"And when we reach the temperature ceiling we'll send out a global signal for everyone to open their refrigerator doors simultaneously!"

Yes, it's tribute...just like with Islam...where as an infidel your options are: convert, pay tribute, or be killed. Tolerant bunch these Muslims.

It is also said that livestock are great contributors to global warming..

The steam rising from the bullsh!t of these visionaries is cause for concern.

I'm getting tired of these Global Whining Socialists and their Tax America goals. It's time for the USA, Australia and the other non-Kyoto countries to impose sanctions against the UN.

I would really like to know how John P. Holdren and Peter H. Raven are funded to do their work.

I heard yesterday on Vanity's radio show the well-known scientist Daryl Hannah state that all the critics of global warming are funded by the oil companies or others with "something to gain" by their criticism. I have also had this criticism voiced to me personally by an eco-wacko that works down the hall from me.

Serious question: how to check on how people (on either side) are funded and who funds them? I'd appreciate any advice.

On the global-warming contributions of livestock: Remember the stories of giant herds of buffalo thundering across the Great Plains? They were huge, methane-spewing beasts of climate-change terror. Killing them off must have delayed the onset of global warming for decades. Good thing.

Now that global warming has been proven a farce, by both science and nature, the filthy Marxists are trying to move the debate to "climate change."

Don't let these liars do it. Always, always talk about "global warming," not climate change.

Temperatures rose an average 1.3 degrees Fahrenheit over the past 100 years. Tuesday's report said the world's nations should agree to limit further rises this century to no more than 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit.

I've got an idea! Since we can legislate the temperature, why not pass a resolution that makes it illegal for asteroids to impact the Earth?

The global cycle is starting to go into it's cooling off curve.

No problem for the environmental wackos. They will then say we are entering a new Ice Age due to human industrial activity. That was the line they used in the 1970s; it can be dusted off in the 2010s or 2020s and recycled.

Such schemes -- already in use in Europe under the Kyoto Protocol climate pact -- have been proposed in the U.S. Congress, but are opposed by the Bush administration, which rejects Kyoto.

Maybe someone should inform this author that the United States Senate, not President Bush, rejected Kyoto by a 98-0 vote.

My heating bill is pretty high, perhaps they could put a floor on the temperatures too.

Find out who is funding these people. Transnational corporations have a big hand in this farce.

I knew Ted Turner was bad-to-the-bone. Him and his buffalo burgers. ;-)
