Who are these liberals on whose behalf you purport to speak? Do all liberals make this claim? I sure don't. What is the difference between the referenced kids' article and your claims about what liberals say? You're not being coherent.

Do some research, this is just pathetic. I rarely see any arguments against global warming from anyone who is remotely literate with respect to science. Greenhouse gases are PRECISELY WHY "snowball earth" came to an end. And you know which greenhouse gas was primarily responsible for melting a world cloaked in ice? CO2, your old buddy. Fortunately for life on this planet, volcanic activity on a massive scale belched so much CO2 into the atmosphere that it was enough to melt the ice.
Vast shifts in climate such as this are not what is currently the topic of debate. The concern about current global warming is that it is happening at a rate that will generate major problems for humans and for ecosystems. Life on earth will be just fine, it generally thrives when the planet is warmer so that's not the issue. The problem is that human civilization has emerged during a prolonged atypical period of climate stability and we are now (probably) destabilizing it in a way that will have unknown but severe consequences.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?!?!? What's the difference between "contributing to it" and "causing it"? How is it a lie to point out our contribution (a causal relationship to the causation of global warming)?
You Fox News clones amaze me. You think that by repeatedly saying "liberal lie" and "loony left" and "liberal left" (an amusing redundancy) --- that these trite labels somehow contribute to your otherwise empty and misinformed diatribes against overwhelming evidence as published in every peer-reviewed science journal that touches on the subject of weather and climate.
