This post really intrigued me, beucase backs up how important of a problem global warming is. Being 18 years of age, I realize that global warming has such a wide spectrum and aspects tied to it, like the water problems in western usa. It is a probelm will greatly affect peace. I don’t remember when, but you had a specific artle relating to the water shortage in western usa. Obviously in this example peace will not be achieved if vital problems like these are solved. Also, I think for the Bush Administration and many republicans to turn their backs on global warming as a whole is pathetic and leads me to this final statement. Bush, as I can prove today, continues to ask for money for the war on terror, but just why can’t he do anything to help in global warming problem? Nice post David,thanks————-AJ Swenson

I agree with your last paragraph David. Even as a supporter of the overall efforts in IRAQ, I think that if we could shift just a small portion of that defense budget to “future” looking projects such as energy, infrastructure, etc… it would be a much better long-term investment.

Politicians always seem to pollute an issue. The ‘told you so’ environmentalist politicians who ooze self-righteousness and the ” I came out against global warming, but now that it is popular I better support it to get re-elected” opportunists.

As to tax dollars, I would rather spend them to support the development of alternative and renewable energy sources than the billions a month we are spending in Iraq.

I suppose I would be more receptive to the global warming debate if politics were removed from the equation.

If it were Joe Scientist from America University making these claims, and going on to win the Nobel Peace prize, it would be easier to swallow.

It seems there is so much hysteria stemming from this politician who is used to tell you want you want to hear to in an effort to get elected (that goes for any politician, donkey and elephant).

I also agree with you that it is smart to be proactive about this, however I think a guy has to buy into the notion that man has changed the climate for the worse before he can accept that man can change climate for the better.

As for me, I have yet to buy into this notion, and am not happy about the thought of spending my hard-earned tax dollars on such an effort.
