30 years ago we had a headsup about oil. "W" is in a line presidents that have done nothing to hinder the economic rape of America since then. What can one think about U.S. leaders? Are they complete idiots, incompetent, or in somebody's pocket? Climate change is a fools errand, an amusement park mirror, chuck'n dust in our eyes. This cold, snow filled, deep ice polar caps winter should put the lie to Gore, W., and company. If we don't open the Alaska fields, we will remain economically dependent on the mullahs' good graces. Jim Cramer will be saying, "Buy stock in Karachi Prayer Rug, Inc."

Somehow the whole thing started out as global warming and the evolved to climate change. This in itself should be enough to indicate that the researchers that back it have a self fulfilling prophecy agenda. Just look at how the numbers and predictions have been shuffled and reshuffled to meet certain fear criteria. I first read that as governor, President Bush has a record of coming in strong and then compromising at the end. This should not be compromise. The U.N. is political organization, not a scientific organization. It has proven to be bureaucratic, ineffective and at end, corrupt. Placing them in charge of controlling the climate would ensure funding of the self perpetuating cycle of those characteristics. A wrong investment here, based on consensus will have global economic and political impacts that will act as "norming" influences on the constitutional rights of every U.S. citizen. He needs to leave a legacy that ensures we are taking the right for democracy and not global socialism.

I hate all this global warming or climate change junk.

How long has the world been around? How many 1,000s of years?

You ever hear the great George Carlin skit on global warming? It's great. He's says God created humans and eventually we'll go away like every other animal. God just wanted plastic which he needed Humans to make. Great, great bit.

So basically in the last 100 or 200 years, we've drastically hurt the Earth's atmosphere? Yea, right. Sounds like a hippie argument.

President Bush is the ultimate skilled politician. Remember before him, when Congress battled unceasingly about Global Warming. The Democrats and Republicans duked it out wasting precious time and money that they could have spent elsewhere. Then, in came one of the greatest American Presidents and completely defused this retarded issue by "agreeing" that Global Warming is a "threat" and making bold statements about our efforts to correct the problem, but pushing the issue down a reasonable path: Technological solutions, vice ridiculous emissions caps and taxes. The ultimate goal, to get us off foreign oil, is a very legitimate goal and the second greatest scam of the century after the 2000 computer bug, GLOBAL WARMING was the perfect WMD that he could use to sell his technology advancement plan as well as placate to some degree the mother nature religious leftist fanatics. Well, I hope this WMD doesn't come back to bite him in the end, since it is a complete farse, but either way, at least he is smart enough to use the watered down phrase "climate change" so as to protect himself either way when we have cold spells or warm spells. That in and of itself tells me, he probably chuckles to himself every time he makes a speech on the issue. Larry, compromise is the name of the game. Just thank God President Bush compromises on these stupid little issues and not on our national security, right to life, 2nd ammendment, conservative judges, etc. Yeah he spends tons of money, but I'd rather pay money to kill terrorists now, than pay with the lives of my children later. I'll forgive him for that extravagance.

The problem with opening the door to global warming or climate change or whatever you want to call it, based on consensus and non-deterministic analysis is the number of degrees of freedom relativism provides. It's like the Social Security lockbox (lockbox riiight!). President Bush is not president for life and therefore he cannot control those things that he started once he is out of office. He may have put some constraints like technology on global warming, but those are easily removed by his successor. Be there no doubt, if the U.S. adopts global warming an any form what so ever, it will become a path to global socialism (or global governance as Chirac put it) through and energy consumption tax. First the carbon footprint and then when we solve that problem, a BTU footprint. And you can be assured there will be a politician in charge.

I accept that global warming exists. Knowing how to accurately discern the myriad causes is far more difficult. My uncertainly is shared by the global warming community to the extent that many are seeking higher funding for climate change research. Since global warming entails climate change, I see no distinction between the two.

I am wondering if seeking a solution is practical, affordable, or doable. Perhaps humanity would do better to adjust to the changes, which in any case are not yet definable on a local geographical area.

President Bush thankfully is on his last lap of ruining America and in fact is headed for the home stretch and none too soon! His regime will go down in history as the most corrupt since General Grant and his croonies. Students for decades will study all the things his regime did to ruin their chances of having a decent job. Burger flipppers and Wal-Mart clerks pretty much sums up their career paths, unfortunately. Sadly, this fake president is totally clueless of the horrible damage he has done to America because his handlers have always kept him in the dark, while Cheney plotted strategy along with the king of all misfits, Karl Rove.

Anthropogenic Warming (A.W.) is not established to the extent many think. A consensus is not a substitute for a proven event. The probabilistic modeling used to predict climate changes are scenarios and only as good as the parameters & defined variables in the model.
Case in point:
Anthony Watts is a broadcast meteorologist who is leading an all-volunteer effort to photograph and document all of the weather stations in the GHCN. He started in the US and now 1/3 of US stations have been photographed. 85% of them do not meet the minimum standards of NOAA and have a strong warm bias. This indicates that up to half of the observed warming is not real. Watts presented his findings to scientists at UCAR. You can see his presentation here:

The pro A.W. camp claims to have accounted for Sun's effect by measuring Radiant Output. They totally exclude on these models, the strength of the Sun's Magnetic Field which impacts on the ability of cosmic rays interacting with the Earth's atmosphere & the resulting generation of clouds in the upper atmosphere greatly affect the Earth's albedo.

It's from paramount importance to recognize, that we need a change now!

We are all not quite sure, what will happen in future with the climate change and within the environment.

We need to think about the next generation(s), because they will have to life with our pollutions a sesequents.

Take a look to Germany:

The Kyotoprotocol: Germany said they want to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions until 2012 up to 21 % in the view of the carbon dioxide emissions in 1990.

Until today, they achieved to reduce 20.4 % of the 21 %.

And now it is Americas turn to help the world, because America is responsible for 25 % of the world's emissions.

That great the step forward of Germany is that low effect it has if only the little countries take part.

Regards!

Oh, my God,global warming is really a nonissue.

In reality, it's just else people can complain about. Obama's running his whole campaign on people overly complaining about the government.

McKinley was assassinated when he was President. Is he a saint, too?
