FRANKFORT --Global warming is a myth concocted by former Vice President Al Gore, the United Nations, Hollywood and the news media, Kentucky lawmakers were told yesterday.

 

The interim joint Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee held a hearing to dispute the idea that the Earth is warming, at least in part because of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere produced by industrial activity.

 

Chairman Jim Gooch, D-Providence, a longtime ally of the coal industry, said he purposefully did not invite anyone who believes in global warming to testify.

 

"You can only hear that the sky is falling so many times," said Gooch, whose post makes him the House Democrats' chief environmental strategist. "We hear it every day from the news media, from the colleges, from Hollywood."

Another apple for us.

Why bother having a hearing if you're not going to get any dissent?

And as he said, that view we are beat over the head every single day. That view, as someone alludes to, can be rented at the corner Blockbuster for 3.99.

You have got to be kidding me?

 

Even if you DON"T BELIEVE in Global Warming you have got to know that the burning of fossil fuels is bad for both your health and the environment's. Or is that ACID RAIN stuff just a conspiracy theory too.

So a toady for the oil industry and a loopy British journalist -- neither of them scientists -- are the spokesmen for the anti-Global Warming lobby? That's some strong ground they're standing on. :lol:

 

Why again are they considered "experts" in the field, and why are they permitted to address the General Assembly on this issue? Stuff like this is why I am souring on politics.

Well it is Frankfort. A city so unique it has become a caricature of itself.

Reminds me of one of my favorite quotes...

 

Not believing in the truth does not keep it from being true.

Wonderful advocacy from the industry that has been a great community contributor (coal towns), a wonderful employer w/benefits (black lung), creator of parks and recreation (strip mining), etc.

 

Add in a backstop, pay at the door state rep all it makes is another wonderful example why we look the way we do across the country. Next up, Fletcher will weigh in the Peabody effort will create drinking water.:creepy:

Except we don't have proof that it's true.

The truth is the truth, regardless.
