Because algorelied.com is such an unbiased source.

The planet's temperatures fluctuate, but the overall tend is that the planet is warming, and that human activity is the cause. I can't wait 'til a few years from now when the temperatures are at an all time high, and then seeing you in full damage control mode. It will be most entertaining.

Once again, this is just corporatist propaganda. The oil and energy industries are making billions, and they don't wish to lose their profits, so they continue to spread lies and misinformation to protect their current business model.

You use the phrase "overall trend". The Earth has been much warmer in the past than it is now, so how is it possible that there is an overall warming trend?

This is something I'd like to see at a state-by-state level. If CA, NY or MA want to do this, fine, leave the rest of the country out of it. Then we can evaluate the impacts on business and employement while hopefully only driving business to other states, not out of the country.

Socialism is the idea that the workers own the means of production and they all have equal access to the wealth it accumulates, and that mixed with capitalism, can produce a more ideal society.

Communism is the idea that the means of production is owned by the entire community, rather than just the workers, and that capitalism must be done away with completely in order to produce a more ideal society.

Two completely different philosophies.

As I've said, it fluctuates, but the pattern is that while some years the temperatures may be cooler, the average temperates are rising.

A few years from now, we'll be complaining about the new record highs and heat waves, while you deniers are still stubbornly parroting the corporation's bull**** claim that nothing's happening, that global warming is still a hoax.

Really, the same people who believe this global warming is a hoax nonsense are pretty much the same people who believe that evolution is a myth nonsense. It's anti-science, anti-intellectualism bull****.

1st point gets a B-
