- During what Sen. Bernie Sanders called an Alice in Wonderland hearing, Senate environment committee Republicans on Thursday contradicted or ignored the near-unanimous consensus by climate scientists that global warming is real and man-made.
With Vermont and most of the country in the grip of another summer heat wave, Republicans on the Senate environment committee repeatedly tried to cast doubt on whether climate change is even occurring, let alone what should be done about it. They ignored a NASA report that last month was the second warmest June in recorded history. The ignored a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration report that 2012 was the hottest year on record in the United States.

Hey Senator, science is not based on consensus. Its based on fact. The problem is there are facts coming out that challenge even refute the Global Climate Change crap. The very fact that the planet is not heating up, the very fact that science has proven that the Sun has far more effect and affect on our climate and weather is proof that man is not the major cause of climate change. We also know that the planet has been warmer and colder during the history of man. Not to mention there was a rather lengthy report a couple of years ago that stated that we could stop polluting 100% today and it would not change the course of climate change for at least the next 200 years. Oh and that report came from the UN and they are also big Man Made Global Warming supporters as well. And lets not forget that China and India contribute far more than the USA and yet they are often left out of climate change debates. So Republicans are right to challenge your consensus.
What is fact but something that can be twisted over onto itself to cause doubt and swing votes.
Rod Eccles Effect *and* affect? Sounds serious. Tell me more.
Would you rather have a Kurt Cobain hearing? Double up on your exports of coal to China and shoot the economy in the ear accomplishing nothing but suicide
_The problem is there are facts coming out that challenge even refute the Global Climate Change crap._
"Facts" which have been shown to be bogus.
_The very fact that the planet is not heating up,_
It _is_ heating up. It can just be made to _look_ like it's not if you, say, ignore the heat in the oceans.
_the very fact that science has proven that the Sun has far more effect and affect on our climate and weather is proof that man is not the major cause of climate change._
Actually the proof shows that the Sun isn't that big of a factor. After all, the other planets in the Solar System aren't experiencing nearly the same degree of warming as Earth.
_We also know that the planet has been warmer and colder during the history of man._
Which tells you nothing. That's like pointing out the sky has been brighter and darker.
_Not to mention there was a rather lengthy report a couple of years ago that stated that we could stop polluting 100% today and it would not change the course of climate change for at least the next 200 years._
Maybe not the course, but definitely the magnitude. Anyway, this is an argument of fatalism.
_And lets not forget that China and India contribute far more than the USA and yet they are often left out of climate change debates._
No, we've been including them in the debates. It's things like the Kyoto Protocol they got themselves removed from. And why shouldn't they? We're bearing the costs of their pollution.
Hey Bernie, our planet goes through cycles of warm and cold. We are in a warm cycle. Wrap your brain around the truth.
Solar maximum and solar minimum
Alice in Wonderland? Looking Glass? Aight bernie, thanks for the confirmation :)
Are you sure warmer temperatures doesn't result in longer growing seasons and therefore a more abundant food supply?
Let me ask you this, would you prefer global cooling?
Mr Sanders is a prime example why there need to be age and term limits for both houses.
Agreed! We are seeing the effects of his nonsense now:/ smh.
You are stupid.
"EAT THE RICH!" Who exactly are the rich? Exactly how much money does one need in order to become "rich?"
Make the better options available.
Make plastic bottles be biodegradable.
Make the energy options affordable for people.
Programs that make way for the efficiency of energy.
There are Soo many energy patents that are withheld by the government. Our government should be the coolest thing in the Galaxy. Our kids should be safe n not kidnapped n terrible things done to them. All the kids on the planet should be cared for n have food. People should be able to find a job that they can do that makes sense financially. The cost of living should make sense...
Housing should be something affordable. There should be programs out the wazoo available and social workers.. greenhouse programs in the communities.
Transportation programs...
Invention programs!!! We have to make the system make sense.
No one is a throwaway person
Neither is the planet.
Thankyou Bernie for saying how you feel. I agree with you.
It would be nice to see systems work n make sense. To employ technologies and compassion both would be a dream come true wouldn't it.
End lobbying and limit campaign donations to 5$ per person
Not really. Scientists have been warning about the environment since the 1950s. They just haven't been taken seriously as big business kept shouting them down.
