I've stated my opinion in most of these threads. Manmade global warming is nothing but fear mongering and a money grab.
Answer me this. In a few years when they decide we're having global cooling, do you think the price of gasoline will go down? Or natural gas? Hell no. Natural gas will probably double what it will be then because we'll have to use more to stay warm. Gasoline will rise because we'll have to use more to warm up our vehicles longer and well probably just because it can.
ie; Prices are up during global warming to curb our consumption. Prices will rise during global cooling because of supply and demand. It's a loose loose situation for the average person.
And for anyone that goes pffft at the global cooling comment. Check back in a few years. It's all about weather and since weather is dynamic it will happen as sure as the sun will rise tomorrow, it just won't be our fault no more than GW is now.

How are any cities going to be under water when the polar ice is building? And "Green jobs" aren't worth squat. Keeping the environment clean is one thing, but pushing a false agenda is criminal.

Well, NASA says recent satellite images show that the allegedly endangered polar ice cap -- which will melt completely one of these summers and kill off all the polar bears if we don't slash our greedy carbon footprints and revert to the lifestyles of medieval peasants -- has recovered to near normal coverage levels.

The same people whining about "global warming" are the same people a decade or so ago that were saying we were coming into another "ice age".
Life is no fun for some if there is nothing to complain about!

This just gives government the means to bring in new taxes in the name of "protecting the environment".
The BC provincial government recently introduced a "carbon tax" that applies to all fossil fuels. It's just a matter of time now before every province in Canada does the same.
Here's an excerpt:

If you drive a Prius hybrid, the government estimates the new tax will cost you about $20 extra per year. If you have a Dodge Ram pickup truck, that number will be closer to $68 it says

Also, "green" jobs are good jobs. It's all high tech, it actually helps the economy and if it cleans up the environment (which we HAVE made HELLA worse) that's a plus too!

wow craz3d your all over the map.. one minute I think you may be a conservitive.. and this minute you sound like a crazed liberal. Make up your mind will ya!! Sorry buddy, but the global warming myth is well debunked. It is a power grab and a money grab. The warmest year in the latest warming trend was 1998. It is cooling now... and a lot of scientists are saying we are in for a 100 year cooling cycle. best read up guy!!
