The Global Warming crowd is at war....with the poor

Do you understand who we buy gas & oil from because of these assholes won't allow for drilling or refining

Venezuela?

Kidding. I know where you're coming from. All the more reason to go full speed ahead on developing alternative energy. I know it won't completely substitute oil, but every little bit helps. For the time being, yes... we need to keep pumping from "friendly" places. No one enjoys depending even one bit on the Arab nations for oil. We got boocoo drilling rigs in the Gulf... and if we can responsibly extract oil from Canada, so be it.

My only point is we can't go to sleep on knowing we're OK on oil for the time being.
We got to think about the future, both ours and future generations.

The Keystone pipeline is supposed to get oil from Canada damnit! And the Greenies oppose it.

We need to cut off any & all funding that props up the Saudi Royal Family...they aren't good people. America shouldn't be an "Oil Prude" nation, we expect others to drill & refine, why don't we do it ourselves? We've got the technology, we've got the oil & gas.

Alternative energy is a hoax why else would the Kennedy's (who loooove them some Global Warming) keep windfarms away from their property? If it would help save the Earth one would think they would accept those big ass wind turbines gladly, but they didn't. Al Gore doesn't use alternative energy to go take him to give speeches, why is that? Al Gore has a HUGE carbon footprint but we're supposed to think he's out to save the world with his bullshit power points presentation?

The Keystone pipeline is supposed to get oil from Canada damnit! (I said "responsibly". Did that part just slip through the cracks? I know where the Keystone pipeline originates). And the Greenies oppose it.

We need to cut off any & all funding that props up the Saudi Royal Family...they aren't good people. America shouldn't be an "Oil Prude" nation, we expect others to drill & refine, why don't we do it ourselves? We've got the technology, we've got the oil & gas. (Yeah... everybody else is doing it. So let's just continue irresponsibly squeezing the living shit out the last ounce of oil left on the planet. Who gives a flying fuck about future generations? Drill away!!!)

Alternative energy is a hoax why else would the Kennedy's (who loooove them some Global Warming) keep windfarms away from their property? (Uhhh.... because they're filthy rich and could give 3 shits about saving money on energy? Because windfarms aren't aesthetically appealing? Just a thought). If it would help save the Earth one would think they would accept those big ass wind turbines gladly, but they didn't. Al Gore doesn't use alternative energy to go take him to give speeches, why is that? Al Gore has a HUGE carbon footprint but we're supposed to think he's out to save the world with his bullshit power points presentation? (Al Gore, Al Gore, Al Gore. Let's just pick out some "easy-to-shit-on" clown and make him the poster boy for environmentalists. THAT way, we can shit on the environment and lump Al Gore with anyone who speaks up about it. Good strategy, by the way).

You're reaching, but ok...

The problem with the Keystone pipeline is that it is meant to move oil to ports so that it can be sold abroad; it by passes US refineries.
I quit taking 'global warming' seriously when I read that buying 'carbon credits' was forecast to become a $3trillion industry.

The oil sands move from Alberta to refineries in Illinois & Oklahoma and to the Gulf Coast where it can be sold on the World Market. The United States already buys oil from Canada, we'd more than likely get a better deal for having the pipeline to the ports & refineries, but at the end of the day the oil is Canada's and they can sell it on the World Market if they so choose.

Global warming is a fact guys whether suits play politics with it or not and no where is it more evident then where I live and further north. Having said that I do not see the demand of fossil fuels dying off anytime soon when India and China are bursting at the seams. Got mixed feelings about the pipe line and selling our oil to the open market and helping to fuel those that hate North America. I find myself becoming more and more of an isolationist when thinking about the generations that follow us. Another part of me wishes we would just run out.

There is no such thing as the global warming crowd because despite wanting to portray scientists as being dopey, the huge majority of the scientific community are not dopey and agree that global warming is a fact, and agree that mankinds reliance on fossil fuels, undoubtedly exacerbates the problem. The fact that gas and oil reserves are running out just gives huge energy companies more leverage to screw the poor with ridiculous price hikes. Poor people in rural areas are again screwed by huge price rises for fuel which they need for transport, farm machinery and generators. Becoming self sufficient and using geothermal heating, better insulation and more renewable sources of energy is a way of removing oneself from the tyranny of multinational power companies. Green energy is the future and for many it is already just a philosophy and way of life and has been for years.

How are we supposed to "responsibly" transport the oil sands from Canada to the refineries in the US? Is a pipeline irresponsible? I don't believe it is, i think it's a perfectly reasonable & rational way to transport the oil.

Again "irresponsibly" what's irresponsible about drilling in the United States? Is it easier or harder to clean up an oil spill that happens on land as opposed to one that happens a few miles underwater in the Gulf? Also once again Alternative fuels aren't effective enough or cheap enough.

Windfarms don't "save money" on energy & the Kennedy family have been some of the biggest supporters of "Green Energy"...windfarms are good enough for the Bourgeous but not good enough for the Elites, typical liberalism.

Al Gore is the poster child for Anthropogenic Global Warming, he has lied about it, made millions off it, and yet continues to fly around in his jet going from college to college to spread this horse shit to young idiot students who buy it hook line & sinker! That is why I constantly bring up Al Gore! Everyone else is just attempting to be another Al Gore.


When we talk about Alternative Fuels you have to understand at this moment right now the world (not just the United States) the WORLD runs on gas & oil. Complaining that there are no alternatives that are efficient enough or cheap enough at the moment is like cursing at a Neaderthal for using fire when you think he should use a light bulb....the technology is being worked on, it's having the ever living shit subsidized out of it and it's simply not ready so why waste money putting these bullshit alternatives that aren't good enough into place when more people can be helped with gas & oil.

Also the idea of "fossil fuels" is pretty laughable as well, they are simple abiotic hydrocarbons....how many fucking dinosaurs would it have taken to create the 18.83 million barrels of oil that the United States uses in 1 day or the 85 million barrels the entire World uses in one day? You think solar & wind can put a dent in that kind of usage
