Limbaugh doesn't say there is no climate change. He says that MAN is not the cause of it. Big difference, but nice try.

The SUN is at the zenith of it's 11 year cycle, a cycle conveniently ignored by the GW pimps. Volacanos are tops, followed by trees as the major source of "GH gasses", and due to man's intervention, there are more trees than ever...oh, I guess man is responsible...

Where's my chainsaw?

"due to man's intervention, there are more trees than ever"

I know Rush says this a lot, but I think it is one area in which he doesn't know what he's talking about. Go back and read descriptions and surveys by the first explorers of North America. It was basically all forested land east of the Mississippi. Fly over it today and it is mostly agricultural or residential tracts. I've seen dramatic changes in the past 50 years in the community I was raised in where large tracts of timber were cleared and never replanted, but turned into farmland or housing developments. We now see the same thing occurring in Brazil and SE Asia with large areas of forests being harvested and not replanted. I don't think it is an ecological crisis by any stretch of the imagination, but man has changed the face of the land. Sometimes its progress and sometimes it isn't.