Ever since the 1950s-60s the "scientists" have told us that we only have 8 years left ...
In each decade they come up with another scare about the end of the world in 8 years...
And of course it's _man made_
Even here in 2022 they keep telling us the same fairy tales.
Well people like Al Gore got very rich and got private plan and yacht now...
Even the "climate zar" John Kerry comes from a home with 12 houses, two yachts, planes and a fleet of cars...

Finally, contrast egoism with narcissism. Narcissism is more of a psychological pathology, than an ethical doctrine, but narcissism is ersatz egoism. It's what Ayn Rand called: selfishness without a self. Narcissists attempt to get their self esteem, not from their own accomplishments, but from praise, admiration and approval of others. But self esteem is necessarily self-generated. Narcissists have no self esteem, so they need to get their self esteem from others.
You make up 50% of the comments on this video, talking about narcissism and egotism. Video is about global warming and how we should stop it, yet on one of your comments you claim to want warmer weather because you like it, not thinking of the consequences... 10 years later, that weather has been more destructive than ever as many people die from fires, floods and earth quakes this entire summer.
Sir, I don't think you get to have say in eco matters nor ego matters. The only humble thing you can do at this point is bend your head in shame and remove all the comments you left under this video 😂
God,"the Earth will tremble and travail at the coming of the Lord"
Devil,"climate change"
Don't Ever Let "PEOPLE" like Mr Sanders Speak 4 U Or Do your Thinking 4 U , in , Most Politicians Crave Power , And Worship , Public Servants , Not Gods , They R ,
This is a case of simple context dropping. Egoism is about taking actions to preserve and acquire values. Other people are/can be of value to you. There is nothing unselfish about caring for your children/family/friends/loved ones, because they are YOUR values.
"We need to leave them a livable planet." Life expectancy is the highest it's ever been in human history. By that standard alone, I'm not sure how you derive the notion that the planet is less livable than it used to be. Continued...
"Don't kill the planet." How exactly does one "kill the planet?" The planet isn't going anywhere.
Howard Roark represents the ultimate embodiment of individualism and first handed living.
"Sorry. I don't believe I've ever heard of solipsism." Somehow that doesn't surprise me, given your level of philosophic sophistication.
Solipsism is the philosophic doctrine which claims that nothing that exists outside one's consciousness can truly be known to exist. Ethical solipsism is essentially: "I'm the only one who exists, therefore nothing and no one else is/can be important." Continued...
"So does life go on even if you don't?" Mine doesn't, but life, in general, does.
"According t0 you...Who care?!!" Clean up that sentence.
"I got mine..."
Please get on with it. Define your code of morality. So far, all you've put forth is:"If you don't know, there's nothing I can say that is going to help..." But how do YOU know if something is moral or not? What is your justification of your moral positions?
Yes. Not to mention attacking womens rights, civil rights, and then voting rights to protect their unpopular ideas with gerrymandering and voter suppression.
1) Argumentum ad Populum Fallacy
2) You're comparing a novelist and an architect
3) "He was a lot more popular than she was!" So what?
Says the woman who spells "spell" without the s.
Says the woman who spells Hillary, "Hillery."
No one in the world denies climate change. Climate has been changing for billions of years, it will continue to change for billions of years. We live on a dynamic planet where climate and weather systems are always in a state of flux.
We love you senator sanders.
Maybe We Should Stop Manmade Weather Control and Let Mother Earth Heal itself
Hello. Instead of the US is other countries that are moving to renewable energy.
If we don't get real on climate we won't have any grandchildren to blame us for our idiocy. Bernie is one of the few sane members of the senate.
I thought that the electric energy in hybrid vehicles is produced by the wheels as they are turned by the internal combustion motor, which functions as a generator, converting energy normally wasted during coasting and braking into electricity, which is stored in a battery until needed by the electric motor.

Contrast solipsism with egoism. Egoism claims that the proper beneficiary of the consequences of one's actions is ones self. Essentially, egoism claims that if you do something, then you are responsible for that action. Therefore, if you do something that results in value, you should receive the rewards of that action, however, if you commit an evil action, then you bear the cost of it. Continued...
So he is to blame for this fear mongering and smart city 😂
Don't wanna get taxed? Don't kill the planet.
Starting to pan out now. Good call.
