When elected officials and others contribute to a climate and culture that fosters hyper-partisanship, we've got to blow the whistle.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Al Gore is not just whistling in the wind. Global warming is for real. Every scientist knows that now, and we are on our way to the destruction of every species on earth, if we don't pay attention and reverse our course.
The purpose of whistleblowing is to expose secret and wrongful acts by those in power in order to enable reform.
It's hardly surprising that the corporate aliens lie when it comes to the relationship between doing something about climate change and the economy.
Every time you blow the whistle, half the people are going to be mad at you.
We encourage whistleblowers to come forward in instances where the government is a victim.
Tragically, policymakers have thrown horrendous amounts of taxpayer money needed for other purposes at solving an unsubstantiated emergency. It is scandalous that so many climate scientists who fully knew that Al Gore had no basis for his irresponsible claims stood mute.
Unfortunately the global warming hysteria, as I see it, is driven by politics more than by science.
People don't realize that the Obama Administration has been, if anything, harder on whistleblowers than the Bush Administration. Part of the reason is that they know that the response will be more muted because the traditional constituency supporting whistleblowers just happen to be the same constituency as Obama's.
I'm at one with Ed Miliband in saying that it's important that people have the right to express their democratic voices and also their deep concerns about climate change because we have a planet in peril.
There's some politicians who still seriously believe that we haven't got global warming.
