"...Bull! Gore and the left have MADE this a political issue. Scientists can only work with cycles they can prove. The past hurricane activity could only be measured by eyewitness reports from ships who happen to sail in to their path, or when they made landfall. There wasn't even a system of measuring strength in place until the past few decades.

Christopher Columbus didn't hang over the edge ofhis ship with a themomoter to measure SST's. The FACT is that this is a relatively new science. And like it or not, Global Warming is a buzz word. Not an exact proven science. Ice caps have been melting for thousands of years since the Ice Age. Hence, why we have an OCEAN instead of a block of ice between continents. We have a better chance of a Meteor wiping out the Earth than Global Warming wiping it out. A little common sense goes a long way when looking at the hype.

Bottom line. Since there is NO way they the Dems/Libs can tout that they are tough on terror and National Security, they have to find another platform in which to incite panic and hysteria. Terrorism is real. It's been proven beyond a doubt, right here on our own soil. Global Warming is a sketchy science born of today's technology.

Until I see a convincing shift in the Scientific atmosphereic community in support of Global Warming, then I will let listen to those I trust who do not have a political agenda."

***************************

"Do you not understand what “global legislation” is? The whole purpose of the global warming issue (Kyoto Protocol) is to create worldwide socialism. I know that probably sounds like a great idea to you, but for most people who enjoy living in this free country, it sucks. As a developed country, we will be required to pay and supply technology to other countries so they can sit around and “research” the environment, getting paid by us in the name of some threat that is debatable even exists. In order to understand the way climate change works, you need hundreds of years of observation and research that proves your theory. We can’t even produce reliable research that is consistent within the past 25 years…much less get every scientist to be on the same page. 40 scientists? LMAO Go do your research!:):)

The Kyoto Protocol isn’t going to do jack regarding the speed of alternative technologies or alternative fuels. That is going on regardless of this socialist treaty. Speaking of being oil dependent, how about letting us drill for oil in our own country while we work on alternative fuels? How about letting us use wind power systems as an alternative energy source? Believe me, I’d rather let my elected officials make these decisions for me than some anti-American International dude who is “assigned” to come over here and tell me that my standard of living needs to be downgraded because we “may” be burning up the planet."

2. no - thank YOU!
It's a board where middle america meets - long story, but nobody there even watches Kimmel. Politics are discussed often there and the misinformation is astounding.

ok - back to bed...thanks again.
