I commented that if they truly believe that, they have my permission to commit suicide to save the planet. Haven't heard of one suicide yet in that endeavor.

They ignore or stifle any scientific evidence that contrdicts their lies that the world is ending in a massive heat wave. They refuse to listen to evidence that we are in fact entering a Solar Minimum; a cooling phase. They don't want people to know that 95% of the greenhouse effect is caused by water vapor. That the majority of greenhouse gases are NOT released by manmade enterprises but by naturally occuring wetlands. (I'd love to hear an environmentalist talk about wiping out all the marshes, bayous, and everglades in the world.) They suppress the voice of men like Dr. William Grey, one of the world's foremost weather experts who doesn't support global warming. He lost his funding at Colorado State University because he wouldn't perpetuate the radical eco-agenda. The Environmentalists bemoan the melting of the Arctic ice sheet, but fail to mention that it melts every year and though it did lose 13,000 square miles, it has since recovered 17,000 square miles. They want to spread the myth about endangered polar bears, but don't want you to know that the polar bear has quadrupled it's numbers in the last four decades and is doing better than it ever has. But the listing of the polar bear as an endangered species will eliminate any chance of drilling for oil or natural gas in ANWR. Something this country needs to do. Furthermore, do not forget that the sole desire of the radical envirofascists is control. The greatest way to control people is through rationing. Rationing food is the most effective way, but if that can't be done, then rationing energy is almost as effective. By controling how much energy a person or a company can use, will give the rationer the ability to dictate what that person or company is allowed to do. If the desired energy using activity is deemed unworthy by the envirofascists, then it will not be given the resources to get done. To believe that we humans could have an impact on something as powerful as the global climate is absolute arrogance. Other than nuclear war, what we do, has little impact. There are far greater forces at work than us. But then again, the environmentalists are nothing but arrogant.

That's the nature of the earth... or dare I say "Mother Earth?" However, there is a growing body of evidence that suggests a cooling period... the exact opposite of what the government is saying via Al Gore. Yet, the government refuses to recognize anything other than warming and will enact legislation to counteract it... maybe they're going to do that and take credit for the cooling? ROFL, I wouldn't put it past them to try something like that. So, we're looking at tough times ahead, not just from the cooling phase but from government who will leave us with fewer resources to protect ourselves from the changes... while the alarmists get richer and richer off their carbon offset scams and "green" stuff. You know everything good for you costs twice as much as everything bad for you but they're going to legislate away all the bad stuff? But then, the environmentalists say the earth is overpopulated anyway. I suppose a few billion less people who die from climate change they were told was going to be the opposite would be okay with them.

were smart enough to produce enough thermonuclear weapons to destroy ourselves several times over…and were smart enough to to recognize and not do it.

Hasn't done much. Perhaps drawn attention to the world's movers and shakers that just maybe 6.6 billion hominid bipeds were smart enough to impact their own environment..and may be smart enough to recognize and rectify it.
