The Climate Change "Debate": nonsense! … by gimleteye

For decades -- and still -- the mainstream media (cf. Miami Herald), when it has printed stories on global warming and climate change, has posited both pro and con points of view as though to "balance" fairly and preserve journalistic integrity that two sides needed to be equally represented.

As evidence accumulated that climate change deniers (like Senator Marco Rubio, former Governor Jeb Bush and current Governor Rick Scott) are wrong, still the mainstream press gave voice to dissenters as though to be fair, their views were balanced by evidence.

At last, HBO host and comedian John Oliver put together a segment that hilariously lays out the numerical fact.

Rubio should have been in the 4 group with Scott. Great video thanks.

And so, the answer is to destroy America's wealth and power while India and China, the biggest offenders,
do nothing?

Anon above; America's wealth is being stripped by the off-shoring of not only manufacturing, but also professional american jobs to China and India.
Please stop repeating the same phrase.

I've never opined here before.

But now, I will repeat myself:

Well then, let's welcome nuclear power! Let's open the door to wind power? Why is this administration opposing both?

Or, let's drill off our coast and let's use our own fossil fuel so we can become independent of Middle-eastern principalities and oligarchies and of pathetic clowns like Maduro. Let's stop apologizing for our greatness and once again take pride in who we are.

What did our cavemen ancestors do to cause global warming and end the ice age? Was it their cars?
