- tman84, on 06/06/2008, -57/+120More and more the Global Warming scam is becoming like a religion. Just like God, Global Warming needs your help and it needs that help in the form of your money.
- zelig, on 06/06/2008, -31/+82Does the media EVER get it? Just a few years ago, nuclear power plants were going to destroy mankind. Now, we must "build some 1,400 nuclear power plants". A few years ago the earth was going to freeze, now it's going to boil. Bran was good for you, now it's bad. It's not so much that they "report " these "facts" to us, it's how emphatic and worked up they all get about it. The polar bears are disappearing, the glaciers are melting and Manhattan will soon be underwater, and while we're at it, let's award Al Gore the Nobel PEACE Prize. Gonzoland.
- inactive, on 06/06/2008, -20/+63So they need $45 trillion dollars so that they can force companies to produce less CO2 and in effect less product costing even more money. So what will the REAL total cost end up being?
Then how much will it cost to combat activist lawsuits before we even built these 1400 nuclear power plants? And then there were the environmentalist that shut down California's wind power project because seagulls were getting killed in the windmills... - BigBlueCarbon, on 06/06/2008, -8/+45only $7500 per person
or rather 5000 euros per person
c'mon north korea, sudan, other 3rd world countries, cough it up! - EvilCapitalist, on 06/06/2008, -29/+62What the liberals couldn't steal through confiscatory taxes, they'll rob through catastrophically ruinous regulations.
- bmac1009, on 06/06/2008, -28/+57"That would be an investment more than three times the current size of the entire U.S. economy."
This is a joke, just like man-made global warming - BigManOnCampus, on 06/06/2008, -13/+39That's a helluva price-tag for something that cannot guarantee results.
You want to save the world from potential catastrophic climate changes? Give me the 45 trillion, and I'll build you bunker seed banks spread out throughout the globe. I'll build you new irrigation and all-weather farming systems, and research home energy production solutions that will enable the survival of mankind through whatever direction climate takes.
In other words, ****** THAT*, An ounce of adaptation is worth a ton of bureaucrat-delivered "salvation". - kingygk, on 06/06/2008, -15/+40This is one reason why we should vote the democrats out of congress in 2010. We cant afford to fix the worlds problems!!!
- Charlotte_Web, on 06/06/2008, -11/+35While I also believe man-made global warming, the initiative has some goals that I can definitely agree with, such as, "build some 1,400 nuclear power plants".
Congress needs to clear the books of much anti-nuclear legislation, which has driven the cost of nuclear power sky-high. However, I fear that, if Obama becomes president and the Democrats retain control of Congress, this will never happen.
Nuclear is the new green. - Kanuhduh, on 06/06/2008, -6/+27Let me pull out my checkbook..
- Charlotte_Web, on 06/06/2008, -15/+35sorry, meant to say that I believe man-made global warming is a fallacy.
- zacharytelschow, on 06/06/2008, -22/+40Global warming is a sham.
- cowsgonemadd3, on 06/06/2008, -9/+27Tell the environmentalists to either not use power or shut up.....There are more than enough seaguls on this planet. Just ask any fisherman....
- ozymandias2012, on 06/06/2008, -8/+25This article is misleading, it should read "America will need to invest $45 trillion" not the world.
- rebump, on 06/06/2008, -1/+17Wait. Bran is bad for you now??
- bmac1009, on 06/06/2008, -6/+20It's all about hype. Not too long ago the world was going to freeze. Worse yet, now there are trillions of dollars at stake and hippies around the world are uniting.
- dan.stryker, on 06/06/2008, -17/+31Tax all obama supporters, make them pay for it!
- abran1984, on 06/06/2008, -14/+28Wow, so how many people are going to get wealthy from that windfall?
Who pays for all this *****? We do. Hell no - ExGhost, on 06/06/2008, -6/+19Isn't that why global warming was invented?
- 9bpm9, on 06/06/2008, -0/+12Yeah, the nation that isn't even leading the world in pollution anymore should be the only one to do this. Smart.
- ghank, on 06/06/2008, -10/+22Even if Global warming is a "sham" WHO THE ***** CARES? Pumping trillions of tons of poisonous and toxic chemicals into the air and water is a ***** BAD IDEA. I don't give a rats ass what the temperature outside is, I just want to have clean air to breathe, and water that doesn't smell like ass. Clean energy should be our #1 priority, but unfortunately it all comes down to "who's gunna pay the bill"?
- brstilson, on 06/06/2008, -1/+12I believe the new comment system allows you to undo a digg or bury.
- Teku, on 06/06/2008, -6/+17Well, do you suppose the jobless environmentalist bums could front us the money?
- KMye, on 06/06/2008, -2/+12Time to invest in uranium...
- ExGhost, on 06/06/2008, -7/+17So we can all starve, but at least the environment will be fixed!!
- EvilCapitalist, on 06/06/2008, -9/+19Don't you get it? That's exactly the point! Whatever it takes to undo the most successful experiment in governance in history... the goal of the modern liberal.
