The so-called party of science doesn't want the "wrong" kind of science to be read. And they will destroy or try to destroy a free speech in the process.

POSTED ON APRIL 9, 2017 BY JOHN HINDERAKER IN DEMOCRATS, ENVIRONMENT, LIBERALS
DEMOCRATS LOSE ARGUMENT, TRY TO BURN BOOKS
Well, to be fair, the Democrats don’t want to burnbooks that point out how unscientific the global warming scare is. They want to recycle them. The Daily Caller reports:

Three senior House Democrats asked U.S. teachers Monday to destroy a book written by climate scientists challenging the environmentalist view of global warming.

The Democrats were responding to a campaign by the conservative Heartland Institute copies of the 2015 book, “Why Climate Scientists Disagree About Global Warming” to about 200,000 science teachers. Democratic Reps. Bobby Scott of the Committee on Education, Raúl M. Grijalva of the Committee on Natural Resources, and Eddie Bernice Johnson of the Committee on Science, Space and Technology all issued a statement telling teachers to trash the book.

But if the arguments in favor of global warming hysteria are so strong, why do they need to “trash the book”? Why not respond to its arguments?

Just kidding.

“Public school classrooms are no place for anti-science propaganda, and I encourage every teacher to toss these materials in the recycling bin,” Scott said. “If the Heartland Institute and other climate deniers want to push a false agenda on global warming, our nation’s schools are an inappropriate place to drive that agenda.”

Got that? If you make scientific arguments against a fraudulent claim that benefits government, you are “anti-science.” And if you tell the truth about the Earth’s climate, you are a “climate denier.” What a stupid phrase! Do the Democrats mean to imply that some people deny the Earth has a climate? Apparently so.

So who are the “anti-science” authors of a book that dares to tell the truth about government-funded global warming alarmism?

The book’s three authors all hold doctorates and taught climate or related science at the university level. The book was written by former Arizona State University climatologist Dr. Craig D. Idso, James Cook University marine geology and paleontology professor Robert M. Carter, and University of Virginia environmental scientist Dr. Fred Singer.

When it comes to the Earth’s climate, Democratic Congressmen Scott, Grijalva and Johnson are entirely ignorant. But what they do know is that the whole point of global warming hysteria is to give the government more power over the economy. That, they are in favor of! The excuse is mostly irrelevant.

Why do you think our federal government has funded global warming alarmism to the tune of $40 billion? It is all about power and money. And if you blow the whistle on the liberals’ scam, your book should be thrown in the trash! We wouldn’t want America’s students to get a balanced view of the facts relating to climate, not when so much money is at stake.

The lefties of this country are so screwed up. They're too stupid to know they're stupid.

Or it might be to reduce/moderate the effects of man-made global warming. It's a good thing that we all agree that clean water and air for example are good things since the gov't is pretty much in control of regulating those environmental medias so that we don't poison ourselves any worse than we are right now. I do believe that global warming/climate change exists and that since the industrial age began man has introduced enough CO2 and other greenhouse gasses to tip the climate out of balance into a gradual warming trend. I was just sitting at the house the other day and wished that the government had more control over the economy, yeah that's it.

Which doesn't make it bad if it were true. That's another fallacy, that any shift in temperature is necessarily bad.

Except certain plants and vegetables are facing extinction because they can't adapt, which changes the ecosystem as a whole.
The ecosystem has remained constant through the millennia's of time? Guess the Christian whackadoodles were correct when they said we coexisted with Dinosaurs.

Do you think that rising sea levels could be a problem for coastal cities?
Absolutely it is. Do I think that could potentially be occurring due to natural changes within the earth, despite man's input? Certainly.

Still not a real problem except for those on the coast. Pretty sure that many scientist beleive that Africa was once connected to another continent.

Not necessarily a bad thing. A lot of things don't adapt, something takes it's place.

Sure they are........AND always have been for certain areas. But.....its looks like dropping sea levels are not good for some corral reefs.

No one will ever get the pleasure of being right on this subject. Those against the idea can't be proven right for several lifetimes, and those that help assert will be too destroyed by the plight of the planet to enjoy being proven right.

Climate change and humanity's contribution to it has always been real. I'm against the politicization of the subject by those that would stoop to any level to gain a vote.

My reply was to this:



Stay focused, dipshit.
I'll ask again.....Do you even have any comprehension of what you type? Your reply to Airport is meaningless. Next you will tell us WHICH plants and vegetables are more crucial to mankind. Gawd.....you can't be as stupid as you sometimes come across as.

For those that believe this situation is dire, politicizing the issue is absolutely needed to affect crucial change.

Amazing how many issues are dire on the left.
Nothing's dire on the right, unless we drop enough bombs and Christ is still in Christmas and gays don't think they're legitimate normal people and bathrooms are only used by people of the correct sex and guns guns guns

But you're right....we a bunch of drama queens
Trust me, you all do a good enough job telling us why having faith is an archaic and idiotic thing and that it impacts your ability to piss next to my daughter. Need a cake baked by chance that would completely violate my religious beliefs? No problem. Want to condemn someone for blowing up a bunch of people in a church because they are crazy fvcking religious nuts? No thanks.
