What's funny is that this issue used to be scientific, a long time ago.

Then the energy industry got involved and started funding opposing "research" and PR campaigns.

Then pundits like Limbaugh started preaching that it's all a hoax intended to extract wealth from Americans.

The message is attractive to some not because they've evaluated the science, but because the opposing political position doesn't require a PhD to comprehend. If Liberal celebs are behind it, it must be bad for America.

I'm sure there are credible non-believers, science isn't a perfect thing. But to throw out stats like we had 650 authors and the UN report only had 52 is so stupid my 5 year old would raise an eyebrow.

The trend lines still clearly indicate there's a giagantic issue the planet needs to deal with. Mocking the dilema and attempting to kill the debate is only going to leave our children less prepared, regardless of the true causes.

Scott, thanks for helping to make my son's world a little more crappy.

what did I do to make your son's world crappy? I am far more powerful than I imagined!

I think that what is frustrating for some is that both sides do have their minds made up as RIR said when there is hardly the "concensus" that King Al claims....Dad, that's great stuff but is it Hansen at NASA has screwed up quite a bit like recently declaring, what was it, October the hottest on record by transposing numbers from the previous month, he been shown to have a clear agenda, but doesn't everyone now...noone wants the environment...or "your son's world", Spence...there's something very revealing in that statement now that I think about it....to be crappy but the extent to which Kyoto and and many of the other proposals would damage economies makes no sense...hope the messiah is as reasonable, might have no choice given the current economy

In a December 17, 1962 interview, President Kennedy was asked whether his experience in the office matched his expectations. He answered this way:
The problems are more difficult than I had imagined them to be. The responsibilities placed on the United States are greater than I imagined them to be, and there are greater limitations upon our ability to bring about a favorable result than I had imagined them to be. And I think that is probably true of anyone who becomes President, because there is such a difference between those who advise or speak or legislate, and between the man who must select from the various alternatives proposed and say that this shall be the policy of the United States. It is much easier to make the speeches than it is to finally make the judgments. . . .
Indeed it is.

No, you just seem to take more pride in mocking the personalities than understanding the issues, and in doing so it kills the debate.

I'd like a real debate that can lead to productive actions.

wow, I waited a while to see if you hit the softball out of the park and no contact....hummmm...that was a Christmas present too...
are you just grumpy because it's snowing like crazy in Las Vegas?
Everyone seems grumpy....
whose personalities have I mocked? it's not like I'm the one telling others that the must be smoking crack or that they are either on or need drugs or professional help or suggesting that they are making the world more "crappy"....still don't get that.....please tell Spence Junior that I'm sorry for crappying his world...I love you Spence, you are my buddy...we could be like the Odd Couple...you are the really neat guy...I'll be Oscar...
I actually thought your shot at me about the Hannity doll was pretty funny and I was proud to see you attempt a little humor...I didn't whine about the Anti-American thing or call you McCarthy....personally, I'm not a big Hannity fan but maybe Laura Ingraham and Elizabeth Hasselbeck dolls for a threesome would be outstanding...maybe Ann Coulter but I can't stand her voice...
beats the lefty threesome...let's see...how about a Rosie O'Donnell, Madeline Albright and Hillary blow up doll contingent....yuck...
now I know why they're always depressed on the left....

my advice is don't worry, be happy

GET OVER IT...YOU WON!!!!

there may be a bit of pain as Obama said till he gets things going and redistributes that trillion bucks and socializes and nationalizes all of the economy but that won't take long once everyone is on their knees.....we know that you have to tear it all down before you can build it all back up but in the end we'll be living in the greatest Socialist Kyoto Compliant Utopia on earth...we will finally be just like Europe....I see no reason for gloom among those that seem gloomy...just be patient...there's nothing to stop them now....I do wish that Franken had won(althought he still might steal it) and that Saxby had lost (that damn Sarah Palin) giving the dems 60 seats in the senate because THEN we could really get what we deserve and there would be not a Republican in sight to blame if things happen to go awry....I still believe in America!

The sun is defenitely hotter on the skin then it was 30 years ago when there was no such thing as AC on the Cape and you needed a sweat shirt at night.

On the opposite side it's snowing in Malibu and the Calif. desert right now.

Know one knows for sure what the reasons are, but if Gore really believes in what he's preaching he should stop fllying as one 747taking off is the same as 10,000 cars starting their engines.

McCain believes that climate change is real. If he had been elected, he was going to take steps to reduce emissions.
Its right there on the McCain/Palin Website
We're past the point where a person can take the position that climate change is a hoax and expect to get elected to a national office. Its a closed issue. Kids in grammer school are studying the effects of climate change in science class.
Liberals and tree huggers want the talking heads of the right railing on against it so they can more effectively paint the right as anti-science.
