From Fraudster Ål Gore's latest insane rant: "It is not uncommon for the nightly newscast to resemble a nature hike through the Book of Revelation"

Climate of Denial | Rolling Stone Politics
In one corner of the ring are Science and Reason. In the other corner: Poisonous Polluters and Right-wing Ideologues.
...
the Polluters and Ideologues are trampling all over the "rules" of democratic discourse. They are financing pseudoscientists whose job is to manufacture doubt about what is true and what is false; buying elected officials wholesale with bribes that the politicians themselves have made "legal" and can now be made in secret; spending hundreds of millions of dollars each year on misleading advertisements in the mass media; hiring four anti-climate lobbyists for every member of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives. (Question: Would Michael Jordan have been a star if he was covered by four defensive players every step he took on the basketball court?)
...last year's "Snowmaggedon" in the northeastern United States is part of the same pattern, notwithstanding the guffaws of deniers.
...the biggest storms are not only becoming more frequent, they are getting bigger, stronger and more destructive.
... Should we care about the loss of Spain, France, Italy, the Balkans, Turkey, Tunisia? ...
The truth is this: What we are doing is functionally insane. If we do not change this pattern, we will condemn our children and all future generations to struggle with ecological curses for several millennia to come. Twenty percent of the global-warming pollution we spew into the sky each day will still be there 20,000 years from now!
...All over the world, the grassroots movement in favor of changing public policies to confront the climate crisis and build a more prosperous, sustainable future is growing rapidly.
...Continuing on our current course would be suicidal for global civilization...
Here is the core of it: we are destroying the climate balance that is essential to the survival of our civilization. ....
Second, deepen your commitment by making consumer choices that reduce energy use and reduce your impact on the environment.
...
The climate crisis, in reality, is a struggle for the soul of America. ...What hangs in the balance is the future of civilization as we know it.
