As long as Louie Gohmert is on "your" "team" the Republicans will "kick ass" in nothing.

Heh

Gohmert was quite good the one time I saw him

Shall I pull up the transcript?

Just file it in your moron porn collection with all the campaign mailers you save from the fascist candidates you support.

[Yankguy1]

Why bother? HEH.

[kiidcarter8]

McConnell speaks for his conference.  He knows the decision won't be based on the evidence.  Listen to what he is telling you.


Same rules as '74.

[kiidcarter8]

So, what's going on in Syria?  Was supposed to be a huge story

And are we winning the second Korea war - the one Trump got us into?

[Hairy Lime]

Heh

Dems getting their asses kicked today

There are many times when kid reminds me of Kevin Bacon in Animal House.

Belushi nodding his head in congratulations toward Kroger for having the highest GPA in the pledge class is one of my favorite movie moments ever.

Bambu, I get occasional chances to hang out with people who spend a lot of time evaluating data on climate change and can tell you not one of them views Jane Fonda as a reputable climatologist.  As for the Industrial Revolution, there is no dispute that it enabled humans to go from 1 billion to 7.2 billion.   At one billion, a fossil fuel based system of production might be indefinitely sustainable.  It's pretty clear that at 7.2 billion, not so much.   Hence the need to adapt, with cleaner forms of energy and production.   The IR fed billions, but it also created those billions.  It's a phase in the rise of tech civilization, not a sustainable end point.   Jane's analogy is ridiculous, I agree, and she does dedicated scientists and crafters of sane policies no service with her kooky and inflammatory rhetoric.   I've always liked her, but she gets flaky when she strays beyond her areas of expertise.

He was definitely wanking himself under the committee table as he recited his senseless catechism. Typical disgusting behavior from degenerate Gohmert.

Thank you for sharing your moron porn.

Please don’t ever do it again.

[kiidcarter8]

Yeah - most of it was shit.

Indeed.
Dedicated scientists and crafters of sane policies seem to be getting lost in the stampede.

From that same article;

Environmental extremists like Fonda also refuse to acknowledge that the science of climate change is far from settled. In the scientific world the links between climate change and man made fossil fuels is far from unanimous.

Not only do many scientists argue carbon is an essential part of the atmosphere ensuring plant growth but they also argue such is the complexity involved in analysing cause and effect that it is simplistic and wrong to only focus on one cause.

***

The point by those questioning the religious fervour associated with climate extinction ideology is that climate change is an enduring characteristic of planet earth and that there always have been and always will be periods of global warming and cooling. Vineyards once existed in Iceland and the Thames river in London once froze over.

Also ignored by Fonda and the climate messiah Greta Thunberg is the untold damage they are inflicting on young and vulnerable children, the majority of who are incapable of making informed and rational decisions.

Countless children are reportedly suffering climate change anxiety and as a result argue they will never have babies as the end of the world in nigh.

What is known as the Birthstrike movement is based on what its British founder, Blythe Pepino, states, namely that it is no longer feasible or morally responsible to have children as we are facing an “ecological crisis”.

***

The American actor Miley Cyrus likewise goes as far as arguing the exploitation of the planet is the same as the way women are exploited by men.

***

In our major cities increased population is leading to issues about waste disposal and poor air and water quality.

***

The irony, of course, is that many of those families and children involved in climate day strikes and days off school love their mobile phones, SUVs, expensive active wear and holidays in Noosa and Bali and as a result of cognitive dissonance never realise how hypocritical they are.

It is also time for Hollywood celebrates like Fonda to stop taking the moral high ground and virtue signalling, especially given the environmental cost of their extravagant lifestyles and the fact that no amount of hollow pontificating equates with sound dialogue and debate.

The problem, of course, proven by the recent demonstrations at the climate conference in Madrid, Spain is that emotion has long since replaced being balanced and rational.

It's a 'minefield' to traverse.

Then there are sniping politicians;

http://www.msn.com/en-au/news/australia/its-nuts-dumped-pm-malcolm-turnbull-launches-a-scathing-attack-on-scott-morrisons-government-for-its-religious-response-to-climate-change/ar-BBXYS0K?li=AAgfYrC&OCID=AVRES000

Former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull has launched a scathing attack on Scott Morrison's government for making religion a central issue of the climate change debate.

After being largely absent from the political scene since being ousted from the nation's top job, Mr Turnbull appeared on Monday night's Q&A program.
When asked about the bushfire crises, Mr Turnbull said a better plan was necessary as we will see 'more fires and hotter fires' due to global warming.

'The problem is that people… on the right, they are treating what should be a question of physics and science and economics and engineering as though it were an issue of religion and belief... and it's nuts,' Mr Turnbull said.

Labor leader Anthony Albanese, also on Monday's Q&A panel, agreed - saying certain people have 'held the environment to ransom'.

He said Australia should be pushing to become the clean energy superpower of the world.

#####

Oh puhlease!
Energy superpower of the world?
If Australia disappeared under the ocean tomorrow it would make miniscule difference to anything, including climate change.
China etc would just get their coal from somewhere else.
