James Inhofe is correct -- global warming is the BIG LIE and you are a bunch of flat earth society lunatics. Did you never study geology or prehistory? How could you have gotten through school without knowing that the Earth has suffered 10 major and 50 minor ice ages before human industrialization. with inter-mediate warming spells, such as the dinosaur era. Carbon dioxide was much higher during the dinosaur era. Manhattan was under 2,000 feet of ice 12,000 years ago, and oceans have risen 320 feet since then. I suppose you think that dinosaurs caused their own extinction with coal-fired power plants. So something useful such as stopping the war in Iraq. resources away from importanta causes.

Have you ever taken a course in geology? Are you aware that Earth has suffered 10 major and 50 minor ice ages prior to human industrialization, with much ice melting in between? That Manhattan was under 2,000 feet of ice 12,000 years ago, and that the oceans have risen 320 feet since then and continue rising. I do not recall our being industrialized except for the past 200 years out the 12,000, or are you going to argue that too. You lunatics are hi-jacking this country and brain-washing our children, but your stupidy will be exposed for what it is. I suppose you believe the earth is flat also? That is why Inhofe called it the Big Lie -- he is absolutely right, I am a 58-year-old life-long Democrat woman who simply can't stand stupidity in her fellow countrymen. Why don't you spend your time trying to stop the war in Iraq or is your lazy butt n0t on the line over there? I have three children in the military and frankly don't have time for your nonsense, nor does most of the country. Go study prehistory or to to work on some serious issues.

Human breath contains CO2. All we need is for every US liberal to promise that they won’t breathe for one day per year – <em>just one day </em>- and the unassailably imminent global catastrophe can be avoided. Think about it. Just one short day every year without exhaling and you can save Mother Earth. Just one day, that’s all I ask. Who could be so selfish as to deny our precious planet the help she so urgently needs for the sake of just one day’s giving? Any minute now the apocalyptic destruction of our planet might leap from Al Gore’s head into reality. Liberals, neo-hippies, environ-mentalists, <em>boomers</em>; I appeal to you. Please, please, please, for the sake of current and future generations, give up breathing for just one day this year. We’ll call it ‘National Anti-aspiration Day’. You can even have a coloured ribbon if you want. A sort of cold blue would be good. Act now, before it’s too late. Remember; just one day is all it takes to Save the World! Peace out.

(Consensus at one point in our history suggested that the world was flat ~ a claim the Left mistakenly argues was promoted only by the preeminant leaders of the church.) Regardless, consensus is not science; it is politics. Consensus is fixated on how many people agree with something, not whether or not something is correct. Science, by its very nature, must ask questions! If polled, a "consensus" of scientists would argue, "There is no cure for cancer." But, do we ask them to not still search? Question? Probe for an answer? Of course not! To blindly accept "Global Warming" is no better than to blindly deny its possiblity. Therein lies the rub! What standard is used to determine "truth?" Do we use consensus, a political equation used by many throughout history to bully others into submission (rightly or wrongly)? Consensus suggests that the matter is solved, thus ending debate. Or, do we use science, which by its very nature reaches no consensus, for it is forever quesitoning, probing, revising, etc.? Debate MUST continue in order for science to be valid! Consensus can not be reached because consensus is NOT science! Attacking those who believe in a scientific approach to finding answers flies in the face of seeking truth via scientific discovery ~ a very dangerous approach from those on the Left.
