because they can’t and won’t understand charts and graphs so it looks like gobbly gok to them.

It has nothing to do with *religion* which is political scapegoating by the media to avoid the issue. It has nothing to do with *traditionalism* which doesn’t even mean anything and can mean everything.

When you put too many cultures into one pot without any organization you get a rat race and then there winds up being NO culture that has any identify left.

Scientific evidence shows putting too many rats in a cage disease becomes rampant and they all wind up fighting each other which is what we are being subject to.

In many modern cities when natural disasters strike in other nations that has also proven the case but most people only pay attention to sensational headlines instead of seeing the forest for it’s trees.

We’ve been hearing these deniers discount warnings for 30 years and people are still buying their garbage? When are you anti-science people going to pull your heads out of your asses and realize you are being manipulated?

please provide references to this sentence, if you are willing to stand by it “Scientists have known for a very long time that the proportion of greenhouse gasses in the Earth’s atmosphere controls (along with other factors) overall surface and upper ocean heat balance”

[…] So there is not new information suggesting a higher climate sensitivity, or a quicker realization of it, but there is a continuation of the consensus that the value is not low, despite efforts by so called luke-warmists or denialists to throw cold water on this hot topic. »»»» READ MORE!!! »»»» […]

I find it amusing that you blame “denialists” for the fact that we did not see an investment in clean energy in the 1980’s. As someone who lived through that era I can say that denialists were a non-issue in that era. The reason the investment was not made was that the worlds was undergoing a global recession, it was considered expensive and there lacked a political will to do anything that would slow down the economy and hurt the economy’s chances of recovery. To claim “denialists” had anything more than a marginal or ancillary effect is simply a creative rewriting of history that can be called nothing less than a form of fan fiction. The reality is that in the developed world environmental issues have always taken a backseat to economic ones. Every major environmental advance has taken place during years of prosperity and years of economic downturn are always related to downturns in environmental and ecological awareness. It is fine to bemoan the errors of the past, it is not fine to re-write history ignoring the fact that many of your readers were alive and active when that history took place.

I have always been a strong believer in the fact that our climate i changing at an alarming rate. We as humans are ruining the only planet we have to live on. This post is very thorough and informative. How do you feel we should go about spreading the word to the rest of the population to be more Earth conscience?
