Some of My Comments Over At A Lefty Website

They hate me:
I just love how it's "Climate Change" now, allowing the kool-aiders to blame absolutely every kind of weather on mankind. Little chilly — we're doomed! Little warm — we're doomed! Earhtquakes, floods, fires, too many hurricanes , to few hurricanes — we're doomed!
Did you notice when they started calling it "Climate Change?" It was after Gore (by way of private jet, no doubt) was seen giving "global warming" speeches in hotels covered in snow.
You guys are funny. But I won't respect you until you call it what it really is: Socialism.

Earthquakes aren't Bush's fault? Common ground.
The weather is cyclical. Mars is warming. Last I looked there's no capitalism on Mars. Bush isn't the president of Mars. No Wal-Marts on Mars… Hmmm???
The problem you guys have with me is that I'm old enough to remember when Socialism was couched as Global COOLING in the 1970s and I've also read a book or two about the depression when the weather really freaked out took a toll on our way of life, as opposed to now, where, like Mars (coincidence? I think not) we have a slight uptick in temperatures.
But hey, good move changing it to Climate Change. I can respect a strong opponent when I see one and now that you're able to blame rain, clouds, sun, wind, fire, whatever… on capitalism, well, who knows?
Want me to listen seriously? I have three criteria:
1. Embrace nuclear power. France gets 70% of their power from nuclear. It is clean and manageable.
2. Act like there's a crisis. You know, stop with the private jets, SUVs, mansions, limos… Chicken Little at least had the decency to act like the sky was falling.(Because he BELIEVED)
3. Stop protecting old-growth trees which are loaded with CO2 and re-release it into the environment inevitably through fire or rot. (Yes, Reagan was right. Trees pollute!) If we cut down those trees (which are no longer capable of taking in anymore carbon and therefore an inevitable danger to the environment as opposed to an aid) and preserve them as baseball bats and pianos they don't release their carbon.
You know what, I'm asking too much; 2 of the three will do. Hell one would be a shock.
When you take it seriously. I'll take you seriously. Until then Green is nothing more than the new Red.

I want from Al Gore what I want from all Enviro-preachers: Live in a two-bedroom, 1200-1400 square foot home, fly commercial, and drive a Prius.
I want him to call for the cutting down of old-growth trees before they release their stored carbon back into the atmosphere and call for rigidly regulated nuclear power.
