    Climate Denial Food Chain

    Climate Denial Food Chain: Conservative Media Run With Baseless Climate Science Conspiracy Theory

    Taking their cues from the Drudge Report, right-wing media are echoing a London Telegraph columnist's false claim that scientific agencies intentionally adjusted years of weather station data to show a global warming trend that isn't really there, which the author dubbed the "biggest science scandal ever." But far from being a scandal, historical temperature records are routinely subject to peer-reviewed adjustments to account for changes to measuring instruments, the time of day measurements are taken, and other factors -- and they do not negate a global warming trend.

    I think the headline says it all. Grasping at straws so they can keep their corporate overlords happy.

    By the same token should we not be wallowing in our own defecation over the asteroid that is coming to make climate a non issue?

    Many are afraid to embrace climate change.

    I reject the notion that we can buy our way out of an inevitable natural cycle.

    As opposed to not grasping at straws and still working to keep their corporate overlords happy.

    Either way, Blue or Red, the corporate overlords are being kept fat and happy.

    Few, if any, are arguing that climate does not change. But, getting ripped off by carbon taxes and other tax schemes is not going to alter the climate. They are only going to make most people much poorer, and a few much richer.

    The name of this thread should be, The Food Chain of Climate Taxes and Regulations.

    BTW, the war crazies are eager to tax everyone for climate. They may be working on a tax for breathing too.
