You only listen to corrupted scientists, and I use the word "scientist" very loosely there. There are many other scientists that refute your claims.

Gas powered mowers and emissions.

Just one small, tiny change to HOA requirements and spread the word and hundreds of millions would not be using their gas powered mowers weekly or twice a week.

That's a step in the right direction..no ?

It's the leaf blowers that get me pissed. I've seen them being used in places where there are no leaves. For what???

Like this guy?

Let's just agree to disagree. I look at it this way...If I am incorrect in my beliefs about Climate Science and I am doing everything possible not to contibute to climate change, only good can come from my efforts in the long run, but if you and others that believe as you do are wrong...well then that's another story.

No, but I am a member of The Brooklyn Botanic Gardens Society and we teach kids about planting organic produce and the harmful effects of pesticides and chemicals in their food and on the environment...does that make you bang youself in the head too?

...and yes, people are getting paid big time to openly deny climate change andd global warming.

Nope. You're not using our tax dollars and kids are not mandated to attend your classes. And, I'm not opposed to kids learning about organic gardening in their free time. Sounds nice. My kids are at a summer farm camp at this very moment which probably incorporates some of the same teachings.

When will the other side of the story be told by these people? You want to see kids indoctrinated about something like global warming that not even the people who were so sure of it are pushing today but don't dare tell those kids the other side of the story.

I certainly hope you can see what I am saying, and why.

Where in that 74 pages of that new law does it say that the Department of
Education will stop indoctrinating our kids about global warming and other "Green" crap? Oh, yeah we haven't seen the bill yet have we. It is written and signed in less than two days and our Congress had promised 3 days on line for all bills along with the President promising 5 days before his signing.

I think you will have a load of trouble telling us about this stuff being ended as long as Obama is our President.
