drinuk you are a complete idiot. You make no sense at all.

[drinuk]

jh6379, You carry on believing what you wish, carry on being manipulated like sheep and as cannon fodder for the Corporate Criminals, pay the extra taxes they will impose upon you in the name of Global Warming. I expect you believe in Bird Flu too and support the collusion between our beloved government and their friends in Big Pharma who are spending billions of OUR dollars on useless vaccine. I think the word is Patsy! Get Real for Christs Sake.

"then I remembered that 10 of the 11 hottest years on record all happened in past ten years. But I''''m sure it''''s just a hoax, right?"
---------------------------------
You can complain about the weather, but when it comes to climate and its long-term behavior, what you have expressed here is meaningless. Weather can be simultaneously extreme at opposing ends of the temperature sprectrum in locations not all so far apart from one another (as in Wyoming to Missouri, between which there is a significant elevation gradient). Even during The Little Ice Age, there were brief periods of intense heat and drought. The Medieval Warm Period was marked by cold snaps and freakish snowfalls too in some places. Anecdotal evidence of climate can be useful only to a certain extent.

rwassel,

They KNOW they have no solid ground to back up their claims that global warming is a myth. The evidence is overwhelming.

So they do what they always do when confronted with facts, they drag in some other topic and Bill Clinton to try and cloud the issue with irrevlences.

Bunch of cowards!

[clestes-2009]

How typical of shrub. He is great at destoying something, but can''t be bothered to help save anything!!

Worse president in US history, no doubt about it.

"Liberals, any questions?" Posted by perception5

Uhhh, yeah...why are you talking about Iraq and 9-11 on a story about global warming? Freakin right wing idiot...

[rwassel]

"As I sit in Cheyenne, Wyo, where it is currently 44 degrees (Farhenhiet) and the forecast for tonight is calling for a 60% chance of rain mixed with SNOW, I continue to wonder, WHEN WILL GLOBAL WARMING HIT WYOMING? I can''''t afford these heating bills!"

Funny - as I sit in MY home in Missouri, which hit 93 degrees yesterday (a little balmy for late September, huh?), I was asking myself the same question...then I remembered that 10 of the 11 hottest years on record all happened in past ten years. But I''m sure it''s just a hoax, right?

jh6379-
The basic premise of global warming is not a scam.
However, the propaganda machine that seeks to scare the world into action against a non-threat is a horrid scame and must be stopped. I don''t have confidence that social sensibilities will be enough to let this garbage die a natural death. We must preserve truth in science and make sure that the monster of climate change is only a myth.

[drinuk]

Very clever this Global Warming Scam, impose serious and expensive restrictions and regulations upon your competitors, i.e. China, India, Russia and all the little developing nations so that the benefit of "Cheap" labour is nullified. It is pointless arguing with Green Lefties, Rockerfellas boy Gore is playing right into their hands, they are his mouthpiece. The World is changing, it always has and always will, we have coped with it previously and will do so again.

It will all be totally academic, if as scientists predict, the Super Volcano that is Yellowstone Park goes Bang, the World will go into oblivion for at least ten years.

Don''t believe the Bull, it is simply the Corporate Criminals striving to get their hands on the developing nations cash.

"And what if we spend a lot of energy/money on CO2 emissions and scams like bio-fuels instead of addressing the real threats and looking for real solutions?" Posted by abbe91

But we aren''t doing either, and by the way, what are the *real* threats? Along the road to emission control, we might find a solution for world humger.

"Our leaders should have been acting on this issue all along. Its like Bush wants to be recorded in history as a dolt."

So, are you one of those who thinks that Global Warming is all Bush''s fault? Are you one of those who wants to rename Hurricane Katrine, Hurricane Bush?
That is utter nonsense!

[co2max]

You can deride the merits of the vehicles people drive, no matter how much bigger they are than yours is, but as soon as you do, you are dictating lifestyles to people, invading their privacy and interfering with how they live. This is wrong.
Take your dictatorial standards and apply them to your kids, but leave the rest of us out of it. Fuel economy makes sense when you consider that it is wasteful and expensive to drive a huge V-8 truck to go out for a loaf of bread, but by imposing higher standards (the CAFE regs) on all vehicles, you will be forcing a situation that ultimately will put more individual wheels on the road and increase emmissions of all kinds.

Also, you don''''t need a big SUV to go and buy bread next door. Posted by abbe91 at 09:11 AM : Sep 25, 2007

Where I work, the parking lot is 60-65% full of those huge Dodge Ram type trucks, some of them double cabs, lifted with fancy chrome tool boxes, winches, shiney rims. These guys drive them in every day, no car pooling, one guy per truck, they aren''t hauling a dang thing but their lone carcasses.

All for show. All for ego. All for looks. I pull in with my base model Hyundai. LOL.

Since no one really can predict the consequences of our continued pollution, how about erring on the side of doing the right thing, which means putting our kids future ahead of our egos.

Reading the posts here, it is really sad all the excuses people are coming up with not to care about that future world, whether or not their kids will have a decent place to exist in.

"What self-respecting oilman would ever put the environment over his profit margin?"

Bobby Ewing always did.

That''s why JR hated him so much.

Can you define "Victory in Iraq" in realistic terms ? (Not Pie-in-the-Sky stuff)

[aaabee-2009]

What self-respecting oilman would ever put the environment over his profit margin?

This is the same person who wants to open Alaska to drilling and who has enabled American car makers to produce wasteful excessive vehicles, to their own detriment. This is the man who is in Iraq to get their oil.

Bush is in perfect sync with his personal agenda which is completely out of sync with the rest of the world. Do you know where Bush will be when the problem-solving we face now becomes crisis-solving in the near future, he will be living on his secure ranch finishing up an long life of privilage and luxury at the expense of the entire globe. Long live King George the 0th.

To REALLY save the planet, get rid of the Bushes.

[prinzowhales]

Perception5--While I''m not a "liberal", I am rather curious why you would choose to buy into Maliki''s spurious line...even FBI Chief Mueller said that they could make no case against Osama bin CIA. They don''t even know who the alleged hijackers are--and haven''t changed the names of those accused even though seven of them are alive--this would be the kiss of death to any other confabulation that depended on the existence of dead suspects.

At least Maliki, when he chooses to spread manure, has Americans ready and willing to gobble it up, not surprisingly, they are the same old War Pig supporters who gobbled up the manure regarding Saddam''s WMDs and al Qaeda links.

We are not talking about less consuming cars, but more fuel-efficient cars. Also, you don''t need a big SUV to go and buy bread next door.
