Global warming: is it daylight savings or a liberal Congress plot?

It is letters to the editor like this one that give DeSmogBlog writers and researchers the resolve to push on.
What's next?

The global warming is all due

The global warming is all due to the increase in vehicles and the population. Regards, casino online

I lived in Arkansas too. This lady is definitely "top of the shit pile". She figured out how to send a letter! Also a very good example of the ignorance that still exists in America. http://www.technology-blog.com/

In my sense, this is an issue of science here; until you present some evidence that this was indeed written as a joke, it is not unreasonnable to conclude that this is a manifestation. Regards,

Incredible

Can you enviro-diddlers actually be this dense? The letter is pretty obviously written as a joke.

If that was all it took to give you "the resolve to push on", we'd really love to know what would finally give you the resolve to push off?

Can you enviro-diddlers

Can you enviro-diddlers actually be this dense? The letter is pretty obviously written as a joke. This is an issue of science here; until you present some evidence that this was indeed written as a joke, it is not unreasonnable to conclude that this is a manifestation of the inability of some people to understand basic science, which is common among GW deniers. That you assert something without evidence is, in fact, another example of this phenomenon. Thank you for illustrating it so vividly.

Wheter it was tongue in cheek dosn't matter

    It appeared in a newspaper and with all of the misinformation out there (thanks to energy-funded think tanks etc.) this letter will be read and will add to that misinformation. Letters to the editor are a very well-read section of the newspaper and do influence readers opinions.

Satire, I think

It looks to me like a clever satire of the way rightwing deniers often think. They argue that the growing concern over anthropogenic global warming is really just part of a socialist plot. After all, Mars has global warming too, you know!

Tongue in cheek?

I don't think it was. Fabulous play on words by the way "push on" "push off." Brilliant. If you don't like what we write, don't visit our site. 

re: Density



Q.E.D.

Truly astounding.

Thanks for the laugh. "...an

Thanks for the laugh. "...an extra hour of daylight." Oh my gawd, how can people really be this stupid.

I hear you

Like I said, we have a long ways to go. There's a lot of misperceptions outthere.

Speaking of stupid ...

Um, I guess you didn't notice that letter was tongue-in-cheek.

No. I guess you didn't.

About the climate cover-up

About the climate cover-up

Democracy is utterly dependant upon an electorate that is accurately informed. In promoting climate change denial (and often denying their responsibility for doing so) industry has done more than endanger the environment. It has undermined democracy.

There is a vast difference between putting forth a point of view, honestly held, and intentionally sowing the seeds of confusion. Free speech does not include the right to deceive. Deception is not a point of view. And the right to disagree does not include a right to intentionally subvert the public awareness.

Although all public relations professionals are bound by a duty to not knowingly mislead the public, some have executed comprehensive campaigns of misinformation on behalf of industry clients on issues ranging from tobacco and asbestos to seat belts.

Lately, these fringe players have turned their efforts to creating confusion about climate change. This PR campaign could not be accomplished without the compliance of media as well as the assent and participation of leaders in government and business.
