Partly it's a reaction to what happened in 2000, when the American people chose Mr. Gore but his opponent somehow ended up in the White House. Both the personality cult the right tried to build around President Bush and the often hysterical denigration of Mr. Gore were, I believe, largely motivated by the desire to expunge the stain of illegitimacy from the Bush administration. And now that Mr. Bush has proved himself utterly the wrong man for the job - to be, in fact, the best president Al Qaeda's recruiters could have hoped for - the symptoms of Gore derangement syndrome have grown even more extreme.

Sure, the price per barrel of crude oil is up.Inflation and many other
things account for that.How much was the price per barrel of crude oil in 1941? (the year I was born) A couple of dollars would fill up a car's gas tank.And look at wages, and the prices of cars and homes and food etc.Check out, www.jacksongasprices.com Adjusted for inflation, we are paying about the same per gallon of gasoline as people paid in 1941. cuhulin |

Second the liberal socialists are pushing this as an agenda against capitalism. It's right out there in the open. The fact that you don't get it is preposterous.

Mankind could disappear off the face of the earth tomorrow and the weather or climate would not change. Besides the fact that man's activities are easily 2% how do you think it is possible that mankind is causing climate change? You realize there are many natural processes that add and subtract CO2 from the atmosphere that control the gas balance in the atmosphere.

Humans are causing the majority of recent warming. That is the state of current best scientific knowledge. This is not opinion. It is documented fact. Hogwash! It a religion now. No stopping it. I see a big problem that is getting worse. People that do not understand science making outrageous claims get a following. Witness the retard that was posting here claiming that the towers fell faster than they should have because there was controlled demolition that brought them down. Objects fall at a certain rate determined by the acceleration of gravity. Air friction is the only factor that slows them down. This was figured out in the middle ages. And then the retard doesn't think that the fuel fire in the tower acting as a chimney could not reach temperatures to melt the steel infrastructure so to this they need a conspiracy theory for it to make sense to them. It looks like a sickness to me, kind of a adult AADD where someone has figured out how to program these hapless individuals. This stupefied behavior used to be confined to politics and social issues which encompass what people want and statistics which can prove whatever you want but now has reached into science and recent events. Michael Moor, Alex Jones, Al Gore, and other loons lead the way with their improbable and unworkable ideas and still get a following of AADD individuals. I was listening to Alex Jones the other night on WWCR and I thought he was going to breakdown on the spot. He was just screaming into the mike. Toward the end of the rant it was no words just screaming. Then there was a commercial break and afterward when he was back on he sounded perfectly normal. The guy is a natural actor and knows how to manipulate the audience. He sure had me going for a few minutes. Priceless entertainment. -- Telamon Ventura, California |

www.devilfinder.com How much global warming is caused by the Sun and
Volcanos. How do those Kooks and Wackos out there explain previous global warmings and ice ages that happened many times before Humans ever showed up on Planet Earth millions of years ago? How do they explain that Mars is heating up a little bit too? cuhulin |

Are they political as well? "The scientific evidence is clear: global climate change caused by human activities is occurring now, and it is a growing threat to society. Accumulating data from across the globe reveal a wide array of effects: rapidly melting glaciers, destabilization of major ice sheets, increases in extreme weather, rising sea level, shifts in species ranges, and more. The pace of change and the evidence of harm have increased markedly over the last five years. The time to control greenhouse gas emissions is now. The atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide, a critical greenhouse gas, is higher than it has been for at least 650,000 years. The average temperature of the Earth is heading for levels not experienced for millions of years. Scientific predictions of the impacts of increasing atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases from fossil fuels and deforestation match observed changes. As expected, intensification of droughts, heat waves, floods, wildfires, and severe storms is occurring, with a mounting toll on vulnerable ecosystems and societies. These events are early warning signs of even more devastating damage to come, some of which will be irreversible. Delaying action to address climate change will increase the environmental and societal consequences as well as the costs. The longer we wait to tackle climate change, the harder and more expensive the task will be. History provides many examples of society confronting grave threats by mobilizing knowledge and promoting innovation. We need an aggressive research, development and deployment effort to transform the existing and future energy systems of the world away from technologies that emit greenhouse gases. Developing clean energy technologies will provide economic opportunities and ensure future energy supplies. In addition to rapidly reducing greenhouse gas emissions, it is essential that we develop strategies to adapt to ongoing changes and make communities more resilient to future changes. The growing torrent of information presents a clear message: we are already experiencing global climate change. It is time to muster the political will for concerted action. Stronger leadership at all levels is needed. The time is now. We must rise to the challenge. We owe this to future generations." -American Association for the Advancement of Science |
