Ahh, you do not like that it was the Republicans that started the EPA and ended the pollution. I left out a whole bunch, like the entire last century, was for the most part congress was completely controlled by Democrats. I guess we could go down the big polluter list, start in new york around buffalo, and see if maybe there is a scandal beyond belief, like democrat politicians buying known contaminated land from buddies to use as a school.It was the capitalist president, Nixon that started the EPA, to fix the mess created here by democrats, which controlled congress, and which held the Presidency for most of the last century. How come Kennedy, Johnson, Carter, Truman, or Roosevelt never stopped any pollution, never stopped the dumping of toxic waste, or invent Green Energy?Because these people are socialists and their main goal is attacking capitalism.
Like all leftists, they have to hide their true motives behind a "cause."...
Not at all. Enjoy your capitalism to your heart's content. Go to Congress, talk to your buddies about monopolizing green energy just as you got monopolies on the smudgy power industry back in the last century. Enjoy higher profits while the sun shines by building tandem solar thermal steam generators next to your coal and oil ones.
Nobody says capitalism should go away. Quite the contrary. There's money to be made on green energy! Do it and quit whining.
Meanwhile if you like to make money, it should interest you to know that a destablized world from climate change is one where there's not a lot of people with money and resources to consume the product you're selling. Chaos is a terrible time to be a capitalist. Therefore, your long term investment portfolio should include serious endeavors to help 1. Recognize what happens when ice caps begin melting (the specific heat of water drawing in huge heat energy as it phase changes from solid ice to liquid ocean waters) and the weird warm/cold snaps resulting and 2. Take steps to try to correct the problem; assuming we aren't already beyond a crucial tipping point.
I had made suggestions to this effect. Some are here: Trees in the Desert I Have a Dream.. Page 4 US Message Board - Political Discussion Forum
Imagine if as a capitalist, you got involved in a project reclaiming desert regions as habitable? Crops could be profited off of, real estate, other types of commerce. Here's a projection tip: as the population swells, food is going to be the next gold; food and fresh water and a place to live. Get busy capitalists! Fix the planet you wrecked last century and secure your future!
Gonna be lots of green in your future and in your wallet too.. Unless you think horse and buggy is still the way to go come hell or high water?...(literally)...

Do we have to fix the parts that Communism ruined?
You left off Eisenhower. And to list the Presidents that ignored the Environment you have to do back to Teddy R who inherited the Industrial Revolution and started to actually do something about it. BTW, Teddy R. was an old style Lincoln Republican as was Eisenhower. Get your history right for a change.
We have 22% of our snow fall this year. While no records for heat have been broken, for the last couple of weeks (in Feb) every day has tied for records for the last 150 years.
What's sad is, NASA predicted this in November for both sides of the nation. Actually, the East Coast hasn't faired nearly as bad as history shows. But in the West, we are hammered by heat. When heat is present in the wrong times, it causes a lack of Water in the Air, hence the lack of rain. And when the Rockies has a shortage, it affects at least 15 states. Lake Powell was down 100 feet last year. This year, it's going to go down even further. It may end up just being a mud puddle. The Power that Hoover Dam puts out is already cut and it's going to be even worse.
So go ahead and place the blame but we all have to live with the results.
But, that is another thread. This year was hot? Yes, those fake numbers are very hot, that is what this thread is about, a fraud by you.
Seriously, in a thread that has the facts about all the temperature data pushed up, hotter, you are going to claim they were accurate? You guys got busted, you can not claim its hotter, you data is fake.
Lake Powell was down? Good, tear down that damn and let the river live. Of course then you could remove all that sentiment that has reduced its capacity, which raise the capacity, hence it would not be down so much.
Where do you think all that erosion from the grand canyon goes, do you believe it completely stopped because of a couple dams or are the experts who say the dam has less capacity right.
Either way, Lake Powell is lower now because Arizona is now taking its full share of the water, before it was exclusively for California. Lake Powell was made to give us water, if its always full we never needed it, if it is never half empty, the Dam was built twice the size it needed to be.
Lake Powell, funny, named after Colonel Powell, who explored the West, the first to ride the Colorado River all the way through the canyon recommended nobody live west of the Mississippi, It was too dry back then. Now we support over 30,000,000 people with water from reservoirs. Powell may still be right, that over a 100 ago it was dry as hell, and it still is dry as hell. And you think it was what, dry this year?
Go try to scare someone else.
You want to blow some kid's mind? (and Kid in my mind is anyone under the age of 45)
Ask them who founded the EPA.
When you answer, Richard Millhouse Nixon, watch their eyes go wide and their minds just blow.
Most of them assume it had to be Kennedy, or Johnson. But no it was Nixon.
It's hilarious watching them wrap their minds around that.
