Studies NOT conducted by TransCanada, the company wanting to build the Keystone XL oil pipeline Republicans in Congress have pushed through for expedited review with a payroll tax cut bill, show that the climate-change-disaster-of-a-project would create between 5000 and 6000 temporary jobs (State Department Study) or only 500 to 1,400 temporary jobs but that the long-term result could be that it would actually COST the U.S. jobs, meaning, take jobs away from us (Cornell).

    No, actually, it’s the global warming deniers who are alos most likely to deny evolution — look it up.

    No, it’s not just correlation. There are over 10 lines of evidence that cause-and-effect relationships are happening. There is over a century of research on the matter, using nearly every scientific method out there. And they all point to the same outcome.

    There’s a reason just about every overarching scientific body in the world has come to the conclusion that humans are warming the globe to a concerning degree.

    It’s not about scaring kids, buddy, it’s about leaving them and their kids a livable world.

    Also, there is no “majority of former believers” — the majority of people believe what I just wrote above, and the percentages have actually increased this year in the U.S. (and, most likely, around the world.)
