Default Re: Iowa and the road to the Whitehouse

OMG Example, I just asked about the accuracy of the statement about global temperature not increasing for the last several years (since 2000).

BTW About 35 years ago when I was a young impressionable lad, we were being told that it was a fact that the supply of fossil fuel would only last 10 or 20 years. The world was rapidly running out of oil. That was the big lie then. It was in my Senior Scholastic magazine repeatedly. President Carter made us lower our thermostats. We waited on lines for gas. for hours We were clearly running out of oil. Cheap gas was a thing of the past. Well, there's plenty of oil left and the OPEC pricks keep fucking with opening and closing the spigot.

Is Global Warming a big lie? I don't know. If there is Global Warming does man play a role? I don't know. How rapidly is it happening? I don't know, but I have seen this type of lie before and I think all global changes occur very slowly. When was it that Ted Danson and many in the scientific community were convinced that the oceans would be dead in 10 years. Now these same scientists are afraid that we will be one big ocean. When did Gore make the statement that we have 10 years to act before it is too late. That has to be a couple of years ago ...no? IN 8 more years, we'll know definitively. In the meantime, I drive a Dodge Charger with the big Hemi, my second car is a gas hog SUV, I barbecue outdoors in the winter, and I'm switching to aerosol sprays. I will neutralize the actions of 8 -10 tree-huggers. The Chinese will do the rest. Come what may in 10 years. The Demagogues in D.C. will have found another issue with which to terrorize us by then...maybe the necessity to conserve sunlight because the sun is rapidly burning out.
