They are about to have a showdown over that Keystone Pipeline thing for Godsake.

Nice timing too.

Anyway, Berkut-- that was an Obama quote from 2009 when he was lecturing GOP lawmakers.  I like to throw it back occasionally as a semi-troll.

Then why do all those guys at that Breitbart site say the same thing?  Who the hell are they trolling?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

The liberals?

Just because liberals don't read Breitbart first-hand doesn't mean the Breitbart people can't troll-gloat from a distance.

It seems to be a strategy of all governments to deal with the inconvenient truths of science.

What inconvenient truths?
Climate change is tool of progressives and communists against free market capitalism and liberty, designed to grow gubmint at our expense.

That makes no sense.  Free Market Capitalism can easily make emission free products.  And we will, shortly.  It is the Communists who turn everything into a smog filled shithole.

You seem to go there more often than I do, so I guess they're trolling you.  Got a link, btw?

I believe that conspiracy theory has been the undercurrent to a great deal of climate denialism.

I'm impressed that the conspiracy has the resources to melt glaciers, melt polar ice and set global temperature records year after year.  Anybody with the resources to fake environmental change on this scale probably doesn't need the government spending more money.

I've always wondered what the purpose of all these people making up data about climate change might be...I can certainly understand the motive of the deniers - they don't want anyone interfering with businesses need to make the 1% more money.

But they don't seem to even bother trying to come up with a credible motive for the world-wide conspiracy to manufacture this crisis. Which is why I don't even really believe that the deniers actually believe what they are saying - it is too stupid to be believed.

Rather, I think they mostly just don't care.

That's nothing.  They got black man elected President of the United States.

I don't get what's so objectionable about 'elections have consequences'. It was right when Obama said it, it's right now.

That doesn't stop the GOP being batshit on the environment.
