"The problem with Vice President Gore and other global warming extremists is that they distort the science, grossly exaggerate the risks, argue that anyone who disagrees with them is corrupt, and suggest that solutions are easy and cheap," Hayward says. "And that's an all too convenient fiction."

Hmmm...never seen any of that go on here.

As it turns out, most of those making the wildest claims about global warming aren't scientists at all, Hayward says. Instead, they tend to be "politicians, headline-seeking journalists, environmentalist, and windy Anglican bishops who can't understand why people aren't coming to church any more on Sunday."

A recent conclave at the University of Arizona would disagree.

...and according to FSM isn't global warming related to a drop in the number of Pirates?

Therefore people don't go to church because there are no Pirates.

Now I expect to see Anglican Bishops with wooden legs, hooks and eye patches. Should help boost parrott sales.

Aye it was hot. Damned hot. And the men were out of rum. We needed a ship and we needed her badly. All we had was more hot air.

"See, we got to diversify away from fossil fuels. We're hooked on oil from the Middle East which is a national security problem and an economic security problem, and at the same time, burning fossil fuels is a part of the cause of greenhouse gases."

I couldn't have said it better myself.

John: Thanks

Might be titled: "An inconvenient quote".

Killer Bees? Now that’s just crazy talk. Scientist’s are way smarter than you.
