Bill, your response is a very elemenary one. The reason that every major science organization in the world has concluded that global warming is real and caused by humans is because there is tremendous evidence. For example, there has been a spike in CO2 levels apparent since the early to mid 1900's. Where do you think that came from? Nearly every scientist in the world sees the obvious correlation between carbon use and this increase. By the way, Jane, the E.P.A. absolutely never said any such thing. The only scientists who say what you are saying are those employed by the oil companies. Barney, global warming has never been disproven. That is only a figment of right-wing talk radios propaganda on behalf of Shell. You should all try this thing called "reading." It may help you think for yourselves just a bit.

Anonymous do you need professional help? That is a serious question, not an attack. Does it make you feel better to spit venom as you did here? Personal attacks on people who speak their mind? I thought Democrats were the party of understanding and acceptance? Am I wrong? If you derive pleasure from insulting people who you disagree with then I suggest you seek some mental help. Living your life that way will surely have a negative effect on your health. I think pollution is a real issue but I do not think it is OK to break the laws in order to protest it or stop it. Does that mean Hitler would like me too? Please, for your sake and for those whom love you, please, talk to someone before you end up running yourself into the ground. You need to get some help.

So, hillbilly Bill, by your logic, we should all start dumping all of our toxic waste in the rivers. The human race can't impact anything... What your 2nd grade education didn't tell you is that there has been a huge spike in greenhouse gas levels easily identitified and unprecedented (the means it hasn't happened before) since the early to mid 1900's. This is one reason why scientists (people who made it out of 2nd grade) believe that the temperature extremes and evolving weather patterns are being impacted by human activity.

YES GLOBAL WARMING IS REAL! It has been going on since the last ice age. Remember there was a big glacier covering most of WI not all that long ago. Man didn't cause it to happen it is just a natural cycle. Humanity has no better chance to stop it than to cause it. Gee the all powerful human race thinks it can control the world, HA! give me a break.

Good answers hillbillies. The entire scientific world knows that global warming is a reality. I know, Rush Limbaugh told you it was made up, and since you are uneducated hillbillies, you liked what you heard. Jim and Scott, there is this amazing thing called "thinking for youself." You may hav heard of it. Actually, you probably haven't since you obviously do whatever the guy in charge tells you to do. Hitler would have loved you guys.

Not too bright of people! Last week the E.P.A. announced that the data they have been spewing out confirming global warming was an out and out lie,but, they would continue to lie anyway to further their agenda. That must mean that all the crazies out there should be allowed to protest!!!!!!!! Make them do comunity service for the next five years at Rushmore for nothing. Bet they would really squawk about that!

Did they ride their bikes or walk to Mt. Rushmore? I think global warming has stopped, when was the last real summer, 2003? Funny, they forgot to call it climate change so it can include things like non-summers and the like. Like most of these groups they have to do crazy things so some blinded people contribute money to them.

Global Warming? They must be the last people besides Al Gore and Obama to have not heard the news that global warming was a Lie that has been disproven over and over again. There really is a sucker born every minute.

Of course Scott, that is the way they work. Burn down a building if it is polluting, destroy others property if they do something you do not like. They have an excuse for everything. Truly sad what they do and the bad name they give to reasonable people who want to make a difference.
