I mean, I understand if a new Ice Age happens and we drop 100 degrees.

I don't get it. Except for the part where a lot of people are making a lot of money. Other than that I still haven't seen any govt. doing anything at all to stop this impending "disaster".

Matter of fact, right now while I'm typing this...the United States Federal Govt. led by a man who is 100% promoting Global Warming as a threat...has our war jets, tanks, humvees, and aircraft carriers putting out more of a "carbon footprint" than every car in the United States combined.

And that doesn't count the bombs they are dropping.

The only "urgency" I see our govt. feeling is the urgent need to enrich their cronies via the billions made in the "Carbon Trading" market.

And that does NOTHING to stop this "catastrophe" that ********** is agonizing over.

EDIT: Another question...if all of this "man made" climate change has led to a one half degree change and that's a HUGE deal supposedly...then wouldn't mankind somehow REDUCING the world's temperature by TWO degrees be catastrophic?
