A group of Bay Area environmentalists has proposed labels that will warn drivers of their contribution to global warming every time they pull up to the pump.

They also want to tax us for the amount of miles we drive, nothing surprises me in this state anymore.

Sticker is wrong in the proposed language. They need to add a "may cause" not "causes." Of course that won't work because the message from The Church is doubters don't exist.

97% of active climate scientists "have not only accepted the existence of global warming, but also its human causation, as a matter of fact for the last two decades."
NASA link- Climate Change: Vital Signs of the Planet: Global warming consensus

What would the church of R. Limbaugh say about that?

They would if they could. The inmates are running the asylum in this state.

One has to wonder at the lunacy of these people.
Yet here in south-central Alaska, we have been experiencing unseasonably warm temperatures and we have very little snow on our mountaintops and NO snow cover on the ground.

Normally, at this time of the year, the mountain tops would not only have a few to several feet of snow but we would have at least 6-12 inches on the ground.

Believe me, I'm not complaining. It reminds of late autumn / early winter back on the East Coast but I cannot deny that this is happening for the second time in three years and is unusual.

It might not be global warming but something is causing the climate to change, no question about it.

Solar activity. Google it. As for the west coast, you might want to pay attention to chemtrails, a lot of people in CA are drawing a connection between CT and the drought there. Cloud seeding can work in reverse. Rain/snow hops the west coast and pounds the midwest. It is happening now and will again this spring.

I believe that the main cause is solar activity but I also believe that human activity is also contributing to the effects of climate change.

Unquestionably, the burning of fossil fuels has released (and continues to release) massive amounts of CO2 and other greenhouse gases which help to warm the atmosphere, thus raising the temperatures of the oceans, which, in turn, melt the polar ice caps and sea ice, creating bigger and more ferocious storms, flooding, beach erosion, loss of land mass, etc.

The end result is a cascading effect of destruction upon the planet's animal and plant life, that, in all likelihood, is irreversible.

I believe you mean "polar vortex."
