First of all, I didn't identify myself as a conservative. Or a Republican. That is a label that you seem to have read into my post.
Secondly, you obviously didn't get the point of my earlier post about Chicago being covered by mile-thick glaciers 10,000 years ago. The last glacier which extended into Southen Illinois, receded as a result of a global warming, but it certainly was not a global warming caused by too many people driving SUV's or too many cattle feedlots, as the area had no civilized population at the time. Our earth is a dynamic geogologic planet which has and always will be changing as the inner core cools, the magnetic fields and the poles shift, move and perhaps even reverse polarity, glacial fields cover the earth and then recede, meteors stike the surface, our sun increases and decreases in intensity, mountain ranges appear and erode away, and continental plates continue to move. This has and will continue to happen without any regard to human activity. Taking just a couple of decades or centuries of climatalogical data and making suppositions about it the long-term history and future of our planet from that is certainly highly questionable science.
Third, only those who want to control the behaviour of individuals or businesses by passing laws, regulations, and treaties are politicizing the issue; not those who point out the folly of more laws, regulations, and taxes to address a problem that doesn't exist. Attempting to contol the activities of individuals or societies under the guise of a global warming concern could be construed as inventing a modern-day religion to keep the masses in their humble place. And Saint Gore, annointed with his Nobel Prize from above, shall lead the fearful masses from certain doom and environmental damnation, and into the eternal garden of climatological salvation if only we will follow his commandments. I'm not buying it.
