hmm…wonder why this is coming out NOW and not in November….
hmmm…just a coincidence that the GOP’s opinion on global warming is/was “a complete farce, we need more time to study anyway to tell if anything is happening at all. We can’t trust these ‘liberal wacko’ scientists. (who have much less to gain by exposing pollution than the large corporations do by covering it up…those same companies that gave us money in 2000 and 2004…)”
When everyone you know dies of cancer you can lift your spirits by reminding yourself how much the Bush (and Bin Ladin) family’s stock portfolio skyrocketed between 2000 and 2008 and we didn’t have to become Europe’s “bitch.” We’ll all have no hair from the chemo, but at least we’ll have the dignity of eating Freedom Fries instead of french fries.
Don’t do a Dick Cheney and try to close your eyes and imagine it isn’t already happening either: 1 in 9 (or 1 in 8..I forget) children in the county where I grew up have unhealthy amounts of lead “poisoning” in their bodies. Just a coincidence that there are at least three factories spewing strange stuff into the air 24 hours a day within ten miles of where I grew up. Just a coincidence….that’s all. Sort of like it’s a coincidence when a 30-year smoker dies of lung cancer.
Oh, you are buying the Carl Rove hardline stance still?
well check this out then:

virtually identical to LA county:

Note the HIGHER CANCER RISK score for Washington County.
At least nobody is going to take away your guns though….
Thank You Georg-er..I mean Jesus
interesting article, however it contradicts itself.
“Could a climate system simply do this on its own? The answer is clearly no,” Barnett said.
“A circulation system called the Ocean Conveyer Belt is in danger of shutting down, she said. The last time that happened, northern Europe suffered extremely cold winters.”
so, if it can’t do this on its own, why has it happened before?
no matter how much pollution there is, there is no conclusive proof that global warming is anything more than a natural cycle. we know that the earth goes through periods of warming and cold, but we don’t know why yet, so jumping to conclusions (like some people are prone to doing) is not very wise.
I suppose you are choosing to believe also that Mark White put that bug in Karl’s office in 1986 and that John McCain did father an illigitamate black child.
The first man to jump off a cliff probably used this same logic. “nobody has done this before…there is no PROOF that I’ll die so why play it safe, y’all could be wrong about me splattering my guts..maybe I’ll just bounce”
Why do republicans always prefer to learn things the hard way?
oops
that was from me, not “beastmaster”….a certain someone forgot to log out the last time he posted something on here from my computer
