Climate science is a hoax: Big Oil, GOP, God say so

[n2doc]

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (MarketWatch) — Yes, climate science is a hoax. Why? No solution. The problem is obvious. But talk’s cheap. No solution? No consensus? No political will? Too much science. No action. Nothing. America’s lost its soul. Lost the can-do spirit that made it a great nation. Inspired me as a U.S. Marine. And the clock keeps ticking ....

Thirty million Americans just don’t trust scientists warning of a “95% certainty” humans cause global warming. But they do trust Big Oil, the GOP, God. They honestly believe climate science is a dangerous fear-mongering liberal conspiracy. Listen, we’ll explain:

Recently Florida Sen. Marco Rubio joined the deniers: “I think all science deserves skepticism.” And in a recent debate all four candidates in the GOP primary for North Carolina governor denied climate change was manmade, agreeing with the current governor, a former long-term Duke Power executive.

Yes, their party position is clear, mapped out by Oklahoma Sen. James Inhofe in “The Greatest Hoax: How the Global Warming Conspiracy Threatens Your Future.” But in an effort to question Inhofe’s motivation, his ClimateProgress.org reviewer noted that over the years Inhofe has received “$1,352,523 in campaign contributions from the oil and gas industry, including $90,950 from Koch Industries.”

Funny, the RW always smear climate scientists by saying they are in it for the money. Projection.

1. Pope Francis Makes Biblical Case For Addressing Climate Change

The Pope has a bit more gravitas when speaking for God than these douchebags.

2. well, I am quite sure the climate is changing

Climate changing?. Long term? If one means hundreds of years, yes. (less is weather)
-
Human induced ? perhaps. Can humans affect this change? perhaps.
-
Admitting climate change is occurring, a necessary thing? yes
-
Can humans adjust this change? perhaps.
-
Should humans do planning and actions? Absolutely.

3. My new bumper sticker is Obama's best quote ever...

"We don't have time for a meeting of the Flat Earth Society"

To which I would add another quote from WWE wrestler "The Rock", "It doesn't matter what YOU think!"

4. I would certainly like to know where God say that the climate is not changing and that human actions

will not effect the makeup of the world including the climate. I am not preaching to DU but to the trolls who think that Inhofe is correct.

Am I not correct that Genesis said that the age of the first people was at least 900 years old if not more? Doesn't it also say that it was good and there were no weeds etc in the beginning? And again if I am not mistaken doesn't it kind of indicate that it was human action that changed this for the worse?

So where does it say that the changes did not continue and indeed escalate in the 20th Century as we used more and more fossil fuels and became more greedy?

This idea of Inhofe is just another example of picking and choosing the verses of the Bible that they want you want to fit your own thoughts.

We and our greed have caused the situation we are in and we need to try to do something about it.

5. it's even called The Fall! the fall into flesh, into mortality, into time itself

but again the Bible doesn't actually contradict global warming even literally; there's no "firmamentists" insisting the sky's within a few thousand miles and the sun is tiny and loops around the Earth--not even 0.5% as many as the creationists; remember the oil companies do have fundie ties

6. Exactly.
