For longer then mankind has existed, planet earth has warmed and it has cooled. BBQ has it exactly right. The first clue that the "Global Warming" movement was a scam occurred when they changed the rallying call to "Climate Change" as Yoda astutely observed. The global warning hucksters want to cover all bets.

"Cap and Trade" in spite of all the fancy rhetoric, slick websites and feel good window dressing is nothing more than another insidious political formula for big government to tax the sheep without calling it an income tax. Any increased cost incurred by business and industry will be passed onto the sheep in the form of cost increases for energy and consumer products effected by "Cap and Trade".

The sheep will never know what hit them until it's too late. The sad part is, they will never have saved a tree or the Maldives. How far above sea level are The Villages? Lower than the Maldives you say? Uh-oh.....global warming will bring new meaning to water hazard in TV.

BBQMan - Thank you for an intelligent, rational, common sense response unencumbered by "junk" science and the myth of global warming.