"Socialized medicine works quite well." To what end and by what means, though?
"Medicare works." For whom? For what purpose? At whose expense?
"I know who you are." I'll be whoever you want me to be...
"You want every social safety net to go away." No, only ones that are mandated by law. Insurance is an example of a "social safety net" that's voluntary.

Dumb
"people that have more than they need." How much money is the maximum that a person should have, do you think?
Your speech just raised your carbon footprint Bernard. Pfttttt....
Three families of ethics.
1) Deontology
2) Virtue Ethics
3) Consequentialism
The reality is if it does......"trillions?"...thats the question...for its easier for a camel go through a needles eye than a rich man...
Please tell me what the common good is. How do you know what's in the best interests of others?
Exactly what is immoral about selfishness?
I'm confused - my Tea Party neighbor sneers at me and calls me a 'sheeple' for believing this "Libtard Conspiracy".
"I believe it's Egotism." Your question was: "Who does Howard Roark represent?", not "What does Howard Roark represent.
I don't believe Ayn Rand was ever opposed to charity, benevolence, kindness or empathy. If you disagree, feel free to provide a direct quote to support your claim.
You seem to be under the mistaken impression that I am Republican. I most certainly am not, nor am I a Libertarian.
If I remember right no doctors chose to retire early when medicare was implemented.
dont be so sure. it always takes near destruction for us to make change.
"No. There is no similarity between Roark and Mr. Wright as far as personal life, character and basic philosophy are concerned. The only parallel which may be drawn between them is purely architectural--that is, in regard to their stand on modern architecture." Ayn Rand, Letters of Ayn Rand p. 468.
Liar.
Can't hear it.
Who said anything about Obamacare? You really should, oh I don't know, check your premises.
It's moving in the right direction.
1) Howard Roark is a total red herring.
2) Besides, I've already told you. Howard Roak is Ayn Rand's, idealized hero that represents individualism, integrity and rationality.
3) You still haven't explained what it is that makes something moral or immoral.
"Shouldn't we leave them a livable planet?" By all objective evidence, life expectancy keeps going up, up and up. In other words, life has never been better for humans on this planet.
"Tell me how a Randian helps the poor." Who exactly are "the poor?"
How much money do you have to have before you're not poor?
Why is helping the "poor" so important?
Who has the cube..?
he called it; “it’s man made” made by those who claim to actively protect it
Exactly!! Oh it’s man made alright!!! Lol.. what’s in the communist manifesto? Create the problem then offer the solution.” Which translates to “screw the populace, line our pockets, gain control” it’s an insidious deliberate method to bilk the world. Look at how many bought this crap. Omgosh… and look where we are today:(
Buy electric cars, people!
Bernie it’s a pole shift it happens every 2600yrs bruh

"Do you have any idea why these programs came into existence in the first place?"
1) Politicians were able to garner votes by wooing people with entitlements.
2) Politicians were cashing in on the altruistic creed that "I am my brother's keeper."
Ayn Rand is totally opposed to altruism as am I. What do you think about that? Being against altruism?
I'll tell you what. There is a certain philosopher that I subscribe to. If you want to know who this person is, Google search the words: "check your premises." You will find out that SHE endorsed neither religion, nor conservativsm, nor libertarianism. Go ahead, Google search to find out who this mystery person is.
"No, I'm actually more interested in the common good." Which is why you spend all your time on UA-cam comment threads, instead of out helping the needy right?
"Take advantage of the Northwest passage." I never made such a claim, did I?
As I said, I don't deny that the climate changes.
"Ever heard of Orwell?" Yes, now please explain what Howard Roark has to do with Orwell, or anything else for that matter?
Roark. I know that name.
And he is the one not living in the real world.
I'm afraid that's not a legitimate philosophical argument. What you just said is what Christians say about believing in God on faith: "To those who understand, no explanation is necessary. To those who don't, none is possible." That's exactly what your comment amounts to: "I don't need to prove or explain why selfishness is immoral. I mean, it's not like we need to validate our philosophical positions or anything."
What does that accomplish? Where does your electricity come from?
Why not mention Nuclear?
Hell yes. Or Warren/Sanders.
How does the character of Howard Roark in anyway resemble FLR, besides the fact that they are both architects?
