John McCain & Being 'Green"

OK...buckle-up boys & girls.
A little reality lesson for you 'Greenies'--- if you have the courage to insert some logic into the so-called global warming argument. First of all, is global warming even happening? If so, is it man made? Many reports show that it is not happening at all! (let alone prove that it is caused by human activity). How can that be? If it is really happening, there must be definitive proof which is able to correlate the 'supposed' warming with man-made activity? As far as I know, there HAS BEEN NO PROOF OF THIS!!!! If so, PLEASE show it to me. Remember, if man-made global warming is even happening, all scientists would have proof of it. There wouldn't be a 'consensus'... as Al Gore states in his propoganda movie & during his speeches. (Yes, I photographed one of his presentations at Castilleja School in Palo Alto) There would be undeniable proof. Why is this important? Because, the Scientific Method is the means by which it could be proven...not just a so-called 'consensus'. Remember high school, when we did our science projects (my kids still do this) and we had to do the whole Hypothesis, Experiment, Conclusion deal? This is the standard by which scientists are supposed to function...not consensus or opinion. It can be proven repeatedly ...with a predictable outcome...as a fact. If so, why can't climate 'scientists' even predict the up-coming weather with any kind of accuracy? Instead, it has become a political hot-button issue (with the help of PR agencies, I might add) that only clouds the non-sense. Why am I confident in these statements? Besides the scientific aspect of the issue, the political aspect is obvious... America is at fault. It doesn't matter that the US has the highest standards of any country in the world, we are always blamed. When was the last time you heard anyone being critical of India or China (even Mexico) regarding green-house gasses? They couldn't care less!!! Instead, the US is the villain & the other non-Kyoto agreeing countries aren't criticized...
Think About It! (And try to be intellectually honest, if you can.) As I've said before, this argument is based on facts rather than feelings.
OK...about John McCain being too late to jump into the nonsense. (Hello, Lilly?) Did he wait too long to jump into the non-provable hysteria for you? Or, is it just your political bias that motivates you? (Yes, you are biased. Obama, Wal-Mart, Conservatives, et al) Whatever the case, ALL politicians do what will help them convince enough people to vote for them in order to get elected. When presented with the acts, even us right-wingers are skeptical of the people that are supposed to represent our values...
The trouble is that too many people have fallen for the propaganda (John McCain, being one) to support their opinions (based on PR & media bias) about the subject. Again, if it's a liberal cause, it's usually based on 'feelings' and not research or facts.
FYI--- I conserve, recycle, re-use and intend to leave the planet better-off than when I was born ( I also teach my kids the same without being militant). It's too bad that the issue is polluted because of a political agenda. John McCain had fallen into a trap he won't get out of....hello president Barak Hussein Obama. God Help us All...even Canadians.

With all due respect, "as far as you know" when it comes to global warming isn't very far at all. To "prove" that global warming isn't happening, you linked to some guy named Anthony Watts's blog. Who's he?

Lots of the things you say in this post are just plain wrong. The US has the lowest standards in the world when it comes to vehicle emissions, not the highest. Lower than China's. Do you even know what the Kyoto Protocol is? Are you aware that other than the U.S., the only other non-signing country is Kazakstan? (They're probably being criticized for it, too. Pretty impressive company, ain't it?)

There's nothing wrong with being conservative, and I admire the fact that you have strong feelings about issues. But those strong feelings need to be backed up by facts -- otherwise, you end up looking foolish.

You called Al Gore's movie propoganda. I'll bet you've never seen it, so why don't you rent An Inconvenient Truth and watch it. While you're watching, make a list of all the information Al Gore explains that you think is fake, or wrong. Make sure to take note of the sources of his information (he always gives them), so that you can judge for yourself whether they are credible.

Afterwards, if you still believe that there's no such thing as global warming, or that it's not a problem, then write a letter to the Nobel Prize people demanding they revoke Al Gore's prize, because clearly he doesn't know what he's talking about. :-)
