1 President Bush believes that Global Warming is a fact.

2 President Bush is a moron.

3 You use the President's words when it's convenient to your argument but with everything you disagree with, he's just a liar and only serves the interests of Halliburton and big oil companies.
 
We can only assume that you read the first paragraph to "prove" your point.  There isn't much debate about the existance of global-warming.  The debate, which is all by leftists with no real knowledge of the situation and scientists who have grant dollars to lose, is whether or not it is man-made global warming or naturally occuring.
 
From your source:
 
"[work towards] an effective and science-based response to the issue of global warming."   [Emphasis mine]
 
And one not grounded in baseless-politics and emotion.
 
"... risen by .6 degrees Celsius over the past 100 years" 
[Emphasis mine again]
 
Not exactly shooting up the thermometer there is it? 
 
"There was a warming trend from the 1890s to the 1940s. Cooling from the 1940s to the 1970s. And then sharply rising temperatures from the 1970s to today."
 
This, in spite of the laws enacted such as the outlawing of CFCs - in this country at least.  Other countries?  Not so much.
 
Based on the math, we should start seeing another cooling trend in the next few years.  What will the talking points be when that happens?
 
"There is a natural greenhouse effect that contributes to warming"  [again my emphasis]
 
natural <> man-made - therefore, we have no control over it and no amount of money thrown at the problem will have any effect.
 
"no one can say with any certainty what constitutes a dangerous level of warming"
 
 
If you're going to quote something as your source, it should at least back up your argument.
 
Get back to us on the man-made global-warming talk and how we need to "reduce our carbon footprint" when a majority of the scientists can't agree whether it exists or not.  As long as half are saying it doesn't and that we're just going through a natural phase, I think I would prefer to keep the money in my pocket, thank you.
 
The real kicker is all of Hollywood celebrities preaching to us about what we should be doing while not practicing what they preach.  In their twisted world, flying on their private jets serve the greater good.  I have more respect for Ed Begley, Jr because he, at least, is not a hypocrite.  Maybe looney tunes but not a hypocrite.  I would be curious to hear your views on these hypocrites such as Laurie David and Al Gore.  They're good at telling us how to live as they personally do more harm to this so-called man-made global warming than any 100+ or so regular people in their jets and using more energy in their mansions than everyone on my street.
 
Assuming you work for a living and don't live off the government teet, how much more of your paycheck are you willing to give up to pay for the US to fund the Kyoto protocol?  If  "We account for almost 20 percent of the world's man-made greenhouse emissions" and "account for about one-quarter of the world's economic output", why are we expected to be one of the few to adhere to the treaty and pay an extremely large percentage of the cost while the biggest offenders are not even required to take part?
 
That, my friend, is where liberalism breaks down.  Few people, regardless of their politics, disagree that things like universal health care or some other liberal talking point are necessarily bad things (although partial birth abortion is wrong no matter how you argue it) but every liberal I ask how much of their paycheck they're willing to give up to pay for their favorite social program, their answer is always "none".  They just want it to magically happen.

4 John Ryan is speaking through his belly button again                 
                              USA, all the way!

5 What of the Coolilng World article, JR? The mediots and Democrats and environmentalists were using the same rhetoric, dire predictions of death, starvation and catastrophe, etc. Why should I believe anything they say, especially when there are more than enough scientists (and scientific evidence like Mars warming) refuting the anthropogenic assertion?



Why don't you believe National Geographic, or climatologists or weather experts when they don't tow your line? Because your politics are more important that factual, scientific reality. You believe the "global weather" is getting worse, even though there is no scientific or statistical analysis or evidence to support this assertion anywhere. Algore's slideshow is not "evidence" or anything, and has been rightly refuted by scientists from across the political spectrum. You believe it as an article of faith, therefore making anthro-global warming a dogmatic religion.





John Ryan only shows up when I post Global Warming posts anymore, so I'm really posting these scientific refutations of global warming huxterism it just to irritate him/it.



He and his kind can't stand to see balance to their politics (that's right - the environmental "movement" is about politics and not science), so we're here to provide it. If it were up to them, we'd all be living in mudhuts picking berries constantly somewhere hugging trees while worshiping golden Algore and Clenis idols.

6 Global warming, is the next Y2K. I bet John Ryan bought that too.

7 John Ryan needs to learn from history.

A Cooling World. Newsweek. April 1975.

We've been down this road before.

8 Good Lt and others ... Check out a book (if you can find it) called "ECOLOGY WARS : Enviromentalism, As If People Mattered" By Ron Arnold.  Guy used to be an 'enviromentalist' till the movement got hijacked for political purposes. He is still a conservationist, but disowns the lies and falsified and faked crises that dominate the 'new' movements. It's from 1993, so it may be out of print, BUT IT SHOULDN'T BE!                    USA, all the way!

9 Vehicular traffic on Mars has increased immensely since 1997 - growth rate far exceeds even China.  Of course, it's only up to 2 now.

10 More likly this whole thing is a natural process of the earths climate but liberals are using this as a excuse to create world goverment

11 John Ryan is a sick little commie faggot who allows black muslims to bugger him.
