Climate Bill, R.I.P. (rollingstone.com)

I work in the mining industry and this is huge. Great news. Global warming is a complete scam anyway. The planet naturally goes through cycles of hot/cold. To think in the microscopic amount of time that humanity has been industrialized, that we could actually affect the climate of our planet, is ludicrous.


Global warming is big business(draws in millions) and it's a hip and popular movement. Is it for real though?

I'm on the fence, as we had 84 inches of snowfall here in the east coast this winter. Record breaking snow falls for these parts. Yet this summers' temperatures have been insane; always 90 degrees on up to 100.


"Is it for real though?", I take as you don't think you have seen enough evidence in the data to support the thesis that climate change is happening or that it is caused by humans.

Big business draws in billions.

My local high school pays millions each year just in payroll. (And that's an underfunded and understaffed high school of 2500 students.)
