Apparently Big Oil Money Doesn't Buy As Much As It Used To

Who's an elite snob? (4.00 / 1)

This sham group, AFP, is funded almost exclusively by Koch Industries and their people, who also happen to be second only to ExxonMobil in spending on lobbying.  Who benefits from our dependence on oil?  Only the top 1% of the population.

Invest in Clean Energy Now, and Reap Benefits Later (4.00 / 1)

I guess climate scientists working with Americans for Prosperity think that global warming is a large hoax, and would like to ignore the work of more than 2,000 Nobel Prize-winning scientists involved with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change?  And, I guess the economists working with Americans for Prosperity would like to ignore the substantial economic benefits of investing in a new clean energy economy outlined by world-renowned economist?  

Humans contribute to a changing climate, a climate for the most part is changing for the worst - winter tornados in OK, raging fires in Australia... are these coincidences, or are things looking bad?  

I am not 100% sure, but if being safe (taking steps now to reduce our CO2 emissions and our impact on nature), rather than being sorry means making money instead of losing money, then count me in!  

Whether or not humans contribute to climate change, is an argument of the past, WE DO!  

Now, it is up for Americans to invest a little time and a little money now to combat climate change, and reap the substantial rewards in the future.  Let's put the partisan bickering aside and tackle the difficult tasks that are ahead of us.

ugg boots london (0.00 / 0)

ugg boots london I saw uggs new york something shocking uggs london on my way to work the other day. While bundled in a long sleeved shirt, wool sweater and coat, with a Pashmina, hat and gloves,ugg boots london sale I saw a man with his bike a the bus stop in SANDALS. He wasn't overly well dressed for cold weather, in jeans,ugg boots sale london t-shirt and open jacket. Now, having lived in Oregon for the past decade I have come to be aware of what "true Oregonians" consider winter attire. ugg boots london shop This primarily consists of the inbred belief that flip-flops are a necessity year round, and sweaters and umbrellas are for tourists.
I do not uphold this belief. I love getting dressed up for winter, layering on leggings with my sweater dress and ugg boots new york, a sweater and a jacket, and a rotating army of scarves, hats and gloves. I don't enjoy being frozen, especially knowing how easy a situation that is to avoid. uggs new york sale So personally, buy ugg boots london I do not consider myself a "true Oregonian." I like umbrellas, and only wear flip flops when it's above 75 degrees.Based on the population of Oregon, ugg new york I'm probably in the minority. ugg boots london stockistsAlthough I have come to accept that these people are just immune to cold in a way I am not, uggs new york of sale I do still think they are crazy. I'm guessing that the good folks at UGG Australia caught wind of these people because look at what they have to offer: sandals with fleece!uggs new york on sale
