"Look, I'm not a scientist so I can't say one way or the other if the climate is changing, I think the jury is still out on that," President Koch III expressed as he christened the new impervious dome constructed around the White House in a high security ceremony.

Science vs. The GOP

Safe to say more Americans have died from the flu in the past two weeks than from Ebola. Why are they not fear mongering about the flu?
"We and the other networks are suing because of the incredible losses we've suffered due to Americans not suffering incredible losses."
We have to be the first to take personal responsibility for our own carbon footprint. And it's probably not going to be a walk in the park--most other industrialized nations keep energy prices high for a variety of different reasons.
The stakes with stopping carbon dioxide buildup are huge. The value of the un-drilled oil and methane and coal is in the trillions and if you think the oil and gas companies are going to write off those investments without a huge fight, I have a bridge to sell you.
In one of his last interviews, Michael C Ruppert talks about Fukushima as a human extinction event--that the currents of the Pacific and the migratory habits of the fish make it inevitable that life-ending radiation would be spread throughout the world's oceans.
The most compelling problem with climate collapse/global warming currently being discussed by scientists is that while the progressive climb upward of c02 (or methane) in parts per million seems gradual, there are numerous feedback loops that have been set off by warmer temperatures.
The warming we've seen is setting feedback loops that guarantee higher levels of warming. The melting of the Siberian permafrost means thousands of gigatons of methane (more damaging as greenhouse effect than carbon dioxide) released into the atmosphere.
Perhaps the only science Murdoch truly believes in is the calculation of tv ratings and advertising rates.
Human beings are incredibly adaptable which has been a boon but this is one of those times we shouldn't be simply acclimating to the destruction Climate Change is bringing, we need to become active in slowing it down and trying to reverse it.
