#1 I kind of liked my weather this summer. NE Texas is still nice and green after a (too) wet spring. Only a few days over 100 degrees.
SE Louisiana hasn't been bad either, though hurricane potential remains a risk.
All in all, I think the change I'VE had this year is just fine.

#2 The question here is "To save the planet for whom?".

#4 What happens when Jim Jones goes to the Whitehouse? Next he will be spouting nonsense about being the 12th Imam.

#5 Barack Obama is said to be moving aggressively toward sweeping Executive Authority measures enacted out of a sincere belief by the president that he was chosen to save the planet from the ravages of human progress.

#7 For those who live in Alaska, global warming (or whatever you want to call it) is a fact of life. You can see the glaciers and permafrost melting right before your eyes. But the real story about a glacier is not that it is melting, but where it has been.

The Portage Glacier is located about 50 miles southwest of Anchorage, Alaska. If you climb up to the top of the glacier it becomes obvious that it's southern face once extended at least 200 miles farther south out into what today is the Cook Inlet.
In 1778 Captain James Cook sailed the entire length of the Cook Inlet while searching for the Northwest Passage.
Since the Cook Expedition explored the entire inlet by boat, not snow machine, it is also obvious that the ice covering the Inlet (the Portage Glacier) had began melting long before the year Captain Cook arrived in 1778.

It probably began melting at the end of the little ice age.

If you want to stop the glaciers from melting one question that needs to be answered is: What was the global temperature before the glacier began to melt ?
Was it 5, 10, 20, or even 50 degrees colder than it is today ?

Whatever the answer it would be catastrophic, not only for Alaska, but for all northern regions of the world to lower global temperatures by that degree.

The whole honest truth is that the glaciers have been melting for much longer than there have been human beings living in North America.

The most "inconvenient truth" of all is that any reduction of global temperatures, low enough to stop the glaciers from melting, would drive most living species of the northern regions of the world into extinction.

Global temperatures warm enough to melt the glaciers have been to the great benefit of mankind ever since human beings first appeared on Earth. The loss of those benefits only to save a few packs of ice, or a few hectares of coastline, is pure foolishness.

And those who advocate for lower global temperatures are the most foolish of all.

#8 Also, the ocean eats more than 80% of Carbon Dioxide as it is. They are using their political positions to run a scam like they always do - trying to prove a negative.

So what if there is climate change?

So what?
Move.
