Hey

I was just curious where you got all these quotes. Its not that I don't trust its just I know that the oil industry is working really hard to undermine GW activists and that you may have gotten these quotes from a foiled source.

Sorry to disappoint you, but, something is definitely out of whack.

Yep, and they had freezing temperatures in FL last week. It's called weather for a reason.

You might as well be an anti-vaccinationist or a creationist.

Continue to follow Gore and his lie...

So while you list some quotes, their evidence against is not provided and if it was, it certainly will be more than your "its cold outside" evidence.

i can tell you this much, if another ice age happens like it is supposed to, alot of people including liberals will be screaming for global warming.

nonetheless, anything man does cannot be as much or as bad as the sun can do.
