    British TV Channel 4 is airing a documentary called Global Warming the Big Swindle. A lot of big name scientists are featured in this retort to Inconvenient truth.

    But I will say, that while I'm not convinced that man is causing anything. I do think that we of course need to do all we can to clean up fuel, clean up industry, etc. No matter wheter we have climate changes due to man or not.

    I agree that we must continue to develop clean sources of energy for many reasons: not the least of which is to free ourselves from dependence on foreign suppliers of oil. On the other hand, we must also free ourselves of liberal junk science, which has already hurt our country in so many ways. Republicans don't cause hurricanes, nor are they melting the polar ice caps, raising the sea levels or drowning the polar bears...

    Interesting story about an Arctic trek to warn of the dangers of global warming ends beause of frostbite.

    Sorry for the ladies loss, but it points out that the Artic is no place for amateurs trying to make a protest point.

    Whoops! I missed the part about her losing toes. That makes it not so funny.
