Their plans were sadly thwarted in the past by the glaciers that exist today. ;) I use fluorescent bulbs throughout the house - not because I am trying to "save the planet,' but because I am lazy and those bulbs need to be changed less often.

How much of the current trend is just a natural cycle and how much is being aggravated by humans? In the meantime, if it's cheaper for me to buy the fluorescent bulbs, then that's what I'll do...

It just makes one wonder, the planet has been much warmer in its past, all without the help of humans. How much of the current trend is just a natural cycle and how much is being aggravated by humans?

In the meantime, if it’s cheaper for me to buy the fluorescent bulbs, then that’s what I’ll do…

Where in the "debate" (sorry) is any credence given to human ingenuity. Luckily we have nearly 200 years of cheap, easily extractable oil and coal. If we don't evolve by then we deserve to die off. I somehow think we will develop new technologies well before then. Well said. Where in the “debate” (sorry) is any credence given to human ingenuity.

The record heat marked the 20th straight day that temperatures have been above 90 degrees in Denver. Denver officially had its 19th day in a row with temperatures above 90 degrees on Thursday. This broke the old record of 18 days set in July of 1901." All I know is that it's hot... More “global warming” slanted reporting from a local rag in Denver today:

I think someone sent me a petition to sign to discourage Fox from "accidentally" slipping and using racial slurs when reporting their fair and unbiased news regarding Obama. I would say I have moved from a narrow minded Mormon republican to the middle somewhere, but to you that might seem liberal :) I have always thought Al Gore was a fanatic and subscribed more to the Penn and Teller viewpoints. Plus they are way funnier and usually have naked women on their show. So yes potentially I was wrong to use the "global warming" example in the context I did regarding religion, but then according to you I just needed to flip it around and it would have worked just fine :) But the main point which still stands - the Mormon author is a perfect example- regardless or whether or not "Climate Change/Global Warming" is valid or not he is opposed on the basis that it may deter someone from being a breeding morbot! So even if everything Gore is throwing our way and getting rich off of is 100% accurate and true he would still be opposed regardless of the facts, period.
