I've never had a doubt about the entire Global Warming scam. Shame on those who bought into this junk science and lies. Would it be nice to have cities such as Los Angeles, with cleaner air? Heck yes! But is it really necessary to make up false science to falsely maintain that such excessive emissions are destroying the planet? Everyone desires a clean and livable planet, but we don't need to have lives controlled by lunatic liberals.

If you actually read the emails, or the subjects, they confirm that a cooling cycle exists. Everyone knew this before this "bomb" dropped, it's not breaking news that the earth's tempature goes through cycles. The issue here is that we are are raising the Sine curve and distorting it greatly. The earth is still being killed by greenhouse gases and if anything a stronger stance on climate change is needed. I will post a few links here but I would like to state the following:
Male Passenger PigeonPassenger Pigeons (Ectopistes Migratorius) were once so numerous that by some estimates they outnumbered all the rest of the birds in North America combined.
American settlers caused the extinction of these animals in less than 100 years, we are part of the earth and we change the earth, yes humans have the capability of impacting the planet.
Lastly, Al Gore, the real winner of the 2000 election and a Nobel Prize Winner will not need to recant his position.

So, like the pigeons, we killed the buffaloes, big deal, its called "evolving".

Over the past 20 years, this country and its citizens have gone to great lengths to clean up the environment from the abuses of the industrial boom from the middle of the last century. Rivers, lakes, and metropolitan air quality are all much cleaner than 20 years ago. There's no question that we desire a clean and healthy environment, but there's no need to be extremist about it. The "sky is falling" mentality just won't work with the millions of us who actually do have some common sense.

Actually, its been proven that Al Gore did NOT win the 2000 election. He couldn't dupe us then, even though he continues to rake in millions of dollars by convincing his sheep that they're causing global warming. He's laughing all the way to the bank at how easy it has been to deceive his own followers.

Common...a couple of questions for you:

1) Who was responsible for the extinction of the dinosaur?
2) Who was responsible for the onset of the ice age?
3) Who was responsible for the glaciers melting?

If you can give me a coherent answer that makes sense, I will gladly consider your point about pigeons.

Can I answer your questions with rhetorical questions as well? I stated that everyone already knows that the earth goes through cycles. I thought the right didn't believe in dinosaurs, or maybe that's just Palin that calls them Jesussaurs? Just kidding, but seriously, I fully admit that the Earth goes through cooling and warming periods naturally and has for millions of years. Now, what will be the effect to those cycles, and how will those cycles affect our children is yet to be seen.
