CT (MAGA Exxon)- You are right about the earth natural heating and cooling cycle but that cycle is being altered. However,
Your whole argument hinges on the notion fossil fuel emissions have no impact. Pretty big elephant to ignore. That's the reason the crap you post on the subject is...crap.

BTW fossil fuel extraction emits methane a much more potent greenhouse gas. A lot of it.

Here is another good one. When a BBC reporter tried to lecture Guyana's president over "climate change" as applied to Guyana's new oil and gas reserves, Guyana's president shut him down:

Van Zant - Absolutely Agree.

Country Girl - Since I'm from Pitt County, I follow Mr. Murphy closer than most representatives. I have listened to him speak on a number of occasions; I have written to his office to express my opinions on various issues and responded to some of his online "polls." I'm not saying he's all good or all bad, but he is one that we have to watch. I receive his monthly newsletter and he's very, very, good about pointing out his great support for our military bases and service men and women. However, when the EVIL cabal known as the Federal Renaming Commission started erasing anything Confederate related across our state and our nation, I doubt he did anything to stand up for our Southern heritage and our honorable Confederate soldiers and sailors that were designated years ago by the U.S. Congress as U.S. veterans. Personally, I'm very proud of my family's ancestors who stood in the face of overwhelming odds to protect their friends and family, their livelihoods, and their homeland.

Mr. Lincoln reminds me quite a bit of Joe Biden. He was driven by wealthy industrialists and corrupt politicians like a puppet, to do their bidding to economically rape the Southland and destroy our peaceful way of life.

During the CLimategate email scandal, it was revealed that the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia in the UK had obtained custody of the UK's historical temperature records and that those numbers had been "adjusted" as part of their studies. University officials later acknowledged that they did not know if original unadjusted copies of those historical records even still existed. This is just one more example of the manipulation of data for ideological purpuses that is ongoing with the climate alarmists.

Noticed that Greg Murphy is NOT on the list of 19 that voted against the bill. Really does not surprise me in the least his voting record speaks for itself.

Perhaps a better definition of CR should be "Caving Republicans." Agreed, working with a very thin majority is most difficult but our Republican representatives have been caving for years and years to get us into this mess. A 34 TRILLION DOLLAR debt is the result of concession after concession after concession. Where will it ever end? Future generations are being encumbered with extreme (unfair) debt due to the vast stupidity and self-centeredness of politicians who care more about the next election cycle than the next generation. SHUT IT DOWN!

I used to run into Pete when I was a GOP delegate to the 3rd congressional district. We got to hang out a bit along the way and I came to appreciate him as a true American patriot!

Not too long ago, ECU med school was promoting this genital mutilation of children.

Giving gender confused children drugs that permanent screw up their bodies or cutting off their genitals is what I would call "treating them like crap." What needs to be done is to counsel them on growing out of their gender confusion so that they will be comfortable in their correct biological gender.

Given their manipulation of data revealed in the Climategate email dump, this is not at all surprising. The climate alarmists will fudge whatever they have to in order to push their narrative and agenda. "Hide the decline" as they said in those Climategate emails.

Another good example is looking at where their significant increases in temperature come from, and those are the weather stations that in years past were in rural areas that have now bcome urbanized. The increased temperatures come from the change in surroundings, not "climate change".

One symbol of climate alarmist manipulation was Michael Mann's hockety stick chart, which was a major exhibit in one of the UN reports but disappeared thereafter. What happened was that a Canadian mining engineer wondered about Mann's chart and asked for the supporting data, which Mann refused to give him (a suspicious move in science itself). The mining engineer then tried to go through other sources at the university where Mann taught to obtain the supporting data. Finally a graduate student who had worked on the project gave him the website address with all the raw data. The mining engineer was then able to see that Mann had cherry picked data to come up with a predetermined conclusion and blew the whistle on it.

Mann has been tied to at least one other major fabrication, a study showing rising temperatures in Anarctica. Mann's study was based on temperature averages, but on that one the raw data was readily available, and it blew up Mann's theory. All but one of the reporting stations had maintained a steady temperature, and what threw the average off was a single reporting station, and that changed dramatically between two years. It turned out that the siting of that reporting station had been moved at the time the readings changed dramatically. The old location of that station had consistently had cooler readings and the new location, which kept the same name, consistently higher readings. So Mann's whole study was garbagte.

Mann once taught in Virginia, and the state Attorney General had once opened an investigation on him for obtaining grant money based on bogus studies. Thereafter, Mann moved to another state.

Fact: The earth is heating due to fossil fuel emissions.
The implications of that fact are up for debate and people all over the world do so everyday. CT and his opposing views included.

Unfortunately, he is either a paid influencer or is deep down the rabbit hole of conspiracy theories, which makes anyone who chooses that route, look like an idiot.
Take your pick.

People often have diverse opinions. I have a wide range of opinions from conservative to liberal. That’s why I consider myself middle of the road. I’m not beholden to what’s popular. I hate group think. I think for myself and can stand up to those who think I should sit down.
For those reasons I could never be in the MAGA cult. MAGA means tow the line or your out. Well I’m not in and this is my country too.
