If more people would do their own thinking instead of allowing the media or gov't do it for us, we would all be better off. One good volcanic eruption puts more "greenhouse" gases in the atmosphere than man has ever produced. I remember the environmentalists in the late 60s and early 70s predicting the doom of an impending ice age. Now its warming. Whatever floats your agenda rules the day.

By nature, I am not an environmentalist. I believe in the rational and responsible use of all natural resources to their best benefits. Kind my definition of a conservationist.

Environmentalist: someone who already has their house in the woods.

Also, did you ever notice they all drive to wherever they are protesting? Not to mention they usually drive the worst polluting cars of anyone.

>Personally, I think global warming is a big sham, or perhaps more correctly, global warming caused by man. We might like to believe we control this planet, but we don't. We are actually at the mercy of something...

>Actually, if you want to control 'global warming' it would be better to control cloud formation. CO2 is such a miniscule proportion of the atmosphere. Of course, it is the only thing we CAN control, so it becomes the only thing that NEEDS controlling. How precious!

>>Remember, we are the ones who insisted on putting MTBE in gasoline to improve air quality, perpetuate the myth that CFCs deplete ozone, and global warmingis a scientifically factual. Now our water supplies are being contaminated and air quality is worse because of MTBE. Pluse our Governor refused to pay the lawyers in Texas over $3 billion as their part of the tobacco settlement. He claimed it was too excessive. Way to go, GW! Too bad he has not yet forced MTBE out of our State as other States have wisely done, including California. I can't figure out whe Env Groups aren't sueing us over this. They do over every other EPA faux pas. Makes me wonder what their real agenda are.
