In eighty years, environmental science has completely reversed itself on this issue no less than three times." ...
please forgive but I don't remember where I read it but I heard that our weather pattern run on about a 25 year circuit.

"This just proves what I've been saying all along - the Religious Right is more interested in Republican politics than it is with doing God's work. Shame on all of them."

Isn't that just a bit hypocritical? I mean, here you are judging them as to there political ideals with your political ideals. ...and you say, shame on all of them? Even if you know as much as they do, don't you think you are being kind of condescending?

believer is correct....this is not a Republican issue (ie:Warner and McCain are both wrong) This issue is about truth and whether or not we will be led by the noses to a foolish taxation system intended only to redistribute the wealth globally.
"Consider further that the clamor about radical climate change is not new. In the 1920s, the newspapers were filled with scientists warning of a fast approaching Glacial Age; but in the 1930s, scientists reversed themselves and instead predicted serious Global Warming. 23 But by 1972, Time was citing numerous scientific reports warning of imminent “runaway glaciation,” 24 and in 1975, Newsweek reported overwhelming scientific evidence that proved an oncoming Ice Age, with scientists warning the government to stockpile food; in fact, some scientists even proposed melting the artic ice cap to help forestall the coming Ice Age. 25 In 1976, the U. S. Government itself released a study warning that “the earth is heading into some sort of mini-ice age,” 26 but now, a
mere two decades later, the warning of the imminent Ice Age has been replaced by the warning of an impending Global Warming disaster. In eighty years, environmental science has completely reversed itself on this issue no less than three times." And now the weather satellite data are beginning to show the warming has peaked and we are entering the cooling cycle.
Environmental science is less than trustworthy but great at alarmism.

"This is typical of the religious right -- they are called to be stewards of the words, that is, until it hampers their ability to drive SUVs to soccer practice "

I would sign that letter and it isn't because i want to drive an SUV to soccor practice, it is because i want to put food on my table. Right now with Gas prices at 3.16 a gallon it cost me 25.00 a day to drive to work because i have to live 62 miles away from where i work so that i can offord a house. This global warming farse that is being foisted upon us is just that a farse, there is no evidence that man made carbon emissions are causing an increase in global temperature, however if this bill is passed it will cost millions their job and livelyhood, think about that before you start jumping on the bandwagon....

Please don't make this a Republican issue when it is not. There is just way too much valid scientific evidence that says what this bill is based is rather questionable. Let's wait till all the facts are in and validated before we start claiming that the sky is falling. For those who are interested I refer you to an article on the bpnews web-site for March 19th which addressed the issue of global warming.
