One America burdens the earth much more than twenty Bangladeshes. This is a terrible thing to say in order to stabilize world population, we must eliminate 350,000 people per day. It is a horrible thing to say, but it's just as bad not to say it.

If I were reincarnated I would wish to be returned to earth as a killer virus to lower human population levels.

Childbearing should be a punishable crime against society, unless the parents hold a government license. All potential parents should be required to use contraceptive chemicals, the government issuing antidotes to citizens chosen for childbearing.

In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill.

how does charging for Carbon cure poverty?

Good question. Al Gore isn't exactly known for being reasonable though.

Ok, let me get this straight: you think there's a bunch of people in government that just want more government

You just described the entire purpose and goal of the democratic party, so yes.

No, it's not. The purpose and goal of the Democrats, like the Republicans, is to serve their corporate financiers.

But more importantly ...

Even if it was somehow true that our half our government was filled with people who simply want to add more government for no reason other than to add more government, you still haven't explained how the Democrats somehow secretly convinced 95% of climatologists to lie.

You basically just agreed with me.

No. Saying "it gets hotter in some places and colder in others and wetter in others and drier in others" is not the same as "it's not getting hotter". But good try at reading comprehension.

Problem with America is we have an entire party who thinks government is their mommy and daddy, and we ended up with a nanny and an even bigger brother because of it.

Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.

gosh darned poetry

The globe is getting hotter on average. At the same time, there are specific parts of the globe that are not getting hotter. If you can't understand that, you're a moron.

But look, you're going to believe whatever you want to believe, without rational thought, so there's nothing I can do for you. When you want to start using your brain instead of just parroting whatever that crazy conspiracy website you read told you, come back here.
