I've started looking at the GW issue as I do the race issue: it's a worthy cause to be concerned about no matter who is causing/perpetuating it.
The problem, as I see it, is that the extremists involved on both sides, who insult our intelligence with stupid data/statistics/comments. We all have to tolerate the cheneys and gores or else nothing will get done. So I've decided to ignore the crap and make up my own mind which issues are important to me and the environment is one of them. Jack

I think the glaring issue is the hypocrisy involved. Gore stands up before a national audience and proclaims that "there is something that we all can do" to reduce pollution while paying over $1300 a month to heat and cool one of his houses. Same thing as di Caprio saying that we all should go green as he steps onto his private jet.
Second, I did hear an interesting climatologist (from Princeton I think...could be wrong there) on the radio a couple weeks back and his theory was that temperatures certainly were going up, but he thought that CO2 levels rose in response to a rise in temperature, not the other way around. He also said that with how much China and India are polluting, we could drop the US emissions by 50% and still not make a bit of difference in the end as we will be dwarfed by those two countries in the near future.

There's a great new book out on GW that lays it all out, The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming (and Environmentalism), sales ranked #44 on Amazon today, and a best seller since it's release February 12, 2007. |

Global warming is the new Killer Bee.
Now the last time I brought that up someone pointed out that Killer Bees do actually kill people. I want everyone here to know know that they are “KILLER” Bees. They are not “WHISPERING” Bees or “JUGGLING” Bess, they are “KILLER” Bees. So the possibility exists that a “KILLER“ Bee may kill you. Just not in the epidemic numbers the media led us to believe.

The problem with this is that he is actually placing MORE of a burden on the poor individual who does not have enough money to pay their way out of personal inconvenience. The other thing it highlights is that it is not about the actually environment at all. It is about making themselves FEEL good about their own excesses.

Gee, Shawn. So I show a graph of the earth's temperature clearly showing an anomalous behavior. I show no cause and yet you think this graph of pirates has some correlation to the discussion.
The first step would be to show any physical basis for something that pirates do that can affect the earth's temperature. As you fail to do that, you might as well show a picture of this as cause for global warming. It has the same relevance to the issue as your post. |

Similarly we must debate whether a warming earth is killing pirates or if the loss of pirates is heating the earth
