Climate Change -- conspiracy theory or is it time we all drive a Prius?

missing the point, RXwine, it's a matter of whether this is a stupid time to point this out or not, at least for a paper in DC ... even if absolutely correct

Sometimes I would agree with you that timing is important. Not here.

It only takes one night to freeze to death. You don't need a whole series of extra cold weather.

No surprise.

“The greenhouse gases emitted from sources like cars, trucks and power plants, which are major contributors to climate change, will no longer be regulated by the federal government following an announcement Thursday by President Trump and Lee Zeldin, the head of the Environmental Protection Agency.”

I’ll accept a complaint from you, Rx. I won’t from Obama as he’s interviewed getting off his private Jet. Or from Bernie Sanders from one of the three houses he’s heating while living in one of them.

Insane statement. Sanders doesn't even own 3 houses. He has two modest houses in VT (he sold his DC townhouse.)
He has one of the lowest networths of any senator despite being almost the oldest. And, he never rarely flies private (like almost never, doesn't own his own plane.)

Obama is a former President, and security concerns dictate a lot of strict travel requirements. He can fly commercial, but it is complicated and disruptive for passengers (and ends up being very costly for both airlines and taxpayers.) Jimmy Carter was the only former President that demanded to fly commercial.

Being worth 3 mil and having 2 modest houses for somebody in their 80s who has been working for decades, is not excessive at all. In fact for a Senator it is kind of pathetic (which is good, it shows he is principled.)

Got a problem with private jets,or only when Dems and liberals fly in one? How many private aircraft does the Trump Organization own and use and when was the last time Donny flew commercial when he wasn't President?

Got a problem with some one owning more than one residence, or only when Dems or liberals do it? How many residences does Donny control, and how many are heated in the winter when he isn't there? DO with think his penthouse in NYC and his residence at Bedminster are winterized right now?

I have no problem at all with someone owning more than one house. Heck, I own two! I have no problem with flying a private gas guzzler. If I could afford it I think I would!

I just think such people have big balls in complaining that the guy who owns an inefficient 10 year old car needs to upgrade it to save the planet. I’ll go after Trump the first time I hear him railing against the bad people in private Leers.

If you can’t see that the leaders of the ‘green’ movement are less ‘green’ than Geno and SOOPOO and Gandler combined, you are intentionally not looking.

They may be less green than me or you, but certainly more green than Donny. Why can't you, on balance, see that?

If I was a pro-action climate change activist I would be really pissed at seeing that article come out when it did. "We just lost another 100,000 sympathizers" is what I'd be thinking.

How do you think Trump is able to proceed with his program? People are sick of hearing from these schmucks and their alarmism
