Do you actually believe the crap you write? I would guess with your background in global warming you can then tell me how the earth has had warming and cooling periods before we were even here? Global warming is the Left's grand plan to deny rights to the citizens of the United States. Without this crisis they would never get anyone to give up driving their cars and stop people from moving out to the suburbs. Funny thing is the thermometer is about 150 years old, we have been recording weather for about the same time and the fact that the weather professionals cannot accurately tell me what the weather will be in 3 days but somehow I am supposed to believe that they KNOW what will happen in ten years??!! Give me a break! Attila the Anti-Smoking Hun…

Climate deals with the weather over decades and centuries, that is what climate change is. Saying the weather changed 30 degrees lower therefore there is no such thing as global warming is very untrue.
