Memo to Rachel Maddow: When Mother Jones says you're pulling stuff out of your rear end regarding the Koch Brothers, it's time to admit defeat and move on. Rachel Maddowâs come undone with Koch Derangement Syndrome Rachel Maddow went all in on blaming the Koch brothers for something they had nothing to do with, and she wonât issue a correction. http://legalinsurrection.com/2014/01/rachel-maddows-come-undone-with-koch-derangement-syndrome/
The Koch bros are good guys. The just want what's best for America. Profits and freedom from regulation is not really a concern of theirs. They represent all that is good about capitalism and the power of money in government. Have The Koch Brothers Changed Their Mind About Climate Change? By ELIZABETH FLOCK July 30, 2012 RSS Feed Print Oh, the irony, liberal news sites proclaimed. A University of California-Berkeley study on earth surface temperatures, financed in large part by Libertarian petrochemical billionaire Charles Koch's foundation, has found that global warming is indeed happening and that the emissions of greenhouse gases are truly caused by humans. [See: Latest political cartoons] Charles and his brother, David, have for years backed groups that produce studies denying the existence of climate change. And Greenpeace and other environmental groups have long accused them of having a "vested interest" in doing so. But some believe the Berkeley study shows the oil tycoons have turned a corner. University of California-Berkeley Physics professor Richard A. Muller, who led the new study, told Whispers that he believes the Koch brothers really do "want to get the science clarified." "People think they can look into the minds of Charles and David Koch," says Muller, who himself was previously a climate change denier. "But I have had conversations with them, where they are interested in the science and the proof, so that these issues [on climate change] would be resolved." The Koch brothers, who founded the conservative non-profit group Americans for Prosperity, previously supported the campaign of Herman Cain, who declared he didn't believe climate change was real. Earlier this month, however, David Koch held a campaign event for GOP candidate Mitt Romney, who has said he does believes climate change "is occurring." Elizabeth Muller, executive director of the Berkeley Earth Project, tells Whispers she too believes the Koch brothers are genuinely interested in the science. Muller points out that the Arlington, Va.-based foundation's $150,000 grant for the study was "unrestricted," and that the study's stated purpose was to "increase the transparency" of climate change studies. The proof will be in the pudding, however, if and when the Koch Foundation decides to support the second phase of the Berkeley study, which will focus on ocean surface temperatures, but will also continue to explore mankind's role in climate change. Though two foundations have already renewed their funding for the second phase, says Muller, the Koch Foundation is not among them. Koch Foundation spokesperson Tonya Mullins would not reveal to Whispers whether funding would be renewed, but she called the research the foundation has supported both "independent" and "sound."

Well,futurescurrents;; IF the usually wise Koch bros finally agree with algore-global warming???????????????????????????????????????????? Then why did that [newsworthy]ship get stuck in ice??LOL If the global warming scam were true, you would see more ice melting,LOL Never mind all the freezing weather lately. But my friend, NEVER forget ;;algore should be sued for fraud, the founder of weather channel said. PS Those Christian females, Jewish -Christian females are better behaved, better hands, better manners, they are warmer They hardly ever grab wrongly,, even in a fightLOL
Yes the world has warmed a few degrees so there will be no more ice and yes the previous owner who is not a scientist or climatologist but IS a deluded ignorant right-wing nitwit who thinks Al Gore is wrong. The Weather Channel's current position statement agrees with consensus that man has caused most of the warming over the last several decades. PS Do you often fight with girls? Is that the only way you can get close to them?
OMG! A website like this http://legalinsurrection.com/ is dedicated to the truth? LOL Where do you pathetic knuckleheads find these sites?
Mother Jones, despite its left-wing agenda, at least makes an effort to be objective. They were the first ones to call bullshit on the California high-speed rail fiasco, and they did it without pulling any punches. From Mother Jones (January 17, 2012) :"We are rapidly exiting the realm of rose-colored glasses and entering the realm of pure fantasy here. If liberals keep pushing this [high-speed rail] project forward in the face of plain evidence that its official justifications are brazenly preposterous, conservatives are going to be able to pound us year after year for wasting taxpayer money while we retreat to ever more ridiculous and self-serving defenses that make us laughingstocks in the public eye."
