The laughable clown in the video above, is on Exxon Mobile’s payroll and is trying to convince a skeptical Senate committee that we should compare today’s world, to that of the pre-Jurassic period, 30 Million years ago.

Princeton University Atomic Physicist Dr. William Happer testified before the Senate’s Environment and Public Works Committee on the 25th, claiming that the real concern is a ‘CO2 famine’.

We appreciate Senator Barbara Boxer’s reaction to this paid mouthpiece of the fossil fuel lobby. It’s good to see that there is some common sense within our government, though too often, in short supply.

What is the one biggest thing that we can do to send a message? The next time you stop to buy gas, drive on by the Exxon station. My wife and I have been boycotting them for over 5 years.
