Comments on: Climate Deniers, both wrong and … http://greenfyre.wordpress.com/2009/08/25/climate-deniers-both-wrong-and/ "My heart is moved by all I cannot save" Thu, 23 May 2013 05:45:09 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: TrueSceptic http://greenfyre.wordpress.com/2009/08/25/climate-deniers-both-wrong-and/#comment-4511 Wed, 26 Aug 2009 14:46:57 +0000 http://greenfyre.wordpress.com/?p=4599#comment-4511 The “usual” lies of the deniers are annoying enough but I feel real anger when these right-wing (insert favourite word for worst possible human being) claim that AGW is a leftist plot to kill the poor, or at least to prevent them from climbing out of poverty.

Where have these creatures been all this time? Why haven’t they been helping the world’s poor for the last 10, 20, or 50 years? Why have they made every effort throughout history to maximise the wealth of those who already have most of it while opposing basic human rights? Why have they opposed every effort to prevent industry polluting the environment and poisoning (mostly poor) people? Why have they opposed every improvement in working conditions to protect profits at the cost of workers’ health? Where are all the power stations they could have built for the world’s most disadvantaged when CO2 wasn’t an issue? Where are all the “clean” power stations they could be building now?

Nice! No apologies or explanation necessary for quality content. For a moment I was going to slip it into the above post as an update, but it will fit better in another one I have coming up. Many thanks for that :-)
