The recent 'panic' to control greenhouse gas emissions and billions of dollars being dedicated for the task has me deeply concerned that US, and other countries are spending precious global funds to stop global warming, when it is primarily being driven by natural forcing mechanisms.

Recent warming coincides with rapid growth of human-made greenhouse gases. The observed rapid warming gives urgency to discussions about how to slow greenhouse gas emissions.

Believe it or not, very little research has ever been funded to search for natural mechanisms of warming... it has simply been assumed that global warming is manmade. Climate change - it happens, with or without our help.

Of Global Warming And Climate Change
Of Global warming and climate change we read of and hear
The changes in our natural environment gives us reason to fear
Of what does lay ahead for the children of today
We've brought climate change forward by centuries it does seem that way.
The polar ice caps are melting at an alarming rate
Our polluting of our natural environment not something to celebrate
To combat global warming we've left it a bit late
As a species we may well have sealed our own fate.
The burning of fossil fuels and carbon emissions have gone on for too long
On what causes climate change the experts have never been wrong
What we do to Nature in kind she repay
Global warming a threat to human existence many experts now say.
War and terrorism as a threat to humanity seems little at all
When compared to climate change it's impact seems small
Humans not known to learn from mistakes of the past
We must change our ways and we must change them fast.

Think on a 50-year scale, which is a much more natural time-scale for global warming. The US is right now spending about 200 million dollars annually on research into renewable energy.

Roger Revelle died of a heart attack three months after the Cosmos story was printed. Oh, how I wish he were still alive today. He might be able to stop this scientific silliness and end the global warming scam. He might well stand beside me as a global warming denier.

A Far Greater Threat
More of a threat to human existence than the economic recession is the ozone hole in the sky
That scientists claim is growing bigger as the years go by
Caused by carbon emissions that cause Global warming by experts we have been told
The climate is warming even in Lands known to be cold.
Compared to climate change economic recession as a problem seems small
To human existence on the Planet the greatest challenge of all
Is Global warming which we know is Worldwide
Due to our greed for material gain we've put Nature offside.
This World is for us to live in not for to destroy
For the future generation every young girl and boy
We are making life for them harder for our greed they must pay
I hope I am wrong in this though it does seem that way.
The economic recessions they come and they go
And after every recession the economy does grow
But Global warming to humanity is a far greater threat
As it does seem a matter of life and of death.

Mr. Vice President, the most fiscally conservative thing this government has ever done, is to invest massively in the green part of the recovery. Because those green dollars are the hardest working dollars in the history of American politics. That same dollar that is being used to cut energy bills, is also cutting global warming gas emissions, is also cutting unemployment, is also cutting poverty, through retrofits it's also raising the value of homes, is also by cleaning the air, cutting asthma rates.
Now, when we face a problem like global warming, and you understand that the biggest impacts on global warming come from business and industry, I think business needs to take a leading role.

I do not find the supposed scientific consensus among my colleagues. Curiously, it is a feature of man-made global warming that every fact confirms it: rising temperatures or decreasing temperatures. No matter what the weather, some model of global warming offers a watertight explanation.

It is the greatest scam in history. I am amazed, appalled and highly offended by it. Global Warming; It is a scam. Some dastardly scientists with environmental and political motives manipulated long term scientific data to create an illusion of rapid global warming.

The Administration should never have walked away from the Kyoto Treaty. Global warming is real and it is here today. The facts aren't the issue. The policy is the issue. I think the Administration's policy on global warming is dead wrong.

Cherish The Name
One sunny spring morning
as birds sang above
my thoughts seemed to stray
to a subject I love...
~ Global Warming ~
My knowledge was frugal
So I checked on Google.
And there before my eyes
Three words gave me
quite a surprise...
~ The Nobel Prize ~
In mid-twentieth century
this Prize was awarded
to an American biochemist
and his name we cherish...
~ Melvin Calvin ~
It was He who gave the world
a warning, under the title of
~Carbon and Global Warming~

One of the gaps in our international development efforts is the provision of global public goods - that is, goods or conditions we need that no individual or country can secure on their own, such as halting global warming, financial stability and peace and security.

To be clear, climate change is a true 800 pound gorilla in the room. The effects of global warming threaten global environmental upheaval over the coming century. But for South Florida and the Everglades, it could be our death knell if urgent action is not taken.

Global
I am global
My aims may have a high value
But I’m no noble
I am global
I bring the world together
Like pieces of a puzzle
And support all freedoms
But will gladly put a muzzle
To the peace that dares speak out of turn
You think the planet’s warm?
Wait ‘til you get burned
I am global
I move entire nations
By moving just a few
To see things they otherwise wouldn’t
If it weren’t for my view
And to the blind, willing, and able
I say, war is always an option, sitting
On a very convincing table
I am global
I care for the environment
And hug a tree a day
Right before I chop it down
To construct toll booths, oh, and a freeway
Because paving the way ahead
Means making the world greener
For tomorrow, but today, mainly for my beamer
I am global
I’m concerned about life
Even though I can’t die
My hard work makes your living better
I’m pretty sure that I can’t lie
Some falsely think I’m full of scorn
For rules, property, and people
But I can’t help but smile when a new baby is born
I am global
I’m everywhere and nowhere
I’m in your face and unseen
I’m everyone and no one
I’m germ-free and unclean
I’m everything and nothing
I’m in the lead and on your side
Keep your seat back, close your eyes
And let me take you for a ride

In fact, even the current administration now is releasing recent reports indicating that climate change is real, that global warming is occurring, that it is heavily influenced by man-made objects and that it is something we cannot ignore any longer.
China gets their oil from Libya. Why isn't China involved? They're going out spending billions of dollars a day on trying to take over the world economically. And we're spending billions and billions and billions of dollars on policing the world. Why isn't China involved with Libya? That - we don't get oil from Libya, China does.

Sex Before And After
at my age, there is more...
before and after...
at my younger age, there is a need for more sex,
before dinner
after midnight
before dusk
after lunch
at this age of depression, all these years of tension,
so much pressure, there is a need for more sex....
before noon,
after an office meeting
before going home
after a vacation
at this moment when crisis looms, this global recession,
this legal separation, this pending divorce, this global warming problems...
there is a need for more and more sex...
before death
after another birth....
