Whatever global warming might or might not have done to polar bears, it has put Rick Perry's presidential candidacy at risk. The Texas governor clings to an ice floe of diminishing credibility, emerging in just about a week's time as intellectually unqualified to be President. He engaged in a brief dialogue with a child about evolution and came out the loser. Perry said there are some gaps in the theory. If so, he is one.

Maybe more important, Perry waxed wrongly on global warming. He rejected the notion that it is at least partially a product of industrialization, asserting that "a substantial number of scientists have manipulated data" to make it appear that mankind - our cars, trains, automobiles, not to mention China's belching steel mills - is the culprit. He said that an increasing number of scientists have challenged this notion and that, in conclusion, he stood with them - whoever they might be. In Appleton, Wis., Sen. Joe McCarthy's skeleton rattled a bit.

Perry is right. Man is not the cause of global warming or any other kind of warming. We have a sun, right? Look up and you will surely see it.

Evolution? Read Anne Coulter's article today in the Daily Sun.

Way too simplistic.

There has been one investigation and another pending investigation into the Climatic Research Unit at the East Anglia (widely recognized as one of the world's leading institutions in the study of climate change) that proves Professor Phil Jones, director of CRU, and other researchers withheld and changed data that discredits man-made global warming.

The proof came in 2009 when hackers accessed a server used by the CRU and posted over 1,000 emails and more than 2,000 documents showing evidence that the scientists has conspired and manipulated data showing man-made climate change isn't happening.

As to Rick Perry's "conversation" with the child, I was very proud of Perry's manner and demeanor while addressing the child. He got down eye-to-eye with the child and was polite and answered him. I can't say as much for a mother who would set up her child and stage this sort of thing, prompting the child to ask questions about evolution versus creationism.

Ann Coulter on evolution is a joke. Please read the attached link. I actually enjoy reading her column in the Daily Sun. What a wonderful way to get an early morning laugh.

As far as global warming being partially influenced by human interaction, just look at reality. Your "proof" is totally bogus, I am sorry to report to you. The hackers did not actually post what you stated. It was made up by the hackers. Look it up for yourself.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climatic_Research_Unit

Well whatever you think of Rick Perry you must think of me too, because I also completely reject the worldwide scam that is called "man made global warming" or "man made climate change".

I also applaud Rick Perry's panache in his engaging the child and not treating him like the rehearsed plant that he was. This is a man with class, and a man who scares liberals to tears. It's easy to see why.

Also, as an afterthought, please find more reputable links than wiki. I can change the data on wiki, and I'm not a climate change disciple.

The hackers didn't make anything up. They posted what they found. Jones resigned his post. The review of the incident said, in part, "...Whilst we are concerned that the disclosed e-mails suggest a blunt refusal to share scientific data and methodologies with others, we can sympathise with Professor Jones, who must have found it frustrating to handle requests for data that he knew—or perceived—were motivated by a desire simply to undermine his work.

"In the context of the sharing of data and methodologies, we consider that Professor Jones's actions were in line with common practice in the climate science community. It is not standard practice in climate science to publish the raw data and the computer code in academic papers. However, climate science is a matter of great importance and the quality of the science should be irreproachable. We therefore consider that climate scientists should take steps to make available all the data that support their work (including raw data) and full methodological workings (including the computer codes). Had both been available, many of the problems at UEA could have been avoided...."

No one in the field is denying that the emails are true. Only that they didn't have to release them because of the protocol for scientific data to be released.

There is nothing in your wiki link that says the hackers made up the information.

Here is just one man speaking out and explaining why the myth of global warming continues http://www.examiner.com/seminole-cou...rming-doctrine

"Examiner.com: If your theory stands up to scientific scrutiny, it would collapse the CO2 global warming doctrine and render meaningless its predictions of climate catastrophe. Given its significance, why has your theory been met with silence and, in some instances, dismissal and derision?
Dr. Miskolczi: I can only guess. First of all, nobody likes to admit mistakes. Second, somebody has to explain to the taxpayers why millions of dollars were spent on AGW research. Third, some people are making a lot of money from the carbon trade and energy taxes.

Examiner.com: A huge industry has arisen out of the study and prevention of man-made global warming. Has the world been fooled?
Dr. Miskolczi: Thanks to censored science and the complicity of the mainstream media, yes, totally."

Rick Perry is a product of evolution that stopped for a few generations. He sounds Neanderthal every time he opens his mouth.

Anything Anne Coulter writes winds up wrapping fish.....

The forum is starting to very much look and "sound" like the pre election year 2008!!!

I think it's hilarious. That's it? Childish insults? I'm much happier when that's all they have to say.

Hey Richie, when we get over 2000 posts maybe we will get better at insults in a more sophisticated way like you do. LOL
