Fox News said so.

Opinions and Analysis are entirely deferent.

I reject a lot of the evidence or so called evidence scientist present on this matter.

I don't think the voters will give a shit at least nothing significant to matter. Thats why I made the above comment.

Well that settles it, I suppose. I think you'd be better off believing the exact opposite of whatever Fox News says.

To be fair, Faux Noise is wrong about 90% of the time, the rest they cribbed from NPR.

And your basis for rejecting the scientific evidence - it that based on your review of any of the literature - or is it based on Fox News saying it ain't so?

In my view, opinions should follow analysis. When I provide a legal opinion, I review the facts, then research and analyze the law, and then applying the law to the facts, I provide an opinion. I find that when one pulls an opinion out of one's ass, it generally stinks.

The money from these "deep-pocketed donors" fighting global warming, would be better spent by fixing the potholes caused by all this snow

It's not herring or hearing, it's called reading. You should try it sometime.

Ennywho....

"The donor, Tom Steyer, a Democrat who founded one of the world’s most successful hedge funds, burst onto the national political scene during last year’s elections, when he spent $11 million to help elect Terry McAuliffe governor of Virginia and millions more intervening in a Democratic congressional primary in Massachusetts. Now he is rallying other deep-pocketed donors, seeking to build a war chest that would make his political organization, NextGen Climate Action, among the largest outside groups in the country, similar in scale to the conservative political network overseen by Charles and David Koch." NYTimes link in OP

It's not about just targeting climate change deniers, imo. This guy has been a force to contend with in light of the post 'Citizen's United' world we find ourselves in. He was a great help to Terry McAuliffe in the Virginia gubernatorial race and in others.

The shoe being on the other foot, if you will, as opposed to the negative influence of the Koch brothers.

With all do respect from a FAR RIGHTY, desertification is causing problems. Plant transpiration allows moisture to be drawn up into the air. Also, deserts blow dry & than blow away.
The speed in which the world's deserts are spreading is scary. If this continues, we will have no soil left...or rain for that matter. If you personally consider this "climate change" is up to you.
Just saying.

Well I believe in the fact that the world is overpopulated.
We were able to over populate when we started to exploit fossil fuels.

And to think we can shift what the planet wants to do because of the population growth is absurd. Everything is overexploited and human action creates a reaction.

There isn't anything that we can do to change the climate, the planet will do that. We are able to live in this period of the planets life because of the worming. That said the best thing we could do for human life is to reduce the population. I personally would say at least in half. Im sure numbers will be reduced soon enough, war and starvation will be here at some point.

Read the above carefully, again. I know you skipped it the first time.
Key sentence is "opinions follow analysis".

And,
what is this? "We were able to over populate when we started to exploit fossil fuels."
Or this?, "That said the best thing we could do for human life is to reduce the population."
