Competitive Enterprise Institute Funded by the likes of knuckle-dragging Scaifes and Exxon. You didn't know that did you? Your husband, the MENSA guy (ROTFLMAO) should be very upset with you. It really doesn't matter what YOU think. It really doesn't matter what I think right now either. Your RegressiveRepublican incompetents aren't doing much of anything about fossil fuels except to pump more profits into the likes of ExxonMobil....and Hezbollah. Since they aren't doing anything to quell terrorism, it's likely that we'll be hit in the future with the effects of what they're doing to us today on the global warming front. RepublicanRegressives have a death wish....for us all. ================== "...As CNN host Anderson Cooper said during a June 1 segment of Anderson Cooper 360, Gray's hurricane predictions were "way off last year": COOPER: Gray's record, over about 20 years, is one of the most reliable. But he was way off last year. In 2005, [Gray] said there would be 15 named storms, but there were 27. He also expected eight hurricanes, four of which would be intense. But there were 14 hurricanes last year, and seven were major, including Katrina, which left more than 1,800 people dead. While Snow noted that Gray's view on global warming is "at odds not only with former vice president Al Gore, but with over 2,000 of the world's leading climate scientists," she also repeated Gray's suggestion that the reason more scientists have not joined him in denouncing the threat of global warming is because they "are afraid to voice skepticism." A May 28 Washington Post Magazine article by Joel Achenbach offered a different perspective, reporting that Gray's methodology regarding climate change "is increasingly on the fringe" and noting that "[t]he skeptics don't agree with one another." Pat Michaels, for instance, distanced himself from Gray, saying, that unlike Gray, he "believe[s] in climate change caused by human beings." When Achenbach "ask[ed] Gray who his intellectual soul mates are regarding global warming," Gray responded, "I have nobody really to talk to about this stuff.'" ....http://mediamatters.org/items/200606090011
