No wonder skeptics consider the left's belief in man-made global warming as akin to a fad religion -- last week in Italy, G8 leaders pledged to not allow the Earth's temperature to rise more than 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit.
For its next act, the G8 can part the Red Sea.

Hey - maybe that is what happened to the atmosphere on Mars.
Even if we achieved the perfect global temperature,(whatever that is) it doesn’t mean that extremes and devastating hurricanes, blizzards and death from weather will stop. The global temperature is just an average.
Their belief that they can limit the increase to 2 degrees Celsius by joining hands at the G-8 summit and issuing a statement that this is their goal, should have generated disabling cases of laughter worldwide.

I dont like what is found in the large print, much less what might be in the small.
Waxman introduced this bomb on us, Do his constituents have any idea what an idiot he is?
54 degrees at your house? Get the guest room fixed up I’m coming as soon as I can get the truck packed. :]
All that may be true, but politicians running in Michigan and Ohio and West Virginia don’t want opponents throwing chapter and verse of Cap ‘n’ Trade in their faces during the next election.
I think we had it Friday and yesterday morning.
Good fishing weather anyway. Sunny today with a high of 75.
Here is some interesting evidence: summer clothing sales are suffering in North Carolina — getting socked harder than the rest of the markets.
But to make it more clear, citrus crops keep getting whacked with unseasonable cold.
I don't plan to stick around here on the weekends.
Perfect! Can I bring my dogs?
Claire will say anything to stay elected in a red state...
Got a fully fenced yard. My neighbors put their house up for sale last week. Its a brand new house with some 700 feet of lakeshore that they’ve only spent two summers in.
I’m going to go with cold weather crops next summer. Greens and root crops grow very well here in Michigan.
Would they consider a summer rental? Houston winters are fabulous, I’d have to come back here then.
heck, the water in my backyard pool hasn’t risen above 72 all summer.....I freeze after I get out and cannot warm up the rest of the day.......forget the air conditioner.....don’t need it.
I think they intend to rent it out till it sells but won’t start till they go back to Fla in the fall.