Notice how you still haven't explained your position on morality yet. In fact, let's tally up the score, shall we?
1) Strawman misrepresentation of Objectivism
2) Red Herring Fallacy
3) No argument to support your moral claims.
4) Neither heard of solipsism nor understood the distinction between solipsism and egoism.
5) Claims HR is based on FLR--no argument to support.
thanks to tv, soccer, football, amongst others.
"Basically, it means you don't give a shit about anyone else." No, that would be solipsism, not egoism/selfishness.
But why is not giving a shit about anybody else immoral?
It would be stronger
As far as I can tell, industrialization has been a tremendous blessing for humans. We live longer, happier and healthier because of fossil fuels. You wouldn't even be responding to me without fossil fuels. You should check your premises. BTW you keep wondering where I get my ideas, if I'm paid or not. Well I do subscribe to a particular philosophy, and that philosopher frequently said: "Check your premises." Google search that to find out which philosopher.
Yes. But it hasn't happened artificially until now.
go bernie!
Hear hear!
CLIMATE CULT
This worms will never stop lying
You made the claim about electric vehicles vs petrol vehicles, Did my use of the word car instead of vehicle confuse you?
Google: "Bjorn Lomborg: Green Cars Have a Dirty Little Secret" and all your questions will be answered.
Are you still thinking new world order is a conspiracy theory?
@UA-cam I know you can read this. Please make this video easier to find. 🤫
8 years ago 😳
"Turns out you can't do that." Can't do what?
bravo
"You know, I kinda used to believe in Solipsism."
So, you learned a new vocabulary word today. Congratulations, you're getting smarter by the minute, and it's all thanks to Yours Truly.
Any more pearls of searing insight you'd like to share with me? Perhaps you'd like to get back to explaining to me why egoism/selfishness is immoral. In fact, why don't you tell me what it is that makes something/anything moral or immoral.
Amen Bernie.
The north pole is now a 1 foot deep lake as of July 22, 2013.

Connor Brady say Goodbye to your insulting comment!
Connor Brady
Strike two your post has been deleted again!
If you want to argue any of my points; Fine you must be respectful, but if you want to just attack , call names, insult and act like a child you shouo expect your comments to be deleted. You can start with my post pertaining to Sanders, and not a satirical/rhetorical/benign post from over a year and a half ago isn't up for debate. Politicians are free game to be mocked as they are public figures.
Ad hominem attacks are not productive. I will delete any such attack. If you have a point to make make , then make a point. I'm calling you out for attacking rather than debating YOUR position or any position!
However you choose to make it personal against me, then you've lost, you post deleted, and you are ridiculed for lack of your ability to convey a difference of opinion without resorting to insults. Any comment you make that isn't an attack, but rather an open exchange of ideas, rather I agree with them or not won't be deleted, make insulting ad hominem attacks within the comment against me, and it will still be deleted. Debate the issues, not your emotions against those who have a difference of opinion!
Connor Brady you agin lose you poser loser.
I want global warming, because I like warmer weather.
Smart man..
"Pretty sure I know your philosophy 'I got mine, Fuck You!!'"
Then why did she call her philosophy Objectivism?
'I got mine, Fuck You!!" Really? I though her philosophy, was first and foremost about reason and objectivity.
Relevance?
Bernie Sanders in 2016
Like they say there are two kinds of Republicans, Millionaires and Suckers.
"More Randian bullshit." Actually, Virtue Ethics originated in Ancient Greece, Deontology mainly originated with Kant. Consequentialism has it's roots in Utilitarian philosophers such as John Stewart Mill and Jeremy Bentham. But I'm sure you already knew that.
You know, if you don't know what certain philosophic concepts are, you could always go to Wikipedia.
How's that working out for you guys today? This is why the west became dependant on Russian oil and this is why your seeing gas prices through the roof...congrats you got played.
"What's the minimum that a person should have?" Tell me what you think. Some people think $10 per hour. Others think $12 per hour. Where do you stand?
Getting back to my original question to you, beyond what amount of money do you think is excessive?
"Do you also believe that someone working at Walmart or McDonalds should not be paid a living wage?" I don't believe I ever said such a thing. Also, please define "living wage." Thanks.
Frank Lloyd Wright? Now kindly tell me what the f*** that has got to do with anything? Total red herring fallacy.
