I love this one! No hysteria surrounding the climate change religion, no sir! Nothing to see here!

I doubt it. But, if it makes you feel special to keep believing that we are at "the tipping point" and we "have to do something" to "save the planet," you go with your bad self.
"…he's simply saying it may not be as horrible as everybody thinks it [climate change] will be."
"Practically every climatologist on this planet agrees the climate is changing in ways that will affect our capacity to grow food, to fish, to travel or transport goods, or simply to inhabit this planet."
I would actually agree with you that humans have in the past caused very serious, but localized, environmental problems. We dont have to go any further back than the nuclear reactor accident in Japan to discover proof.
how do you figure? Obviously, it is logically possible for voluntary exchange to provide what the government provides, right? Unless you are arguing that the government is a bunch of magicians who wave a wand and create a police force.
we can affect the environment, and I am sure that we do. But enough to make the world inhospitable to humans, or enough to flood coastal cities like some bad hollywood movie? Sorry, that's when I gotta call bull.
is the NOAA fiddling with the data or not? That seems to be the relevant question.
Oh, yeah. You're hopeless. Your ignorance is complete. Your lack of knowledge of history and economics is total.
I understand you aren't arguing for a totalitarian government. No one would.
why don't you apply the questions you asked me about to government? I wish I knew the answer to that question. You paint this dramatic scenario of what could happen if a single organization "controls an entire industry." And you seemingly don't realize or willfully ignore that you are describing government's monopoly…
"So what happens when a corporation gains a monopoly and controls an entire industry, and doesn't allow any competition?"
what are you talking about? the excerpt I posted only shows that they tallied up the papers in question and saw that only 0.3 percent actually believe the full monty kookiness that climate change exists, is man-made and is the cause of MOST of the current warming.
Read this article all about the horrific consequences of the government being captured by climate change alarmists and how the government is then funneling taxpayer money into green energy boondoggles:
"Except when a corporation has a monopoly in an industry, prices go up not down."
Consumers don't have some "secret" power to control corporations. There is nothing secret about it at all. We either buy or don't buy, and corporations dance to the beat of that drum. There is nothing mystical about it. Those companies that supply what consumers want thrive, those that don't perish. As long as we…
keep believing your fantasy that there isn't big money to be made in perpetrating the myth that man is in control of the climate. I've got some solar cells made by Solyndra to sell you. Only cost the taxpayers $500 million for the wonders of green energy.
you're rambling. anything government provides, if it is a good or service people demand, could and would be provided by the free market, and it would be provided better and cheaper
