I thought we were talking about Global Warming. I guess you are doing what your kind does best. Bait and Switch.
Try sticking to the topic. Even when your arguments are full of holes.

What Al Gore does doesn't matter. All you ned to do is open your eyes and see how large the world population is. How much resouces, food, energy, etc it takes to sustain this population and factor in all the garbage and toxic waste the entire world produces and tries to either bury in the ground where it gets into the water table, toxic fumes in the air we breath, and in the ocean kiloing the sea life or poosioning what we eat.

Does it make sense to dump waste in your living room> That's what we all do everyday.

3) Global Warming is indeed a Farce [by Anonymous on July 23, 2008]
It is the greatest scam and con game ever played by any government to regulate all commerce and hoodwink the people into higher taxes, more restrictive laws, and ultimately, slavery.

Google "31,000 Scientists warming"

If you think I'm just one of those right wing sticks in the mud, go ahead, bury your head in the sand and follow the rest of the lemmings over the cliff. Again, I say...just type "31,000 scientists warming" into your google search engine and you will quickly see why I and others who can see past Al Gore and all his bulls**t simply refuse to play dead and let the government enslave us and our economy.

Help fight Organized Crime...Do not re-elect incumbant politicians.
