Lol, what do you expect from an Oil and Gas shill. Go ahead Joe tell America the truth about global warming. Just don't forget to disclose the disclaimer at the bottom of your speech, "this is a paid political advertisement from Exxon/Mobil. lol

Here are words you can get from the word Republican; cans, bar, lies, pelicans, public, leans, rubics cube, sale, curb.

Here is how they are used; Republicans would love to CAN everyone as they stand in a BAR and keep repeating their LIES to the PUBLIC. They are a group that LEANS on their lies and make everything out to be a RUBICS CUBE while they put the nation up for SALE and kick the middle class to the CURB. And lets not forget those poor PELICANS killed by BP because of the GOP.

@adevezar Althought I agree we are creating this monster and unfortunately

(and I include myself in this) We are going the wrong way about convincing people to become more efficient. (Efficiency = Green). If we could find a way to create competition between business in such a way the they needed to be more efficient that would be environmental. Also we need to stop claiming how bad it is and what we need to give up and show how much money can be saved and how our security will be improved.

@neib83

The fact is that we are all creating this monsters

As dumb as this guy is, I want to point out that global warming is not only still a theory, but the theory says that it is the ENHANCEMENT of the greenhouse effect, and the natural ice age cycles of the Earth. So yes, global warming is almost definately occurring because of humans, but adaptation will be an important part of dealing with it, as well as cutting CO2 and other emissions.

@adevezar The world also did not need humans to survive for the past 6 billion years. Should we eliminate all humans?

[adevezar]

Global warming is only propaganda by those who don't care about what is in front of their eyes but for a massive cause called planet.

The planet surelly don't need Al gore. The planet survied till now without Al Gore.

Well but if you whant to worry, worry.

Is a decision of yours not mine.
