Yes,I comment before,bu this time I would make a comment on Al Gore.He was the Best president America did not Have.And he and Obama and Clinton and George McGovern,are truly the Presidents ever needed. But there is an Issue,Iīd like to add. The NORTHPOOLE going towards China/Russia,with 40 kilometers every Year,since 1991.Therefore the ICE on Polar-regions today,melts 3000 times faster than for the Last 10.000 years,and Global warming is due to a Planet Parallell to Ours out in Space.The Planet NIMBIUS-with a RED DWARF-a Giant Sun as itīs only Companion.NIMBIUS is affected in such a Way by itīs almost BLACK HOLE STAR/Red Dwarf-so itīs average density is close to 1.500Kilogrammes per Litre. Ordinary Rock on Earth got an average of 3,5 kilogrammes per Kilogrammes. And The Red Dwarf has Millions of Tones per Litre of Mass. Therefore TIMES affected,and our NORTPOOLE is Travelling since 1991. If These Planets,and they will,pass in slow way,already Calculated by N.S.A. and NASA,the Earth will suddenly close NORTHPOOLE to Equator,Change Pooles,and less than 1/8 of Earths Population will Survive this,aproximately in 2011-2016.

The Schafflongkerraz Wessels will come on 17th April 11.11 Daytime 2011,to collect our Persons or Samples from us.To create us Elsewhere,in another World,another time,different places in TIME and UNIVERSE. Congratulation-some of us made it.Gud does not Exist,Neither Allah. But the Great 1 kilometer wide UFOs Golden Glowing,does Exist. Kindly Thomas Escargency Kallmyr-UDDEVALLA-SWEDEN
Carbondioxid-issue is a Scam,for Raising TAXES,for poor Countries,I guess,or a Way to get Our Eyes Open because we Destroyed This World.

There are multiple sides to this issue. The issue shouldnt be why we should go green, it should be why we shouldnt use up the earths natural resources. We have found an alternative, and that should be enough. Carbon does not ruin the environment, there have been reports of dramatically higher carbon emissions in the ozone. However, think of the oil you use in your car, suck that out and see how long your car lasts! The warming, which I dont believe in, could just be that the heat from the earths core is working its way to the surface easier through the gaping holes where it used to be controlled with oil. Also, think of how the continents move, oil is like a lubricant that would allow them to move gently and easily, take that away and you get a much different move, which could explain the more frequent earthquakes being experienced around the world. Lets try to stick to what is important here.

If you disagree with Mr. Gore about global warming than you need to do more homework and get your facts straight because on this issue you are a fool. This problem of global warming is not just an environmental problem it is a huge national security problem of the highest order. Wake the hell up and smell the coffee you deniers of global warming because you are a total idiot if you do not think about this problem in terms of national security and economic security. We have lost 40,000 wounded and over 5,000 killed in Iraq a war of choice so we can drill for oil. The Iraq war is going to cost us $3 trillion in long term costs. Read Professor's Joe Stiglitz and Linda Bilmes book on the $3 Trillion War. Also you need to read "Beyond Oil", by Professor Kenneth S. Deffeyes, who talks about Geologist professor's Hubbert's prediction on world Peak Oil production. Hubbert accurately predicted American peak oil production at 3 billion barrels per year in 1970 back in the 1950's. Today oil production has declined every year since 1970 to about 2 billion barrels in 2006. Hubbert also predicted world Peak Oil will occur sometime during the first decade of the 21st Century. So far it looks like we may very well be on an dramatic decline in the ability to find more cheap oil. T. Boone Pickens has said it will be harder to keep up the production of 85 million barrels per day presently in the long run. We are running out of cheap oil. As demand increases and supplies contract get used to oil going up in price and then staying there.

The present costs of our oil dependency are huge. We spent $450 billion in 2008 that was added to our huge trade deficit but this does not include the huge military costs associated with securing our long vulnerable oil supply lines. Something on the order of two-thirds of the Pentagon's $650 billion budget (do not forget supplemental bills in Congress sometimes not added to the budget) is directly tied to the Middle East. Remember, if Israel attacks Iran, or some other serious development like a coup de tat in Saudi Arabia happens oil would go to $300 per barrel. We import 70% of our energy from unstable parts of the world. These developments, or other plausible developments, would help destroy America's economy.

The status quo of fossil fuel use must be stopped. We can not afford to keep importing 70% of our fuel from OPEC countries. We need an Apollo to the Moon program or a Manhattan Project to get rid of imported OPEC oil forever. Remember, every single veteran that has suffered burns, an amputated limb, confinement for life in a wheel chair, or who has died or suffers from Brain trauma or PTSD has done so that an American back here can fill up their gas guzzling SUV. Americans should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this to happen. We are better people than this. Now it is time to prove it by eliminating imported OPEC oil forever so we can bring our troops home for good from the Middle East.

The latest news: Al Gore wants people to perform acts of civil disobediance to protest global warming. Is there no end to the nonsense that Al Gore will spew? http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/nov/07/al-gore-interview-climate-change

If the Father of internet, Nobel laureate, is on the mission for 30 years. Why was his utility bill $30,000? Did his child (the internet) leak this out? He sure would not be proud of his child. Why can't he fly a solar/wind powered plane instead of jet fueled Gulfstream? Why can't he live in a solar tent rather than the 20 room mansion?
