Oh boy does that comfort me.

Anyway, I don't see why this thread has turned to politics yet again. But anywho, I don't see why people choose to ignore scientific evidence. It's pretty laughable in that aspect. I have not studied Global Warming to an extreme degree but I do believe it is happening.

Who else is up for a move to the moon?

Politics has nothing to do with scientists falsifying data, its about getting research funding.

Gore may have to return his Oscar over this.

The up coming Global Warming summit, hundreds, maybe thousands of people flying in on private jets to cry crocodile tears over the rape of the environment while their bank accounts grow.

Did anyone read about all the carbon footprint/gases all the traveling to the conference will produce.

Those people have no fricking shame.

Whether global warming, climate change or whateveryouwanttocallit is real, doesn't it make sense not to mess up the only planet we have?

Just as there continue to be Holocaust deniers - I suppose it is inevitable there are those who refuse to accept the results of our behavior on the planet.

This is just one example of the results of our behavior...

For the last 50-odd years, every piece of plastic that has made it from our shores to the Pacific Ocean has been breaking down and accumulating in the central Pacific gyre. Oceanographers like Curtis Ebbesmeyer, the world's leading flotsam expert, refer to it as the great Pacific Garbage Patch.

The problem is that it is not a patch, it's the size of a continent, and it's filling up with floating plastic waste.

I agree with Smokey...how can anyone not want to stop?? And how can it possibly be a political issue?
