Maybe warming is happening, maybe it's not.
If so, doubtlessly much more of a natural cycle than humanly induced.
Go back to 1976 (I believe) and you'll find the same group of politicians and 'scientists' touting the coming 'Ice Age' on the cover of Time magazine. And, of course, we all know thirty years in the history of the earth is but a nanosecond.
The whole issue is 99.9% political. algore and his ilk are getting rich off the response of the lemmings. Further, the leftists/socialists are licking their greedy chops over the possibilities of much greater government control of people and their lifestyles and of the potential of huge tax implications.
Much more significant problems than our lifestyles are the overpopulation and unbridled, unregulated development in the third world and the latter in China, India, and elsewhere. We've gone miles further in environmental stewardship than the vast majority of the world, let them catch up.
I'm tired of the US always having to fund the world and make all the sacrifices. Let the rest of the world carry some responsibility as well.
