    No such thing as "global Warming".

    Doesn't george bush have some Nobel Prize laureates and some other scientist with law degrees that go through and delete or tone down every mention of "global warming."

    Oh, that's right. 6 years after taking office, he finally believes that global warming exist. After he allowed his buddies to ramp up factories and up grade facilities without reqard to the envirement. < :-)

    Shhhhh.... don't tell the few remaining bush supporters.... they'll just pretend it's a 'nature' thing as they turn up the air-conditioning to counter the inexplicable heat waves.

    "In the past three decades, six Antarctic ice shelves have collapsed completely—Prince Gustav Channel, Larsen Inlet, Larsen A, Larsen B, Wordie, Muller and the Jones Ice Shelf."

    Three decades of Bush climate terror, if I understand the global warming religionists here.

    I can't believe how many people actually believe that if we stop driving our SUVs and change our lightbulbs that we can stop Mother Nature from warming up or cooling down the planet...

    sarge: the funny thing is idiots who believe that drilling in an arctic refuge will reduce costs at the pumps tomorrow! And yet YOU in particular support people who wish to do so for that exact reason.

    You're right, if you stop driving your SUV (ie, the chair around your computer on which you single-handedly fight the war on terror) tomorrow it won't make a difference the next day, but I can tell you that if morons who think doing nothing now won't make any difference in the future..... well..... good thing you'll be dead by the time the planet is inhospitable. Just don't give your kids any hope, sarge. Tell them flat out you don't care about them and spit in their faces. When you're dying and they don't want to help you (assuming we're still around), I'm sure they won't listen to the 'It's not my fault!' rants.

    Point being, again, doing nothing today won't change July 13th, but it WILL change things in the very near future. Doing SOMETHING now likewise won't change anything on July 13th, but WILL have a positive effect on things to come. It's amazing you can't see the forest for the trees, but since you want to cut them all down to keep things cheaper for a day or two.... well... perhaps not SO amazing.

    RedMeatKoolAid - What george bush did was to take 6 years and allowed practices and even encouraged practices that continued the processes of global warming and even took lawyers to rewrite global warming studies to keep his constiuents pouring crap into the atmosphere.

    george bush pushed enviremental damaging. < :-)
