House votes 244-179 to kill U.S. funding of IPCC

Just before 2 a.m. on February 19, the war on climate science showed its grip on the U.S. House of Representatives as it voted to eliminate U.S. funding for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The Republican majority, on a mostly party-line vote of 244-179, went on record as essentially saying that it no longer wishes to have the IPCC prepare its comprehensive international climate science assessments.

1. So in 2012 if repukes win big like they did in 2010, what will that say?

[Angry Dragon]

4. It says that this country will be looking for a couple of more

wars to get into
Hurry and sign up now so you can one of the first to get on the front lines

[still_one]

7. In my view it will say that the country has jumped the shark, and if the people have no sense of

history and how the country has and is faring under repuke rule since reagan, there will be a lot of pain before things are rebuilt again

[Angry Dragon]

9. Perhaps that pain will finally wake up the radical right republicans

and they will that they were led down the path to the slippery slope of hell

11. Bush for 8 years was not enough of an inoculation for the US. Lessons are

learned very hard in the US. The willful stupidity in this country is epidemic. And Reagan is still a hero. I think it will take the US falling completely to the bottom before people wake up and get a clue. Citizens are lambs and easily led, Americans are bred to be lambs with programmed robotic minds.

2. Proof that evolution isn't happening....

Neanderthals still roam the Earth.

3. +1000 +++ in fact, we are regressing. Fortunately other countries will

take the lead as we regress into obscurity.

[Drale]

5. I think it is proof that our mental capacity is devolving

and it probably has something to do with all the pollutants in the water and food.

[glinda]

8. Close. It has to do with fracking, Koch Bros., BP, Shell, coal etc.....so it is

in the water because the water is poisoned and they don't care.
It is beyond time that these monster Corpse are brought in for trial and sentencing.

12. We won't see it IMO. The money runs too deep and too high. They own the gov. along

with wall street and the banksters. The only way to move forward is to get all of the money out of politics and gov. I have no idea how that is going to happen, it's an infestation. And certainly SCOTUS is of no help.

[GliderGuider]

13. You're right.

The corporations own the governments of most Western nations now. And the governments sit at the pinnacle of the legal pyramid. There will be no overall redress, just the occasional show trial if some corporation oversteps itself.

There is no solution to this problem - the parasite has taken over the host's vital functions, and removing it now would kill the host.

[RKP5637]

15. A bleak assessment but quite factual IMO, especially, the parasite has taken over the host's vital

functions, and removing it now would kill the host. A very succinct factual description! I keep hoping for a metamorphosis to something better, but that's probably unrealistic for a very long time, if ever. Thanks for your reply!

16. Are we defeated? I say there must be a way. It is going to take the

majority of the Nation to rid our system of the problems which are many. There is power in people though. Yes, we feel defeated but we know what the problems are and they are all connected. HIt one or two and the dominoes will start to fall.

[GliderGuider]

18. I hope you're right. However, consider what's at at stake:

In order to remove the parasitic corporate mycelium the entire global economy will have to go. Either we have to dismantle it voluntarily or it has to collapse for some reason. There is no way to replace it with something else if it is still in place. The entire global economy. Do you want to go there?

I do, but I'm an odd duck.

14. Its still evolution, its just maladaptation.

[NickB79]

10. The political equivalent of putting your fingers in your ears and yelling "LALALALALALALALALALA"

"I CAN'T HEAR YOU, LALALALALALALA, NO CLIMATE CHANGE HERE, LALALALALALALA"

[Viking12]

17. Not very Reagan-like of them....

Why would they forsake an organization initiated by their hero?
