No.
Global warming is a joke. All of the planets have global warming right now.
Most global warming theorists have never heard of the term "solar variability". Solar variability caused the earth to leave the ice age in less than 20 years, and it caused the earth to have a little ice age several hundred years ago.
NASA: "Rapid changes between ice ages and warm periods (called interglacials) are recorded in the Greenland ice sheet. Occurring over ONE OR TWO DECADES, the warming of the Earth at the end of the last ice age happened much faster than the rate of change of the Earth’s orbit."
NASA link: http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Study/Paleoclimatology_Evidence/Images/gisp2_temperature.gif
NASA data has proved that the "Little Ice Age" was caused by less light reaching the earth ("solar variability", which means changes in the sun).
NASA's data about the little ice age. http://tinyurl.com/227h3p or ftp://ftp.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/da... (This data can be copied and pasted it into Excel to chart it.)
Other facts:
1) 6,000 years ago, the earth was hotter than it is today. 6,000 years is less than a second when compared with the age of the earth.
2) Temperatures dropped in the 1950's and 1990's when CO2 levels were increasing.
3) 140,000 years ago the earth had record CO2 levels and there were no gasoline powered cars.
4) 20,000 years ago, Canada was one big ice cube and half of the U.S. was covered with Ice. The grand canyon was formed by melting ice ages over 20 million years.
5) The temperature of the Earth has only increased by 0.65 of a degree in the last 110 years. There were faster increases in temperatures around 10,000 years ago and there were no gasoline powered cars during that time
6) NASA scientific data has shown most of the changes of temperature are due to changes in the Sun. Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto all have global warming right now
7) Also, strong hurricanes are normal. Hundreds of years ago, they used to sink ships off of the coast of Florida.
8) THIS GLACIER DIDN'T EXIST 7,000 YEARS ago. And that was after the Ice Age.
"A few thousand years ago, there were no glaciers here at all"..."Back then we would have been standing in the middle of a forest"

No, it would be a waste of money. You see, china brings on line a new coal fired power plant about every 17 days. The soot from their power plants has reached the Northwest already. The tree huggers want to point fingers and say " America is at fault cause we didn't sign the Kyoto agreement." but allow China and India to continue to pollute more than America does.
I always laugh when I hear global warming. A scientist, with no ties to the government, said on CNN:
" The earth is doing one of two things, we are either going into an Ice Age, or coming out of an Ice Age. Last Ice Age was 8,000 years ago so, the earth is warming up."
Just something to think about. Man cannot control volcano's and they, when they erupt like Mt St Helen's, dumps millions of tons of sulfur dioxide into the air. A green house gas.

No, because most children are easily scared and deceived. Al Gore says that it is America that is killing the baby Polar Bears and that we will all drown in 20 feet of water and then catch fire. Next he will tear off his shirt (heaven forbid) and scream "The sky is falling, the sky is falling!!"
The facts: If the Kyoto treaty were passed today, which excludes the world's worst polluters (China and India) and penalizes the USA, in 50 years the amount of energy from "green" sources would only make up .07 % of the total energy used in America, BUT our GDP would be almost immediately depressed by 14%. Great tradeoff, US recession.
It takes 1 BTU of energy to produce 1.2 BTU's of energy available in ethanol. So why not use the 1 BTU of energy (petroleum) instead of the .2 BTU's of energy from Ethanol? Just because it makes us feel good about ourselves?
Keep on scaring the kiddies.

Absolutely NOT! Although Mr Gore wants you to believe otherwise, there is NOT a general consensus among scientists that Global Warming is actually occurring much less that humans are the main cause of this. Our kids have enough real and immediate things to deal with without what maybe an imaginary emergency being added into the mix!

I don't know where you've been, we are already a pissed off nation. OUR Children Will have a Say in their Own Futures-- Just Like yourself And the Rest Of US. If people cannot see the Importance of Keeping our WORLD CLEAN then They're IGNORANT And we can Fix Alot OF things, But WE Can't Fix STUPID. It's Up to Them to learn, so why waste your energy on things you can't change?. Find a Positive Way to Make A difference in Your Cause. Ya Know I've Got A Original Idea--Have Faith

You cannot vote for a department. Also, I have never heard of a problem being solved by increased bureaucracy. If people want to do something about pollution and environmental damage, they should start with their own lives. Nearly everyone wants to protect the environment. Nearly no one is willing to inconvenience themselves to do it. We need to stop expecting the government to fix our problems.

Global warming is not JUST a national issue. It will do little if the only country addressing the problem is USA.
I would support any government that seeks to actually STOP the dependence on foreign oil and actually gets Results we can live with.

Not at all, because I don't think that global warming is something humans are at fault for, or capable of stopping. Nor do I think the consequences are as dire as that crackhead Gore thinks.

I'd vote for a governor that would take alien abductions seriously, there's almost more evidence for that than there is for the we are causing global warming theory. What a joke. You GoreMo!
