		<description>I agree with Roberta and Shaithis. We&#039;re focusing on something too narrow with global warming. One, its going to happen regardless of what we do, the big UN study makes that clear enough. Two, it takes us away from the real issue and that is: we can survive global warming but we can&#039;t survive pollution. If we keep pumping our bodies and our environment full of chemicals we simply won&#039;t be around to worry about global warming. Where do you think modern illnessess come from. Its all the man-made toxins in our environment, it all finds its way straight back into our food supply and into us. I know, it&#039;s happenned to me. I just hope we wise up to it, so it doesn&#039;t happen to our kids and grandkids. By the way, the Inca&#039;s probably killed themselves by polluting their water supply with mercury thanks to the gold they dug up. Climate change probably just forced them to relocate. Remember the Romans and the lead poisoning their water. Pollution is worse than global warming. Its way more nefarious. </description>

		<description>I agree with Roberta.  I would like to add that I believe all the time and energy that goes into the &quot;Stop Global Warming&quot; machine could be better served with focusing on how we can be better stewards of the land and maintain it.</description>

		<description>This article helps to confirm what I have been preaching (to mostly deaf ears) for the past two decades:  (Roberta&#039;s Law)

&quot;The only thing in the last 12,000 years, that could have been worse for Planet Earth than &#039;global warming&#039;, would have been lack of global warming!&quot;

How could the &quot;human origins&quot; guys have missed what really happened to the Neanderthals?  They simply froze and starved to death, what could they eat besides each other?

It&#039;s a miracle that so-called &quot;modern man&quot; survived!

Sure I&#039;m all for a clean, poison-free environment. The real problem is pollution, that&#039;s a separate, but allied issue.

		<description>Skepticism is not welcome here, Shaitis.  Al Gore is god and he will carbon cap trade us to a Glorious new kingdom on Earth.  

Clearly this article was written by an agent provocateur from Exxon, because obviously a few degrees higher temperatures will destroy all life on Earth.  Think of where the world would be now if the glorious conquistadors had not taken away SUVs from the Incans.</description>

		<description>Interesting how Earths climate has changed over the eons of time.  I believe that man&#039;s influence over climate is way over hyped and there are several other factors involved that the green movement fails to mention.  Probably because it would hurt their political agenda.  Yet you can&#039;t escape the truth, that the last few years do not appear to mirror the predictions of global warming.  In fact they are the opposite.  This is very damaging to the overall environmental cause.  Because it shows that to a certain degree that skeptics are correct.</description>
