If fighting global warming may cost the economy $9.6 trillion and more than 1 million lost jobs by 2035, as the Heritage Foundation forecasts, it'd be a good idea to be sure there's a sound basis before making such a massive sacrifice.

We've noted before that climate change is occurring as it always has, but the claim that man-made greenhouse gases will cause catastrophic temperature increases is based on questionable science and projections. Man's contribution to greenhouse gases is minuscule. There are some theories but no convincing proof that increased emissions cause increased temperature.

They are VERY wrong on the issue, and they are literally BETTING on the ignorance of the public in order to make it happen. I am not gonna sit down for that one.

This is an article on the science that disproves Global Warming due to CO2.

Right now, liberals are saying “We need to devastate the economy to fix a problem that doesn’t exist, before anyone is able to get the numbers right.”

A Million jobs? So What, we lost more then that over March and April. Just wait a few more months and we will all be in bread lines.

I wouldn't dismiss everything scientists say based upon a wrong conclusion made by some. After all, they were right about all the things that went into the computer you are using.

I think they’re counting more on the public’s passivity than its ignorance.
