Rep. Barton, space junk, denial, and climate... | Gather

In this silly little Middle School level non-science, Barton parrots the Denial line: It's absurd to conceive of the notion that a few humans (nearly 7 billion) could actually push a planet's climate, even a little planet like this one.
...
So there you have it. For over a century, humans have busied themselves pumping billions of tons of carbon into the sky, but denialists cannot conceive that the stuff could actually cause us any problems. Yet in only fifty years, the leftovers from moonshots, satellite launches, and various other shortsighted junk deposits in near space have created a situation where NASA is starting to have trouble figuring out an orbit that will not result in an astronaut losing his life in an explosive decompression incident should a bit of metal pass through his compartment, or his body, at tremendous speed, because there is so much crap floating around.

No way humans are capable of creating climate change, so you need to rethink your concerns about space junk NASA. Cut it out with that vivid imagination! It's a big sky up there, no way we could make a difference!

Global warming: Realists seek a middle ground | Jacksonville.com

Being a climate realist does not mean that you are against being "green" or that you are ignorant about environmental issues such as recycling or objecting to the burning of fossil fuels that poison and contaminate the atmosphere in which we live and breathe.

On the other hand, government-funded scientists exaggerate climate research for the sole purpose of obtaining large grants and will undoubtedly come unstuck as the world becomes cooler and carbon dioxide continues to rise.

From all that I can read, the world's governments' solution is to apply "green taxation," cap and trade, as a cure to world-wide increases in carbon dioxide.

Their unscientific philosophy of climate change is starting to fall apart.

Carbon dioxide output has continued to rise, yet global temperatures have started to fall!

State can't stop global warming -- baltimoresun.com

My suggestion is that whenever someone claims that Maryland must take action with respect to climate change, the common sense questions that the people of Maryland should ask themselves are: "How much will these actions by Maryland change the temperature on the Earth?" and "What cost, in treasure and jobs, would be acceptable for that achievement - and who, exactly, is being asked to pay?"
