You have no clue what you're talking about, as proven by your totally outdated jargon that even the knowledgeable naysayers left behind years ago. So the name of the newsgroup is a dated term? From what I understand the word "global warming" is still used by the media, even by believers. Most people are finally admitting it's not-warming-everywhere "climate change" now? Also, you in the group keep referring to the effect of CFCs on the ozone as "dated", I know they are banned now, but I was referring to how only using the word "warm" could link the climate change issue to holes created by greenhouse gases in the minds of non-intellectuals (such as politicians). Thus "Global Warming" becomes a platform plank where we need to (de)regulate business activity based on more than just short-term health problems. "Climate Change" is harder to prove. -- AzzMazta's Political Institute Verbal Diarrhea & More Washington, DC (http://www.xcopfly.com/) |

Yes it is -- and they were fined for that too, in addition to being fined for not clearing the methane. In any event and however you slice it (and as demonstrted by film clips of the guy's own words), the guy seems to be a real slime ball. Another example of greed run amok. I wonder if the fine townsfolk of Montcoal will decide to tar and feather Blankenship or at least run him out of town on a rail. |
