Instead of all the he-said...she-said nonsense, how about some free and open thinking?

How stupid of people to pick sides with groups only for the reason to falsely find validation in your personal bias??

Does it really matter if there is such a thing as global climate changes?

Do you and others need a global climate change GUN held to your head in order to take steps in your life to be more sustainable?

Are people so stupid to not understand oil is a FINITE resource, that with increasing world demands, and static supplies, that the prices will continue to climb? And if you can't begin to think about this in your little greedy world, try to imagine the world of your kids and grand-kids with $10/gallon gasoline...or no fossil fuels.

Are people so stupid that they can't look at Lake Mead and Lake Powell and see how low the lakes are, to understand what this might possibly mean; no water and electricity to 35 million people?

Are people so stupid that when they see those huge chunks of ice breaking off land masses and falling into the oceans that they cannot possibly fathom ocean levels rising?

Are people so stupid they don't understand we screw like rabbits and the population growth is out of control?

Just look at every indicator and try to imagine how are we going to deal with these issues?

Why not be proactive on critical issues, do what we can afford to do in a time frame that suits us, and maintain focus on this project until we have eliminated most critical risks that are surely lurking around the corner?

The choice is to do nothing! Wait until our asses are on fire then blame everyone else then complain that your government is not solving your problems...and by the way don't raise my taxes!

The debate should not be about the global climate change GUN that needs to be held to your heads...
