		<description>Never said I agree with them, Johan.  But if this is a humongous conspiracy, it will be an exceedingly difficult one to take down.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Every major scientific organization attributes Global Warming to manmade CO2, for now.

 And do they also attribute global warming in the middle ages to mankind?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;2. Almost no useful chemicals: &lt;strike&gt;virtually&lt;/strike&gt; all organic chemicals non-existent so there could be no medicines, fuels, pesticides, refrigerants, paints, plastics, etc.

Fixed point 2 for you.  Sorry, as an organic chemist I had to....&lt;em&gt;As organic chemistry is the chemistry of carbon, no carbon equals no organic compounds equals no life as biochemistry is a subset of organic chemistry.&lt;/em&gt;  Silicon is thought by some, mostly very bad science fiction writers, to be a substitute for carbon when it comes to life.  After all it is directly below carbon on the periodic table so its chemistry should be similar.  Well Si forms mostly single bonds with oxygen and not double bonds while Si=Si and bonds are extremely labile outside, and in many cases in, an inert atmosphere and Si-Si  chains and rings are not as prevalent as C-C chains and rings.</description>

		<description>Unhappy people DO get attention &amp; make the decisions. People who are well-adjusted &amp; happy with their lives don&#039;t find time to ruminate on disasters, bad things, etc...
Happy people go on with their lives &amp; it is true, many of them don&#039;t take the time to vote. 
I hate having to vote for a bad candidate vs a bad candidate. But I go anyway because there are other things at stake, like Supreme Court seats! Like it or not they&#039;re the ones now who seem to be making legislation. 
Global Warming will go down the toilet as any intelligent scientist will probably agree. Consensus is NOT what science is about. Science is factual &amp; all the people in the world could believe in CO2 as the cause &amp; it won&#039;t change the fact that CO2 has NEVER been proven to cause changes in the weather. 
Weather on our planet is too chaotic to be able to predict with a lot of accuracy.Too many variables to consider.  Please refer to the accuracy of all your local weather reports.
Milankovitch cycles along with solar cycles are probably a sure bet as to the MAJOR contributors of ANY kind of climate change in the planet&#039;s history.
It is up to global warming freaks to PROVE SCIENTIFICALLY that CO2 is directly CAUSING rising temps. in ALL levels of the atmosphere.If they can&#039;t put up, they need to shut up.
They can&#039;t so childishly they are basically pouting &amp; yelling &quot;I&#039;m right because I said so!&quot;</description>

		<description>It&#039;s no longer the Republican Party.  It&#039;s the McCain Party.  Just remember that who you select as your Party&#039;s leader has everlasting effects on the principals of your Party.  

If the majority of GOPers do not subscribe to the philosophy of man-made global warmer yet our Party Platform states we do, what does that mean?.....

That means that a majority of GOPers can finally admit they&#039;re a bunch of do-nothing lemmings that go along to get along, have their a$$ handed to them while their Party leaders sign onto the Kyoto Treaty, have their businesses regulated into the ground, and pretend to like it.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Dihydrogen monoxide what the government hasn’t been telling us.
coldwarrior on August 27, 2008 at 10:13 AM&lt;/blockquote&gt;
    Don&#039;t forget they use that in nuclear power plants,   and they use alot of it in other chemical production.   Its also found in chemical fertilizer, where it eventually flows into our lakes and rivers.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Dihydrogen monoxide&lt;/strong&gt; what the government hasn&#039;t been telling us.

Yet another government cover-up abetted by Congress...dihydrogen monoxide has been implicated in the deaths of thousands of Americans every year, mainly through accidental ingestion. In gaseous form, it can cause severe burns.  The chemical is so caustic that it accelerates the corrosion and rusting of many metals,  it is a major component of acid rain, and has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer patients.  Symptoms of ingestion include excessive sweating and urination, and for those who have developed a chemical dependency on dihydrogen monoxide, complete withdrawal means certain death.

The Dems do nothing...while the presence of the chemical has been confirmed in every river, stream, lake and reservoir in America. 

