I'm not really educated on this but I don't buy into the global warming deal. Weather patterns change over time and all over the world.

Everybody was talking about the winter we had here in the Lr. Mainland this year. Then the old timers would speak up and say that they remember winters like this and worse way back when.

The way we live on the earth affects our environment, certainly ..... but I believe there is One who is in charge of and the Master of things like weather and climate. That would be God.

LOL! beyond that Mr Gore the savior of the planet has stated that his use of carbon producing fuels has been "offest" because he has purchased "Carbon Offsets"

A Carbon Offset is a unit of carbon production that you pay someone else for. Based on some forumula, some Greenfreak decided that each person can produce a certain amount of Carbon Dioxide each day/year. So if your production goes above that number, you pay someone else for their allotment! OR you plant trees that will offset your Carbon Dioxide emmisions.

Al Gore BUYS Carbon Offsets to cover his big SUV and 4 giant homes......now here is the kicker.....ready......drum roll please......Al Gore OWNES the company he is purchasing his offsets from! what a freak.

Al Gore even admits that he makes wild conjectures and exaggerates things to make his point. I guess libs think that is ok if it is done educating the ignorant massess. The old "ends justifies the means" arguement.

I do think we should conserve fuel, seek more fuel efficient energy, etc, etc but I do not want to do so in the context of a panic over human beings causing global warming. I want to do it because it makes sense.
What CC1 said. I agee completly.

What a salesmen.
When my Pastor was pastoring in Tennessee, Al Gore was the Congressman
for his district and he has met him.

What you are saying is true.

by "ways" what do you mean?

Usually "ways" means survival, trial and error.

America is a whole lot smarter after the Dust Bowl and Three Mile Island.

Also let me add one question:

Cars are at ground level emitting gases.

Air planes are 30 to 40 Thousand feet in the Atmosphere directly emitting gases in the Ozone.

Ocean freight liners are spewing out black exhaust hauling Cars to America.

Trains are spewing out diesel exhaust transporting Cars.

Factories are spewing out pollutants making materials for Cars.

It looks like Planes, Trains, factories and Ships are causing the most Exhaust on a daily basis right?
