Russia’s Putin Says Global Warming Is ‘A Fraud’

[Damajin]

Good for him for speaking the truth.

Well, I guess we now have to say that this is now a settled debate everywhere but in the GOP and Putin's Russia.

Nice try Russia. No, you can't have a tropical climate.

A country leader thinks about the good of his country... shocking.

Putin is rough and there is plenty of corruption going on there, but in the end he does work towards making Russia a powerful and wealthy country again by any means necessary.

The fact that he does not have to appease all kinds of political clowns all around empowers him a lot. Yes it's not democracy, but well Russia is not North Korea either, overall Russians got a good deal with him at helm, that is why his ratings are so good - it is pretty genuine, even with media brainwashing going on.

Since there is media brainwashing going on, how would you tell if it wasn't?

Back in the 80s people were worried about the next ice age, and it was very imminent - if you listened to the scientists.

That didn't pan out to well.

negative, as somebody that was alive and old enough to remember there was commercials talking about global warming even then. Walter Cronkite did many. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MU9s0XyEctI

What? Climate scientists have been chirping about Global Warming since the mid 60s. Where in the world do you get your news - infowars.com?

OK. Guys. Look. This is looking good. Truly great. Let's list what's happened this year:

1) The Pope, not only the religious leader of the Catholic Church but also an institution admired by many protestant Christians as well, states that it is the duty of humanity to combat climate change.
2) The President of Russia, the nemesis of the United States of America, states that climate change is a fraud.

What does this mean? It's obvious, is it not?

The religiously conservative and anti-Russian patriotic Republicans is now pretty much GUARANTEED to shift their position at any second now because of these things! With all of America getting behind leading the way for innovation and investment in green technologies we are bound to be able to abandon fossil fuels very soon!

Rejoice!

Putin is a republican?!

Looks like the Republicans finally have a foreign ally.
