Oakland Democratic Politics: man-made climate change

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.
