Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt today said it was a “mistake” to support the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), a group that has said human-created climate change could be “beneficial” and opposes environmental regulations. Schmidt said groups trying to cast doubt on climate change science are "just literally lying."

Google’s membership in ALEC has been criticized because of the group’s stance on climate change and its opposition to network neutrality rules and municipal broadband. Earlier this month, Google refused to comment after 50 advocacy groups called on the company to end its affiliation with ALEC.

    ...assuming you ever studied it.

    You need to learn the difference between an integral and a single data point.
    Had you paid attention in school, you might have discovered there is a difference between a (rising-in-the-long-term) baseline and a (wildly deviating) delta.

    Taking some time to discover how many overlapping data sets there are that verify global warming would also allow you to look less the faith-based fool.
    The phrase that pays is "climate proxies".

    ...and not to go too ad hominem, but you're more likely to be taken seriously if you find a source other than Breitbart.
    Surely some outfit with some integrity covered that story.

    Actually I did quite well in Calculus. Admittedly my sources were quickly found, but I wanted to have a little foundation for my claims. Let me review your sources really quick...Hmm...Seems you don't have any. Let me guess..you failed English?
