The core argument of the global warming alarmist goes something like: "we're cooking the planet with our emissions of CO2." After all, cars don't really emit methane.

Who has time to learn about climate change when the are too busy contributing to global warming ?

what should I do about it

If you can't personally alter things cause you don't work in a related field, what you can do is support those can cause a change. This goes for all things.

Mind blowing I know.

How do you keep your towers so clean and white?

What if my cause is to not support any causes ?

If you can't beat global warming join it !

You can't get people to agree on ketchup or mustard and you expect me (or someone else) to get 300 million Americans to end global warming...

No one's denying the earth's climate is changing, it's always changing.

A spokesman for the Boy Scouts of America says its national executive committee last Friday approved a resolution to lift the membership restriction regarding sexual orientation, while respecting the right of religious chartered organizations to continue to choose adult leaders whose beliefs are consistent with their own.

The move follows the Boy Scouts of America National annual meeting in May in which Robert M. Gates, the organization's president and former secretary of defense and former director of central intelligence, encouraged the group to "to reflect on the challenges, primarily regarding adult leadership standards, facing the BSA and potential alternatives for addressing them," according to a statement.

If approved, the rule would mean that the Scouts would consider all qualified and eligible persons for hire, without regard to their sexual orientation, for all staff positions that require membership. The executive board will consider the rule for ratification at a meeting on July 27th.

The change would also offer Scouts and their families the opportunity to chose local units "charted to organizations with similar beliefs, that best meet the needs of their families," the statement said.

The Scouts attribute the move to "the rapid changes in society and increasing legal challenges at the federal, state, and local levels".

The Boy Scouts has grappled with its controversial membership policy barring gays in recent years. In an historic ballot, its 1,400-member National Council previously voted to allow gay youth — but not adults — to join Scouting.

I'm all about not dumping toxic waste and chemicals, specifically mercury, or releasing large amounts of methane into the air, and even CFCs. Reducing ocean acidity, sure. But the war on C02, nah.

Even recycling of metal, I'm all for, there is even good money in that. Plastic, we could do without, especially in terms of dumping it in ground or having it released into oceans and lakes. Recycling plastic is not very environmentally sound either. I also like the idea of curbing Styrofoam, specifically in the food service industry.

But once again to put the main focus on CO2 and blame CO2 for everything, that's where I draw the line.

People keep talking about albedo. Is that what Al Gore calls his libido? Because I'm pretty sure it's directly related to climate change.

People keep talking about it because it's relevant... Same concept as using a windshield shade in your car, but you don't see anyone denying that makes a difference in the temperature of your parked car.
