Those who preach to cut back on this or that, and to be more responsible in caring for our environment, should also, live entirely by that same preaching. It seems that those who preach this responsibility are only talking the talk, AND NOT walking the walk!

If you look at those who really get ahead in life, and desire much power over others, they seem to do a lot of preaching, but not actual living by what they preach. It is very evident by their very examples of their lives. So, just because these "powerful" people, whose names are household words, preach what they preach, does not mean the rest of us have to follow them. Their words mean nothing, and we do not need any more legislation on "global warming" because there is also "global cooling." The earth does have temperature change cycles, and some are longer than others. There are reports that even Mars has global warming and no humans live there. Antarctica is undergoing a melt, but it is that seasonal change and time for that.

Why are we humans always to blame for everything? Government has to blame someone so they can pass more laws to control us more and more. Now who among you likes to be controlled any more than we already are??? I for one do not!

The governments creation of laws to control what they dreamed up in some fantasy as global warming only allows them to have more spending money to actually get what they want to spend it on. They want a bigger allowance, so they have to cry to the rest of us to make us believe that everything is a whole lot worse than it actually is, so that they can have more money to spend. Do you want them to have more money to spend, because you know it will ultimately come out of your pocket. You all will have LESS to spend, because of higher taxes!

Do you absolutely want this too? After they get their money, the government can spend it on anything they want, because they do not always follow through on what they say they will do, so why should any of us give in to them - WHY?

We need less government control, because isn't it "government of the people, and by the people?" So what are we doing, but giving up our stance in all of this.

Stand your ground as an American!

Constitution of the United States

The site above also contains the Preamble, the Seven Articles, and the Amendments.

~THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES EXISTS TO SERVE ITS CITIZENS~

Constitution of the United States

http://www.senate.gov/civics/constitution_item/constitution.htm

“Written in 1787, ratified in 1788, and in operation since 1789, the United States Constitution is the world’s longest surviving written charter of government. Its first three words – “We The People” – affirm that the government of the United States exists to serve its citizens. The supremacy of the people through their elected representatives is recognized in Article I, which creates a Congress consisting of a Senate and a House of Representatives. The positioning of Congress at the beginning of the Constitution reaffirms its status as the “First Branch” of the federal government…”

It seems that “We The People” are doing the serving of our Congress by paying higher taxes. Doesn’t this seem to be grossly turned around from whence it was first created?

If problems are created by our government to make everything appear a lot worse than they actually are, just so Congress and the government can cry to us for a larger allowance, doesn’t this seem like the movie “The Music Man,” who told the town there are problems in river city, so he could help them? That is the way these days to create more problems in the minds of citizens, so the citizens will depend more and more on the government. It also seems that our elected ones are making a lifetime career out of offices that are usually a limited number of years. More time in office = more power; more power = more money for them! What does that = for the rest of us?

So, the citizens give their elected ones a difficult time by not going along with the elected ones’ wishes, so more laws are passed and the citizens - “We The People” - will be more or less forced to go along with their elected ones wishes. NOW WHO is straying from the original idea of exactly why the government was created in the first place?

The battle remains/continues between the two opposing forces, but perhaps we will return to the beginning from whence this all began:
~THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES EXISTS TO SERVE ITS CITIZENS~

Everyone believes that most media is propaganda if it is not agreeable with
one's own life experiences.

This is not a debate that can be won by Nancy, you, or me. The fact is
that we will all win or lose together. Remember, nothing is good to the
extreme whether it be temperature or chocolate cake.

Certainly, some facts are absolute (e.g. temperature can be measured), but
what is the absolute reason for the change in temperature, nature and/or
man?

That is debatable among more esteemed scientists than any layman could hope
to be. So, the argument is not really ours to make unless we are doing
original research. But then, the framework and hypothesis of that research
may be slanted or at least subject to debate by another scientist.

Otherwise, your only source is that found in the public domain. Most will
not have the time or training to effectively research all sources. That is
even difficult in politics.

One thing is certain, as illustrated daily by information in the public domain,
the economies of developing countries will continue to grow. Those growth
rates can only be sustained by massive energy usage. That is the primary
reason that the USA has become the industrialized power of the world. That
is exactly why we consume so much energy.

Fortunately, or unfortunately, the cheapest and most abundant source of
energy is still fossil fuel. Socio-economically slanted countries like
China and India with massive populations are not likely to stop their
industrial machines while waiting for alternative energies. Their energy
usage rates will continue to outstrip that of the United States as they
become more industrialized. They will pursue sources other than fossil
fuel, notably nuclear, to sustain their power grid. However, their
populations are more than large enough to consume any vestige of fossil fuel
that we in the USA relinquish.

For that reason alone, it is in the best interest of the United States to
pursue alternative forms of energy. As always, it primarily falls to a free
society to unleash ingenuity. Albert Einstein said, "Everything that is
really great and inspiring is created by the individual who can labor in
freedom".

If United States energy needs become totally captive to foreign powers, then
freedom will no longer exist. Thankfully, we have individuals in this
country with the opportunity for free thought, and we have abundant
resources for alternative energy that could be used to meet some of our
needs. However, current science dictates that only fossil fuels can fulfill
the majority of our energy and lifestyle needs for the next couple of
generations at least.

In the meantime, most everyone is a hypocrite. What human being does not
want a cleaner environment or a breath of fresh air? Yet, we all continue
to drive cars (today made primarily from plastics to reduce the weight and
energy cost) in lieu of mass transportation, live in housing that is
primarily composed of petroleum products (e.g. insulation, paint, wallpaper
adhesive, carpet, bedclothes, furniture finishes, etc), wear clothing
fabricated from nylon, rayon, polyester, and elastomers, drive or walk on
streets layered with asphalt, ingest medicines derived from petroleum
liquids (e.g. analgesics, antihistamines, antibiotics, antibacterials,
sedatives, and tranquillizers are derived from phenol, acids, anhydrides,
alkanolamines, and aldehydes), employ plastics in virtually every component
of our lives (e.g. health, home, business, and entertainment), and the list
goes on and on. There is virtually little in our lives that can function
without the current aid of fossil fuels.

Let me further illustrate this point. Every year at the New Mexico Oil &
Gas Association meeting in Santa Fe, New Mexico there is an environmental
protest. However, those well meaning folks are energy illiterate like most
of us. They drive their cars to the protest: they are wearing clothing made
from petroleum fibers: they are walking on streets constructed with asphalt;
they are carrying signs made with petroleum products, drinking water from plastic bottles, and the majority are
returning home to a habitat overflowing with a fossil fuel lifestyle. If
they rode bicycles, even those are comprised of fossil fuel components. In
other words a truly committed protester will find it extremely difficult to
make an unambiguous statement.

That is why I support the Energy Literacy Project (www.energy-literacy.org)
for primary and secondary education. Since we spend the majority of our incomes on energy or energy related products, it is imperative that we develop as better informed consumers. It is too late for most adults, but we must teach future generations the 3Es, namely the interrelationship of energy, economics, and the environment.

The study of energy encompasses a great range of sciences, and its practical importance to our lives could make it the best vehicle to encourage growth and interest among our youth in math & science. Certainly, as a citizen of this country and this planet, it is one thing to take a stand, but it is always better to know where you are standing.

if everybody is doing it, why can't we ?!

Right, you are for global warming and you want a bigger jet. You make me sick and Mark Levin has you pegged perfect. You are worthless.
