WOW how behind the times you are...Scientific evidence has overwhelmingly started to understand that climate change is simply and directly connected to solar activity...the ony ones still crying climate change have political objectives first before "We the People".

If you are worried about the employment of the good people in Ohio then just reverse the laws you in congress created that chase away business from American shores.

Of course it changes; it's always changing. Any idiot knows that. Voting for this Cap and Trade bill will be the biggest tax hike in the history of this greatest nation on God's green earth. I watched the opening of the House today; you had a minister lead you with prayer. It called for intelligent discernment. Do listen and use your free will -- not Pelosi's will -- to protect us from all the damage that is coming from the extreme liberal left.

Point-by-point:

- I don't "like" climate science, or the fact that we're in for costly and harmful warming.

- Hopefully via an international agreement that will be established in Copenhagen later this year.

- Yes and yes. The greenhouse effect is the only scientifically viable explanation.

- I'd suggest you read the GISTEMP reports. Coincident minima in solar irradiance and the ENSO account for the recent (temporary) cooling.

- Our most-emitting industry (by far) is unable to "offshore".

Science in general is winning out or is science you like winning out? How exactly are we fixing Global Warming? How exactly are we causing it and are we the cause? Carbon emmissions continue to rise annually, yet temps have been dropping for over 10 years. Are we "fixing" anything when we offshore energy-intensive industry to countries without environmental standards? A child could conclude that net pollution would rise in such a scenario. Go ride in Al Gore's limousine motorcade.

Nothing's perfect. Bottom line is that we fixed the ozone problem. Just like we're fixing the global warming problem. Like it or not, science is winning out over ignorance once again.

Really? I Googled Montreal Protocol and found that EU signatories had compliance problems and that China and India got a free license to "pollute" by being "developing nations" same as Kyoto. Have you "Googled" Canada noncompliance with Kyoto? Seems they've fallen short of the holy green grail, hell-for a time even the Japanese were out of compliance with Kyoto. Bloviating? Seems like you meet that description.

[posit3125]

Nobody talks about the ozone layer because we FIXED the ozone layer. Google "Montreal Protocol" and next time consider educating yourself on a subject before bloviating on the internet.

global warming is a SCAM! It doesn,t exist...

this woman is a TRAITOR to the American people.Remember who sold us out when the time comes for REVOLT!

Taxes is what this Cap and Trade bill is all about. PLEASE do not allow Snake Oil Salesman Gore's lies and Pelosi's threats influence you. How many carbon credits will Gore be using to float his bloated body in his private jet across the world selling his lies? Using corn for ethanol has created a food shortage. The world according to many scientists is cooling -- not warming. That's why they changed the rhetoric to 'climate change.'

[122369]

It is now called "climate change" as the words Global Warming turned people off. Where did the funding go for fighting holes in the Ozone layer? That scam is no longer talked about nor is the global cooling scam they railed about over 30 years ago. The same will happen with this hoax. Hey, if it makes you feel better-ride a bike and save the planet.
