These are basically people who think the Endtimes are near and they will be "taken up" into heaven, thus no need to look for any confusing facts about the here-and-now environment. Don't these same people say there is no need to decrease our dependence on oil? How convenient for the oil industry. When private industry finds a way to make money off of non-oil energy sources, I predict the right-wing religious establishment, which is hand in pocket with the big oil politicians, will start bleating a different tune.

We all knew that we had a problem with extreme islam but did the mad rush to do something NOW, help our cause? Let us not leap with the same hysteria into a "fix" for global warming.

How does this supposed conspiracy work, to have them arguing with each other even while they serve the same nefarious plot?

The Iraq War is another recent example.

I'm talking about the standards scientists have set up for their profession. I'm also using critical inquiry, and if you actually have any substantive disagreement with anything I've said here, there's this free and open comment forum, which is hardly a medium that would be set up by "debate cheats". But ah, John, you don't seem to have any substantive response to give to what I've said about that hoax petition. That's pretty telling, Mr. Reading.
