I think this is the most absurd thing I have ever read.

So spending about 1% of the governments absurd budget to spread scientific truth instead of mass panic. No matter what you think about CO2 and warming, the truth is that the public's perception of its scale has been massively distorted. We are looking at (at most) 2-3C increase in temperature over the next century. People think that it is 2-3C over the next decade.

The hate directed at Exxon for giving small numbers of funds amounts to restricting their freedom of speech. The fact that Holdren said it makes it an unconstitutional threat!

WHO should be put on trial are the Democrat-congressmen that have [for supposedly environmental reasons] prevented the oil companies from drilling the substantial oil reserves off the shores of our Gulf Coast [and probably the east/west coasts as well], thereby supplying this country with oil supplies that would have prevented the recent explosion of gasoline/fuel prices. Exxon, Shell, BP, Chevron,etc are forced to drill/produce oil in the Middle East because of this, which provides wealth to these countries and also allows the funding by their leaders of the radical Muslim terrorists among their populations [its not poverty and America's military actions within these countries, but our Democrat congressmen, that cause this radicalism]. It's not only the current group of liberal Democrats administrators that are ruining this country, but their predessors that have prevented our development of our domestic oil supplies, as well. In leau of prosecuting them, the simple answer would be for Americans to simply defeat/not elect them!!!!!!!!!!
