    Fascinating subject. Please provide links to supporting documents with
    complicated presentations like this. The nature of the beast (sic) is
    breathtaking, but this speech falls flat, probably because of the lack of
    audience to play to.
    Thank you for sharing. Please don’t stop telling us about it, but you might
    want to take some hints from Bernie Sanders on fire-breathing delivery.

    Great exposé of these sludge-pedalling criminals. We need reward money to
    get whistleblowers to come forward with the specific evidence of “quid pro
    quo”s: the favors done for bribes received. These scumbags make the Enron
    creeps look like angels.

    Fantastic and crystal clear speech! Its time to reel in the heads of the
    denial hydra and put them on trial for crimes against humanity.

    It is as plain as the Carbon pollution in your lungs ! So, Lets try some
    Biochar Sequestration payments to “offset the cost” of every ton of Carbon
    emissions in the Air !

    One person smoking in a room; 50 people smoking in a room; according to
    climate deniers there has been no change caused by people. 7,000.000,000
    people have and continue to have a major effect on this room we all live
    in, earth’s atmosphere.

    Denial that stops action IS a crime against humanity. It’s too bad they
    can’t go back in history and undo their years of obstruction. Instead
    they’ll go down in history as working against all Humanity. But it won’t
    matter, because by the end of this century life will be so desperate no one
    will have the leisure to look back at what led us there, at who was
    responsible for making sure we wrecked our own species’ existence. Sad.

    You want to find the beast, you need to look no further than the Koch
    brothers and the multitude of thinktanks they donate to. None of these
    think tanks do research, All they do is propagate disinformation.

    haha what a conspiracy nut. No amount of “lobbying” would make the air temp
    datasets show a ~15 ~17 ~12 year temperature slow-downs. I don’t like big
    energy companies but they don’t even have to create any denial.. data
    speaks for itself. Isn’t it cold enough for you USA?

    Thank you Congressman. It is astounding the lies and misdirection put into
    the denials for deception. But it is made easier by a population that wants
    to believe that they are not responsible for the problems they are helping
    to cause. It is tough to step up and admit that we are helping sink our
    own ship. That is always a hard sell.

    Funny how all this secret money that you cannot provide documentation for
    was able to prevent temps from climbing for the last 17 years.

    If you are not he most embarrassing Senator, you are certainly in the top
    3. You’re conspiracy ravings make you sound like a barking moonbat. How did
    you reach your present age without accidentally killing yourself?

    Whitehouse, say the same things about the foul “profession” of lawyering, &
    I’ll believe you.
    You have described lawyering in the video.
    “The only thing worse than a lawyer is a lawyer who becomes a judge.”
    “A judge is a whore become a madam.

    No warming for 18years…wow, the only lies are from the warmists, who are
    getting angry that their end of the world religion/money scam is being
    exposed by our stubborn climate, that refuses to follow their script of
    doom and hellfire! Morons…

    Whitehouse is a scumbag lawyerfish.
    HE knows that HIS corrupt extortion racket milks their own clients.
    He rose through the corrupt legal scam.
    HIS “profession” is the original distortion game.
    Here is is telling the truth, BUT WE CAN’T BELIEVE HIM BECAUSE HE IS A
    CAREERIST LAWYER.
    We are all dead from methane.
    Our lying species is finished.
