Bubba,
I'm not against alternative energy, as long as it's viable.

I was mainly trying to say the climate change debate is not over. I could have used many other sources in addition to the few I cited. As for the credibility of the anti-warming sources, I could turn that around and ask how many of the global warmers funding depends on them finding that man-made global warming is real ? Al Gore has hundreds of millions at stake in that game himself.

Well King I gotta disagree with you on this one. The vast majority of credible scientists, those who publish in peer reviewed journals, agree that the earth is getting warmer and man-made CO2 is a major cause of the warming. Not all of the warming but significant. I would suggest that you check the list of 31,000 scientists you quote and see how many support intelligent design as well. Just because the messengers are hypocrites doesn't make the message wrong. Beside if the global warming people are wrong we still are buying less oil from Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Iran, Russia, etc. Is that a bad thing? As the recent run up in gas prices over the summer showed people won't change their energy habits until the price of gas reaches about $3.50/gallon , so I say set gas at $3.50/gallon and use the extra money to fund research to get us off of oil.

My usual rant!!!
We sit here and argue who is right who is wrong and often your side is worse than mine.
Mesnwhile the political elite rake it in. The take and perks grow yearly.
I complain about the lobbyists and tax-cheats Obama has backed but that doesnt make him any better or worse than what has become before.
Look at Daschle. He has make over $500,000 a year since leaving the Senate and that doesnt include his wife who is a big time lobbyist. He served on multiple boards and his law firm in Washington has raked in millions. What does he have to offer? Access and the knowledge to let his "clients" know who and how much. Does that make him any wose than others? Hell no he is just playing the game that is there to play. Sure there a few isolated objections in Washington to this corrupt behaviour but vey few. I dont hear much real outrage or opposition to these crooks from the Reps. There is to much money to be made and assistance in getting relected from all the special interets to object. The avergae citizen has little voice and is merely an annoyance to Washington. So what do we do? Bitch and moan about the other side while the power of money shuts our voices out.
Folks just wait untill the carbon credit game starts. Money will be pouring into Washington in numbers I cant even comprehend. My suggestion is to title the carbon credit bill "The congressional Full Pocket Bill"
Think about it folks only ONE Senator nominated for a cabinet post has ever been denied the post. We can object all day long but they close ranks and do what serves their interest.

I watched the performance of Punxatawney Phil this morning and the CNN people discussed the fact that he couldn't have seen his shadow because of the clouds at Gobbler's whatever, and that spring officially begins about 6 weeks from now. I think we have all been taken in by that story but my the crowd of people that was out for the "prediction"!!!

Just before coming here I read some garbage from a "warmer" and when I checked his link found that he had linked us to a "warmer" publication. I learned that a certain kind of penguin will be extinct in Antarctica by 2100 and that life on Earth will probably over by 2050 at the present rate. The penguins will be extinct after all the rest of us are gone!!!! Of course all this didn't show up in the same article but there it was in the publication.

Do you remember AussieMale? He tells me that it gets very hot there in the summer and that it has been worse lately. (It is summer there right now). Anyway such a great article about how hot it is there. Somehow they never think about winter here in the farther north region. I wonder if those poor people in Kentucky are worried about old Algore and his friends these days.

Did you mean to say that 31,000 scientists can outvote 2500 grant money grabbers? Well sure you did but warmers don't believe that at all. Have you asked any denizens of the east coast of the US how much higher the water comes on their coast from all that glacial melt in Greenland? It is interesting to see their answers.
