#2 Sort have missed something there bud. People like Markey need to suffer the fate of Galileo to comprehend institutional intolerance of contradictory data in a scientific question.

#4 If he's too hot and steamy, he should make a visit to South America right now.

"A brutal and historical cold snap has so far caused 80 deaths in South America, according to international news agencies. Temperatures have been much below normal for over a week in vast areas of the continent. In Chile, the Aysen region was affected early last week by the worst snowstorm in 30 years. The snow accumulation reached 5 feet in Balmaceda and the Army was called to rescue people trapped by the snow."

The reason for this happening is that we are in just the opposite of the greenhouse effect. Summers will be hotter, and Winters colder, because the thermosphere has reduced in size by almost a third. It is the atmospheric blanket that blocks new heat, but also holds in existing heat, moderating surface temps.

#5 It is really starting to piss me off that leftist radicals call conservatives "radicals" for *opposing* radical change.

In a way, conservatives share in the blame because once the leftists force through some radical change, they also force through the idea that it is written in stone, and can never, ever be changed back, no matter how worthless and disastrous it is.

And the conservatives buy into that nonsense, because they don't want to fight over the past, and would much prefer to try and fix the utterly worthless disaster.

#6 Markey is seedy indeedy. I think he should go up and spend some time on the iceberg and gather information about the whereabouts of the iceberg. He can call it his own country if he likes.

Welcome to the past century of life in America. The ratchet that is government turns only in a unidirectional manner and has for over a hundred years now. The left has been tremendously effective at implementing their grand vision merely by recognizing the fact that the sane and rational folks can't guard every frontier one hundred percent of the time.

#9 "2010 has been the hottest year on record"

I doubt that; or maybe January and February weren't abnormally COLD on your planet, Eddie. Besides, 2010 ain't over yet.

And "on record"? We've got records for less than 200 years, and those only in the populous West. Ethnocentric asshole.

"Rep. Ed Markey (D Idiot-Mass.)"

FTFY.