- jerwin, on 06/06/2008, -0/+10No, it's OK now, I just checked. Earlier this morning it was bad for you. Last night it was one of the causes of global warming, turns out that was just a typo.
- inactive, on 06/06/2008, -1/+10Curses foiled again, I'll get you and your little dog too!
It's okay to steal money, as long as it's for a "good cause". - inactive, on 06/06/2008, -2/+10Wait, you cant submit that URL, but we get 15 huffingtonspam stories a day? What the *****?
- DavidJustus, on 06/06/2008, -1/+9Where have you guys been while digg was being taken over by said liberals?
- coldkodiak, on 06/06/2008, -2/+10Digg is full of armchair scientists today...
- inactive, on 06/06/2008, -6/+14ok, so that is more money than exists in the world, who is it to be paid to? What happens to the rest of the world when that is paid to a small group and everyone else is poor? Wouldnt that demand a socialist government, in charge of everything because no one can afford to do anything on their own?
- pintomp3, on 06/06/2008, -4/+12fine, as long as all mccain supporters are taxed for the war.
- drmangrum, on 06/06/2008, -2/+10I'm all for investing in green energy, but throwing out a number like 45 trillion seems like it was drawn out of thin air. The fact they are using global warming as their trigger word makes this seem even more suspect. Looks more like the alarmists are trying to get more money.
- inactive, on 06/06/2008, -4/+12Don't worry, they don't need your cooperation, they're just going to take it by force, they'll have committees and ***** to make it official, so they can pretend they're not just your everyday muggers.
- drmangrum, on 06/06/2008, -11/+18It is a scam. For every scientist that says humans are the sole cause of climate change there is one willing to refute it. There is no smoking gun. Never was. The entire fiasco start when a politician got a piece of the puzzle and ran with it before the he saw the complete picture.
Fact: The earth goes through heating and cooling cycles.
The only evidence to support man-made global warming is correlated data. As has been said MANY times on Digg, Correlation != Causation. - tiger32kw, on 06/06/2008, -1/+8Yea ***** Seagulls... Flying Rats
- itstodd, on 06/06/2008, -6/+13no, its not about the money....
- inactive, on 06/06/2008, -1/+8It's always about the money.
- inigomntoya, on 06/06/2008, -0/+7I don't know what it is, but something about food with artificial coloring just makes it taste that much better!
- inactive, on 06/06/2008, -5/+12LOL! You are right! You can't even submit that URL!
Digg diggs GW alarmists only. - Proletariat, on 06/06/2008, -0/+7you forgot coloring dye in food. we're supposed to be afraid of that too.
- apackofmonkeys, on 06/06/2008, -14/+20And unfortunately, this church of the Earth is mixed very heavily with the state. We must follow blindly what the "priests" (Al Gore, etc.) tell us to do and give them more and more money to take away our guilt and "save" us.
- crazyjake, on 06/06/2008, -0/+6Racist troll is a racist!
- villavicencio, on 06/06/2008, -1/+7Everyone here seem so adamant that global warming is a hoax... I think most people here are making good points but can someone with reputable knowledge of the science behind this explain to me what exactly happens to the large concentrations of carbon we pump back into the atmosphere? From a common sense point of view it doesn't seem like we're doing the planet any favors.
- gordeaoux, on 06/06/2008, -4/+10It simply isn't true that the only evidence to support man-made global warming is correlated data. The fact is that all other known causes have been eliminated as the sole driving factor for the current warming. When you say you don't believe in global warming, you are saying that NASA doesn't know how to read a thermometer.

And I'd be interested in seeing all the scientists willing to refute global warming. - inactive, on 06/06/2008, -3/+9That's scary logic man. The same kind that lets politicians sleep at night who raid homes without warrants, wiretap innocent civilians' homes, and hold "terrorists" without trial.
If you knew that wiretapping, water boarding, and not wasting time with warrants before arrests could reduce the chances of a second 9/11 by 50%, what kind of actions and policies would a truly altruistic person take?
The ends DO NOT justify the means my friend. - JFreedomseed, on 06/06/2008, -12/+18None of this has anything to do with global warming. There are plenty of scientists out there and plenty of scientific data to refute this whole "crisis." Perhaps there is some warming, but this is just another cycle similar to those which have been experienced many many times in the past (including our own lifetimes). I've seen several studies which suggest we're actually cooling.
What this really is is a an attempt at global governance. Government wants to be in charge of everything, and what better way to get people to give up their liberties than to create crisis after crisis. Terrorism, global warming, famine, etc. The news media's job is to keep us all scared so we'll gladly give up our freedoms to let government take care of the latest crisis.
Those who give up a little liberty to gain a little security don't deserve either one.
To see the other side of the "global warming" issue, visit the Freedom Force International website. - danfive555, on 06/06/2008, -1/+6Obama supporters are either on parole or plain broke. They think money is paper that is simply denied to them by an unjust system.
- nbyn, on 06/06/2008, -0/+5Ha! Joke's on them - $45 Trillion? in 2050 dollars, that's like $1 million in today's money.
Just put it on my tab my good man! -
