Now explain to me something else. About 15 - 20 years ago the rage was about all the smog, pollution, acid rain, nitrous oxide, etc., which was causing the global warming. It was going to kill us all by the 21st century. All the forests were going to be dead, we would breathe all the flouric acid and sulphuric acid which was going to burn our lungs up. The smog was going to be so bad we were going to go blind. What happened to all that stuff? At that time there was no mention of carbon dioxide. It was just a natural by-product of animals breathing and plants were changing it back into ocygen. Even the plankton in the ocean was seen as a countermeasure to the CO2. What has happened?

Now the culprit is simply too much CO2. No mention of the flourocarbons, nitrous oxide, ozone, acid rain, etc., etc., etc. Did the public finally get smart about the scam being pulled by the environmental wackhos?

Why is there no reporting on how much of the CO2 that is supposedly destroying us comes from the normal respiration of birds and animals. Why is there no reporting on how much of that bad CO2 is being converted back into oxygen. We now have more forests, vegetation, and plankton then we had 20 years ago.

Is this all a scam again with a different product?

And why were the English able to commercially grow grapes (for wine) 70 miles north of London in the 11th century. If your idea that warming one part of the globe means another part has to be colder, where was it colder in the 11th century? And during the little ice age of the 14th century where were the massive deserts to offset that bit of climate?

As I sit here in the coldest and snowiest winter since 1989 where is it that much warmer because I sure would like to go there.

Thank you.

It was 75 in El Paso today. I like my global warming just fine. BTW, we've also had 2 snow days at school this year.

The air is cleaner now than when I was a kid. Global warming is nothing but pork for scientists and politicians.
