Two additional comments to fuel the fires:
Subject "Global Warming": This is an easy one! It's probable but still debatable that global warming is occuring. It is a FACT that global warming and cooling has ALWAYS occured throughout history! It is a FACT that there are many many reasons why the earths temperature changes over time, going both up and down! IF global warming is occuring now, it is a FACT that NOBODY knows WHY! A mathematical simulation model that's capable of analyzing all of the potential causes and their relationships does NOT exist. It is a FACT that those claiming that global warming is caused by humans and their use of fossil fuels are at best making wild-ass GUESSES! Ask one of those "geniuses" to tell you how many deegrees of warming are discetely caused by changes in solar behavior. They do NOT know! It is also a FACT that if humanity did everything possible to minimize the warming, the effect would be minimal and the cost would be beyond belief! Leave it to the left to spend multi-trillions of dollars on a problem that may or may not exist, that may or may not be caused in any way by human behavior, and which CANNOT be meaningfully controlled for ANY amount of money. Aren't they brilliant?
Subject "Fossil-Fuel use and Re-Newable-Energy Development": Those claiming that fossil fuels are non-renewable, and that their continued exploitation is dangerous and will take years, fail to use their heads! Surprise? Most anyone with a brain supports the development of renewable energies. Those of us with really useful brains understand that the development of alternative energies will be less of a financial burden on our country IF our industries are producing the maximum economic prosperity in our nation. Until alternative energies are fully developed and are economically viable, it is STUPID to starve our industries of coal, oil, and natural gas use! If we had a 1% true unemployment rate, reduced our national expenditures, and if we trashed unnecessary environmental regulations, our nation might have the monies to invest in future-energy development without breaking the bank!
After making the above comments, I'll just wait for some real smart lefty "scienist" to tell us, "It will take too long and only create 100,000 jobs". God forbid we should begin looking for the answer before the question is asked, huh? Let's wait till it's too late again??? As for only creating 100,000 jobs, this President should be happy to see ANY jobs created while he's in charge. Afterall, you can be sure he'd take personal credit for it!
