All this lovely exchange. Humanity will unfortunetly choke itself on human infestation, the real source of the unpleasant argument. Planet earth has human-earth ratio balance at two billion. Now we are at about six and a half and growing. We might perish by various means, but the inevitability is only questionable as to when, how soon and by what means.

I guess Gore is tucked away somewhere studying on how Dinosaur cars caused the ice to melt away during our three or four previous ice ages...

To posters like dne who think there are too many people on the planet, take control of the future and go jump off of a cliff.

Or is your life too precious to sacrifice for the planet? Perhaps you think that we should be killing those lesser humans...

This ole planet (by most counts) is about 4.6 billion years old. Most earth scientists agree that it was once a ball of molten material, then it was covered with water, then there was organic life, then there was not, then there were dinosaurs, then there were not.
Things come and go. Planets in the universe are undergoing constant change. It is the nature of things. We simply cannot look at a snapshot of even 10,000 years and say with any certainty what is occurring. We and our time here, are just a blip on the screen.
For the environmental movement to think that we inconsequential humans can have some effect on the climate, whether intentional or deleterious, is absurd and very self-aggrandizing

Has anyone ever considered the similarities between this whole global warming movement and the eugenics movement of 100 years ago? As all of
you intellectuals will know this led to the horrors of the holocaust.
If you will do a little research you will find that it is the same type
of elites that were pushing the eugenics movement as are now pushing
the global warming movement. I challange you to google the name
'Maurice Strong'. As with the eugenics movement, it is backed by the
same foundations that now back global warming, including the Rockerfeller
Foundation, ect. Mr Strong was the behind the scenes person that gave us
the Kyoto Conference, and subsequent conferences. This has nothing
to do with saving the earth, but has everything to do with taxing us into
oblivion and get global governance.

Brahman, what is sad to me is that you appearantly have never existed in a 'free' state of mind or life to understand or notice when those freedoms have be taken away. It is one thing to want to improve the environment and do all you can. It is absolutly another to force everyone around you to choke down your views. Environmentalism is a religion. I believe in and implement sustainable living but would never wish to govern those around me. If Environmentalism is to protect and control, as the savior of the planet's environment, then why not have a global religious initiative? If we are going to morally save mankind's habitat, then why don't we impose better moral standards and save man.Obviously because we think each person deserves free choice. There is an inherent respect that we should give our planet and resources but just as importantly we should give this same respect to our fellow man and their freedoms.

Some in government grab so madly for power that they will create 'crises' to justify taking freedom away from their citizens. This human-induced 'global warming' hoax is only the latest example, and those who have fallen for it are willing to surrender not only their freedom but yours and mine too.

Once you surrender to government the power to dictate what you drive, and at what temperature you must set your thermostat, do you really suppose government will be satisfied?

Will you also surrender to government the power to dictate the size of your family? What about the power to declare that the debate on human-induced climate change 'is over', and stifle free speech and dissent on the issue?

Will you then surrender to government the power to silence your voice in opposition to a candidate with whom you disagree??? If you're an American, you have already surrendered that right...it's called McCain-Feingold.

To those who say the debate on climate-change is over, I say this: You're wrong. It has not even begun.

Look up to the SUN....it's the solar cycles ..that causes these changes.
This happens in very long cycles.

It is a fact that the LONG term charts showed CO2 levels go up preceding temps.

We need to preserve our environment ..Don't get me wrong. Pollution of air and water and other chemical issues are gravely important. We have come a long ways. Generations of children and now yopung adults are very awares.

But market forces and self preservation is prodded by truth and correct information and not force and loss of freedoms and a economic blow.

Don't be misled..please by a agenda that drives social change through politic games.
