I would agree that the climate may be changing. The question is whether it's long term, short term natural cycle or caused by us evil humans. The "sky is falling" crowd (i.e. Al Gore in particular) are using hysteria as a way to get power (money). He and the tree-huggers would have us believe that we need to spend more and more of OUR money to "prevent" global warming. Reducing emissions costs money and this is eventually paid for by us consumers, i.e. reducing our standard of living. And the other developing countries will spew more pollution in the air all the while they are kicking our economic a__.

This hysteria is culminating in Cap-and-Trade BS which will only benefit the people who own trading companies to buy phony energy credits from companies that don't want/need them and sell them to companies that want to expand (i.e. create jobs). Guess who owns a company that trades these credits? None other than Al Gore. Again, this will just drive up the cost of operating a business in the US and these costs will be passed on to the consumer.

Another example are the "ozone action" days. They've got these idiots (getting paid good money) monitoring the air across the country and if some arbitrary number is passed on some scale in some city, they don't want us to fill up our cars or cut our lawns. I have not heard ONE instance where they could say "ok, everyone cut back on fillups, etc yesterday and we saw the number drop", i.e. there is NO way to prove that this junk science would even work if we followed it. This stuff would be funny if it wasn't so stupid.

I don't advocate we go back to the early days of the industrial revolution but I think the pendulum as swung too far in the tree-hugger's direction. Farmers and other owners of the land are the best stewards of that resource, not some idiot sitting on top of a tree in a Washington forest.

And BTW, if I hear one more ad, news report, article, etc. that talks about "carbon footprint", I will vomit. It's cold outside, I think I'll go start a fire in my fireplace and hopefully Al will not be driving down my street and get the "carbon" police on my doorstep.
