hey, al...Jan 28th, 2009 - 22:59:11

you're passe. There's a new crisis this week. It's called the economy farce. Under Bush, the oil companies raped the pocketbooks of the consumers. Now the financial sector says it's their turn to rape your bank account. If a person takes a real, hard look, there isn't much wrong. Yes growth is down. But it is down only about 1.5% That means insted of growing at 6% it is growing at 4.5%. Do you get that? It is still growing. Does anyone else get the feeling we're being lied to - again? This whole thing stinks worse than a pound of Limburger cheese.

Really Al? It's time to start crusading against something else. Sheez!
Climate change has been part of the earth's cycles for at least the past 4,500 years. In all that time the people have just learned to live with it and have gotten along fine. It sometimes baffles me to think that so many in this present generation think that it's up to us to change the weather.
But since the climate is actually cooling down a bit from what it has been, at least he's smart enough to stop calling it 'global warming' and refer to it as a climate change.

'Climate change has been part of the earth's cycles for at least the past 4,500 years'

Say what??????
The Earth is about 4.55 billion years old. Even though it was not habitable for a long period of time, one can safely assume that it has had a climate of some sort for all of those 4.55 billion years. And it has been in a constant state of change. But other than that small error, a good post.

I am wondering if this was the change I really wanted?

Liar, a real 'Lifetime Dem' would not call himself that and would have the brains to understand that it will take more than 9 days to fix 8 years worth of total failure. Get a life, you are not impressing anyone. Again, liar!

For real insight on the validity of the AGW theory, Google the words Pravda and Milankovich and follow the link.

Here's an excerpt from the article in Pravda---

Today we are again at the peak, and near to the end, of a warm interglacial, and the earth is now due to enter the next Ice Age. If we are lucky, we may have a few years to prepare for it. The Ice Age will return, as it always has, in its regular and natural cycle, with or without any influence from the effects of AGW.

The AGW theory is based on data that is drawn from a ridiculously narrow span of time and it demonstrates a wanton disregard for the ‘big picture’ of long-term climate change. The data from paleoclimatology, including ice cores, sea sediments, geology, paleobotany and zoology, indicate that we are on the verge of entering another Ice Age, and the data also shows that severe and lasting climate change can occur within only a few years. While concern over the dubious threat of Anthropogenic Global Warming continues to distract the attention of people throughout the world, the very real threat of the approaching and inevitable Ice Age, which will render large parts of the Northern Hemisphere uninhabitable, is being foolishly ignored.
