No, I like staying warm and not freezing to death.
I like electricity and all the conveniences it brings.
I like being able to drive where I want, when I want.
My exhalations are not a dangerous pollutant.
CO2 has no bearing on temperature.
The Gore-Bull warming hoax is an excuse for global wealth redistribution. That’s all.

Let’s see how many Democrats line up to support Dear Leader’s dream of a $10 tax on every barrel of $30/bbl. oil, thus increasing the price of gasoline to the consumer, along with all petroleum products, such as plastic products, paint, fertilizer,medicine, cosmetics,carpeting, fabrics etc etc.
The Middle Class consumer would bear the higher cost of over 2000 products with petroleum as a base. Obama should be hounded and heckled when he comes up with such a destructive notion, but have you heard a single Republican comment on this? Too lazy and unconcerned to bother to challenge the loon in the White House.

The leftists call CO2 “pollution” in order to seize control of the economy.

I'll get behind
this method of breaking one part of our addiction to fossil. The trouble for the extremists is that it won't set us back three hundred years in lifestyle - we'll keep advancing.

Do I have to? It is obvious. Or are you a envirowacko? Hope not. Haven’t you noticed that we have an abundance of fossil fuels? 90% of the talk against them are FUD. Why would you want to substitute something that costs more, takes more resources to produce, and creates less energy? Do you want to spend huge amounts to tax dollars furthering some one’s e3nergy scam? Do you want to drive the cost of absolutely everything so high that even trustfunders will squeal? Or do you just want change for change’s sake?

"The Gore-Bull warming hoax is an excuse for global wealth redistribution. Thatâs all." You are spot on but we have to face facts: Obama, the EPA, the courts, and even the GOPe have put the US and the Western world on maybe an irreversible path to renewable energy dependence. It is doable, but it will be hard to reverse the damage to energy production over the last seven years.

They call CO2 pollution because they are ignorant.
Without CO2 there wouldn't be any plants

Time to break our "addiction" to fossil fuels? Far from it! Time to spread their use throughout the developing world, lifting billions out of poverty and into healthier, longer lives.
A voice of common sense crying in the wilderness

assuming they are “fossil fuels”
which is starting to look more and more dubious based on what we are finding on other plants

We are Addicted to Fossil Fuels like your body is addicted to its own blood.
I can't even name all things all the things Fossil Fuels do to make modern society possible.
People were Mining Coal and using Asphalt 2,000 years ago.

It’s not an addiction, it’s the most efficient utilization of our natural resources. That’s why we keep using the stuff.
