Every night on any of the several science, learning, or other similar cable TV stations, there is at least one program on some dig for ancient life.

In every one of these shows, the chief scientist points to bones, fossils and other things uncovered and to the soil levels of the dig, and then mentions the various global cooling and heating cycles over the many millions of years.

It's amazing that SUVs and incandescent light bulbs have been around for millions of years. If only prehistoric man had a cap and trade system they might not have had to migrate all over the planet in response to the heating and cooling eras.

From Paul Ehrlich, author of The Population Bomb, in a statement celebrating the first Earth Day, 1970, April 22, (the 100th anniversary of the birth of Vladimir Lenin).

"Between 1980 and 1984 four billion people around the world, including 65 million Americans, will starve to death."

Earth Day 1970 provoked a torrent of apocalyptic predictions. "We have about five more years at the outside to do something," ecologist Kenneth Watt declared to a Swarthmore College audience on April 19, 1970. Harvard biologist George Wald estimated that "civilization will end within 15 or 30 years unless immediate action is taken against problems facing mankind." "We are in an environmental crisis which threatens the survival of this nation, and of the world as a suitable place of human habitation," wrote Washington University biologist Barry Commoner in the Earth Day issue of the scholarly journal Environment. The day after Earth Day, even the staid New York Times editorial page warned, "Man must stop pollution and conserve his...

Scientists have found other indications of global cooling. For one thing there has been a noticeable expansion of the great belt of dry, high-altitude polar winds —the so-called circumpolar vortex—that sweep from west to east around the top and bottom of the world. Indeed it is the widening of this cap of cold air that is the immediate cause of Africa's drought. By blocking moisture-bearing equatorial winds and preventing them from bringing rainfall to the parched sub-Sahara region, as well as other drought-ridden areas stretching all the way from Central America to the Middle East and India, the polar winds have in effect caused the Sahara and other deserts to reach farther to the south. Paradoxically, the same vortex has created...

As they review the bizarre and unpredictable weather pattern of the past several years, a growing number of scientists are beginning to suspect that many seemingly contradictory meteorological fluctuations are actually part of a global climatic upheaval. However widely the weather varies from place to place and time to time, when meteorologists take an average of temperatures around the globe they find that the atmosphere has been growing gradually cooler for the past three decades. The trend shows no indication of reversing. Climatological Cassandras are becoming increasingly apprehensive, for the weather aberrations they are studying may be the harbinger of another ice age.

Telltale signs are everywhere —from the unexpected...

Progressive thinkers waste too much of their time and resources trying to sound intellectual and by doing so they over-complicate basic truths. You posted a lengthy response, but you fail to recognize the simple and plain truth that a war was fought that freed our slaves. The motives are irrelevant. The fact is that blacks were set free 150 years ago. What does it matter whether or not the North meant to do so. Blacks profited from the violent deaths of over 600,000 whites, even if that profit was only a by-product of the war.

You also refuse to face the mathematical truth that blacks have been more than compensated for the legacy of slavery. We’ll gladly give you the mule and 40 acres of ground if you’ll give us the...

Has anyone identified the evil whites who forced those black kids in Detroit to sneak up on some school students and gun them down?

No doubt the cause of this senseless crime is racism.

To argue that what happened 40, 50 or 100 years ago continues to keep you down is to simply excuse your own efforts to achieve.

America has paid reparations. If anything, we're due a refund. America fought a civil war to free its slaves, something never, ever done by any civilization in history. America's ruling majority voluntarily legislated and litigated its power away and handed over to its former slaves. America has taken an ungodly amount of wealth from innocent, productive citiznes and handed it over to people who refuse to take care of themselves. We have endured this since 1965 without riots, mayhem or another civil war.

We provide free eduacation, free health care, free food, free housing, and legal aid to...

Why do immigrants for all over the world, many who arrive here with nothing, become prosperous and self-sustaining within one generation, while blacks are still impoverished and last in all measures of success, even after the largest transfer of wealth in the history of the planet and after 150 years of gaining their freedom?

We have passed laws that mandate they win in every dispute. We have established Federal and state agencies, paid for almost exclusively by the white, tax-paying majority, that will confiscate money and property any time blacks feel victimized, that ensure they are never turned down for jobs or promotions and that force employers to give them all sorts of preferences in the work place. A myraid of safety...

Hey Glenn in Kentucky. Check out California where everyone gets everything free. You're going to see how well that works.

Liberals are mental defectives and dangerous to our welfare.
