Global warming is still up for debate | DailyComet.com | The Thibodaux Daily Comet | Thibodaux, LA

The hysterical global-warming rhetoric is being used to advance the anti-capitalist policies and the agenda of environmentalists and liberal Democrats.

The cap and trade fraud, no drilling and no nuclear energy policies, Kyoto Treaty, the “global green deal, etc. will burden us all with higher taxes, fewer jobs and higher energy costs.

Liberal policies especially hurt the poor.

Now is not the time to be gullible or naive. These arrogant people work for us and they don’t have our best interests at heart. We pay their salaries.

Do your homework. Let your voice be heard. Tell them to stop ruining our economy and taking our hard earned money. Enough.
