The day has come when Extreme Environmentalists have too much money, political power, and influence on common everyday people, and are out to direct society towards their objectives.

One example of Extreme Environmentalists advancing to manipulate modern society is below:

20160414_055942.jpg

Source: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/201...nmentalists-to-target-exxon-oil-industry.html


The science to support that Anthropologic released CO2 will cause greater than 1.2°C increase in Earth's global temperature has been shown over the past two decades to be non-emperical based. None of the scientists who proposed Catastrophic Anthropologic Global Warming seen the 18 year Pause coming, nor can they explain it.

Extremist Environmentalists have been "hiding" in the CAGW promotion and propaganda, and the present lawsuit confrontation with ExxonMobil is no different, as the Fox News article reveals.

Sooner or later we are all going to need to deal with Environmental Extremists. They have an agenda and are in action mode.

My only beef with your paranoid headline Hess, is why was it secret!?

I've been to anti-oil meetings, campaigns, strategies etc that are openly advertised! And I'm not a pagan-god worshipping mother-earth type!

The Lord our God built this earth for us, and we honour Him by lovingly tending His garden. He loves it. It's not ours to trash, it's His. I suggest you read your bible more, and try and be a bit more honest about what the science really says! (What is it with you geologists thinking you know more than modern climatologists? EG: Do you guys forget that most previous extinction level event seems to have been caused by massive climate shifts? That we're in a MORE dangerous situation now, because back then in dinosaur times and pre dinosaur geologic times, the SUN WAS COOLER!)

Nice bold font, Eclipse

Alarmists Scientists for decades have published that Catastrophic Anthropologic Global Warming requires a positive water vapor feedback for +2.0°C heating of Earth's atmosphere.

CO2 re-radiation forcing alone without the water vapor feedback will not cause Earth's atmosphere to warm above ~0.3 to 1.2°C.

No positive water vapor feedback has been observed, period. Look at the NOAA and NASA water vapor atmospheric databases. There's been no data and thereby no headlines for them to publish.

Extreme Environmentalists have no science to stand on in order to direct anyone to not use hydrocarbon fuels.

That is why they have went political and judicial.

People need to address the problem modern society has of Extreme Environmentalists.

I'm just being loud and being proud to show that most of us don't actually have to plot conspiracies: we're out in the open!

Because... the science. Nothing you state here contradicts the science with any credible evidence.

Extreme Environmentalists have no science to stand on in order to direct anyone to not use hydrocarbon fuels.
Rubbish!
It kills 3 million people a year.
It IS destabilising the climate.
It IS starting to peak and head into ever dirtier, harder to produce, dirtier to produce, less economical reserves.

That is why they have went political and judicial.
Try to think for a second! We're convinced that climate change and smog-killings and resource constraints are all brining the fossil fuel era to it's logical end, and the sooner the better. But big oil and gas sponsor lies and denialists, and people like you vote for politicians that are in on that game because it scratches your (for whatever reason!) itching ears.

People need to address the problem modern society has of Extreme Environmentalists.
The extremists are the corporations that want to change the atmospheric content of our planet, change the chemistry of our oceans, dump pollution into the air for free, kill 3 million people a year, and not plan for a future when we finally run out of this foul stuff! People need to address the fact that we've sold our democracy to the corporations, and now they just do what they want and kill as many people as they want without consequence!

The first part of your reply was removed. What remains above is 100% true.

No doubt todays Corporations are based on Radical Greedism

What you present couldn't be more true!

There are many current cases to follow in the news.

Corporations of our time are a rotten mess, with the top teir being self serving, full of the love of material gain.

There are now even "Activist Investors". Lookup in Reuters news what is currently happening to "ValueAct" Investments. They are getting sued by the Department of Justice - look up the reason and the long story. Greed at the highest Corporate participation level.

But to carry on would be a topic for another thread.

Have you got any evidence for that bold?

I know. Big Oil and Coal and Gas rule America and Australia.

