No need to worry, Glorious Leader Obama will soon pa** a law banning Bad Weather.
 
In only 6 months he's solved most of humanities problems and has received the Nobel Peace Prize.
 
He'll solve global warming over the weekend.
 
Just when you thought the Nobel committee couldn't outdo itself after awarding the Peace Prize to Ya**er Arafat!

Hey, let's be fair. Obama accomplished quite a bit during the nine days he was in office while the Nobel Prize voting was still open.

I do have a problem when you try these subtle character attacks on me when you don't even know me.. I think I have made my point extremely clear and if you still do not understand, well I'm sorry. I don't know how to make it any clearer. At least I acknowledge the possibility of a problem and the consequences of doing nothing as opposed to turning away and not even attempting to contemplate if this is a problem. Therefore you are no better than the rest of us "global warmer believers".

In regards to my being no better than your fellow "believers", I take exception to that. I do more for the environment than anyone you know. Lumping me in with a bunch of do-nothings who tell the rest of the world how they need to change while doing nothing themselves is ludicrous. The point I was trying to make ever so gently was this. I believe that people who don't vote shouldn't run their mouths about the state of our country. The same goes for the psuedo-environmentalists. If you are not going to do anything about the climate change stop crying about how the world is going to end. If you really believed your own hype, there would be less words and more action. As it stands now, the action column is empty.

And the point I have been trying to make ever-so-gently is we need to change our energy sources.  I have never one time on here told you or anyone what they need to do or change about themselves.  It is not about forcing people to change but simply to change.  Look, I'm an optimist, but I'm also a realist.  We aren't going back to the horse and buggy days.  We are too set in our ways now.  Fossil fuel was a great thing in 1910, 1950, and even 1990.  But technology has come too far to continue down a dead end road.  That has been my message the whole time.  Not to stop driving your car or anything like that. 

As far as my "action column" I see nothing in yours that is not in mine other than maybe the bio diesel truck.  I think the things you do and I do are good, but they are only a band aid over a festering sore.  I'll say it again, so what if global warming by chance is not as severe or as bad as most scientists think.  Can you think of one negative aspect of changing more to solar energy?  Or harvesting the wind?  It can be done.
I'm not a Congressman.  I do not make the laws.  But I'm using the most powerful tools I have and thats my voice and my pen.  For "real" change that is where you start.

Absolutely no hard feelings at all. If we all believed the same sh1t, there'd be no difference between any of us.
I have stated before and I will state again. We can be friends and not believe the same stuff.
If James Carville can be married to Mary Matalin, we can discuss climate change without hating on each other.

Poor countries are not polluating. The rich does. So if they face the global warming effect, their fate will not affect the warming. Guess how many cars, TVs, air conditionning .. have africans ? None of course.
OUCH !! THAT HURTS

Dammit Cokken I refuse to read this garbage! WERE GOIN  TO HAVE TO SEND YOU TO
A POLOITICAL RE EDUCATION CAMP.
 
This skepticism you are showing, questioning the status quo and conventional wisdom
is just down right stupid! Our glorious leaders and their heroic scientists have commanded that we
beleive global warming is HAPPENING and its OUR FAULT!
 
We must give up our rights so that they can rescue us from ourselves. It's the only way.
 
OPEN your EYES and SUBMIT.

If you've been watching the news lately there has been an interesting development in the on-going drama of global warming.
This ==> http://online.wsj.com/article/SB125883405294859215.html is just one article about the "Climate-gate" scandal. 

If the hacked emails and documents are genuine,  and by all accounts so far they appear to be, then at the very least they show the unethical and thuggish instincts of some rather well respected scientists and the institutions they represent - including the much quoted IPCC ...

 
Edit: Other articles
