which leftwing whacko politican said this: "First, we know the surface temperature of the earth is warming. It has risen by .6 degrees Celsius over the past 100 years. There was a warming trend from the 1890s to the 1940s. Cooling from the 1940s to the 1970s. And then sharply rising temperatures from the 1970s to today. There is a natural greenhouse effect that contributes to warming. Greenhouse gases trap heat, and thus warm the earth because they prevent a significant proportion of infrared radiation from escaping into space. Concentration of greenhouse gases, especially CO2, have increased substantially since the beginning of the industrial revolution. And the National Academy of Sciences indicate that the increase is due in large part to human activity." hint: it wasnt al gore

The global warming fraud may still be annoying, despite the constant and frequent debunking of its myths. But we needn't wonder why it still has a cult following... I don't know if it is global warming, or not, but it is factual that mankind is damaging, and otherwise changing, the earth. We are sucking huge amounts of hydraulic fluid (oil) out of the earth. We are damaging the earth's surface through the destruction of the rainforrests and through mining. Tons of harmful chemicals are constantly pouring into the air, streams and oceans. Huge amounts of raw sewerage is poured into the earth's oceans and streams. Every time you travel on an airplane, you can see the brownish, redish air pollution hovering over our communities. Have you heard about the Asian Brown Cloud? It is a pollution mass as big as the US and it is about 2 miles thick, and it is having a significant impact on the Asian climate, besides killing hundreds of thousands each year from respiratory disease. I feel certain that the results of this continuing pollution and destruction is going to significantly and negatively effect life on the earth in the near future. Why do you feel that those of us who are concerned about the effects of both pollution, and the other damage we are doing to the earth, are part of a cult?
