Man made

climate change has been proven time and again to be a media driven myth, but some folks just don't know when to quit beating a dead horse. Keep up the good work.

on the contrary

man made climate change is a fact but defining it precisely has been a challenge. Being on the other side of the argument, I can assure you that it has been some time since I heard someone from my side use the term "global warming." What they do talk about is global climate change from the emission of too much greenhouse gases. The result of this emission has several possible outcomes, not one. And this global climate change is observable. and verifiable.

The only verifiable truth about

climate change is that it is and always has been constantly changing. Whether influenced by man's "greenhouse gas" emissions or not, we know the climate is going to change. It's going to get warmer at some point and it's going to get colder at some other point. History is all you need to know. What has been will be again. Greenland, now covered with ice, once had thriving farms. England was once warm enough to grow vineyards. Al Gore and his "Inconvenient Lie" are all about hysteria and scare tactics. And can anyone tell me just what is the ideal thermostat setting for the Earth?

C5, it all depends

You said, "we see prolonged droughts where there were none before." Only if you stop looking at some point in the historical record. Climate change occurs in annual, multi-annual, centennial, multi-centennial, millennial, and epochal cycles. Pick any piece of property, and an archaeologist can tell you all of the varied climates it has experienced over time. Climate changes more drastic than a few degrees swing over 50 years, and all without benefit of a single smokestack or SUV. Antarctica once had teeming forests growing on it. So did the Painted Desert in Arizona. What happened? CLIMATE CHANGE! Change is the only constant.

again, we see new or unique weather patterns, we see very high CO2 levels and we have been pumping a lot CO2 into the atmosphere, and we have models that explain the dynamics of what can occur. The dismissal of all of this by conservatives because of the implications on worship of prosperity shows a refusal to consider facts and logic.

Model, shmodels

In a computer model, there is a rule that is always true and it goes by the acronym GIGO. "Garbage in, garbage out". If the facts are skewed, (and they are in most of the "models"), the output will also be skewed. The fact of the matter is that many scientists are against this farce as I am. No person, scientist or not, has the characteristic of omniscience. What they have is a GREAT BIG GUESS. It's like watching the weatherman on TV except Global Warming scientists have a far worse accuracy record.

again,

what political conservatives seem to be most afraid of is whether their search for personal prosperity negatively affects others. That is why many of them so emphasize personal or individual responsibility and vilify corporate or social responsibility. This fear of how corporate responsibility can act as a governor on seeking prosperity provides an upper limit for how much environmental impact man causes.

If you want to see the biggest internal threat to our country, I suggest you look at the people who ask for the most while refusing accountability: the banking and investment community. And those bailouts they are getting are not socialism, these bailouts are the result of corporate ownership of the gov't because those in the banking and investment community are the ones who fund the campaigns. If it was socialism, then the first set of bailouts would include accountability and ownership, it didn't. The first set of bailouts were giveaways and these giveaways did not pass until tax cuts were added.

No one has to look deep inside for this information, it is transparent. But the bailouts are not that different from how the gov't supported corporations. Only then gov't supported business took place through policies and the Pentagon.

BTW, if you want to look at Socialists as being against the Constitution, and please explain that connection, then I suggest that you look at people like Martin Luther King and Helen Keller as past enemies of the state because they were socialists.

Finally, while we are shivering here, look at how the poles are losing ice and how the permafrost in Siberia and Alaska is melting.

Now It Is Climate Change!!!!!!!!!!

The Goreacle now knows that he can no longer call it "Global Warming". He nows calls it "Climate Change". That way no matter what happens, he can use the weather to "line" his wallet.

Poor "caday5". He, and others, have bought into this nonsense. And they are so arrogantly stupid that they can't admit that they were sold the "Brooklyn Bridge".

For the last 2 years, the Antartic ice gap was growing. This year, the Artic ice cap grew.

Goreacle and his followers cannot explain the "mini-ice age" of the Dark Ages. They cannot explain the "growing" of the Antartic ice cap for the last two years. There is so much they can't explain that rational thinking would tell them they are wrong, or at the very least mis-guided.

But no, they continue on their "merry" way, secure in their fearless leader's ability to "jet set" his "con job" on the world. However, the world's scientists and leaders that oppose the Goreacle are increasing every day. Two years ago, the list was only a few hundred. Now it is over fifty thousand and growing.

Though one can legitimately question the future results of the build up of greenhouse gases in the environment, one cannot deny the build up. Nor can one deny the thawing of the permafrost, the disappearing ice at the North Pole, or the observed changes at the South Pole--the breaking of ice .

Many of those who think that Catastrophic Climate Change is nothing do so because they wish to believe that we can enjoy the use of resources without end without negative repercussions--called live anyway you want to without guilt.

Snow Knight - I doubt that you'd find

many of us who believe that Algore's "Global Warming" is a bunch of crap who wouldn't also agree that our climate will/does change. The question is: what is the cause(s)? And to that question, those who profess to have a definite answer usually construct that "answer" based on their political beliefs. Yes, the climate is changing - the weather in Dallas is changing - what else is new? To take draconian measures to "fix" a possible problem that isn't yet defined is folly and can cause unanticipated results. My 2 cents worth.
