One of the wonderful things about this election is that the Global Warming Deniers don't have a candidate who is as stupid as they are. John McCain, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama all plan on doing something to reduce carbon emissions. Bon apetit! thanks, K. Gringioni. |

By all means tell us everything you know about ice cores. One of the wonderful things about this election is that the Global Warming Deniers don't have a candidate who is as stupid as they are. Not nearly as stupid as someone who is willing to believe that the earth isn't stable. |

Any international treaty must be approved by the Senate. When the Senate got wind that Clinton wanted to sign the Kyoto Treaty it passed a resolution condemning the treaty 95-0. Clinton, sent Al Gore to sign the treaty, which he did, but Clinton never sent it to the Senate for ratification. |

Dumbass - It's a decade later. The Democrats will control Congress. The balance of public opinion has swung the other way because of the relentless amount of scientific evidence that supports the theory. The three remaining presidential candidates have the same opinion on that issue for a reason. You've got no horse in the race buddy. Get used to it. thanks, K. Gringioni. |
