Yes . . . Algore's misplaced anger at not ever being able to fulfill his childhood dream . . . to be the president of the United States.

In monotone robot voice, "Thank you for fullfilling the weekly requirement. Big brother will now present you with your weekly ration of Solvent Green. Please go to the next window."

I try not to run my heater or ac, shut off lights/electronics when not in use.
I try to eat locally grown produce.
I recycle, but that actually generates more CO2. Still, better than filling up the landfills.
I advocate a switch from coal to nuclear power.

In the future, I'll build/buy a house that meets my family's needs while not being overly large and requring extra heating/cooling. I'll live close to work to cut down on driving time (hopefully within walking or biking distance.) Same goes for shopping and entertainment.

Don't you mean "Soylent" Green?

Actually, big brother is telling me to buy a large SUV and then deduct the depreciation from my side businesses' taxes. However, I don't like being told what to do. So instead I carpool and let the guy driving solo in front of me prop up the same House of Saud who funded the 9/11 attacks, with his automotive overcompensation for whatever part of his life or physique is apparently lacking.

I think people should stop passing gas, it's harming the environment. Oh, did you hear about the coming ice age yet? The Sun is cooling down.

It may very well be, but I wouldn't know as I don't have any boxes or containers of it around my house, my property, or any place in my midst. Not a day to day word in my life .

Maybe one day the global warming fascists will kill all the cows because of their farting and make us all eat them (according to their their big brother policies/laws) as our day to day meals and of course we will not be eating under lovely, softened, incandescent lighting--unless we were smart enough to stash some away and use them. Then though we will be killed (probably added into the cow mix) or not allowed our dead cow S.G. portions for the day for using non approved lighting.

People think that global warming is "liberal propaganda" simply because the liberals bring up the issue and are pushing to do something about it. An because Al Gore, and other liberals do activism about global warming, people immediately associate it with liberals.

Conservative politicians are calling global warming a myth for purely greedy, money-driven and political reasons. To take action against global warming gos against their economic policies, but they know that it's real too. So screw the Earth, we need some money right?

In LA people aren't gonna start bicycling though. Bicycling messes up hair gel, mascara and nail polish. And it's hard to ride a bike when your whole outfit is meant to make some gaudy fasshion statement instead of being functional. So i'm sure LA will keep driving until they're driving into the mountains to escape the rising sea level. And even then, they'll all have their wardrobes and make-up packed into the back of their SUV's.

I guess I just don't understand why people are still driving these "big bad" trucks and gas hogs. Everytime I see some idiot reving his big engine or spinning his tires I cant help but to laugh, he thinks he's tough, but really it just shows how stupid and wasteful it is. Is it maybe an over-compensation for the lack of endowment? We have alot of these types here in podunk, it's entertaining though

The earth is in a constant state of global warming, and global cooling. This has been happening since the earth was born. Whenever there is a radical change in weather or climate, the environmentalists blame it on human development. Why doesn't someone blame the sun for earth's warming/cooling, it's all about the sunspots, sunspots not carbon gas. We should stop breathing because of the carbon dioxide being expelled. When will someone offer proof for global warming with relation to man polluting the environment, and I'm not speaking of Al Gore's movie which is voo-doo science.

Rainforest deforestation has more to do with global warming than carbon gases from industrialized nations.
