I disagree with you.

Our polloution clogs the sky. The burning of Coal is a huge factor.

If you vist Bangkok and see some of the canals, this may also chnage your mind.

I most certainly do agree that local climates and ecosystems can be influenced postively or negatively by man's actions. Evidence does support that micro enviromental change. Global warming, on the other hand, is a macro enviromental change and not something man can greatly effect. The Mya wiped themselves out through micro ecosystem alteration and the jungle came back as soon as they were gone, so nature can certainly recover quickly.

I'm not against trying to conserve or preserve our resources and enviroment, those are worthwhile endevors. I am against some Global cabal trying to manipulate my nation's soveriegnty for thier own personal agenda. I'm also against the UN trying to impose things on the US, exspecially when they can't do anything without our help to begin with.

America will let the market decide, money motivate's inovation, it's how the US became what it is.

That's fine. Like I said, I am totally fine with people saying global warming is not man-made.

But I do have a problem with those saying it isn't happening.

Really this is the fourth time on this thread I have brought this up, and always someone reacts saying "No one says global isn't happening, they are just saying it isn't man-made" and then the next person says "global warming itself is a farce".

It appears the "movement" is as fractured as its members, so I won't bother asking again.

There's a difference between pollution and global warming.

A vast difference.

Pollution, I agree with. But Global warming, I do not.

No it isn't, that's hype ment to scare folks into buying some fantasy so this global cabal can dictate to all of us what we can and can't do. It's the oldest trick in the book for would be dictators throughout history.

Find/invent some "problem", lable whose at fault /to blame, then find a souluton that useually involves removeing the one "at fault" and placeing the people who "enlightened" everyone to the "truth", in charge. Jeez people, it's straight out of Mein Kampf

So what if the globe is getting warmer, really, what's so bad about that? All anyone hears is gloom and doom and frankly it gets tiresome. Perhaps studies should be made to figure out how we can use global warming to our advantage instead.
