Jerry Brown launches website to rebut climate change skeptics

Gov. Jerry Brown said today that "humanity is getting dangerously close to the point of no return" on climate change, and he launched a website criticizing conservatives who dispute its significance.

The website "Climate Change: Just the Facts," is hosted by Brown's Office of Planning and Research. It devotes one page to "the denialists" and another to rebutting "common denialist arguments."

... "Global warming's impact on Lake Tahoe is well documented. It is just one example of how, after decades of pumping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, humanity is getting dangerously close to the point of no return," Brown said in a prepared statement. "Those who still deny global warming's existence should wake up and honestly face the facts."

2. Oh, yeah. I remember the last time he ran for prez he saved $$ by staying at

people's homes across America. 99%er people. I found that amazing.

4. I hope he fixes as much as he can.

Arnold did an amazing amount of damage when he was in charge.

7. And Pete Wilson before Grey Davis, who handed him a giant

mess, Arnold said he would fix.

12. That's our governor-- what a contrast between him and AhNo

We know Jerry has our best interests in mind.

5. Good for Jerry, but we are already past the point of no return.

Tragic but true.

6. after decades of pumping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere,

Decades?

How about centuries. I mean the industrial revolution starts at the end of the 18th century.... thru the 19th and 20th centuries....

8. I believe he meant "decades even after we knew it was dangerous"

to the survival of most life on the planet"

9. re:Jerry Brown launches website to rebut climate change skeptics

had a friend where i volunteered at . wed have conversations daily on current events and wed talk about computers every five years. my friend and i talked about global warming ( climate change) . my friend stated 5 years ago when he was still there that we were on the point of no return. i miss my friend . if al gore were elected in stead of that fellow via the us supreme court , things would be different today.

10. The best way to rebut the skeptics

is to expose the financial interest in their skepticism.
