I'll bet I consume a lot less natural resources than they do. Hypocrites.
Practice what you preach. I'm curious, what exactly do some of you do to help be more "green".
Well I for one help the earth by not flying private jets to Global Warming circle jerks in Africa. The amount of CO produced by Hollywood and lefty hypocrites as they travel the world on their corporate jets is more CO than I or my family will produce in a life time.
And just to show how sensitive I am to the global warming screamers, I promise to throw fewer beer cans into the fire at the cabin this summer. Oh yeah, and I tried one of those low wattage florescent type bulbs - made my house look like my office. No thanks. The weather man cannot tell me with any degree of accuracy what the weather will be like in 3 days, and I am supposed to believe these "end of world" screeds on climate change 10, 50, 100, 150, 200 years from now? Just like I was supposed to believe we were all going to die from (pick your poison)

There is NO scientific consensus on global warming. None. Anyone who claims that global warming is fact is not following scientific method. A consensus will never be achieved as there are quacks on both sides, but major and respected players are far from agreement. My favorite complaint on global warming is how the talking heads have proclaimed it "fact" and have even suggested disbarring or prosecuting scientists who claim otherwise - a veritable inquisition on dissension.
The global warming scare has enabled environmental advocacy groups to raise billions of dollars in contributions and government grants. It has given politicians (from Al Gore down) opportunities to pose as prophets of doom and slayers of evil corporations. And it has given bureaucrats at all levels of government, from the United Nations to city councils, powers that threaten our jobs and individual liberty.
