It's Not Easy Being Green...

Kermit the Frog was getting tired of blending in when he sang the words, "It isn't easy being green."  But he's got nothing on the GoreBama environmental crowd.  These greens are having a horrible time fitting reality to their wilting rhetoric.

First, Evergreen Solar in Massachusetts, recipient of $58 million in subsidies to promote green jobs, filed for bankruptcy and moved all 800 jobs to China.  Proof once more that Obama really is creating or saving millions of jobs...for the Chinese...at your expense.

Next up, CERN, a big to do European concern in the world of science (high energy physics), finally succumbed to science over politics, and let some researchers test a few theories about cloud formation that they had been reluctant to allow.  The results may well unhinge the anthropogenic global warming cart from its team of asses.  We now have hard scientific evidence that cosmic radiation increases cloud cover.  Cloud cover has a significant impact on warming.  Up side?  Al Gores massively hypocritical carbon footprint is even less of an actual risk to the planet than prior to the CERN  announcement.

But fear not Planeteers! Al Gore Warming (AGW) will not be undone so easily.

I try not to respond to your foolish rants about climate change. But I apparently can't stop myself.

Consider, for once, how much of the earth's long buried energy resources have been burned, with all of the waste products unleashed into the atmosphere in a relatively short period of time as the result of industrialization. Consider that ultimately we live in a closed system.

You can refute, and spin however you want, but there is no way that we all, including you, are not having a significant impact on the earth's atmosphere, - and there are consequences.

Do you call yourself a conservative ? I bet you do. The conservative thing to do is to consider the possibility that we are having an impact, - and to unleash unlimited creativity to stop having such an impact. To do otherwise, whether you like Al Gore or not, is foolhardy, and immoral.

Hey vparm –
There is a dark seed to your position, but you need to water it a bit more. Rather than place your bets on the gossamer wings of CO2 AGW, you get much more bang-for-the-buck focusing on real pollutants like lead and mercury. Anyone seen the safety – or should I say unsafety – warnings about eating fish east of the midwest/Bow smokestacks? Now that's how you trap a conservative's freedom arguments in a blanket of insulating CO2.

Cdog -

Seems to me a real conservative would want to eliminate lead, mercury and also limit CO2 emissions. They all impact ecoystems -Why gamble needlessly with our (actually our kids' )future?

There are alternative ways to power our lives, and they'll generate a lot of jobs (despite Michelle Bachman's inaccurate account of this). Small businesses, dealing in smaller scale energy projects - are much better than Bow smokestacks, - as you've astutely noted.
