On Hardball, moments ago:
PAT BUCHANAN: Global Warming is now a hoax--
CHRIS MATTHEWS: Do you think Global Warming is a hoax?
BUCHANAN: I do think it's a hoax.
MATTHEWS: It's a hoax?
BUCHANAN: I think it goes up and down. The idea this is grave--
MATTHEWS: -- CO2 emissions, greenhouse gases, doesn't exist?
BUCHANAN: No, it does, of course it exists. The idea we're all gonna die of this is utter nonsense. It's a power transfer to governments here, and governments abroad.
MATTHEWS: And the motivation is what?
BUCHANAN: And the motivation is power. It always is in government.
MATTHEWS: So people like Al Gore have cooked this up to get what?
BUCHANAN: No, I think he believes it, Chris, like the Birthers believe it. He's just like they are. It's a religious belief with them.
Remind me again why this guy is on TV?
UPDATE: Here's the video.

















Strange kind of religion, though. It's kind of like atheism. They don't believe -in- something, but rather -against- something.
Examples:
- Keynesian economic theory. Has this every proven correct? It's questionable at best, as is most economic theory since there is no control to compare to.
- Marxism, Fascism, Socialism, etc. Leftist political ideologies that ascribe Utopian goals if the rules are set up properly. Has this ever worked? It's arguable that the free market does a far better job. Marx posited that the value of a good should be correlated to the effort that went into making it. Does that make any sense in light of modern supply-demand economic theory?

No, go back and read it again. "The world’s ocean surface temperature was the warmest on record for June, breaking the previous high mark set in 2005,..."
There were also a great many record cold temperatures throughout the world, particularly in the southern hemisphere. If you want to debate facts, I would be happy to oblige you.
Regretably, however respectful and polite I am to "the believers" they always end up spewing profanity and launching ad homenin attacks.
Will you be any different?

Any profanity or attacks in there you can find? Lemme know ... Try reading this one more carefully, FYI
Of course there are a great many qualifications to go with that claim. I've spent the last 14 years working for PhD's and witnessing statistical sleight of hand on a daily basis.
I'm extremely skeptical of any claim by anyone. Thanks for keeping it civil. Nice talking with you.
Government scientists have been paid billions over the last decade or so to give governments "scientific" cover to re-engineer human society to their liking.
Tragically, the world's poor and impoverished will pay the highest price.
Take a history lesson and look at climate change over millions of yrs.
In the 70's YOU LOONS were predicting another Ice Age...wrong then...wrong now.
