. It is a near-unanimous recognition among the leaders of the threat posed by global warming...watched the better part of a most interesting program on the International History channel last night - called the "Little Ice Age" it recounted a period of significantly lower global temperatures which lasted from about 1350 to about 1850, and which resulted in such incidents as the struggle George Washington had in his famous crossing of the Delaware which took nine hours because of the great amount of ice in the river, something not observed now because of the warming temps - but that warming is apparently just a return to more normal, typical temperatures with the waning of the "ice age" - in fact given this return to the norm, it is amazing that global temperatures rose only about .7 of degree in the 1900's (with .5 of the rise occuring during the first half of the century) - anyone not smart or honest enough to call the global warming hoax for what it is should never be prez.......

The problem is that you are paying attention. But your vote gets canceled out by 7 dumbasses who are clueless.
The political consultants to the GOP candidates are still trying to figure out how to deal with this dilemna.

What we know about world wide climate over the years is that it changes - not drastically, but within a few degrees +-. Quite bearable - most living things like a little warmer - more food, less need for heat & shelter in the nether regions. But can adjust and survive the colder episodes. The GW maniacs think that some perfect thermostat regulates the earths global temperature to their hypothetical perfect static temperature, and any variation from same is blamed on human activity, the evil animal.
These nutcases extrapolate a few years of barely perceptible warming into a future furnace in 50 or 100 years, or a few years of cooling into the next ice age. Pure insanity.
