Why can't they get it right, I can't take it any longer!

I thing you're missing a point here. It's not about getting anything right. It's a scam regardless of how you package it. Weather the climate is warming or cooling is all the same as long as the gullible public beats their breasts and pays up for the "damage" they're doing. Even if it becomes obvious that it's all related to solar activity , some politicians will "fund" some scientists to spin it so civilized society is held liable. Don't doubt the stupidity of the masses, just look back in history. I'm afraid the climate cult is here to stay even if totally discredited. Some still believe the earth is flat.

I believe that each and everyone of us needs to be environmentally responsible. I believe that no one wants a "dirty" planet. But responsible environmentalism is a far cry from the fear tactics and what now appears to be half truths by a certain carbon producing ex US President. ;-)

IMO, the carbon producing ex-VP is a clever caplitalist who is using this effectively to earn $$.

I wouldn't mind him being a carbon producing capitalist using this to effectively earn money if like minded people would treat him that way. If a minister preaches against sin and then goes on to act the very way he admonishes others to not act he is disgraced and and removed from his pulpit. Al Gore preaches to the world the sins of carbon use and then goes on to live a carbon sinful life and his "congregation" simply worships him more and he makes more money.

I truly believe, and there is evidence in the files of the KGB to back it up, these environmental groups were created by the marxist left of the U.S. with funding from the KGB, for the sole purpose of undermining the U.S. economy and our GDP. Unforutnately, the fall of the Soviet empire did not also take with it the marxist left entrenched in the academia of the U.S. It has never been about the environment or science, its all been about anti-capitalism.

Now, the marxist left has captured the Democrat Party in the U.S. and our economy and national security are in jeopardy because of it. Not having the ability to produce the energy required for the national security of this nation is troubling to say the least. An unnecessary move from a fossil fuel economy to a "alternative energy" economy is both destructive to our economy and our ability to produce the means to secure our way of life.

There is no reason why we should not be energy independant by nuclear power and the use of our own very plentiful resources like natural gas, coal and oil. We have not been able to acomplish this due to the environmental movement. The same movement that has created the economic inflation associated with the artificial energy squeeze and the national security crisis of the middle east petro-empires.

Cue Obama and his marxist (Ayers, Dohrn, Wright, Davis, Klonsky, et. al) connections to take over the government. A successful coop?

Regulated capitalism is good IMO. Unfettered capitalism tends towards monopolies, cartels and the short term exploitation of resources at the expense of many long term negative effects. As an example of environmental exploitation... if whales are hunted to extinction in a non-regulated world... the value of their produce increases as they become more rare, hence the motivation to cull them to extinction. If Asian peoples killed off all the male tigers (and the species) because their penises were worth tens of thousands of dollars... do you think that is good?

Do you really think that Alaskan oil is going to substitute, in the US, for the oil currently purchased from foreign sources?

As for the McCarthyism in the rest of your post... why is it that many University Professors are communists according to you? Are the majority of non-communists in the US discriminated against when applying for academic jobs? Are the non-communist professors not activists? Are people who lean right politically not smart enough to become professors? I suppose you could make the argument that smart capitalists tend to want to make more money than the typical wage of a professor. But that would just be telling us that if every smart person was a diehard capitalist... then we would either not have universities... or we would only have unintelligent people teaching there.

The only reason why our rivers and air are significantly cleaner than a 100 years ago is because of the environmental movement.

Unfettered/unrestricted capitalism to me is like football without rules or referees.
