    I'll buy in when the Earth is actually warming!!!

    It's amazing that you baptized members of the church of global warming continue to peddle your snake oil while the earth is actually cooling.

    Your own "scientists" admit that the hottest known period of the last 200 years was in the 1930's. Your own "scientists" admit that the earth has been cooling since 1997.

    I'm not denying that the natural ebbs and flows of the earth temperature may be connected to human activity. However, before you try weather forcasting 50 years out there needs to be some evidence that the globe is warming and not cooling.

    You same wackos were falling all over yourselves in the 1970s about human caused global cooling for Hell's sakes. Doesn't give you much credibility does it.

    Of course, everyone knows that we need new energy sources in the future to keep our economy growing at the rate of the last century. No one is denying that. As oil prices rise the problem will fix itself as these sources of energy become economically feasible.

    It is impossible to understand how legislation resulting in th single largest tax increase in world history is going to solve the alternative energy problem. You got it right that human beings are a lot less concerned about the environment when their economies, livihood, and standards of living are declining.

    Go back to the USSR or Venezuela where you came from. In the meantime by Diesel pickup is running
