    Environmental groups and other liberal activists renewed their attacks on the Democratic National Committee (DNC) on Friday for not committing to sponsor a primary debate focused exclusively on climate change.

    The DNC has already organized two debates, spread over four nights, but none of them have focused exclusively on climate change as demanded by some activists and 2020 candidates including Washington Gov. Jay Inslee.

    The activists’ ire was rekindled after the DNC released a messaging resolution on Friday titled “Resolution Recommitting the Democratic Party to the Work of Combating Climate Change and Creating Jobs by Growing our Clean Energy Economy.”

    These lefty activists will NOT be appeased.

    They want a democrat party debate that focuses solely on climate change.

    And yet the DNC isn't agreeing to do this.

    Oh climate will be part of the debate come general season, you betcha. I for one cant wait. The Dem nom will undoubtedly seek to kiss AOC's ring and that means they'll have to add her '11 years till the planet is melted by cow farts' rhetoric to their stump speeches. It means they'll have to court more than a few big PACs by pushing NGD - the greatest bit of crackpot lunacy since flat earth, so ridiculous that even its masterminds admit its all bogus. And it means they'll have to explain to middle class America why they should vote for the massive tax increases, limitations to personal freedoms, and crippled economy that accompany the so called 'fix for global warming' in addition to every other ultra radical change the Dems promise to enact.

    Maybe some of them are catching on?

    Michael Moore grows up

    [​IMG]

    Michael Moore finally grew up. He now realizes Captain Planet was just a front man for green energy boondoggles paid for by taxpayers.

    The Sierra Club received over $26 million from natural-gas giant Chesapeake Energy Corp. between 2007 and 2010 to help the group’s campaign against coal-fired power plants.

    Moore told the AP, "We all want to feel good about something like the electric car, but in the back of your head somewhere you’ve thought, Yeah, but where is the electricity coming from? And it’s like, I don’t want to think about that, I’m glad we have electric cars."

    He also told the AP, "I like so many people in the film and I’m one of those people who wanted to believe all of these years that that was the right path."

    Gibbs made the film. He produced Moore’s Bowling for Columbine and Fahrenheit 9/11 films.

    Gibbs told the AP, "It turned out the wake up call was about our own side.

    "It was kind of crushing to discover that the things I believed in weren’t real, first of all, and then to discover not only are the solar panels and wind turbines not going to save us … but (also) that there is this whole dark side of the corporate money … It dawned on me that these technologies were just another profit center."​

    Duh.

    That environmental BS was pumped hard in to public school and summer daytime cartoons, as well as weekend cartoons.

    Michael Moore will not be able to stop the flood of zombies that are the modern day environmental activist.

    Apparently earth’s CO2 levels were every bit this high 800,000 years ago and inquiring minds want to know who was responsible back then.

    No doubt Fred and Barney lighting up their Winstons at the quarry contributed mightily to prehistoric global warming.

    Its true. The atmosphere was very different in the past, which is why at the time earth supported large flying insects without a circulatory system, the needed gasses simply diffused 2/2 much higher partial pressures.

    Eh, I suppose, between the DNC fixing the primaries for whoever's turn it is and all the dishonesty involved in that, adding the global warming hoax to the mix might be even too much for the some liberals to stomach...

    Various gasses at various pressures have always been the case.

    CO2 for example was far higher in the past.

    Got it. Those oxygen levels look like they are coming up nicely with the warmth and CO2 levels. Are you sure about those carbon dioxide levels? Carbon dioxide levels have been as high as 6,000 ppm, but even that is only 0.6%.

    Irregardless of personal position on the environment (yep, I'm a Greenie), these privileged First Worlders are the very product of a lifestyle which uses 90% of the earth's resources. And that wouldn't necessarily be derisible .. if they weren't also insistent on retaining that lifestyle. IOW, the hypocrisy is so flagrant that the whole thing is reduced to arch comedy.

    That they think waving signs and demanding 'someone else fix it' (so they don't have to give up any of their comforts) makes them appear concerned citizens, adds an extra layer of hilarity.

    I wouldn't use that chart for significant figures but rather for trends.

    But yes, 6000 ppm is 0.6 percent.

    You again assume a fallacy that all liberals are Democrats and I am sure you are under the illogical assumption that all Republicans are conservatives...

    What difference does it make? Independent socialist or communists are never going to vote my way. I see no point in wasting time with useless distinctions...

    I think they are going about this all wrong. Climate change can be debated, but the affect of these particulates on our bodies cannot be disputed. Personally, I think we should avoid polluting our air/water and contaminating our soil as much as possible. We are dumping herbicides and insecticides as if the rain isn't going to wash it into our oceans. Focusing on the weather and plastic straws shows extreme ignorance.

    That might be more effective but if they pursue "climate change" its inherently a global issue-and the rest of the globe does not really care.

    China and India don't care.

    Are these people interested in some sort of compromise or are they just a bunch of eco zealots like Green parties in general across national borders?

    True. When it comes to these difficult issues, they choose the path of least resistance. Working with major polluters would require lots of effort, but outlawing straws gives them a warm feeling without having to lift a finger.
