I believe in global warming, but I also believe in the ice age. It is and always has been a cycle. Sure, we should pollute less, but we aren't going to stop the warming cycle.

I didn't read the posts that were nearly a year old before I posted, I try to post first so that I don't get entangled in other peoples ideas while trying to express my own. I went back and read every post and see that I duplicated many of the same ideas that were already posted. So I guess we are all getting the same information. For once....

Pollution is a major concern and it's actually something we can do something about in our own homes. Getting Big Money, and Government to do something about it is an entirely different issue. They have problem on a global scale, not just the 50x100 square foot lot.

Oh and here is the best. If liberals cared about the environment, would Al Gore spend THOUSANDS of Dollars a month in his home in Tennessee??

Of course the whole thing is a sham. No one wants polluted skies and dirty rivers, but the whole Global Warming thing is a sham. If it was real, these liberals would not live like they do, polluting non-stop and doing what they do.

Oh did yopu also see the that "Global Warming" temperature monitors are all located next to heating vents or next to a place where they burn tires or near A/C exhausts... you know places that produce heat and cause the termometers to read higher temps?
Not many heating vents in Antartica, levels are rising down there too.

I had a world globe in my room when I was growing up. It was always about room temperature.

This was on drudge this morning.

D.C. resident John Lockwood was conducting research at the Library of Congress and came across an intriguing Page 2 headline in the Nov. 2, 1922 edition of The Washington Post: "Arctic Ocean Getting Warm; Seals Vanish and Icebergs Melt."
The 1922 article, obtained by Inside the Beltway, goes on to mention "great masses of ice have now been replaced by moraines of earth and stones," and "at many points well-known glaciers have entirely disappeared."
"This was one of several such articles I have found at the Library of Congress for the 1920s and 1930s," says Mr. Lockwood. "I had read of the just-released NASA estimates, that four of the 10 hottest years in the U.S. were actually in the 1930s, with 1934 the hottest of all.

Amazingly you hear NOTHING of this in the media. All the alarmist are playing it off as a minor detail. More obvious signs that neither are interested in a discussion, only supression of anything non AGW alarmist.
