Did you notice that anyone who passed eighth grade biology class should understand that we all exhale carbon dioxide. It is as vital to plants as oxygen is to all animal life. Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant but a necessary part of the life cycle of our planet.

More carbon dioxide does not spell doom for our planet, but instead will mean lusher greenery, taller and more robust plants. For most of our planets history it has been warmer than it is now. We are in an ice age and the earths climate changes in natural cycles. There is no reason to think that it should always be the same as it was the day you were born.

However, having said that, I would like you to consider that the earth has been cooling for the last ten years, that is why the global warming alarmists have taken to calling it "climate change" since they can not make the global warming scam stand up to any scrutiny.

This way any change in the weather at all can be called climate change in much the same way we can call nightfall "sudden photon deficiency". Remember many of those trying to keep you frightened depend on grants and donations to keep themselves funded, and to be noticed by those who give grants and donations, they must be more and more sensational. If it wasn't for the insane laws being shoved down our throats, it would be a real laugh.

Unfortunately it is no laughing matter any more. The United States is preparing to give away some of its sovereignty to a foreign panel with the latest treaty that will be signed in Copenhagen. This is a very serious matter as foreign courts can then levy fines and administer punishment on American citizens.

Our elected officials are either complacent or blind to the coming threat to our sovereignty. In our country the climate changers are after money, power or are just dupes. Don't be one of them. Stand tall when someone spouts off about global warming and ask to see their proof. Don't accept the response of a consensus by scientists because there once was a consensus that the world was flat and that was not right either and scientists don't vote on what's real or not. True science asks questions and demands answers.

Remember more carbon is released be one volcano than by all the automobiles on earth and we are but a fly speck on the face of the earth. All of us combined cannot damage the good earth the way the alarmists would have you believe.
