Man-Made Climate Change for Dummies

There is a big push to try to get the story out through conservative blogs and media, primarily Fox "News" that man-made climate change is a hoax. They're trying to make the case that because of the big snow storms on the east coast that climate change can't be real because it's cold and it's snowing more than usual. This is a completely ridiculous argument. NASA recently announced a study that shows that 2009 was the second warmest year in history.

But conservatives want to try to use their typical short-term thinking to make Americans believe because it's cold and snowing in winter, climate change is a hoax. They are the ones that are being taken for a ride though, in some cases by scientists that have been bribed by the oil companies, to try to refute the irrefutable. Rachel Maddow last night put it in terms I hope even conservatives can understand.

Stephen Colbert takes a whack at the nutty man-made climate change deniers.

Conservative, Andrew Sullivan breaks with the right

This is a very interesting segment with Andrew Sullivan, well-known conservative. Listening to him give me hope that the conservative movement can be brought back to reality from the fringes of society and those that have taken over the right wing of American politics. The craziest thing is that in a poll released in Politico today, is that the so-called Tea Party out polls the Republican party.

Sarah Palin Supporters Show Their Stupidity

This is a really amazing piece. The supporters of Sarah Palin don't seem to know very much about foreign or domestic policy. It's amazing that these people have lived in America all their lives. These people really scare me as being low information voters. Would you ever vote for Sarah Palin?
