On climate change, let's not rush into things, Gov. Kaine
Date published: 3/7/2008 On climate change, let's not rush into things, Gov. Kaine Gov. Kaine's study to determine how Virginia can address climate change is admirable, but L. Preston Bryant Jr.'s Feb. 27 op-ed does not address key issues ["A common-'wealth' of global solutions?"]. Is climate change occurring? Always, if you believe the historical record. Information suggests that our current climate is neither the warmest nor the coldest during written history. Are greenhouse gases bad? Greenhouse gases are naturally occurring (water vapor, carbon dioxide, and methane). Without the greenhouse effect, scientists hypothesize that the Earth would be a far colder and inhospitable place. Is man the cause of climate change? The governor's administration would have us believe that the debate on the man-made impact on the climate is over, and all scientists are There are many strong scientific voices that dispute the findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the international body that is at the heart of the global climate-crisis call to arms. Much of the fear-mongering is based on computer models that are reported to be inaccurate when compared with current weather trends. Are the governor's advisers well-balanced? Besides the host of business and government personages, there is one scientist of note who is strongly associated with the IPCC. But no scientists are listed who have opposing opinions. How can the governor make informed policy decisions for all Virginians if he does not consider contrary views? What if man-made climate change is not an issue? It would be unwise to rush headlong into enacting laws and raising taxes that would affect our financial well-being, when the impacts of such laws on the environment are minuscule, unmeasurable, and not needed.

Of course there is. Is there global cooling? Of course there is. Is it our fault? NO. It has always happened and always will. Should we eliminate bad harmful stuff? Hell yes. There is no argument here. We can dance around the issue, but no one knows the absolute truth about anything. But key is to reduce with a goal to eliminate all things that have any adverse effect on the environment. UUntil we figue out the means to settle hospitable far away planets we are stuck here...rich and not so rich.

There hasn't been an increase in temperature since 1998. I
remember back in the mid 70's when everyone was worried
about the ice age returning. The Earth is always changing.
Do some research and you'll see that the sky is not falling.
There was a conference in NY on the climate that was not
covered by the media. Of course they were scientists who's
findings were outside the hysteria we've seen recently. We
need to do our part to but freaking out doesn't help.
TICK TOCK...TWIT??

Your attempt to make me feel bad about the end of President Bush's term is a feeble one. 8 years of liberal whining will be done too. That is of course, unless Hillary Diane Clinton "steals" the nomination with her buddies the "Super-Delagates", then all the bitter Barak Hussein Obama supporters will vote for Nader or McCain, and we will have 4 more glorious years of a Republican White House! Dems are so busy hating Bush, that they can't come together on a candidate. I love it!!
tick tock Mr. Savebygrace...

Tick tock the clock is ticking for the enviroment... AND PRESIDENT BUSH has 318 days 4 HOURS - YIPPEE.
You have been forthright, but I simply don't trust the extreme right wing because it is the ONLY group here that seems to have an agenda. I picked up on Climate change in the mid-70s and those who I trust seem to agree, those who I don't trust and are angry, reactionary, belligerent group and sort of make things up as they go to justify evil and hidden agendas. Global warming is a fact.
FACTS for TWIT........

We know how much liberals like you love FACTS, so here's a couple links to FACTS:
http://www.globalwarming.org/node/142
19,000 scientists all must be wrong. They all signed this petition: http://www.oism.org/pproject/s33p357.htm You can read the whole petition on the site. Al Gore should give his Nobel Prize back, or donate it to the WIlliam Jefferson Clinton Presidential Library and Massage Parlor. You wasted your money on "An Inconvenient Truth" Aren't FACTS GREAT??
