United Kingdom = Warmest September since 1564 0r something like that.
Philippines = Worst hurricane in 100 years
America = New Orleans
All over world we hearing about unusual weather and flooding.
Is this the Global warming you talking about. What you doing to help it slow down or are millions going to lose their homes, businesses and lives in the future

"Global Warming" as the liberals claim... IS BUPKISS!!! It is a farce. This planet is going to do exactly what it has always done. There is absolutely nothing we puny humans can do to hurt this planet. We simply don't have to power.
The libs have been trying to fool us for years now saying we are emitting "Greenhouse Gasses" that are causing the earth to heat up.... That is hoarse sheat. 98% of all greenhouse gasses on this planet consist of water vapor. And where does water vapor come from?.... You guessed it.... the Earth itself. We as humans put less than 1/2 of 1% into the atmosphere. Hell, each and every volcanic blast that the earth has ever seen puts more pollution in the atmosphere than all mankind throughout history. The Earth cleans itself. That's what it does.
It also goes in cycles. From Ice age.... To "global warming"... It will continue to do exactly what it is supposed to do. With absolutely no concern about us.
Here is a ? for you...... How do they know what the weather is going to be like in 100yrs?.... Hell they can't tell us accurately what the weather is going to be like tomorrow. Much less 100yrs from now.
Point being.... Don't be fooled.
Oh... and as for the election... We will win again. We won in 2000, we won in 2004, and we will win again. Not even a ? there. hahahaha

Global warming has always gone on, but its effect is slowly increasing due to greenhouse gases produced by our enormously polluting tech.
Republicans will win in 2008. That's my prediction. The presidency is worth too much $$$ and has too much religious influence for R to let go.

A leading U.S. climate researcher says the world has a 10-year window of opportunity to take decisive action on global warming and avert catastrophe.
NASA scientist James Hansen, widely considered the doyen of American climate researchers, said governments must adopt an alternative scenario to keep carbon dioxide emission growth in check and limit the increase in global temperatures to 1 degree Celsius (1.8 degrees Fahrenheit).
“I think we have a very brief window of opportunity to deal with climate change ... no longer than a decade, at the most,” Hansen said Wednesday at the Climate Change Research Conference in California’s state capital.
If the world continues with a “business as usual” scenario, Hansen said temperatures will rise by 2 to 3 degrees Celsius (3.6 to 7.2 degrees F) and “we will be producing a different planet.”
On that warmer planet, ice sheets would melt quickly, causing a rise in sea levels that would put most of Manhattan under water. The world would see more prolonged droughts and heat waves, powerful hurricanes in new areas and the likely extinction of 50 percent of species.
Hansen, who heads NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, has made waves before by saying that President Bush’s administration tried to silence him and heavily edited his and other scientists’ findings on a warmer world.
He reiterated that the United States “has passed up the opportunity” to influence the world on global warming.
The United States is the largest emitter of greenhouse gases, most notably carbon dioxide. But Bush pulled the country out of the 160-nation Kyoto Protocol in 2001, arguing that the treaty’s mandatory curbs on emissions would harm the economy.
Hansen praised California for taking the “courageous” step of passing legislation on global warming last month that will make it the first U.S. state to place caps on greenhouse gas emissions.
He said the alternative scenario he advocates involves promoting energy efficiency and reducing dependence on carbon burning fuels.
“We cannot burn off all the fossil fuels that are readily available without causing dramatic climate change,” Hansen said. “This is not something that is a theory. We understand the carbon cycle well enough to say that.”
Most scientists believe global warming is due in some measure to the greenhouse effect, which occurs when so-called greenhouse gases are emitted into the atmosphere. These gases trap in Earth’s heat like the glass walls of a greenhouse. Greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide, are byproducts of the burning of fossil fuels.
And I hope any anti war candidate wins.

Geological history is riddled with climate change.... Ice ages followed by warming followed by ice ages. Global warming is real, as far as it being man made, that is a rather arrogant thought.
Which election?

Global warming, if it still exists, not too much. Need to know who is actually running for President - did some say Condi? (Or are you opposed to a Black Woman President?)

Global warming is a natual process little altered by humans.
I suspect that the Republicans will hold a majority in both houses.

I think Mother Nature has these things called 'volcanoes', you can't really turn them off...they're just really hot and emit molten rock....think of the earth as a soft-boiled egg....you're standing on the shell in a cool spot...

not unless the mexican-california border is submurged by the pacifics' rising sea level - that about what its going to take to drown out at least one other issue that's going to decide the election.
