There is a much stronger correlation between those whose profit by millions and billions in fossil fuels and research that tends to cast doubt on the consensus of 98% of climate scientists. Let's put them on a scale - Multibillion dollar multinational corporations vs. a grant-funded scientists and the supposed desire of some environmentalist cabal to derail capitalism itself. Climate denial is nothing more than conservative/republican propaganda and the emperor is looking more naked every day.

I find there is a direct correlation between grant writing in the scientific community, and desire to tax on the government side, and the findings of global warming. Some simple touch points are: 1) There has been no global "warming" since 1996 and even that data was questionable. 2) The warmest periods we have been able to establish through tree ring study was during the renesance period (which pre-dates the industrial revolution).

Bottom line, "man made" global warming is nothing more than liberal/progressive propaganda. There will always be global warming and colling (or climate change if you like). Much to the disatisfaction of the liberal/progressive movements, man has no control over this.

It has made Al Gore a boat load of money though. He ironically just sold his failed Current TV to Al Jazeera in Quatar (which ironically is a county that survives off fossil fuel production.

As if the bought and paid for schill of the coal burning power industry expects us to believe he'll take the environment seriously. Putting a climate change skeptic in charge of DENR is a bad sign. If you trust the environment with this administration/GA I have a Superfund site to sell you.

The bottom line is that there are danger signs with the environment everywhere you look. All one needs to do is read reputable sources to realize that we are on a fine line before causing permanent damage that will cost millions. However, North Carolina elected them, we need to honor the commitment to business at the expense of the environment until a hard lesson is learned.

Who is Governor-elect McCrory kidding. The only environment he is going to protect is perhaps his own in the Governors Mansion. His election was businesses dream come true! With the help of the Republican controlled General Assembly DENR will likely not have enough funding to protect the environment in the buildings they operate out of. Make no mistake promoting business and industry in NC and protecting the environment in the State aren't necessarily compatible.

OK His business of "wetlands restoration" which pockets him a lot of money is necessary. But he thinks oil is a infinite resource? Then he talks about "science". I hope voters correct this in the legislature next election.

"NO ENVIRONMENT----------NO ECONOMY words to live by."

But who to trust? Someone who cries about oil money hurting his cause while he sells for his TV station to another TV station owned by people who got rich by oil money. Someone who tells us live sustainable while he flies around the country selling his book? Someone who refuses to comply with the Freedom of Information Act regarding his taxpayer funded scientific work? All of these apply to people who are pro-global warming. I'd trust a thief with my life savings before I trust an environmentalist with the truth.

NO ENVIRONMENT----------NO ECONOMY words to live by.
