> [@L. G. Butts](#): > > Oh please, [TreeHugger.com](http://TreeHugger.com)? CBS News (communist broadcasting service)? And last (and certainly least), Discover Magazine? Really, you expect me to believe Discover Magazine on this issue? These guys are on the climate change gravy train! Let me guess, next you will pull out _Science_ or _Nature_ and pretend like it is non-partisan on this issue. It’s only funny if you’re saying something people know you _don’t_ believe. Otherwise, you just suck at telling jokes. That last bears repeating: If you tell a joke, and nobody laughs, _you are the one who is stupid_. ---

My favorite part of this thread is CBS being renamed the ‘Communist Broadcasting System’. That was gold. ---

In the spirit of the OP: I had it with the scientists, and the people too! > **[Experts debunk polls claiming fewer Americans believe in climate change](https://grist.org/climate-change/2011-11-16-experts-debunk-polls-claiming-fewer-americans-believe-in-climate/)** > > Cross-posted from Climate Progress. Politicians, pundits, and the public have all been told by the media and others that public belief in global warming has dropped sharply. Except that it hasn’t, as polling by Stanford, Ipsos, and Reuters make... I mean, look at all that money that was wasted in propaganda and media that did look fairly and with balance to the issue! I pity the poor fossil fuel companies that have to face alone the forces of nature that are reacting to all the nice tons of CO2 that are being released! I’m afraid they will have to become [like the kings of very old that flogged the sea for not being nice!](http://public.wsu.edu/~wldciv/world_civ_reader/world_civ_reader_1/herodotus.html) However, I can see the problem on trying to flog the people and the atmosphere to make them comply.
