Do they ever go to other cities and talk with business owners, people paying bills, etc? I find it incredulous that his writings are given any credibility at all.PapaDoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07251396310865075493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-1464583907358421822011-02-03T04:02:08.184-08:002011-02-03T04:02:08.184-08:00Alan,

I have two points I would like to make.<br /><br />1. If we were to go after all the oil deposits within the jurisdiction of the U.S. we would be energy self sufficient in no time. If we would start building refineries, along with unlimited drilling, it would re-charge to economy, and the taxes generated would help tremendously with the debt. And it would keep hundreds of billions dollars out of the hands of terrorist supporters.<br /><br />2. It is estimated that federal regulations will cost 1.75 trillion dollars this year. If we were to cut this in half (and does anyone really believe we even need so many regulations?) we would save the American public 600 billion a year. That alone would pay off the national debt in 15 years, not to mention how much that alone would impact the economy positively. <br /><br />This is basis stuff, even I understand it. Why is so many refuse to embrace this? We have really lost our minds. <br /><br />RichRich Kozlovichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13745960671409518147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-25190098827539398492011-02-02T05:28:30.775-08:002011-02-02T05:28:30.775-08:00It's time to take drastic measures.

I realize this may seem harsh but it's time to let them know that they are much too silly. Thank you for your time.

So the illustrious Professor Binder would wish that, by 2040, every person walking the planet at that time will stump up a $300 annual tax to provide themselves with the right to exhale. Or have I misread something?<br /><br />You Americans can certainly find them!!<br /><br />Geoff AlderGeoff Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08506868568433774115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-13981283676713739872011-02-02T01:15:15.056-08:002011-02-02T01:15:15.056-08:00After the last couple of years of bad news for the...After the last couple of years of bad news for the Warmists it seems that they are trying to fight back to prominence. <br />You have your 'nutty professors' and the UK has its lamentable souls. <br />The latest one to emerge is Sir Paul Nurse, a Nobel Prize-winning geneticist, now President of the Royal Society and which has been promoting warmist creed even. longer than the BBC.<br />The present tactic seems to be a pincer movement between the BBC and people like Nurse in the form of a subterfuge perporting to give "deniers', a faux debate, a say but in actuality is a television documentary aimed at trying to destroy the credibility of the interviewed 'denier'. <br />Two famous 'deniers'(at least in the UK)to be so stiched-up are James Delingpole of the Daily Telegraph and Lord Christopher Monckton, as was also the distinguished Professor Fred Singer.<br />The ploy is to engage these people in long and cosy filmed and recorded discussion, then to dissect the interview, take phrases out of context to the detriment of the subject in order to present the person as an isolated idiot, that 'sceptics'are isolated and on the wrong side of true science.<br />This is ad hominem in extremis and totally disgusting and unexceptable in any shape or form.<br />If this is the kind of head the Royal Society presents then it is any wonder it has lost its credibilty and respect?<br />In his memoirs, the senior BBC newsreader, said, “The BBC became a propaganda machine for climate change zealots – I was treated as a lunatic for daring to dissent.” <br />Well, it looks as though things are not changing anytime soon. Maybe when ice fares are held on the Thames amid major crop failures and food riots the BBC and Nurse will be held to account.<br />Noooo, I doubt it, they never are.<br />Clive in the PhilippinesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-84714270133877474422011-02-01T22:40:50.121-08:002011-02-01T22:40:50.121-08:00Typical liberal approach...
