@detoth67 want to know something funny? Phil Jones, one of the major scientists at the IPCC involved in Climategate, admitted about 2 weeks ago that there hasn't been any statstically significant warming since 1995. He also admitted that we've had statistically insignificant cooling since 2002. Basically though, we're the same temperature now as we were 15 years ago. He also dropped at least two other bombshells during that interview. Look up the medieval warming period for starters.

Arkaham, Yes and engineer. This is a technical issue that can be solved. Politics is not where the solutions are. Pols just make things worse. Wake up...

Actually, Bush Sr signed the NAFTA agreement with Canada and Mexico, Nixon and Reagan pushed for it hard.

Oxygen isn't even in the global warming equation. Maybe you should learn about topics before attempting to discuss them. Stop reading con blogs for science information it makes you look ridiculous

Actually, the cooling concept of the 70s caused the hole in the ozone. It was caused by aerosols, AC freon and other particulate matter in the atmosphere it not only cased the hole in the ozone layer (which allowed heat to escape) but the particulate matter reflected sunlight back out into space.

Government action limited it's effects. Thanks for bringing up a great example of how govt action can make a difference.

You seem to have forgotten about the scare of the coming ice age in the seventies... or maybe your too young to remember... We were all supposed to be frozen already... If you really believe the food plants need to produce oxygen is a pollutant then prey for cap and trade and start paying tax to an international entity. .go to gerrycharlottephelps dot c o m open your mind from the gore BS. Remember, gore was pushing NAFTA, even obama admits it was a failure. please dont be fooled by bs

Oh wow! An engineer! Surely an antisocial asperger-riddled libertarian will usher in a new era of environmental homeostasis!

[detoth67]

Yeah, it's such a hoax that the melting polar ice caps are in on the lie. Damn, those ice caps. They already drank AL Gore's Kool Aid!

The migrating birds changed their patterns because they are support the overthrow of capitalism and install a Stalinst regime!

The polar bears are drowning themselves as Martyrs for the Marxist revolution!

It all mades sense now. MORON!
