oh really? you must mean the type of truth where scientists fudge the results by putting the scientific instruments in the middle of a city on black top where it is hotter, or do you mean at the airport where the results would be temps worse than if the instruments were placed out in the middle of nowhere where no humans reside?

that kind of science is considered junk science.

you know sans, it would be a lot easier to get behind your cause if the scientists involved were not getting a paycheck from the taxpayers and they were not fudging their results in favor of getting more grant money to pay their rent.

From 1998-2009, the US government appropriated $99 billion for work related to climate change. $35.7 billion (36%) of that total came in 2009 as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. [46]

I do not know about you, but 99 billion is lots of money to me.

And yet "Climate Change" comes in near the bottom (like...um...#14) of every poll of voter concerns. Where's the rolling-around-on-the-floor- laughing smiley?

Hold onto your wallets, folks.

From what I see on this forum, I think most Americans are not concerned about what happens so far in the future....The prevailing attitude seems to be look after number one, and screw future generations, even when it comes to their own grand kids.

please note:
You forget most Americans are idiots



They do not even realize the poles are shifting hence why aviators are adjusting their compasses.
nor do they realize magnetism of the earth has been going down
or the sunspots

causing global cooling instead of warming.
also to point out.

conserving energy is a good thing

but to force us to pay more for it is ludicrous.
if you give us an economical choice then sure we will do it.

otherwise NO.
It's the economics stupid.
