Clearing the air on climate change - The Boston Globe

This story broke last week but this detailed comparison is important as it
again shows the administration is indifferent to the publics welfare while
as usual they are saying "We don't want to alarm the public so the less they
know the better off 'they' are." And you could translate that as: Don't
scare the sheep and besides sheep are dumb so what's the diff?

This played very well on Fox media news broadcasts and the right wing talk
shows. As the basic story line being used their is global warming effects or
climate change implications are not really happening as this is just a
cyclical climate phenomena.
You doubt this? try tuning in for a tune up.
And also we are told those scientific groups coming out with these possible
scenarios are controlled by liberals who are fuzzy thinkers. They fail to
mention the few people they quote are all getting large grants from the
oil/coal corporations.

I sometimes am told all this by another dog walker who also assures me peak
oil is a myth which allows the oil companies to charge more.
It seems the oil companies have lots of really good wells which they have
capped for the future.

Also, that the crude oil in the earth is unlimited and their is no problem.

Global warming apparently is also a myth being used by tree huggers to scare
people and the economic crash we seem to be going into is also contrived.
Though i am not sure by who. As to his source for all this economic and
scientific knowledge. Fox talk show luminaries or so he tells me.
He sometimes also gets our national enemies confused though they sure aren't
white male and middle age and which seems to be about the only people who
aren't potential terrorist or drug fiends. Yes, he does take Rx drugs for
his heart and he is concerned about Diabetes. As this also came out in our
one way conversations.
The guy drives seventy miles a day so he is constantly learning allot of new
wisdom from endless radio talk shows.
I try and be a good listener but even so I know i am suspect and he is
waiting for me to confirm his suspicions. I mentioned i was not to up on
corporate sport teams so he also knows I'm backing a looser.
Also his dog has my sympathy as she has to ride with him and then listen to
Rush and company.
