#1 Calling CO2, pollution is quite the most bizzare nonsense of my lifetime.

The good news, apart from the fact global warming isn't happening (which is good news only to the extent global cooling is seriously bad news), is that GW is a sure fire election loser for the Left, once people see how much it is going to cost them.

#2 It should be clearly stated that MMGW is not based in science, or even anecdotal reality, but in philosophy and religion.

Like science fiction, it began with an unproven theory. But unlike scientific theories, the theory was built upon before it had any basis in proven fact. To make matters intolerable, the theory had to accept greater and greater assumptions that were nonsensically improbable.

The big one being that a trace amount, of a trace gas, could leverage a truly immense system. The mite could force the mouse to direct the course of the elephant.

That is, a fraction of the CO2 in the atmosphere is created by man, but that it would somehow strongly impact the far greater amount of natural atmospheric CO2, which in turn is still only found in trace amounts in the truly immense atmosphere full of water vapor in various forms.

The only way this could be supported was through the use of "feedback loops", of which a dozen have been proposed.

But none of these feedback loops have ever been proven.

And the models used to predict the future are insane, as with the previous illustration, they do not take into account the elephant, only the mite and the mouse.

Cloud cover which dictates over 90% of heat reflection or retention ignored, because it is too complicated to figure out.

#3 If fossil fuels indeed are (fossil, that is) where did all this carbon come from in the first place, if not the air?

#4 Well, it certainly didn't all happen in the last eight years so it makes me wonder where all these alarmists were when Clinton was in the White House. It makes me wonder if the real problem is they just can't stand George Bush. I mean, why didn't Al Gore ever say anything about it until after that mean, old George Bush stole the election?

#5 Dammit, can't believe the White House didn't tell me last week it would be 75 and rainy this morning. I demand an emergency meeting at the golf course to consider inbeechwood procedings at once!

#6 I wouldn't trust Barbara Boxer to clean my friggin toilets. Using Harry Reid's face.

#8 If fossil fuels indeed are (fossil, that is) where did all this carbon come from in the first place, if not the air?

Several hundred million years ago. Since then it's been continuously cycled into rocks and back into the air by volcanos.

BTW, its looking like water vapour from dams and irrigation is the biggest manmade influence on climate.

#9 Iff one believes that a POTUS OBAMA Admin will rsult in SOCIALISM IN AMERICA 2008-2012, as many Netters believe, ITS ALL THE MORE REASON FOR THE SO-CALLED ISLAMIST "HIDDEN-IMAM-MAHDI" TO APPEAR AND DEFEAT OR DESTROY THE US MIL PRESENCE + AGENDA IN THE ME.

Nothing can scare Amer Politicians and mainstream Amer voters like a HIGH-PROFILE, MAJOR AMER MIL DEFEAT + OTHER CATASTROPHE.

ADD TO NEWSVINE > FUTURE HEAT WAVE TEMPERATURES TO RISE + TOPIX > LATE SUNSPOT CYCLE ["24"] MAY MEAN STRONGER SOLAR FLARES LATER.

D *** NG IT, PEOPLE, EVEN THE SUN IS DOING ITS PART/WANTS ISLAMIST NUKES-APOCALYPSE + AMERIKAN SOCIALISM 2008-2012 - LETS GET WID THE PROGRAM! DON'T FORCE ME TO TELL BARRY "SUPERMAN" BOSTWICK TO YANK OFF HIS EYEGLASSES, OR MICHELLE TO UNSHEATH HER LECTURE FINGER, D *** YOU!