Maybe the GOP should trake the lead on this one?</description>

		<description>The earth has been cooling for ten years now and people are still talking about global warming, do they have their heads stuck in the sand or what? The most recent warm year was 1998, but even 1998 was not the hottest year on record, the hottest year on record was back in the 1930&#039;s. And the &quot;record&quot; itself only goes back 200 years and does not include much warmer periods and much colder periods of the recent past. 

Global warming only exist in the minds of those who want to tax the crap our of us for producing CO2. YOU CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT PRODUCING CO2. WE EXHALE CO2, AND CO2 IS WHAT PLANTS BREATH. CO2 IS TOTALLY HARMLESS AND A REQUIREMENT FOR LIFE TO BE SUSTAINED ON THE PLANET. CO2 HAS &lt;strong&gt;LESS&lt;/strong&gt; ABILITY TO CAPTURE HEAT INTO THE ATMOSPHERE THAN EITHER WATER VAPOR OR OXYGEN. 

The climate does and has always changed and will continue to do so no matter how much money you send or do not send to Al Gore. The output of the sun is not constant, it varies slightly on a well known cycle. These variations in the sun&#039;s output are responsible for climate change not CO2.

Republicans listen up, global warming is a hoax. Just because Al Gore has spent millions on propagation of this hoax does not make it any less a hoax. Wake up please, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.congresscheck.com/2008/08/21/2008-coolest-for-at-least-five-years/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;2008 is the Coolest Year for At Least Five Years and is on track to be the coolest year of the decade&lt;/a&gt;!! Republicans... please wake up.</description>

		<description>Meh.

I don&#039;t believe in AGW, but the platform statements seem politically well worded to me.  I don&#039;t think it alienates those like me, and it gives a nod to those who believe it&#039;s all our fault.  It sticks to the basic principle that conservatives don&#039;t believe in over-dedicating resources to the problem at this time.</description>

		<description>Joe Bastardi, AccuWeather&#039;s senior meteorologist, &lt;a href=&quot;http://regularguys.typepad.com/the_regular_guys_show/2007/02/being_joe_basta.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;makes the point&lt;/a&gt; that if it&#039;s consensus you&#039;re using to establish scientific validity, then look not to any consensus of sociologists, scientists, environmentalists, or historians, but to the opinions of meteorologists, since they&#039;re the ones most qualified on the issues. And among meteorologists, most doubt man-made global warming.

&lt;blockquote&gt;...most meteorologists, such as, perhaps, our own swashbuckling appreciator of large vegetables, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.myfoxatlanta.com/myfox/pages/InsideFox/Detail?contentId=317127&amp;version=8&amp;locale=EN-US&amp;layoutCode=TSTY&amp;pageId=5.3.1&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Fox 5&#039;s Ken Cook&lt;/a&gt;, have taken a stand of doubting global warming and it&#039;s political agenda and this is driving environmental activists, such as &lt;a href=&quot;http://climate.weather.com/blog/9_11592.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Witch Doctor Heidi Cullen&lt;/a&gt; of the Weather Agenda Channel, completely batshit to the point that she proposed &lt;a href=&quot;http://climate.weather.com/blog/9_11396.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;revoking the certification&lt;/a&gt; of any meteorologist who dares disagree with the oxymoronic &quot;consensus science&quot; on global warming. This would have the desired effect of having said TV weatherperson effectively blackballed from broadcasting his brand of weather shockery over our public airwaves.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

