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.

    you can find tons of archeological "dig sites" today that are underwater. dumb Egyptians burned too much crap and suck their burning library in alexandria!
    today it was sunny in the morning, it rained in the afternoon and now it's dark and foggy.
    *OMG* climate change!
    holy sh1t there used to be mammoths and tigers with teeth as long as swords and they were marching around on ice ... in paris!
    sh1t they had so much ice they could walk from russia to alaska, now america.

    if you hear anything "climate change" please think Chernobyl and Fukushima ... 3 mile island was no problem (because it happened in america)
    it is a RUSE of the nuclear industry to push more nuclear power because it emits no carbon dioxide (just like dead humans).
    so if you don't want to learn to swimming -or- move your dwelling because the climate CHANGES but instead prefer to have children with three eyes and no brain and food that conveniently glows in the dark for the next 10'000 years ... sure ... clim☢te change.
