What a load of crap!(sub. req'd) This week's issue of TIME features an article by Madeleine Nash describing the "incontrovertible evidence that temperatures are rising" and what is in store for us all. Ms. Nash is a hack. Who does she think she is, Hemingway? The article begins: "Its prow angled high, the speedboat skims across the iridescent lagoon that shivers with wind-whipped chop." I knew as soon as I read the first sentence that this was going to be a hilarious effort to convince the reader that we're all in imminent danger of drowning in the rising seas. And, bingo!, I was correct.
I don't care what you think about global warming - its true; its a liberal lie; you don't care; whatever - I think we can all agree that between articles like Ms. Nash's and movies like The Day After Tomorrow, the global warming nuts do themselves a disservice by producing such laughable screeds.
A liberal lie. Dude, are you high? I don't think there's a single issue, other than possibly the effects of gravity, that the scientific community around the world agrees on more uniformly than global warming. And boy, what a stretch it is to imagine that the human population (which has doubled in less than a hundred years) can actually have a negative impact on the environment. But agreeing to that would be bad for business, right. Bonehead! The right had previously wanted to deny the effects of florocarbons on the ozone layer....next they'll say the rain forests aren't necessary.

I live in northern Wisconsin and I am a fan of global warming whatever the cause . I know we may lose Florida and a few tropical resorts but I am looking forward to the day when we can grow peach and pecan trees up here. Don't change a thing.
To everyone who disputes global warming , I kindly ask that you keep your opinion. To those who want to combat global warming with actions from industrial nations: keep your opinions to yourself. Palm trees in NYC is a goal not a crime.
