    Where did I comment on this guy's body of work? The statement I made speaks for itself. I don't know him and he's only one of thousands working on this. How you came up with I made a comment about this guy I will never know!

    It's actually considered the premier research facility on 'global warming'.

    First off, Christians don't say the world is only 5,000 years old.

    Second, we aren't the ones who ADMITTED to fudging data.

    meh, the earth has survived alot worse than us...

    it's nothing more than a naturally occurring phenomenom that operates on a timescale much larger than our human lives can grasp, yet because of mankinds ignorance to these celestial cycles, the masses have been duped into giving up more and more of their rights. the planet is changing, that much is for sure, but it's not because of us... mankind is in for a very rude awakening.

    Whether Man-Made Climate change is real or not is irrelevant to me. I think there's merit in shifting to a greener economy.

    Also, pollution-wise, our water is quickly becoming toxic. Regardless of global warming, I don't think it's inappropriate to work on cleaning up our environment.

    Makes sense doesn't it?

    No matter what your opinion is on Global Warming it would seem to follow that you would want a clean world to live in.

    For whatever reason (Money of course) the teabaggers could care less if the air and water is polluted. The govt should have no control in telling people not to pollute!

    nature will repair the enviroment - there is no need for mankind to worry about nature... mankind should be more concerned with taking care of itself now.

    aye... but nature has to get rid of those who are not conscious, first.

    What I find amazing is that Neo Teabaggers want absolutely no govt regulation when it comes to pollution......that is unless someone is polluting a quarter mile from their house!

    These people should visit other parts of the world where no pollution control exist.....they should drink from the local rivers and lakes there.

    i am really not concerned with this issue at all... nature has plenty of ways to rid itself of contaminating diseases and infections such as modern man.

    If a person seems wicked
    do not cast him away -
    Awaken him with your words
    Elevate him with your deeds
    Requite his injury with your kindness
    Do not cast him away
    cast away his wickedness.

    heh, even in areas where pollution control exists, I wouldn't necessarily drink from unfiltered/unboiled sources at this point. Would you drink from the Thames? The Rhein? The St. Lawrence River? The Mississippi? Lakes Eerie or Ontario?