There are many current cases to follow in the news.

It's too hard to keep up with! It's not just in the news, it's hitting the science journals!
In a related study, published last week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Farrell found that Exxon and Koch funding of climate-contrarian entities played a major role in polarizing public discussion of climate change over the past 20 years.​
The resulting public policy “climate wars” have helped hinder policies aimed at reining in greenhouse gas emissions.​

Exactly. Maybe if we just did what the French did and nationalised energy for a big roll out of nuclear we'd have healthier, cleaner cities, avoid the 3 million people dying a year, and avoid climate change and prepare for peak coal. (Those 4 points you just deleted and did not want to reply to).

There are now even "Activist Investors".
Yes, if the Koch brothers are the Activists, they're certainly investing! They even fund church denialist groups.

You've been had, and the foaming-at-the-mouth about environmental conspiracies certainly isn't helping your credibility.

Open a Corporation Greed thread up. It is deserving!
You didn't provide evidence of a Greenie conspiracy, and you didn't counter my evidence of a fossil fuel conspiracy to misinform the public. There is bad information out there. Greenpeace are misinformed. Anti-nuclear governments have an ineffective clean energy policy based on anti-nuclear paranoid. But I don't see that many 'conspiracies'. They're usually quite open about the fact that government policies are backing renewables, and Eco-Modernist climatologists like Dr James Hansen decry this as a waste of money! That's why I'm starting to believe Tom Blees when he says we should just nationalise energy to roll out nukes the way the French did.

Please do not judge an entire profession by the ramblings of a single, close minded individual. I am a geologist and - unsuprisingly - several of my colleagues are geologists. I don't know any who have serious reservations about AGW - that includes a significant number of those working in the oil and gas industry.

Sorry, it's just that Australia has the likes of Dr Ian Plimer and many scientists that deny climate seem to be geologists, but maybe I have anecdotally been explosed to an unusually high cluster of them. I value your posts Ophiolite.

No problem. Interesting link. I was not aware of him. I am also reminded that Carey, the last (?) serious proponent of Expanding Earth theory is also Australian. Perhaps it is a consequence of walking around upside down - the blood rushes to your head. :)

What, would that influence his beliefs? :oldthumbsup:

Plimer is the former non-executive director of CBH Resources Limited from 1998 to 2010, former non-executive director of Angel Mining plc from 2003 to 2005, former director of Kimberley Metals Limited from 2008 to 2009, former director of KBL Mining Limited from 2008 to 2009 and former director of Ormil Energy Limited from 2010 to 2011.[3][16]

He is currently the non-executive deputy chairman of KEFI Minerals since 2006,[17] independent non-executive director of Ivanhoe Australia Limited since 2007,[18] chairman of TNT Mines Limited since 2010,[11][19] non-executive director of Niuminco Group Limited (formerly DSF International Holdings Limited) since 2011,[20][21] and non-executive director of Silver City Minerals Limited since 2011.[3][16][22][23][24] Plimer was appointed director of Roy Hill Holdings and Queensland Coal Investments in 2012.[25]

According to a columnist in The Age, Plimer earned over $400,000 (AUD) from several of these companies, and he has mining shares and options worth hundreds of thousands of Australian dollars.[26] Plimer has stated that his business interests do not affect the independence of his beliefs.[22] He has also warned that the proposed Australian carbon-trading scheme could decimate the Australian mining industry.[6][27]

If it's untrue, I can only envision a net negative. I don't see how more expensive energy, unnecessary and harmful environmental regulations that disadvantage businesses, increased governmental power, and more unaccountable undemocratic global governance creates a better world.

Other countries that continue to burn fossil fuels will be at an advantage, and those who don't will find themselves wasting billions pumping into green subsidies to research some new clean green alternative that'll end up more expensive and won't produce as much energy. Ordinary people get hurt as they see their energy bills go up, while they are told it's all in the name of 'saving the planet'.
