Subject: RE: BS: It's global warming, stupid!
There are many corporate global warming deniers such as the Koch Brothers who have a greedy investment in oil and coal. The nuclear industry is attempting to say that they have a clean alternative which is a bogus claim.

There is tremendous opposition to Arctic drilling and the Keystone XL. This is very heartening.

This is an issue that many don't want to face but it is tied into economic factors like jobs and corporate profits. It's a larger issue than just coal and CO2 emissions because it involves the poisoning of groundwater through fracking and factory farming. All these issues add up to the planet being ruined by mankind's negligence and unwillingness to face the consequences of this behavior.

If this issue is buried by the media and ignored by the public, we as a planet are in for some rough times ahead.

Greenland's ice has practically been depleted. Water has gone into the ground and mixed with decaying underground vegetation which is producing gas that goes back into the atmosphere compounding the C02 problem.

An interesting book I would recommend is Bobby Kennedy Jr.'s "Crimes Against Nature".
