Must be a typo. The Nazis are those skinheads and white hood wearing members you see at the Tea Party conventions and they are the same ones who claim global warming is a hoax...
They also claim the earth is only 6000 years old, rape does not result in pregnancy, 80% of the Democrats are Communists, and Evolution is a lie straight from the pit of hell.

It still astounds me that people believe in the man made global warming myth. It simply is not true. It’s just a tax grab, that’s it. If it’s all true, then why do those purporting it fly all over the world constantly, live in giant mansions and drive big gas guzzling cars?

Hey cool, you actually know some history! Now try learning about the history of american politics as it has changed in the time since Abraham Lincoln (approximately two hundred years... it's not as if anything ever changes in a couple hundred years, right?)
Democratising Global Governance:
The Challenges of the World Social Forum
by
Francesca Beausang
ABSTRACT
This paper sums up the debate that took place during the two round tables organized by UNESCO within the first World Social Forum in Porto Alegre (25/30 January 2001). It starts with a discussion of national processes, by examining democracy and then governance at the national level. It first states a case for a "joint" governance based on a combination of stakeholder theory, which is derived from corporate governance, and of UNESCO's priorities in the field of governance. As an example, the paper investigates how governance can deviate from democracy in the East Asian model. Subsequently, the global dimension of the debate on democracy and governance is examined, first by identification of the characteristics and agents of democracy in the global setting, and then by allusion to the difficulties of transposing governance to the global level.
The article details the increasing efforts by researchers to determine the patterns of "uncontested scepticism" in the media. One such study, Painter and Ashe report, determined that "of the three main [US] cable channels (CNN, MSNBC and Fox News), Fox was the most likely to be dismissive of climate change science." The authors also note that although there have been a number of studies of the "organizational links between climate scepticism and conservative think tanks/business communities" that have "resulted in a tendency to view it as a discourse with conservative affinities," those studies' conclusion have not been tested outside the US.
...
Thus it is with some surprise to observe CRU going through bizarre contortions to avoid releasing its climate data to Steve McIntyre. They first told him that he couldn't have it because he was not an academic. I found this to be a petty reason for keeping data out of the hands of someone who clearly wants to examine it for scholarly purposes. So, wanting to test this theory I asked CRU for the data myself, being a "real" academic. I received a letter back from CRU stating that I couldn't have the data because "we do not hold the requested information."
I found that odd. How can they not hold the data when they are showing graphs of global temperatures on their webpage? However, it turns out that CRU has in response to requests for its data put up a new webpage with the following remarkable admission (emphasis added):
We are not in a position to supply data for a particular country not covered by the example agreements referred to earlier, as we have never had sufficient resources to keep track of the exact source of each individual monthly value. Since the 1980s, we have merged the data we have received into existing series or begun new ones, so it is impossible to say if all stations within a particular country or if all of an individual record should be freely available. Data storage availability in the 1980s meant that we were not able to keep the multiple sources for some sites, only the station series after adjustment for homogeneity issues. We, therefore, do not hold the original raw data but only the value-added (i.e. quality controlled and homogenized) data.
Say what?! CRU has lost track of the original data that it uses to create its global temperature record!? Can this be serious? So not only is it now impossible to replicate or reevaluate homogeneity adjustments made in the past -- which might be important to do as new information is learned about the spatial representativeness of siting, land use effects, and so on -- but it is now also impossible to create a new temperature index from scratch. CRU is basically saying, "trust us." So much for settling questions and resolving debates with empirical information (i.e., science).

I find it comical that the link you gave makes no reference to the SCIENTIFIC research from all around the world that clearly demonstrates the ongoing Climate Change is NATURAL...
Obviously you are also ignorant on the history of the U.S., the skinheads you talk about have democrat values, they are the same people from the old south who wanted to keep slavery because they wanted free labour... The Democrats were also the rich robber varons in the south who owned plantations, and even the poor in the south were all Democrats. They were the ones who invented the KKK, alongside being the ones, and still quite a few do to this day, who hated/hate blacks, hispanics, and other races...

Well if you actually read through all my responses, I have given several sources that show that climate change is DEFINITELY caused by human action. Also see my new thread for a better breakdown of the article.

(etc. etc. lies not worth including)
Since the takeover by the banker world elites and with the help of the left, these people systematically setup to destroy the real "party of the people", and to change the minds of many Americans to embrace the Democrat Party and destroy the real party of the people through corruption the last 100 years...
Seriously, the lies the left love to tell are just hilarious and saddening at the same time...
Apologies for going off topic, but I just had to respond to such blatant lies...

The GOP expanded its base throughout the South after 1968 (except for 1976), due, largely to its strength among socially conservative white Evangelical Protestants
The South's transition to a Republican stronghold took decades. First the states started voting Republican in presidential elections—the Democrats countered that by nominating Southerners who could carry some states in the region, such as Jimmy Carter in 1976, and Bill Clinton in 1992 and 1996; however, the strategy did not work with Al Gore in 2000. Then the states began electing Republican senators to fill open seats caused by retirements, and finally governors and state legislatures changed sides. Georgia was the last state to fall, with Sonny Perdue taking the governorship in 2002. Republicans aided the process with redistricting that protected the African American and Hispanic vote (as required by the Civil Rights laws), but split up the remaining white Democrats so that Republicans mostly would win. In 2006 the Supreme Court endorsed nearly all of the gerrymandering engineered by Tom DeLay that swung the Texas Congressional delegation to the GOP in 2004. DeLay himself went to prison in 2011 for illegally funding the state GOP. In addition to its white middle class base, Republicans attracted strong majorities from the Evangelical Christian vote, which had been nonpolitical before 1980. The national Democratic Party's support for liberal social stances such as abortion drove many former Democrats into a Republican Party that was embracing the conservative views on these issues. Conversely, liberal Republicans in the northeast began to join the Democratic Party.

It's interesting that you can perceive a profit motive at work in climate science, and yet you apparently discount the incredible incentive that oil and industry in general has to muddy the water and cast doubt on climate science.

When someone already has a head full to bursting with propaganda and lies there is no room for accurate facts and the truth. The truth is inconvenient and so they call it a lie.

Regarding global climate-change, having just taken Geology at my community college - it was taught that
man-made global-warming is an indisputable fact. That the trend our earth should be in right now is global cooling - not warming. Being 41 years old, living in Michigan - known for brutal winters, I have see with my own eyes a remarkable change. For the first time, people say "Michigan didn't have a winter last year".
It is obvious to me that major sites, such as YouTube and even this one, have active dis-informants. People that have an agenda to discredit popular opinion when that opinion intrudes on TPTB. Honestly, it doesn't take a rocket-scientist to see when a topic or argument is actively being discredited, such as this one. There is no rational debate with insanity. I don't care what charts you put in front of me - subjective personal experience trumps objective so-called "facts". You can spout that the Earth isn't warming through human-intervention but suffer through the hottest July, 2nd hottest to that was last years July, 3rd hottest to that was a few years back.. and it just makes me wonder whose agenda you are promoting, that you would argue against man-made climate change. It just reveals how ignorant that person/group is of interdependence.
