Just watching Bill Maher....

[blackspade]

His panel, a corporate apologist, a pollster fraud, and an ex governor were discussing climate change.

The corporate apologist blabbered about 'clean' coal, the pollster was a denier, and the most troubling, the ex-gov Schweitzer is a shill for the fraking industry. He is supposed to be a progressive, but his position on fraking is a fucking lie. Fraking is toxic to the environment from the collection to use of the natural gas in power plants. The methane waste releases alone double the greenhouse emissions. What a fraud. He is not a fit candidate for national office IMO.

1. Good points and

good that Maher has them on to get them on the record.

Not sure why Big Ed likes Schweitzer so much now that he's against the pipeline.

2. Schweitzer is the flavor of the month and is pushed widely by the fossil fuel industries.

He is friend of progressives or the environment. "Clean coal" and "clean burning natural gas" are just code words for "more money for us, less for you, suckers!"

3. Yeah..

I think I mentioned that a bunch of times a few months back when he was bad-mouthing the ACA. He's an officer in one of the mining/fracking outfits and wants everyone to think he's just a salt of the earth normal kind of guy from "out there" Montana.

Glad to see folks are smelling the stink on his BS.

4. That had to be one of the most bizarre panels ever!

I couldn't believe all three were sitting there making excuses or in denial about the causes.
