"make a certain conclusion one way or the other" so in other words...wait for that "mushroom cloud" as proof, right? But...the contention that, "No real proof exists that"...Iraq was poised to unleash wmd much less possess them in the quantity, quality and state of preparedness required to do so was not the same thing you now say about global warming???? hmmmm????? The lack of consistency exhibited by willingness to try and discredit one point but use the same argument to substantiate a mindless parroting of position on an issue obfuscated with a rep. vs dem. self-imposed prism as the only way to assess issues is laughably simple-minded.

Thomas, It has become quite hilarious to watch American Hag. She posts nothing after nothing to no one...plenty of words...no substance ..she does not care one bit what anyone but her has to say, and is so stricken with Kerry, Heinz better watch out, AHS is liable to get desperate and do something weird.

LOL, what an article of stupidity science. The simple question is this. Is there any real change in the climate? Yes, world temps and water levels have risen. Ancient glaciers are melting at a rapid pace. The Arctic Circle's ice cap has broken apart. Pacific island nations are sinking into the ocean. Only those who are stupid or have their heads in the sand think everything is fine. No real proof exists that the increase in CO2 and other greenhouse gases have materially impacted the climate. See above. No computers models can demonstrate the cause and and effect. The historical record contains too little data to make a certain conclusion one way or the other. Are you willing to risk our planet on your determination that computer models are not conclusive enough? Only a fool would be so stupid. But what is really idiotic about the whole debate is that in the context of planet earth, no matter what America does to reduce or not green house gas emissions, the world with increase that output of those gases by 10 times or more in the future. America's contribution to the total green house gas emissions decreases dramatically in the future. Why do anything then? Why clean the streets.....they will only get dirty again? America throws out 25% of the world's pollutants; that's enough reason. Does anyone really think less than a 1% change in the rate of increase will make any difference??? Why do you care so little? Any fool who makes the arguments made in that article have simply demonstrated they are total science ignoramuses. Posted by the same person who supports the president who lies to us. Need I say more? We already knew you were, but thanks for letting us know there are others out there writing dumb dumb stuff. When will evolution work its magic?
