Democrats/liberals if you are so concerned about global warming?
Answer:
OK, I get what you think democrats/liberals should do.
What should these guys do?
"Former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich challenged fellow conservatives Tuesday to stop resisting scientific evidence of global warming"
"Pat Robertson (very conservative Christian leader) “It is getting hotter and the ice caps are melting and there is a build up of carbon dioxide in the air. We really need to do something on fossil fuels.”
Ford Motor Company CEO William Clay Ford, Jr. "I believe there is now more than enough evidence of climate change to warrant an immediate and comprehensive - but considered - response. Anyone who disagrees is, in my view, still in denial."
"The science of global warming is clear. We know enough to act now. We must act now."
James Rogers, CEO of Charlotte-based Duke Energy.
“With overwhelming scientific evidence that global warming is adversely impacting the health of our planet, the time has come for the Congress to take action.”
Senator Olympia Snowe, Republican, Maine
"The overwhelming majority of atmospheric scientists around the world and our own National Academy of Sciences are in essential agreement on the facts of global warming and the significant contribution of human activity to that trend."
Russell E. Train, Republican, former environmental official under Presidents Nixon and Ford
"I agree with you (Gore) that the debate over climate change is over."
Rep. Dennis Hastert, Republican, Illinois
"Global warming is real, now, and it must be addressed."
Lee Scott, CEO, Wal-Mart
"Our nation has both an obligation and self-interest in facing head-on the serious environmental, economic and national security threat posed by global warming."
Senator John McCain, Republican, Arizona
"I'm trying to learn [about greenhouse gases and global warming]. The more I learn, the bigger believer I become."
Senator Lindsay Graham, Republican, South Carolina
“DuPont believes that action is warranted, not further debate."
Charles O. Holliday, Jr., CEO, DuPont
But it's not surprising you think this is a democrat/liberal thing. That's the plan:
"Rep. Wayne Gilchrest asked to be on the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming. House Republican leader John Boehner of Ohio refused to allow it unless Gilchrest would say that humans have not contributed to global warming. The Maryland Republican refused and was denied a seat.
Reps. Roscoe Bartlett (R-Md.) and Vernon Ehlers (R-Mich.), both research scientists, also were denied seats on the committee. Normally, relevant expertise would be considered an advantage. In this case, it was a disqualification; if the GOP allowed Republican researchers who accept the scientific consensus to sit on a global warming panel, it would kill the party’s strategy of making global warming seem to be the pet obsession of Democrats and Hollywood lefties."
Are you? Are you willing to give up your truck? I don't have A/C so its no problem for me.
I agree with you
I lived in Dallas Texas for two years without Air Conditioning, won't go back to that
I read John Kerry owns 6 huge homes and 7 SUVs, hows that for consumption?
I saw Joan Baez on the news when she visited Crawford Texas
I noticed she was in a full size Cadillac SUV, I was astounded she had the nerve to attend a anti war rally driving that behemoth!
This is very sad that you put politics and global warming together... If there is a problem that the earth is warming up, not matter is caused by human or not, we all have our responsibilities to solve the problem... I careless about politics, but I do care about taking good care of the earth for generations to come.
wow. if you are going to b*tch and label people then dont even waste your time asking questions like this. people always assume that if you believe in g.w. that you automatically must be a liberal or a democrat. what if a republican believed in g.w. ? OMG HE MUST MUST MUST BE A DEMOCRAT !!..wth ? you should think of becoming more open minded and go live in your attic because you .. someday .. will eventually get shot. karma karma karma. its a B*TCH. =] thanks.
Imbecile. Nobody's told you to shut off your AC. Nobody's told you you can't drive the car you want to (although we've warned you that the fuel you're using is damaging the environment). You people seriously need to stop lancing windmills.
Man-made global warming has now officially become classified as another kooky religious cult. It's politically driven, so it's the new religion of the far left loons.
It won't last long. It's like blood letting and the flat earth society. It's funny, but whenever they say it's a "scientific consensus," I am reminded that the "fact" that the sun revolved around the earth was a scientific consensus once.
Hopefully the uninformed will become educated on the real scientific facts soon.
I have not used air conditioning since I have had the ability to make that decision. So does that mean I'm allowed to tell you what to do now, being as I am practicing what I preach?
Not to mention, it is not only liberals who are concerned about global warming, and global warming is not the only thing to be concerned about in the environment.
I'm concerned about global warming because the scientific evidence is overwhelming that humans are accelerating it and this will lead to catastrophic climate change if we don't slow it down.
That does not mean I'm advocating that everyone turn off their A/C during the summer. In some places people need the A/C. I leave my thermostat at 81 degrees F, which is pretty high. I encourage others to do the same and take other action to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, thus I practice what I preach.
Maybe you should try listening to what's actually being preached and being less closed-minded.
Why does this always have to turn into a "political debate"?
Cant we all agree that the environment isnt doing so well?
I mean just look at all of the pollution, trash, smog, etc... Is that something you want your kids breathing?
No one is asking anyone to give up AC, but we are asking for better ways to fuel that AC. While you go and pay your expensive gas, electric and fuel bills, ill be chillin in my nice AC'ed house running on Solar and driving to work on that same electricity. Saving money and disconnecting from the current "grid" (or should I say IV) is a good thing.
I work outside, so i barely use the airconditioner.
You do realize electicity can be produce by solar panels, and wind correct??
You must really have to turn your AC up high when you have your head so far up a real warm place, that you can't even see daylight.
i agree 100% with u!
excuse me maybe you should talk to the starving people around the world. The reason they starve is because the have no food the reason the have no food is because of drought and drought comes from heat and heat comes form the sun and the sun rays get tapped in the aophere and are amplified by the carbon dioxide which cause heat what cases drought which causes hunger because food wont grow food and causes in the end suffering and death! And I am a limberest and I'm guessing your a Republican well maybe you should just hire someone to write back because that's what repub.s are doing wasting our gov.s money!!
