  When all else fails call somebody that disagrees stupid

  I doubt anybody on this board has actually risked their life to protect the environment from man's pollution, but I have. I walked the walk and still I am unconvinced that the planet is heating up and that CO2 is responsible due to man's use of fossil fuels. For many reasons I am supportive of the idea of weaning ourselves from oil just because of the cost to the environment, the cost to my pocketbook and the every increasing dependency on our friends in the ME.

  I would like to know exactly when the earth was in balance? Give me a date somebody.... I would like to know why at one time Greenland was green and that was o.k, but if it gets that way again it isn't o.k.? I live in a state that was once nothing but a glacier. Now it is farmland, thick forests, and rolling hills. Was it better when it was just a glacier? If we had been alive then would we have gotten out panties in a bunch about the ice sheet melting then? It melted without man's interference and folks things are just fine here.

  Stop linking conservatives with science. I imagine there are lots of scientists that are in fact conservatives on some issues.

  I think this author can't figure out a way to plead his case with facts and thus has resorted to name calling which is often the tactic used when somebody is losing a debate.
