How lacking in a positive attitude can you be. This is most discouraging, Call, please give me a good news article.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce does not run our lives - we do. We can take matters into our own hands. Solar electricity is coming on line thanks to gradually lower prices and government rebates. People are beginning to eat flexitarian.

It isn't the Chamber of Commerce that pollutes, it's transportation. Regardless of your political beliefs, your automobile gives off C02 when you drive.

When I have the money I will buy an electric bicycle. This is the beginning to the end of the madness of dependence on forelgn oil. A good electric bike runs on 300 watts, which is less than one half of one percent of an electric vehicle.

And I have made the commitment to ending the madness of growth and development, which destroys wilderness. I have no children, and plan on one child and adoption.

Ya can't really blame Donahue for his lashes and actions. He's behaving naturally as any frightened person would when they've painted themselves into a corner. Scared, he is attempting to be defiant; it is a self-inflicted posture one puts on themselves when the sails in their stance is about to be shredded.

These people are mass murderers; I guess their obsessive greed blinds them.

So global warming is beneficial because fewer people will die in the winter, eh, Mr. Donohue? Can't argue with that logic, because there isn't any to argue with!

For heaven sake...since when is examination of evidence out of bounds?

It is when the evidence can't stand close scrutiny because it has been faked!

That's why this nonsensical campaign against a legitimate organization asking a legitimate question.

What they do not want revealed is the continuous stream of recent science showing that there is no scientific basis for the scam. Here is one of the latest papers.

Peer-Reviewed Research Finds Africa Warmed 3,000 Years Before CO2 Levels Increased After Last Ice Age

Read here. More evidence that the trace gas CO2 is not a major 'climate driver'.

* And if rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations were not responsible for the initial 3,000 years of post-glacial warming (since the air's CO2 content was essentially constant over this period), there is no compelling reason to believe they were responsible for any of the subsequent warming (when the air's CO2 content was in a rising mode). By analogy, therefore, there is also no compelling reason to believe that the more recent historical rise in the air's CO2 concentration has been responsible for any of the post-Little Ice Age warming of the globe".

The US Chamber of Commerce is not asking a legitimate question, but asserting things based on dogmatic extremism. And so are you, Judy. And that piece you just posted here is IRRELEVANT to current circumstances of CO2 and global temperarure increases in the past century.
