its weather and also includes iguanas in FL

of course climate change is real... dig up dinosaur bones if you want proof. what nasa and some other data manipulators have done is simply fear mongering. do you know how much global temperatures have risen since they started 'keeping track'? this much:
0.7°F
do you know what the margin of error is on that? (i know some of you have to remember your statistics classes from college):
+/- .14°F

anyway, we all need to be responsible and accountable (cough, that's you CHINA!), but what i don't need is idiots passing laws to pad pockets of lobbyists' interests while claiming it's all in the name of a greener earth. what the hell do you think this business was over in EU? it was a bunch of rich people getting together to pass international laws that will put contracts in place to make their respective countries richer over the next few decades.
the scientists get money for their research, the politicians look like they care, and the bunny huggers get some sort of false hope. everyone wins! ;)

by the way... the EPA are a bunch of crooks. CO2 is now a greenhouse gas... really? we all should stop breathing then because if you factor in population density alone, you can easily see that the 2ppm rise in CO2 is congruent with the exponential rise in human population through the 1980's. oddly enough, the CO2 levels have slowed to about half the rising rate, while population density continues to climb at a similar rate... by my math (by the way i work at a bank so take all this with a grain of salt), the per capita CO2 levels are actually leveling off or maybe decreasing.

sorry for the rant... and please believe me, i do recycle, don't litter, and do drive a car that gets 35mpg.
