Not to throw cold water on Mayor Nickels' campaign to save the planet from progress, or anything, but breaking news reminds us that global warming predates George W. Bush's opposition to the Kyoto Protocol: "Ice Age Footprints Said Found in Outback". The footprints were found in a former lake that dried up thousands of years ago after non-SUV-related global warming ended the last Ice Age.
We still expect Mayor Nickels will remain popular in certain high-density zones.

Oddly enough, pollution levels are likely to be much higher in blue, dense, and densly blue precints.

Posted by: swatter on December 22, 2005 08:37 AMShould we try to cut down on the use of fossil fuels? Yes, in my opinion. I'm all for having cars that use less gas. I'm for a fusion reactor to provide electricity rather that coal-fired plants. I'm for all the good stuff that advanced technlogy offers, but I want it all to be market-driven and not implemented by government edict.

'Emerald City in "The Wizard of Oz," there is a dark side. Local governance has come to resemble that in those old movie Westerns--the ones where the powerful get what they want, public officials eat at their trough, and townsfolk eat dust and pay the bills.'
Winston, you're an idiot. There are very few conservative Christians that actually interperet the Bible that way.

Evidence that human activities have only a miniscule effect on climate change continues to mount, counter to the belief system of the Global Warmist cult, which maintains that human activities are the sole source of warming.

So I just don't buy into the Kyoto equation:
Earth + Warming = USA Pays
What if the earth cools? Do we get money back?

Ignore the Winston troll. His faith in the tenets of the Global Warmists has blinded him. He's probably too young to recall Jimmy Carter's prediction of a new ice-age coming, and how that fell out.
The Global Warmists are fudging on their predictions even now -- next they'll probably change their name to the more flexible "Climate Changeists". Motto: "I believed the Earth was warming before I believed the Earth was cooling because it was warming."
