Earth Day: Tilting at windmills?
Date published: 5/7/2008
I am so glad Earth Day was invented. With it came the concept of conservation, which, by the way, mankind had never considered before.
Things as revolutionary as recycling, toxic-waste control, pesticide control, cleaning our rivers, and cleaning our air are only a few of the many ideas invented by Earth Day.
And who invented Earth Day? I don't know for sure, but it could very well have been the inventor of the Internet, Al Gore himself!
Al Gore is my hero. He is Don Quixote personified, our tilter of tilted windmills, our righter of perceived wrongs, the noblest of Nobel nobles. I believe he also invented greenhouse gases. He is quite versatile.
Now, this perplexes me, though, because the last time I was in a greenhouse, the only thing I smelled was air! Of course, to be fair, maybe they use those gases at night when nobody is around to get overheat-ed or even die from the stuff.
Now there's global warming. Personally, last winter I could have used a little warming for my chilly fingers and toes and, also, to give my heating bill a rest.
The people in our north could use a little global warming now, I bet. Where, oh where, is global warming when you need it?
Please forgive me for this confession. Yes, depriving global warming of its legitimacy is definitely evil. (I don't know if it's a misdemeanor or a felony, but here come the Global Warming Police now! Egads!)
The bottom line is that global warming is here. It has been proven conclusively as a true phenomenon caused by greenhouse gases. The media says so; Al Gore says so; everybody says so. At least, everybody who counts says so.
I have proof and even numbers right here that say so somewhere here well, it was here. Hold on no, that's not it well trust me, it says so! So get out there and panic!

C student in college, Al also managed to flunk out of divinity school and law school. Since Al's father was a Senator, one who filibustered against the Civil Rights Act, Al was only smart enough to fill in for Daddy when that bigot retired. Al Gore is a dumba** who is so stupid he thought people would believe he invented the internet. Al Gore is so stupid that he lost to George Bush. If you think anything Al says is on point than you must have one on your head.

SO please stop believing EVERYTHING they tell you ON THE TELEVISION.. Al gore is just a profiteer and has found a topic on which to base his new business.
My grandchildren will have to endure whatever is happening at the time. I am sure that the "global warming myth" will have been figured out and the people that have started this hysteria will have made thier money and stepped out of the limelight. Then we can get down to learning how to best live in a ever changing environment and hope to keep this planet alive after APOVIS comes. There is documented Proof in polar Ice core samples that show a re-occuring ice age has happened and well happen again. look

So, based on your expertise and I am sure extensive scientific study, this cyclical (60,000 year) climate change is nothing new, and rather than resulting in global warming we will actually experience an ice age? And finally, that this whole thing has been concocted to generate income for Al Gore? May your grandchildren forgive you for the world that you are leaving them.
Pleeese spare me

I have read all the greenhouse propaganda and while we are definitly making an impact... we dont and havent produced emissions even close to what is released when a SINGLE volcano erupts.. This planet goes through a natural climate change every 600,000 years, usually resulting in a new ice age. So take Al gore and everyone how "matters" (laughable) and go prove to me that this wouldnt have happened without us... Its just a new way of generating income for these people, The green economy is about mone
