I signed it.

It always kills me that something like heavy snowfall triggers a "global warming is a hoax" crowd, but rediculously hot temperatures keeps them quit. I subscribe to the climate change theory. This means that you can have warming and freakish winters or strange erradic weather in general, i.e. record snowfalls after a record hot summer.

Thank you, gaiboi. The voice of reason.
Global warming triggers climate change. Which does not mean it is hot all the time everywhere. Why is that so hard to understand?

Does the phrase "as changeable as the weather" mean anything to y'all?

I've been working outside for the last 13 years. Weather reports? If I go outside and my hair gets wet, it's raining. If I go out and start sweating, it's hot. If I go out and start shivering, it's cold...and so on.

When someone can tell me what the weather will be next week (or even tomorrow) I will think about listening to what they say about the long-term forecast. (And I'm not sure what it will take to make me consider a former VPs credibility as a meteorologist...)

AL: GORE TAKES MASS TRANSIT TO PICK UP PEACE PRIZE!!! Go Albert!

But did the public (the masses of "Mass Transit") get to ride or did Secret Service clear the train?

Let me see if I understand this. Al Gore has a theory that the emission of CO2 as a byproduct of fossil fuel combustion results in increased global temperatures. He has parlayed this theory into a movie, a lucrative speaking tour and a Nobel prize. He then travels across the Atlantic in a jet, burning God knows how many gallons of jet fuel in the process to accept the prize. Then he has a photo op at the train leaving the Oslo airport and this is somehow impressive symbolism and sacrifice?! This is no different than somebody going belly up to an all-you-can eat soul food buffet and thinking they have somehow impacted the caloric disaster by washing down three plates of fried chicken with a diet coke. Please.

Wouldn't it have been more eco-friendly to just have the certificate e-faxed to him? After all, he did invent the, oh, never mind:roll:

Yes, on the surface there are "conservative" Republicans and liberal Republicans--but like Juliani, they all meld together to become bricks in that great wall of Christain /Evangelical/Conservatism in an effort to claim very huge blocks of votes.

and your point is? You left off the other half about the Dems growing gov't programs to claim very huge blocks of votes. They are both doing whatever it takes to get votes, and screwing the People in the process.

You know, Aaron Burr graduated from what is known as Princeton at age 16 after studying only theology, before becoming a lawyer, later becoming VP, before he got angry at Hamilton for slander, then he popped a cap in his @ss when Hamilton's gun fired and missed. What's the point of this story? Al should be careful to control his anger and not let it lead to a duel, because it will eventually wreck his political chances, just like Burr's were hurt after they tried to convict him of murder. :funn:

Okay, I signed it. In the memo I asked him to please run with Hillary.

What a coincidence I also asked him to run with Hillary, but I added, "and don't stop until you hit China."

Like I said i'm not 100% , but I believe it was because he felt the evidence was not clear on whether the current global warming trend was a naturally occurring cycle or caused by man.

I am 100% for decreasing fuel consumption, creating self sustaining engine technology, getting out of the oil countries (northern Africa will be next), decreasing pollutants, etc. I have openly listened to both sides of this global warming debate, and I come away with one clear opinion -- scientists cannot seem to con-conclusively agree on the cause of our temperature increases. This planet has been changing forever.

I recall some independent scientist picking thru Gore's movie, and remember them talking about the big chart which Gore has, referencing carbon and global temp, over thousands of years. Looking at the chart and listening to Gore talk about it, makes it seem very believable. Gore talks about the Carbon levels correspond to the temp changes throughout history. These independent scientists mentioned something about the Gore's chart which Gore never spoke about -- which came first? These scientist say that the temperature changes came first and the carbon decreased or increased accordingly.

Again, one thing is for certain, the scientist disagree on the science. If they cannot conclusively figure it out, I sure as hell can't. What I can do is be aware of my imprint on the earth, and try to do what is right for the common good of the earth and all its people, creatures and plants.

JOE! The weather report (not forecast) says that y'all are experiencing unseasonably warm weather down there. Why aren't you out in a small, floating vessel somewhere?! Whatchoo doing glued to a computer today?
