By way of preface, I am against pollution and polluters. The cleaner the air and water the better I like it. I have personally planted hundreds of trees because, I like trees and all trees do for us.

Now, having said that, Global Warming is a great con. Earth's atmosphere is dynamic, always changing. Our climate is driven by the Sun. Period. Through the eons there have been tremendous droughts, extreme wet periods, ice ages, air choked with soot and ash, volcanic gases, high oxygen content, low oxygen and so on, all without the help of mankind or Al Gore. The con is this: set some arbitrary norm as the standard for all of Earth for all time then point to any deviation or fluctuation as evidence that Man is somehow destroying the atmosphere. Point out that all industry, all human activities need to be controlled to prevent such a catastrophe. Now who is wise enough and has the political acumen to exert that control? Why the person who has defined the problem: Al Gore!!! Yup. Vote for Al.

By the way, are you guys back east enjoying your Global Warming this Spring? Too bad about those high fuel bills.

Did you know that the mean surface temperature on Mars has risen? Must be those Rovers we sent up there since only Man can effect Global climate change. Well, I'm gonna put another log on the fire and let the dogs in. I'm cold tonight.
