>Tell me why would business want to pollute the Earth and kill everyone, then they would have no customers. So that they can retire early??

Dude... profit NOW. How many companies think about their profit in 200 years?

What the alarmist don't realize is that the earth is still coming out of it's latest ice age. There is no wand to wave. It cracks me up when people think they control nature. Far too high an opinion of themselves. Just like the damage from oil spills that "will be ruined for thousands of years", yet within a few years they are back to normal. There is a balance. When something goes one way too far, nature corrects it.

These liberals are actually control freaks and they want to believe they can control the earth as well.

Good question! Why do they? There has been case after case of big business doing exactly that......polluting the environment and killing people. Just had a big oil spill where I live.......no one will cop to it. Animals are dying left and right.

So why do they? Are they all red voters and don't believe the junk science as you put it? They don't believe oil kills wildlife; that mercury is a tetrogen that damages fetal development and causes undesirable mutations?

What exactly hinders you all from dealing with reality?
