Climate change deniers are like the birthers. No matter who says it is happening, they do not believe it. No matter who says Hawaii is part of the US, they are not buying it. No belief in science, though they use it every day. Just odd.
Fracking is causing earthquakes, Natural gas wells leak methane, 24 7, tar oil cannot be cleaned up, is toxic to humans and animals, coal dumps millions of gallons of sludge into rivers poisoning them. Who wants clean, renewable energy?
Solar
Hydro
Hemp
Tidal
Wind
Geothermal
How many natural sources do we need to stop us from digging up the bones of our ancestors? When will we get out of the graveyards of the dinosaurs?
Don't tell me it is to expensive.
We spend far more on war for oil than going entirely renewable would cost.
Job losses?
You can't outsource the jobs from green energy, they pretty much are done on site, and green energy creates more jobs than oil or coal could even dream of.
The only reason we are not into green energy is because a very few, very rich people do not want us to be free of the control that monopolistic power sources give to them.
Even green energy can be raised to be so expensive a person can't buy it, or so they say.
Unfortunately for oil and coal, you can make your own solar panels, your own windmills, and do it for thousands of dollars less.
Doing so not only improves our atmosphere, it also takes a little bit of the control away from the big corporations who have a monopoly on our power.
Having, for example, solar energy for your home helps spread the power around so it is not so vulnerable to power failures, whether it be intentional or storm driven.

Channel 7, Denver Biased toward Lies
Channel7 news at Denver misinforms and spreads myths again.One might call it lying, The GOP call it not factual.
Again, they have shown their biased reporting by saying the college kid who was partying jumped off the balcony because of marijuana. They neglected entirely the fact, reported very quickly at the end of the story when it first came out, that he was also drinking alcohol, and who knows what else. The toxicology report has yet to come out.
In an unrelated story, a man tragically shot his wife who had called 911 for help.Her husband was hallucinating, and there was a gun in the house.She was afraid. She mentioned he had eaten a medicated candy. He also was on prescription drugs for at least depression. Drugs that have known side effects of hallucinations. Once again, it was very, very quickly, 2 or 3 seconds worth, mentioned that he was taking other drugs. That was the only time these drugs were mentioned in any of the followup stories. From that point on, only the edible marijuana was mentioned.
They also said something about overdosing on marijuana.
You don't overdose on marijuana. It makes you go to sleep. You cannot overdose, this is a myth that has been debunked over and over.
Yet, there it is, on Channel 7 News, Denver. An out and out lie about marijuana.
Is it any wonder people are totally misinformed as to this and so many other issues, when the news insists on misinforming, misleading and outright lying to us?
Another instance of Channel 7 News misleading and misinformation... there was a fire of unknown causes, it is still being investigated. Channel 7 comes on and says it could be a fire from the production of hash oil. They don't say, it could be from natural gas..there were supposed to be explosions, and that is also a possibility, they didn't say it could be a fire from innumerable causes. The only conclusion they have is that it could be a fire from hash oil. If they don't know what the cause is, and it is rather difficult for them to say they do, as the experts don't know..investigation pending..why in the world would they do their best to make people believe hash oil production was the cause? It could have been pipe bombs made by the news crew at channel 7 news, too, but they don't say that, now, do they?
Isn't it time for the lies to stop? Who does it benefit to keep hemp and medical marijuana, recreational for that matter, illegal? Who are the companies and corporations that are so afraid of it they use their influence to keep the American people misinformed? What do they have to gain, or to loose for that matter?
I won't go into that, there is a huge supply of information on the web about the criminalization of the cannabis plant. It certainly was not for our welfare, and we need to fight these people any way we can.
