CONSPIRACY!!!

Yeah, I tend to agree that this is how our world and the system works.

I dare say that given your current condition, there is no amount of words that could convince you of environmental change, evolution, earth is round, or any other "best guesses" that we have to work with based on the existing evidence.

Perhaps I was foolish to try.

Gee, you sound exactly like George Bush. "Either you are for me or against me." You are just more wordy about it that 'ol W, who I voted for in 2000 and 2004. Not because he was the best man for the job, but because he was the best selection on the ballot. And the way the Democratic Party is not learning from its mistakes and pandering to the fringes again, it's looking like another Republican vote for Pres from this card carrying Democrat.

That is, of course, unless someone worthwhile runs on the Independent ticket.

Global warming is the wrong topic. There are far too many skeptics whose minds will never be changed.

Instead, we should be talking about the cause: pollution. Everyone can agree that pollution is a bad thing. Rivers poisoned by coal mining runoff so badly that nothing can live in them. DDT showing up in mother's breast milk. Petroleum-based fertilizers that actually strip soils of their nutrients. These are easy to show and prove, and it's easy to demonstrate alternatives to prevent these problems.

Fix pollution and you fix global warming, with nearly everyone's support.

X2. Consider Al Gore, the environmentalist poster child, who is a gross polluter who puts his finances and personal comfort ahead of global warming. He owns a zinc mine that is constantly being fined by the EPA for pollution. It goes on to discuss Gore's connections to the (say it ain't so!!!) petroleum industry. He also has connections to the tobacco industry,, whom he both lobbied against and accepted annual payments from, even after his own sister died of lung cancer caused by smoking. Then there's "Mr Green's" own energy usage. More energy per month than the average American uses per year? And remember that "average American" is that slothful, energy wasting hog that thinks electricity magically appears out of thin air. The average American is the one who sits in front of the fridge with the door open for 10 minutes trying to decide which soda he wants, leaves his engine idling for 30-45 minutes at a time to keep the AC going, leaves the front door open when unloading groceries, ect. Only after heavy exposure to his hypocritical ways did he... increase consumption. Yes, he added a few solar panels and started using a few CFLs, but still started using more juice.

When it's people like Al Gore who are pushing global warming, is it any wonder people doubt it?

Oh no, I'm fairly sure someone who tells someone else they can die and have a great position serving the god of mother earth or be reincarnated as a polar bear to survive the freeeeeeze is insane.

P.s. Your net provider can post up anything they want, doesn't mean it's in any way accurate. That's almost as silly as saying the news has to be factual.

but this is your thread about global warming, and you are talking about medicine, as if it is the other side of the issue?!? We can't look ahead 10 years to see where we are headed?

Let's see if you have been paying attention,

Venus is hot because:
A. Free Will
B. Those damn politicians
C. The greenhouse effect
D. People needing, and dying from, medicine
