When confronted with Gorebal Warming fear, I bring up the fact that around 1000 AD the Vikings grew grain in Greenland (which is now under permafrost). Then I ask them about the shrinking ice caps on Mars.

And to think...0bama is shaking in his boots about getting scolded about this at the U.N. in PA. in a few days because we are not ahead in the carbon footprint green crap con game. NEWSFLASH TO 0BAMA: The world hates us no matter what we do, stop selling us out!!!

It’s really difficult for man to out-heat, or out-cool, Mother Nature.

Mother Nature is really HOT!!! And way COOL too :)

Carbon is the essence of all life on Earth, and when mixed with Oxygen does quite a few wonderful things also ...

Now, if we could only get rid of that dreaded DiHydrogen Monoxide menace (H20) all would be right in the world ...

/sarc off (of course)

The oxygen/carbon dioxide cycle, i.e. photosynthesis, used to be basic high school freshman biology. I always wondered why nobody seemed to wonder what effect reducing carbon dioxide levels would have on plant growth...

I know it's the basis of life. When I first heard, on the radio, that CA had imposed fines for polluting with too much CO2 from cars, back in the '90s, I thought it was simply a broadcaster's mistake. I thought he must have meant carbon monoxide.

When I learned a short time later that they really did mean CO2 I just shook my head. Even with only a high school education in chemistry and biology I knew it was fence-post stupid to call CO2 a pollutant.

CO2, is Carbon dioxide. Plants need it to make food with. Oxygen is used to digest the food the plans make. Without carbon dioxide, no plants.

all young growing plants say:

C02, its whats for supper !

coco, et al, get ahold of the video “The Great Global Warming Swindle”. its available on amazon, but apparently now takes some time to get a copy... i got 3 last Christmas for me & family.

i highly recommend this film. its all facts & contains some extra excerpts from interviews w various experts including one who was an iccp contributor at one point. he had to threaten a law suit to get his name off their contributor list. also a co-founder of greenpeace states that living things are abundant & thriving where its warm & very limited where there is frost. frost kills. compare animal population densities at Sao Paulo Brazil to Antarctic research stations.

it was available on revver.com as a downloadable or watch on site movie... its there now but there website gave me an error & wouldn’t load it...

good hunting.

you know what throws off libs more then anything. Tell them we are still in an ice age specifically a short 10k year warm period in the early stages of an ice age. Then ask.. why are we worried about warmer weather during an ice age?

they will think you are nuts but it is true.
http://www.epa.gov/gmpo/edresources/pleistocene.html

The EPA gives numbers when we will be 'officially' back into glaciation but we will be totally screwed long before that. first signs of glaciation will be world wide drought more so then noticeable cold weather.

Great catch.

From the site:

There is debate in the scientific community about what caused the glaciers to advance and retreat, but current theory attributes it to astronomical causes. Because of variations in the earth's orbit, average summer and winter temperatures change with time. There are periods when winters are colder and summers hotter, followed by periods when winters are warmer and summers cooler. The latter are thought to produce glacial advances, because the cooler summers are not adequate to melt all of the previous winter's snow. The result is that snow and ice begin to accumulate from one winter to the next. During periods when summers were warmer, and winters cooler, the glaciers are thought to have retreated. During the Pleistocene epoch, two or more centers of glaciation in Canada probably joined to form one large sheet of ice.

No mention of people causing glaciers to advance or retreat. They must have forgotten the obligatory "human caused global warming" phrase.

The Global Warming hoax is nothing but population control at best, and genocide at worst.

Always has been. Especially population control of countries that are not communist or socialist. ....and those overpopulated warlord-run countries... keep sending in diseases too but just can't seen to wipe out those vermin sub-humans. Worse than cockroaches, they are.

The Warmers should be kissing the feet of CO2 rather than declaring it a poison.
