What is this 'we'.
How the hell am I responsible for what other countries do?
Ya know like the worlds largest polluters, China, and India.
We gonna go bring 'freedom and democracy' to em to 'save' the planet?
The Heartland Institute, according to the Institute's web site, is a nonprofit "think tank" that questions the reality and import of climate change, second-hand smoke health hazards, and a host of other issues that might seem to require government regulation. A July 2011 Nature editorial points out the group's lack of credibility:
"Despite criticizing climate scientists for being overconfident about their data, models and theories, the Heartland Institute proclaims a conspicuous confidence in single studies and grand interpretations....makes many bold assertions that are often questionable or misleading.... Many climate sceptics seem to review scientific data and studies not as scientists but as attorneys, magnifying doubts and treating incomplete explanations as falsehoods rather than signs of progress towards the truth. ... The Heartland Institute and its ilk are not trying to build a theory of anything. They have set the bar much lower, and are happy muddying the waters."[1]
An August 2014 Travis County Texas court ruling highlighted President and CEO Joseph Bast's lack of credibility and reliability:
"Mr. Joseph Bast, president and CEO of the Heartland Institute, testified for the Intervenors regarding the Texas Taxpayers’ Savings Grant Programs (“TTSGP”), a school voucher bill that failed in the 82nd Legislative Session. As a threshold matter, this Court finds that Mr. Bast is not a credible witness and that he did not offer reliable opinions in this matter. While Mr. Bast described himself as an economist, he holds neither undergraduate nor graduate degrees in economics, and the highest level of education he completed was high school. Mr. Bast testified that he is 100% committed to the long-term goal of getting government out of the business of educating its own voting citizens. Further, his use of inflammatory and irresponsible language regarding global warming, and his admission that the long term goal of his advocacy of vouchers is to dismantle the “socialist” public education system further undermine his credibility with this Court."[2]
again, I would not have thought of that method. Who did?

Man-made climate change is not a fact, and also not a falsity. It is a theory. It doesn't matter how many or who agrees with which side...it is not a fact one way or the other. With that said and understood...you can't prosecute or stop people from voicing one side of an opinion. Not in the United States at least...until Obama overturns freedom of speech.
some say it was A conspiracy website called Above top secret...oth

Groups in this category typically oppose mining and logging initiatives, commercial fishing enterprises, development and construction in wilderness areas, the use of coal, the use of pesticides, and oil and gas exploration in “environmentally sensitive” locations. Moreover, they claim that human industrial activity leads to excessive carbon-dioxide emissions which, in turn, cause a potentially cataclysmic phenomenon called “global warming.” Examples of such Soros donees include the Alliance for Climate Protection, Earthjustice, the Earth Island Institute, Friends of the Earth, Green For All, and the Natural Resources Defense Council.

Ironic that was since what we supposedly do is suppose to debunk real world 'truth's'.
How anyone is defending it on here is just dumbfounding.

The only ego's I see getting bruised are the climatephobes.
So hurt the climatephobes are they ran to the state to make free thinkers stop thinking freely.
Time will tell all neo
As I said before - your opinion is no longer important to this. That's not personal - its just the way this is going to go
You don't have to like it - none of us is going to like this. That's the most difficult part of all
You want to make this a left right issue? Why do you always need an enemy? I would have preferred a civil conversation - but I also understand that that's not possible
This is about humanity - as well as the rest of life as it now exists on this beautiful planet of ours

So it does matter even if you say it doesn't. Until the opposition is removed, not much movement or very slow.
I think you misunderstand what I'm saying
The opposition will have to come around eventually - there are consequences for all of us that are inescapable
Until realistic solutions are prposed to deal with this global problem on a global scale, I doubt it. And these scientists understand that. It's why the method to remove opposition is being taken. If your problem stated and solution stated are that sound not too many people debate it. Not too much opposition to 1 + 1 =2.

What's dumbfounding is that some people are acting as mouthpieces for the real conspiracy.

This is kind of like "scientist" requesting prosecution of religions who disagree with Evolution? What is the difference?
No scientist would ever do that, for one thing. Climate change is a public health and safety issue, for another.
We're a huge polluter what are you talking about???? Th

WE AREN'T CHINA!!!
All we can do is fix up our own back yard man. We can try to get China to join in but that's it. What we can do is work on our part. Quit worrying about what everyone else is doing and think about what we're doing first.
You and those like you that think you get unilaterally suspend logic and others rights because you say it is, is absolutely going to end badly, are you insane?
That is the same rational used my the muzzies, no wonder the left likes them so much, they share a little in common.
Both are absolutely positive they are right in their beliefs, and both think the ends justify the means used to achieve them, no matter what it takes!!!!
