all these policies are touted as being “environmental” solutions. They are not. They are energy shortage solutions, the environment will benefit by default. Peak Oil will be the defining issue of the epoch not Global Warming.

heres a recent quote that should wake a few people up:

Dr James R. Schlesinger, former US Energy Secretary talking to the Peak Oil Studies community at the ASPO Conference last year

â€And therefore to the peakists I say, You can declare victory. You are no longer the beleagured small minority of voices crying in the wilderness. You are now main streams. You must learn to take yes for an answer and be gracious in victory.â€

Watch it here

There is also speculation that even the Vatican was represented at the same conference.

Let’s try that again: Since my comment was deleted in Tapperâ€™s post about how itâ€™s not ABC policy to delete criticism, hereâ€™s a documented history of how Tapperâ€™s blog does delete comments simply for contradicting his reporting.

You trying to be a sensor of information? Just asking.

Well, most of us are. You, however, seem to be insensate to such. Which might explain your perplexity.

Oh, I get it, Jake. Silly me. You’re attacking Clinton for saying what you think he should have said.

I saw some guy on MSNBC this morning saying making this claim about Clinton.

The person interviewing never asked him where he got that information or questioned him on it.

SO now there are plenty of people who watched this who do not come to this site who will believe this.

This is a big problem with the MSM. They allow people to make statements without any facts.

The interviewer should be up on the issues so they know when they hear unproven facts and not let them go unchallenged.

I left a small comment on Jake Tapper’s post about him having “Clinton Derangement Syndrome” and his usage of Matt Drudge’s right wing website, and he removed my post from his website.
I didn’t use any profanity and there was no anger in my post.
Jake Tapper is a coward who cannot take any criticism.

If we don’t seriously address global warming, we may not have a civilization left, much less an economy. And I don’t see how you can address global warming without also addressing runaway population growth. But no one wants to talk about proposing to the world that they cut down on the number of children they are having.

Tapper went from blogging to MSM, so now he HAS to spiel this kind of crap. He used to be more accurate about stuff, on the web; but once you hit the Big Time, you have to do your masters bidding. First rule of “news reporting” is “always report negatively on anyone named Clinton”. Second rule is “never admit that you’re wrong about anything”.

Did any of you actually watch the video of Bill Clinton saying it? It is all over the web. He clear as day said we need to slow down our economy.

Comment by Roger_Roger

Apparently you didn’t because your repeating the falsity. Besides, is not our economy slowing down under the current president who has done little about the emissions.

Here’s what the right-wing echo chamber NRO had to say:

Jonah, that video is actually (and again, I can’t believe I’m saying this) really unfair to Bill Clinton. The biter bit, you may say, but I don’t believe this sort of manipulation by the media is in any way helpful. The clip is out of context. What Clinton actually said was:

“And maybe America, and Europe, and Japan, and Canada â€” the rich counties â€” would say, ‘OK, we just have to slow down our economy and cut back our greenhouse gas emissions ’cause we have to save the planet for our grandchildren.’ We could do that. But if we did that, you know as well as I do, China and India and Indonesia and Vietnam and Mexico and Brazil and the Ukraine, and all the other countries will never agree to stay poor to save the planet for our grandchildren.”

The bold section is what ABC chose to highlight in that video, plucked from the middle of words that have the opposite meaning. That’s not good journalism in any sense.

But you trolls keep spinning your wheels trying to defend something that even the National Review won’t defend. At least you’ll get some exercise.

And another thing, all that money the middle east makes selling us oil has worked, sadly, to help finance terrorism.

Historically, three general types of domestic pigs are recognized: the lard, meat, and bacon types.

I’m betting SM’s fetish is for lard.

The economy nearly stalled in the fourth quarter with a growth rate of just 0.6 percent, capping its worst year since 2002. GDP grew 2.2% for all of 2007
