Why should I believe anything said by someone who is such a hopelessly biased observer of contemporary reality as to think that CNN is in any way Communist?
Yes, it’s true that referring to CNN as the Communist News Network might be inappropriate.
Oh calm down Edwin. It was just a joke. The fact that it touches a nerve with you makes me wonder why. CNN is, in fact, incredibly biased, despite having Lou Dobbs. And while it is a joke, I don’t think it is a stretch to say that the majority of liberals on CNN are pushing a socialist, big government agenda. Does it mean they are all Communists? No! That’s why it was a joke. Does it mean that CNN is a credible news channel? Heck no! If you believe CNN’s account of anything political in nature, you are naive. And to hold Lou Dobbs up as the general rule for CNN is plain and simple disingenuous. Dobbs is clearly an oddity with that network. Care to disagree?
Inappropriate? OMG people, lighten up! Some of you spend far too much time on the internet.
In the interest of truth, accuracy and the American Way, those 4000 daily abortions are merely the AMERICAN abortions. I have not seen what the worldwide number of daily abortions is, but I am sure it is a very large number.
Only corrupt pseudoscientists in the pay of the oil lobby are still trying to pretend that nothing is wrong.
Woo-hoo!!!
Oh please! Global Warming advocates have just as much, if not MORE, to gain by pushing this stuff on us. You don’t think new energy resources appeal to greedy folks? If you want to call reasonable people by the name of “laughing stock,” it shows your intolerance and close-mindedness. I don’t personally find the “scientific” claims for global warming to be terribly convincing. If that makes me a “fool” in your eyes, I would be interested in what you think about my stance on the origins of the planet or on other moral issues. Either way, I find it interesting that Science as a Religion pushers can have such infallible beliefs about scientific theories. Very interesting.
How do we know for a **fact **that global warming would be a bad thing? Yes, there would be flooding but people can move from the coast/low lying areas, no one has to stay there. We would consume less fuel in heating homes. The growing season would be longer providing more food to the world.

**I might also add that due to such a temperature increase the range of anopholine mosquitoes (and hence malaria) would also be drastically moved northward. Think too of dengue fever and the other so-called “tropical” diseases. One of the main reasons they’re not so prevalent in temperate climates is because their vectors are sensitive to cold winters. **
And keep in mind that in the tropics, falciparian malaria alone (there are four different types) has a mortality rate of over 50%.
**Keep in mind too that increased temperatures would also logically affect things like rainfall patterns. And we have ample evidence that rainfall patterns are important to agriculture; in 1315-1317, Europe suffered a terrible famine because there was so much rain all of the crops mildewed in the fields before they could be harvested. Think of what would happen if the rainfall patterns shifted, leaving the breadbaskets of the world too dry to support agriculture. **
This is a good thing? This is consistent with a pro-life position? The lives of whom?

Well, since we are bringing up theoretical situations, what would happen if aliens from a far away land wanted to take over the Earth? I guess we should spend a lot of time thinking about and preparing for such a scenario. Let’s dump trillions into developing weapons that could destroy any alien invaders. Afterall, we are “pro-life” and this potential situation could threaten all of humanity.

Coldiretti, a farming group in Italy, has been describing how it is now possible to grow olive trees in Northern Italy, up near the Alps. Olive trees require a mild, Mediterranean climate to grow, something not historically found near the Alps. They have also described seasonal shifts, and alterations in rainfall patterns (fewer but more intense rainstorms).Well, since we are bringing up theoretical situations, what would happen if aliens from a far away land wanted to take over the Earth?

Studies have been performed showing the slow creep of mountain life to higher altitudes to find the cool temperatures that used to be prevalent at lower altitudes, and the cloud forests of Costa Rica are slowly dying.
And, out here in California, we are in the midst of a drought, and the hills have not even turned green yet because there is no rain for the plants, and we are in the midst of what is supposed to be the rainy season. Last summer the mercury hit 113 degrees, and this winter was one of the harshest on record, with the citrus freezing. You can expect oranges to triple in price in the near future. Don’t tell me the weather hasn’t gone crazy…

This is completely irrelevant. How in the world does that PROVE global warming? To prove the theory of global warming, one must not only show that the EARTH as a whole (not just California) has risen in temperature, but also that this is due to man. I have no problem admitting that the average temperature of the Earth has risen in the last century, albeit minimally. However, science has no ability to show that this is not simply a cyclical process that occurs every 1000 years or so, which in fact many scientists believe.Coldiretti, a farming group in Italy, has been describing how it is now possible to grow olive trees in Northern Italy, up near the Alps.

The fact that you cite California as proof of global warming just shows how ethnocentric and egocentric Americans are. For every California, there is a Buffalo, New York. Are you now going to tell me that Buffalo getting about 14 feet of snow a week or two ago is proof of a coming ice age?
