Wow, that is news!

		<description>Obama is counting on people being idiots.  He is setting a timeline that will not be achieved while he is in office. A typical political trick.  Just set a goal and see what happens.  If you make it you wonder how that happened.  If you fail you hope everyone has either forgotten about it since you left office or if asked just blame the current office-holder.</description>

Accurate?  There&#039;s no way of knowing, since it&#039;s from E &amp; E.

Have other scientists reviewed, and duplicated their work?  You know, that little thing called scientific methodology.</description>

The earth is the biggest producer of CO2.
——————–

That’s irrelevant.

What’s important is that Earth’s natural CO2 sinks cannot absorb all of the CO2 humans have produced.

That has caused CO2 levels to rise higher than they’ve been in 800,000 years.

What is that a smoke screen? 

“Carbon dioxide variability is almost universally viewed as an oceanic phenomenon, a consequence of the large pools of carbon sequestered there. Changes in ocean circulation, biological productivity, carbon dioxide solubility and other aspects of ocean chemistry have been implicated, but the exact mix of mechanisms IS NOT CLEAR.”

How do you come to that conclusion?  I doubt you really understand what your are saying.</description>

		<description>Cosmos links to an article pointing out that the the current 10 year cooling period is just too short a period to be valid. OK, fair enough.

To better put the current temperatures in perspective, let’s see the graph contained in this article. Which shows a 2,000 year temperature trend. Here ya go. Interesting.

If this global cooling trend continues, will we see government regulations requiring businesses to INCREASE the amount of GHGs they release?

The second graph here is outlander&#039;s proof(sic) that there is a &quot;global cooling trend&quot;.

		<description>There are those confuse all pollution with CO2 emissions. The earth is the biggest producer of CO2. Pollution comes in many forms besides CO2. Nobody wants pollution in the form of dirty air and water and few doubt the warming trend. It’s the CAUSE that is in question and whether we can do anything about it. We can’t stop the earth from spinning, the wind from blowing or sun from shining. 

The AGW crowd tries to accuse the skeptics of wanting a dirty world when nothing can be further from the truth. The skeptics are more concerned about the short term affects of the draconian measures the AGW crowd wants to rush to impose on the already fragile economies of the world.</description>

		<description>Here we are again,people are trying to survive just to have enough to eat and the greenies want control of our lives. In my opinion there is no global warming or cooling that man can control regardless of how many regulations the politicians come up with. I will continnue to operate my fossel fuel machines until they are pulled from my grimy hands.</description>

		<description>Reducing America’s greenhouse gases to 1905 levels, 

will be easy once the last American factory shuts down and takes their business overseas.

We won&#039;t need cars because we will have no money to spend anywhere anyway.

Horses might prove to be important again when we shop closer to home (neighborhood).

Outhouses? I&#039;m sure the greens will come up with a reason to restore them. 

Perhaps once America stops progressing, and we have birds, lizards, trees, everywhere, we might have to take things a step FURTHER back than 1905.

If GW continues, we may need to revert to the stone age.

Just read what the GW nuts are writing - it could happen.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Reducing America’s greenhouse gases to 1905 levels, </p>
<p>will be easy once the last American factory shuts down and takes their business overseas.</p>
<p>We won&#8217;t need cars because we will have no money to spend anywhere anyway.</p>
<p>Horses might prove to be important again when we shop closer to home (neighborhood).</p>
<p>Outhouses? I&#8217;m sure the greens will come up with a reason to restore them. </p>

    He had better or we will fire him and get someone who can.

     The days of carefree tearing up the environment are over folks.</description>

		<description>If this global cooling trend continues, will we see government regulations requiring businesses to INCREASE the amount of GHGs they release?</description>

		<description>&quot;[Before fossil fuels] Life expectancy was only 47 years, about 30 years shorter than today.&quot;

All you AGW doubters out there looking for factual evidence, you need to have faith and show some compassion for poor people.  

By capitulating to the demands of the AGW believing scientists, you will be helping to prevent poor people from dying off at an old age due to global warming.  

If we can get the poor to die off at age 47 due to out-of-reach energy and food prices, we solve that serious problem and do a good deed for all humanity.

Ya&#039;ll See?</description>

		<description>I took it out of the car and put it in my popup when I was camped out. Lived in the popup three months this year. Channel six is 60s music, for you who don&#039;t know. I streamed it on the &#039;puter at home.</description>

		<description>I have no idea what it costs, I have it in the car, truck and even in my motor home.  Put it on the same credit card I buy gas with, never look at the itemized bill, I just pay it every month.</description>
