    And.... 2012 was the hottest year on record.... Oh yea... if you dig deeper... it was also one of the coldest ever. But when you read from both sides you only get one side of the story. Its all BS from both sides of the coin. 2010 was the coldest year since 86.... I thought we were getting warmer??

    I had a hard line, right wing religious fanatic give me the whole "What if you're wrong?" speech the other day about religion. Wouldn't I want to be on the safe side? (Absolutely horrible arguement) I asked her the same question regarding Global Warming. Amazing how she tried to tap dance around that one.

    Again, at the basic level we are talking about using less fossil fuels, recycling, less polution, ect. You know....basically leaving the rock we live on a little nicer than how we received it. Yet, the arrogance and selfishness of the indivdual and the now continues to shine through.

    Convince the ever more consuming, fossil fuel gobbling, money grubbing, spokesman for the cause, Al Gore into that and the rest of us will follow suit.

    Continuing to deny personal responsibility by using the "he did it first" argument, its like kindergarten with the earth's future at stake.

    Forget global warming. How about oil spills, pollution, smog, acid rain, etc. How about toxic wastes, land fills,water contamination, massive decreases in shoreline oxygen producing algaes. I can think of tons of reasons to take better care of our planet. You can only come up with a few to keep polluting it!

    I would agree with you on every one of those issues. And everyone of those issues has been studied and proven and we, but for lack of money, can address each of them successfully. However, man-made global warming (CO2 based argument) has never been proven. And it would seem to me that those who believe in it are denying real science. JMO

    I'm certainly not "right wing" as most would have it, but I am a religious fanatic of sorts, and I can give you plenty of Biblical reasons to take care of the environment to use on her the next time, too.