So how did the myth of &#039;consensus&#039; come about? Holman Jenkins examines the process in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.opinionjournal.com/columnists/hjenkins/?id=110010947&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;The Science of Gore&#039;s Nobel:
What if everyone believes in global warmism only because everyone believes in global warmism?&lt;/a&gt;, in the Wall Street Journal Online.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Joe Bastardi, AccuWeather&#8217;s senior meteorologist, <a href="http://regularguys.typepad.com/the_regular_guys_show/2007/02/being_joe_basta.html" rel="nofollow">makes the point</a> that if it&#8217;s consensus you&#8217;re using to establish scientific validity, then look not to any consensus of sociologists, scientists, environmentalists, or historians, but to the opinions of meteorologists, since they&#8217;re the ones most qualified on the issues. And among meteorologists, most doubt man-made global warming.</p>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;the platform acknowledges that human activity has contributed to global warming: &quot;The same human activity that has brought freedom and opportunity to billions has also increased the amount of carbon in the atmosphere. Increased atmospheric carbon has a warming effect on the earth.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Really, can you reference the scientific consensus where this was agree on and please don&#039;t say Al Gore&#039;s movie.

&lt;blockquote&gt;anuts on August 27, 2008 at 7:24 AM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Believe me, I&#039;m quite familiar with all of the skeptical scientists and all of that.  This is one of the most comprehensive list of websites that there is on all things AGW = BS:
&lt;a href=&quot;http://z4.invisionfree.com/Popular_Technology/index.php?showtopic=2050&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;The Anti &quot;Man-Made&quot; Global Warming Resource&lt;/a&gt;

I&#039;m glad you called me out on the use of the word &quot;Every,&quot; Col.   I was hesitant to use it at first, and I know that there are thousands of skeptical scientists, but I believe that when it comes to government policy, as idiotic as this is, the word of an organization, like the IPCC, simply counts for more.  

That is the main reason that I&#039;ve decided to stop playing the &quot;cover my ears&quot; game, because I really don&#039;t believe that people will ever come around until we have another 10 or 20 years without an increase in temperature.  There&#039;s simply no conceivable way to convince them otherwise.   No amount of real science can compete with the image of a swimming polar bear (even though all polar bears swim).   In the meantime, while the moronic governments of the world clamber over themselves with the perfect opportunity, the perfect excuse, to instill global socialism, something that will never be undone, ..in the meantime, small government supporters need to have a voice in this debate, no matter how stupid.  

As the temperatures continue to stay the same and the Doom and Gloom forecasts look increasingly foolish, the scientists will take a second look, and this will all be finished.  I believe that there needs to be real voices in support of this second look, but the government is not going to wait, they simply don&#039;t listen to the people, they listen to organizations.  We need to be sure that we have enough people in there who don&#039;t want global socialism, and if it means admitting that people might be responsible for GW (we&#039;re not), then so be it.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Every major scientific organization attributes Global Warming to manmade CO2, for now. 

jimmy the notable on August 27, 2008 at 3:15 AM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I believe the number of scientists, experts, etc. that dissents is larger than you may know.

&quot;&quot;I suspect you haven’t heard it because the mass media did not report it, but I am not alone on the no man-made warming side of this issue.  On May 20th, a list of the names of over thirty-one thousand scientists who refute global warming was released.  &lt;strong&gt;Thirty-one thousand of which 9,000 are Ph.D&#039;s.&lt;/strong&gt;  Think about that.  Thirty-one thousand.  That dwarfs the supposed 2,500 scientists on the UN panel.&quot; &quot;-John Coleman at link below:

http://www.kusi.com/weather/colemanscorner/19842304.html

&lt;blockquote&gt;If we support GOP solutions, free market solutions, then when GW is proven to be hysterical, we will not have destroyed our economy in the process of preventing it. We need to have a voice in this.

jimmy the notable on August 27, 2008 at 3:15 AM
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Respectfully, I disagree. It seems to me, that disagreeing with a premise negates responsibility for finding a &#039;solution&#039;. Solutions are for problems. When one doesn&#039;t exist, neither can the other. The only voice worth having in the debate (so-called) is to fight it.</description>

		<description>Jimmy,
Watch the use of the word EVERY.
Seems some real folks and a few in the fields of science, business, and ag have a different take on GW and the human part.Some pretty good folks think GW may be solar driven and some even foresee a cooling trend.
The nice thing about old age is I remember tha last six or eight scares., starting with Orson and The War of The Worlds,last biggie was Y2K.
