Global warming denial? You trollin' bro?
Considering there is no 100% absolute proof by scientists to prove one way or the other (there wouldn't be any controversy if there is), how can you say this is taking place?
Lets not forget that scientists can't even all agree on what is actually changing. First it was Global warming, the ice caps are melting, then it was Global Dimming, then it was the whole doom and gloom prediction of the next Ice Age. What is it now? Oh, scientists have changed it to Climate Change, essentially turning their scientific argument into such a broad argument that they are diluting their facts to the point of merely explaining nothing!
Small wonder that the current Administration champions this sort of view. Small wonder that Solynda, who's owner just happened to be an Obama campaign donor, got $535 million loan with no strings attached and a dismissal of the vetting process that essentially said "this company will fail!". It must be strange that Al Gore happened to procure a loan for a car company that he owns a significant holding in, from the same administration, to produce cars in Finland? Let us also remember that these cars are targeted for people who can afford the $89,000 price tag. Oh, these cars will be electric?
Yes, we must transition to Electric cars and Green Energy, which strangely enough, it owned and operated by the same people who happen to be pushing this same agenda? Ack, conspiracy!
Yes, humans do have an impact on the climate, but how much? Are we absolutely guaranteed to completely overhaul global warming/climate change/global dimming issue if we do everything that they say we must have to? No.
And here is why: "For us to come close to achieving that perfect balance between man and nature, we are going to literally have to condemn
BILLIONS of people to death. This is through lack of essential services, such as food, water, heating, and medical aid, police services, etc. Turn off millions of power plants around the globe, shut down every single highway and wreck every single car, get rid of every single ship at sea, eliminate heating and plumbing for every single house and home and your still left with too many people trying to start fires with logs and shit to keep themselves warm, or turning into farmers to cultivate the land to feed themselves."
But then I suppose the opposite end of this spectrum would be to rape the earth and destroy it for everybody else in the future!
'Foreign oil' is a bit of a canard. http://www.usatoday.com/money/industries/energy/story/2011-12-16/us-oil-boom/52053236/1
Read the link, it's interesting. In summary:
A. We export about the same level of oil as we import (the article is about how we exported more than we imported last year).
B. Gas prices are linked to the global trade value, so despite the net exporting, gas prices remain high.
As for the results of fracking, from a neutral point of view: http://skeptoid.com/episodes/4275
Really? You mean by taking your own energy production into your hands, eliminating the need in the future to rely on oil imports, and thus not subjecting yourself to buying from a highly volatile market place, it is an unfounded belief?
"American consumers benefit little from the U.S. oil boomlet, because their fuel prices depend heavily on a global oil market that remains tight and has probably already peaked in production" (from the article)
So my statement still holds true, produce your own energy, get off importing oil, and American consumers will benefit through cheaper energy bills and everything else that flows from it.
http://www.esa.doc.gov/Blog/2011/03/09/oil-prices-and-trade-deficit"Last year, the petroleum-related trade deficit totaled $265 billion and accounted for 42 percent of our total deficit in goods."
That means you won't be spending hundreds of billions on importing oil. All of this money can be either use to pay down the debt or fund social programs!
