Along those same lines consider this: Government agencies are supposed to be set up with a system of checks and balances. The EPA is largely exempt from this, and some would go so far as calling them completely unregulated. Congress has access to all kinds of inside information that hugely impacts green energy companies and LOTS of dollars are involved. Many in Congress are heavily invested in these very same green energy companies. Now, that would land you or I in prison. However, Congress is exempt from insider trading laws, because they voted themselves to be exempt from insider trading laws. http://www.moneychoice.org/rich-congress/ I am all for clean water and air, and I also understand how EPA fear mongering is used to channel dollars and impact votes.

As far as evil corporations. Oil and coal = old greed Wind Turbines, Solar, Green energy = new greed (ask all the greedy Washington insiders who invest in them)

Climate change is real. Climate change was also real the thousands of times it occured before mankind existed.

Buildings don't kill birds. Birds kill birds.

Wut now?

nice boots. wrong size.

If you're not sure go medium for this ride. There will be plenty of other rides to connect with smaller, faster groups.

That blows! No other damage?

Who here is old enough to remember "Acid Rain" in the '70s? It was a huge deal, until it wasn't.

OK. So if I receive an EPA research grant for Clean Air/Climate Change...which has a clearly stated agenda. If my findings are in conflict with that agenda, I wonder if my grant will be renewed. Honestly, has anyone ever referred to the EPA as non biased? http://www.epa.gov/region9/climatechange/grants.html

Agreed. http://www.epa.gov/region9/climatechange/grants.html

I'll try. In the mean time can you track down the sources of the funding for their research?

Climate Change has naturally occurred many, many, many times long before mankind existed. I think man's impact on climate is poorly understood and highly overestimated. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/earth/cause-ice-age.html

Ahhh, John Stewart. The sole source of news for thousands of idiots everywhere. Climate Change is all about saving the Polar Bears. You know a subspecies of Grizzly Bear whose evolution was triggered in the first place by...um...Climate Change...wait, what?

After a cold winter is Global Warming now called Climate Change? If we have a hot summer will it be Global Warming again?

Way to kill the thread with a well thought out statement

Not Catholic, but I think the new Pope is pretty interesting. While I assume this AP story is accurate...lot's of his statements are widely misrepresented by various media outlets.

Sounds interesting, except they seem to ship from China or Hong Kong. I have had bad luck buying stuff from there.

I welcome our new overlords. The gotta be better than the ones we have today.

I don't need anything too fancy, just for recording some shenanigans on curvy backroads.

For me there is just something wrong with trailering past tons of good twisties to get to good twisties.

You should Google that.
