Approximately 80% of our air pollution stems from hydrocarbons released by vegetation, so let's not go overboard in setting and enforcing tough emission standards from man-made sources. -Ronald Reagan

Carbon is one of the most abundant elements in the universe, in fact all life on earth is carbon based, our energy is carbon based, it's in the water, the air, the soil so how can something that is so abundant and occurs naturally in almost everything on earth be considered pollution?

The question of whether or not the US is doing enough to "stop global warming" is absurd in it's very concept, it's like the fleas on a dog thinking they can stop a bath or control where a dog goes. The earth has gone through many warming and coolings phases long before we were ever here and will long after we are gone.

The United States is one of the cleanest countries in the world our environmental policies practically cripple our industry making them spend enormous amounts to control the output of factories, the emissions standards of cars and trucks gets tougher every year, more and more homes are becoming "energy star" compliant, our electronics are becoming smaller and more energy efficient while at the same time our power plants are becoming more efficient at producing power, in addition to that more wind power farms are springing up all across the country.

So what is Al Gore and the rest of the world doing to "Stop Global Warming"? trading carbon credits, which has got to be the biggest scam in the history of the earth, I mean lets think about this for a moment, If I figure out a way to make your car grow grass and look like a big "Chia Pet" can I sell kits to you and tell you that if you
put this on your car it will be "CARBON NEUTRAL" because the grass will filter out carbon in the air and will make up for what the car is emitting is absurd "Hey Al you
are still using twenty times more energy in your home than I am".

The POLITICAL SLOGAN GLOBAL WARMING is nothing more than to make you feel guilty because you are killing the earth and get you to pay more taxes, do some reading you
will find that the average volcano puts out more carbon and pollution in a day than
man can in a hundred years and guess what there are a lot of volcanoes erupting in the
past few years, not to mention the sun is getting ready to end an 11 year sunspot cycle and isn't it something that that is just about how long we have been preached
to about "Global Warming"

Now if you want to talk about "Climate Change" well I will likely agree with you on that issue it does appear that the Earths climate may be changing, and arguing about
who's fault it is childish and a waste of time what we really need to be doing
is trying to figure out how we are going to feed ourselves if our farmlands become
useless, and how we are going to heat or cool our homes if the seas become impassable
