If a frog is put into a pot of very warm water, it will leap out.
But, if a frog is put into a pot of luke warm water and the temperature is slowly raised, it will be lulled into complacency until it is boiled to death.
Is this a good analogy regarding the Republicans and global warming?

People who don't believe in Global Warming should actually do some research on it. Seriously, only a small fringe of the scientific community agrees with you people! Get a real scientists opinion and chances are they *know* global warming is real.

no...i think you are wrong...please tell me what caused the last global ice age and the last global warming...you know when humans weren't around...once you can prove it then i will take it more seriously...i do think we need to start working on way to reduce emission from cars and factories and the such...but tree huggers don't want nuclear energy and that is the best choice we have right now...what would you propose...wait for the magical science of the future that isn't tangible...i won't fret over global warming...the world won't end tomorrow...but it would be prudent to take baby steps toward reducing emissions...but nothing like what the dooms day sayers...you do remember in the 1970's scientist said we are heading into an ice age...

Global warming is just a result of the political hot gas that polticians expell. if we can get the politicians to stop arguing so much, our earth may just stand a chance...

It's being reported that Bush is about to do an about face on his stance on global warming when he speaks next week. If he does so, I'm going to be laughing really hard at how stupid he's gonna make certain people look. Yes, its a perfect analogy.

Why yes, yes it is. Thank God we have the left to tell us how stupid everyone else is. (That was sarcasm for the challenged out there)
In the 70s, the "scientific community" was all up in arms, proclaiming the certain doom of mankind. Global warming? Nope - another Ice Age.
So - I guess Chicken Little would be a good analogy for liberals and the environment.

You see, there is no proof of global warming. For it to be scientific, you would need a completely identical earth that was the exact same age (scientifically speaking, a "control"). That earth would remain undeveloped, and after however long our earth has been around, and if global warming didn't occur there, then there would be a logical case.
Don't let Al Gore scare you with all his scientific terms, because, global warming simply isn't scientific. Understand?

There was global warming and an ice age before people had created any pollution. Just how do you explain that?
The inconvienent truth to the tree-huggering alarmists is that it's going to happen, or not, no matter what we do.
One volcano can spew as much greenhouse gas in an hour as all the cars, trucks & power plants in the world do in 10 years.
What makes us so arrogant as to believe our little contribution is going to make a big difference?

Considering global warming is viewed as being man made, and conversely natural, who's to say what's right?

Bush is going to reverse his stance on Global Warming later this month. 2007 is the year of the Flip Flopping president.

Global warming is a scam. I just read today that we are in a cooling cycle. If you want to live your life believing lies and being afraid all the time, then have at it. Life is too short to worry constantly about things in which you have no control.
