Japan is not still waiting. man, this earth is just beyond hope now and I think the people at the top know it. That's why they're spending money like crazy. Printing money we don't have to spend. The scientist were right on target billy Bob.

radical left...Cronkite? your comment shows who won this argument, then, doesn't it?

The "radical capitalists" won. And now you're hooked. Hope you like your drugs

The scare tactics of the radical left never ends. It's always doosday. They probably will still be scaring our great great grandchildren.

The evidence for global warming is overwhelming. It already is happening. Heatwave, hurricanes, floods are becoming more common, the facts are out there.

It's 2011, and we're STILL waiting for peak oil, malthusian catastrophe, global warming disaster, and other things that "scientists" said were supposed to occur decades ago.

Juvenile wing-nuts called Barry Commoner a "commie" back then too. Sadly, times change but stupidity can be forever. Still, as Commoner would argue, being a conservationist is a conservative position.

Good God. Barry Commoner is presented as a mere "biologist"? The guy was a communist. Media bias existed back then but there was no Fox News around to correct it.
