Sadly the "global warming" crowd has the bigger megaphone, and the more active propaganda machine. Here's further evidence against their "argument"; http://www.iceagenow.com/Growing_Glaciers.htm but then, "The debate is over" isn't it?
I've been in sales most of my adult life. Those of you that have done likewise know that most sales people are honest folk providing a service. We also know that there are some disreputable types who employ deceptive tactics. Two of the most frequently used are the "buy it now before it's too late" close, and the what I like to call the "hey!!! look at this shiny thing over here" distraction. This "human caused climate change" employs both tactics. First it's the panic of "oh, we're destroying the earth and must act now", then when you start to point out the holes in their "argument" they divert attention elsewhere. This is a common tactic of those in politics that are trying to "sell" ideas that enhance their power. This past week we had a blatant example of their game yet the majority of people have been suckered in. Congress passes a law, the President signs it into affect, that LEGALLY authorizes bonus payments to AIG employees. Since it's the law the company pays the bonuses. Then the stuff hits the fan. What happens? The scumbag politicians, with the help of their media lapdogs dump the blame on the employees who received the bonuses. The Senator who put the article in the law draft first lies about his role in sponsoring it (yes, he was the largest political campaign donation recipient from AIG employees.....no conflict of interest there eh?). Then when called on it the next day issues a statement that he's not sure how it got in there, then the next day has to admit his roll but still tries to dump it off on someone else. Meanwhile, the President, who signed the law, and the rest of the Congress people who voted for it all claim outrage that the bonuses were paid!l So which is it? Are they liars or incompetent? Almost all of them are attornys so obviously they should understand what a contract is......................so I'd bet on the liar part. Then, they make a big show about ex post facto contract change and an unconstitutional penalizing tax to claw the money back, all the while inciting public mob anger over the $165 million of bonus money. That amount eqauls a mere 1/10 of 1 percent of the money "loaned" to AIG..........1/10 of 1 percent!!!!!! And for this these employees are subjected to death threats, ACORN sponsored bus loads of threatening mobs, and more! And what happens to the politicians who are really responsible for this mess? NADA! Where's the outrage over the $80 BILLION of the AIG loan money that was laundered to other financial institutions, mostly in Europe? Not a peep. Where's the priority of anger? Deflected somewhere else, away from the crooks in congress. So, is it any wonder that those same fools are so easily distracted into believing the human caused climate change story? It's all about controlling the populace. Let's just say there were some validity to the "excess" CO2 story. It's a well know fact that CO2 is plant food, essential for the production of oxygen for our environment. If there were a real problem to solve, and individual freedom and respect of personal property rights were important, should there be a "remediation" plan that included a significant planting of trees to offset the so called "carbon footprint" of each individual? Why are the only solutions offered are to limit personal freedoms, and confiscation of personal property, primarily money, under a convoluted scheme of "cap and trade". Probably the most important shorthand measure of the validity of this cap and trade scheme is that it was originally proposed by those wonderful folks at ENRON. But again, the sheeple just won't get it!Last edited by Bob Parmenter; 03-26-2009 at 09:02 PM.

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

I check in everyday and some are better than others. I don't think Brent has anything to do with the forum anymore, but I'm not sure. Hopefully as time moves on the forum will get better.
Where is everybody?
