Whenever I see somebody blaming the "Green Left" and bringing up Al Gore, I know I'm seeing an uninformed person. Meaning that their research wasn't deep enough to bring up the long history of the GOP in building and leading the national conservation movement.

Start with the now dormant Republicans for Environmental Protection (REP) and its two active offshoots, Conservatives for Responsible Stewardship and Conserv America. One can also visit the website called Climate Conservative or the Deploy US website. Then there also is skeptical science dot com that neatly refutes all the fantasies about global warming. There are others.

Oh, and don't complain about the EPA veto of the Pebble Mine in Bristol Bay, AK. None other than Don Trump Jr. opposed that project. Research is alway useful.

The left's green people lost credibility with Al Gore and Greta. Then when they started burning their EV's because they no longer liked Elon. Looming frigid winters kind of gave the exit to "Global Warming" and it became "Climate Change" so no matter what the temperature is they can blame it on the same thing CO2 emissions. A recent report claimed that back milennia ago when the earth was at it's most luscious - say CO2 levels today are at 100 back then those levels were more like 2000. The planet thrives on CO2. Carbon is bad? Everything is made from carbon including us. Now scientist are saying that the earth is at it's tipping point towards the next Ice Age. The icebergs that would supposedly to flood the earth are floating so water displacement kicks in. Water levels will rise no more when they are frozen than if they melt. So what? Hey it's the destruction of the Gulfstream now. One day they will learn that the earth is a living planet, it has been around for a hell of a lot longer than people. It has changed shapes of land masses, it has converted hot regions to cold regions and it has the ability to destroy us and refresh itself without any of our help. We see a lot of volcanoes awakening lately. I have read reports that a volcano in Russia that erupted had been dormant for 900 years. There is another volcano awakening in Washington said to have been dormant since the last Ice Age. Another reported Thursday has been dormant for over 200,000 years. How many more volcanoes are awakening under the oceans that we are unaware of? Suppose that could create a little warming? When you look at volcanoes that are basically snow and ice covered mountains awakening, where do you think all that water will go when all that ice and snow starts melting?

It's not a hoax. It's a fundraiser. Look at most charities too. Look at the salaries of the CEO's, look at the number of paid employees they have, TV commercials, all those offices and utility bills, computers, phones, vehicles with gas, insurance and upkeep etc. All of that has to be covered before the first penny reaches a charity. When they did the independent audit of the Clinton Trust - I mean "Foundation" ;-) - they found that less than 6 cents of every dollar went to charity - the rest went to salaries, bonuses and "operating expenses". "Operating Expenses" - meaning - luxury offices, First Class or private travel, limousines and 5 star accommodations.

I always suspected Al Gore’s venal stupidity would ultimately disgrace him. I’m glad

One good thing came out of this and early EPA deep state regs tho, is this.. the waste management industry is highly advanced and can & will always hit the ground running with Massive infrastructure, means and methods and best practices from the most esoteric and challenging toxic sites to the mundane and basic need’s of americas household trash and recycling stream.

So great regs from government are always usefil and necessary

The Green Movement is consistently funded by our geopolitical enemies and has been for decades. The USSR(now Russia) the Chinese communist party and those who wish to destroy our country and our economy have always been seeking a no-growth, population control movement to ruin us. Have you ever noticed that the leaders of the movement here never take positive actions to make the environment better? They don’t dedicate time to clean the environment in any way. They use more energy for themselves and demand bigger government and more regulations for everyone else. The whole of the no nukes crowd has always been against the safest source of electricity in America. I don’t see any of them protesting China kicking in coal fired power plants at about two per week over there but I see them demanding that we close our coal fired power plants. Go get some biodegradable trash bags and use a couple of weekends to pick up trash. Set an example! Don’t listen to these clowns who have enormous carbon footprints tell you how to live. They are frauds and you are betting everything on three card Monty with them dealing.
