[…] not fond of domestic cars either. Remember when GM Chairman, Bob Lutz, told Stephen Colbert that climate change is caused by sun spots? Yeah, that’s the guy that ran GM into the ground. […]

Anonymous,
We have a fraction of the world’s biomass as forests that existed two hundred years ago. These giants (see Redwoods, Brazil, West Virginia, American Chestnut, etc.) of the plant world removed carbon from the think veil of atmosphere and stored the carbon from the air into cellulose, etc. Even larger stores of carbon existed in the ocean sediments. It took millions of years to store those unique collections of organic chemicals but we are removing them from the ground and putting the carbon into the atmosphere. It is difficult for a hillbilly like me to imagine how long the time period was to store the coals, natural gas, and oil, but it really bogles my mind to think that we may have released 30-40% of those carbon-rich energy stores during the last 130 years. Who are you calling a socialist/Communist? You must be calling Revelle a Communist. He’s the researcher who contradicts your average global temperatures are getting steadily cooler. ANd it you are right, are you comfortable with that?

Please spare me your righteous indignation and attempted humor on the subject of so-called “global warming.” I also like how your magazine and the rest of the media has now taken to calling it “climate change” instead of “global warming.” What a convenient and disingenuous change of rhetoric - now you can have it both ways, eh? If the climate fails to get warmer, and instead gets colder, you can then say, “See? Climate change! We were right!” Give me a break! Climate change has been happening throughout Earth’s long history - millions and even billions of years before mankind came on the scene, and began burning petroleum products for fuel. Climate change IS caused by sunspot activity and other astronomical events, and Bob Lutz is right! Your leftist “political correctness” on this subject is truly disgusting. Global warming is a giant HOAX, perpetrated by socialists/communists who want to use it as an excuse for their social engineering projects, and their attempted control of the masses: “What’s your carbon footprint, you evil industrialized human??? You should die off so the planet can survive!!!” The climate data actually suggests that if anything, we are entering another ICE AGE, because the average global temperature has been getting steadily cooler every year. The fact that Discover is toeing the communist party’s line on global warming is a discredit to your magazine. Enough with the lies, already!!! And please explain why your magazine and the rest of the media are now generically calling it “climate change” instead of “global warming.” Could it be because you are now trying to back away from your own lies, and have it both ways? I think so.
