I havent a clue why those are melting ice melts why is a glacier in south america growing . I dont know but were breaking 100 yr old record low temps and set a record for low high temp for friday. Until there is a palm tree in my yard and i can sit under it in January in short and drink ice tea i will believe. But when i see people drooling over the carbon credit market they cant care why ice melts either as long as you buy their credits. Big ole scam thats gonna drive us back into the stone age.

I see the week ahead is calling for high 70s and low 80s. Seems to me I remember July being a lot hotter while I was a kid. Hmmm……….

Why is the ice melting at both poles and in Greenland and in most glaciers?

Your carbon pollution comes from more than your electric bill. No doubt Gore’s is higher. Maybe you could both agree to stay home more and go to bed at sundown.

You’ve never explained why so much ice is melting around the world. Is there any answer other than the fact that the world is warming?

calling for near record low tomorrow night record low is 53 set in 1906. Better crank up Al Gore we need him out and speaking he has enough hot air in him to warm up our summer.

What about those bulbs ? What do you think we should do with them? Do you think we need a recycle center to bring those toxic bulbs ? Or can we bring them to your house to recycle them? Dump them in a landfill near you so they leech into your ground water? Can we make a more efficient safer bulb? If these things are so toxic and we have no current plate to recycle them why are we making and selling them? I would far rather use the old bulbs. I read where fluorescent bulbs can cause migraines. I suffer from those so i leave mine off more than i used to and i don’t have them near as bad as before. I’m open for ideas if none is come up with in 40 years we will be sitting in the 1800s in our houses and with transportation about the same pretty much if you can afford those electric cars. Got couple hundred million of those built yet ? You libs better get busy. Its like someone decided that all the advancements we have made are bad and we need to be taken back to a time before where it took you week to get across the country by train. Amtrak better come down with their ticket prices before i take a 6 hour ride when i could fly for half the price and be there and back in 2 hours. As for conserving energy Jerry my electric bill last month was $43.00 I barely make a carbon print in the dust while Al Gore makes craters flying his gulf stream jet all over and riding in the big SUVs limo’s he wants to get rid of. Not to mention the carbon crater his house hold utility bills are racking up. But Its Do as I say Not as Do.

Guess you better get busy Jerry building those to make up for the 60 % we get from coal power plants. There are some days here in Iowa the wind blows like crazy and there are days where there is no breeze at all .Make sure you turn down your thermostat to about 60 this winter if your so gung ho at wanting to save the planet also.I put $700 in my propane barrel last fall and didn’t even fill it and if this cap and trade gets passed hard to tell how high that barrel will become i know a lot of people out in the country in Iowa who heat their house by this means. Guess you tell them to suck it up take one for the planet. I wouldn’t mind one bit if this would do something to help the climate. Cap and trade is a big scam and its gonna take whacked up side the head with reality to realize Al Gore is a snake oil salesman and is merely looking to get richer than his wildest dreams from a few warm days. And i say warm until we start shattering record highs. I’m not buying it here. New York hasn’t even hit 85 degrees this summer yet. Most recent record high in July in Des Moines July 31,1955 105degrees. If we had some real global warming it might be more like 108 which happened in 1936. I hope you enjoy being scammed along with us all Jerry. This will effect everything we will buy here on out. I want you to get rid of your electric or gas dryer and go back to 1940s on back dryer the good ole clothes line. That will make some savings.

PS, If you’re worried about mercury pollution, stop burning so much coal–turn off your A/C and your computer to reduce coal use. Go with solar or wind.

This really is a dilemma for conservatives, isn’t it? Do we conserve our climate (stop polluting it) or do we conserve our lifestyle?

And as usual the more personal change is feared more: Don’t change the setting on my air conditioner!!! Let the planet fend for itself.
