Your reply to politikjoe warmed the cockles (whatever they are) of my heart. :)
I read all the posts before replying. It made me sad to know that ideas are lost in the anxiety of political events, that there was bickering instead of conversation between you and politikjoe. I did not intend to break up a fight. I appealed to you as a friend, to take a step toward civility. You are truly friend. I love your heart, and we do think a bit alike.

The time for debate is not over. It is not time to argue. Inimical words directed at each other, just distance us from each other. Can t wait for the other guy to be polite. Must begin with me, with you, to take the first step, to talk reasonably. Or agree to just argue and bicker and make a bad situation, worse.

No, the clock has not run out. It is time for clear-headed thinking. It is still time to debate, in tones that will be heard. Yes, we need fair and honest people to vote out the current administration, executive and legislative, and replace them with men and women who will carry our voices to Washington. WIthout calm reason, beginning with you and me and politikjoe,those voices will not be heard. It cannot be just you and me and our "friends" here, to proceed with common interest. I suspect that if you and politikjoe have a heart to heart talk, you may find your frustrations much the same.

You know you re my fav Patriot Watch, the best!

Warming, cooling, we ve a cyclic climate. The earth is warming in places, cooling in others. It was happening long before the combustibles were coughing.

I do believe this article biased. It presents one side of the glaciers and polar ice. It omits the rate some American glaciers, i.e., Shasta, St Helens, Hubbard, as others around the world, i.e., Himalayas, Norway, are growing. Much of Antarctica has been cooling the past 35 years. Perhaps the most glaring omission in this article, as in most, if not all, articles that point a finger at man being the cause of global warming, is the effect of the sun and undersea volcanoes on our climate, which top the list of natural causes of climate change.

It seems to me that the distinction between man-made climate change and man-made pollution have been obfuscated. There is no doubt that the island of plastic floating the Pacific is man s doing. The fuzz that settles over the horizon on the mainland is probably a combination of pollution and natural weather conditions, as in LA, but an ugly haze nonetheless. The cooking fires of China were identified as the largest man-made pollutant. But even in the world of pollution, man s harm is diminished when compared to what the volcanoes put out. I ve heard that areas formally arid now have green growth, due to watering. Does it affect climate? Probably. On a grand scale? Doubtful, at best.

The international scientists promoting, by whatever name is currently Politically Correct, Global Warming, have a profit gain in naming man as the cause. The 31,000 scientists who signed off of Global warming last year, had their names blacklisted. http://www.politics.com/news/3303/ (There was also a video. This site s search feature returned a blank page for video search.)
I recently saw that another 8,000 scientists have joined the 31,000. And there are growing numbers of scientists across the globe naysaying global warming as man made.

I ve been in an active volcano. The steam vents are, literally, killers. The paths of pahoehoe or aa (lava) can sometimes be coaxed a bit here and there, but there are no man made gizmos, contraptions or magic that can control it. It takes an incredible amount of faith to believe that the effect of man is more powerful than the effect of nature.

I get it brother. There are so many games being played with two ID's etc by several people.

Joe I'm furious brother. I do not have time to listen to people who voted for this guy. Bitched for the past three years about Bush and neo-cons and being racist because I'm conservaitve and no one can back it up. Now the nazi is a socialist. he has said he is a socialist. he is proving to be socialist. So if you are not standing up for America and holding this guy acoountable- I'm balls to the wall. It's all over Joe by years end.

Pelosi and Reed are collecting votes for this ALL this stuff. They have no idea what the stuff is but they are collecting votes. Story last week claims Pelosi has enough votes for health care reform. What reform? What the hell is it?

Some liberals are starting to stand up for their country on this site. Beth Daisy & Jeremy to name a few. some one not mentioned here who is a liberal I sent a love letter too. They sent one back and said thanks. Than went on to say they are getting threatening e-mails. Ive called a few people a few names but threats are not what PW is about.

My mother & wife both are begging me to get off this site. We are all Chicago born and raised. We understand chicago politics. Need an example. Black Panthers case dismissed. 30plus Czars. Ive had a fly over. Ive threatened no one.

I'm calling a truce with you Joe because I truely respect you. If you want to debate I'll treat you with respect if I get it back. Your country needs you to stand up Joe. I got you flustered and you snapped back and said your not a socialist. Don't tell me brother tell this blog. we need your ration and head.

There is nothing wrong with our country but the man keeping us down and keeping groups of us down. Jobs and low tax is freedon for all. Our current government is slavery

PW - I was not trying to draw first blood with my comment, just merely having fun. From the onset it appeared as if you thought there was no climate change and nothing going on, even naturally. That is how your comments came across. Addressing that was the point of my satire comment.

If your comments were laid out and presented like you responded to hepsy it would be much easier and far more enjoyable to converse more often with you, avoiding the names, insults, and satire on both sides.

I am just so used to your targeting and lack of discussion calling everyone socialists without hearing them that I skipped to satire.

My response
I do not believe it is warming

Joes response

Yaa...ok, no warming. And the glaciers aren't melting either. They are just sweating from the increased heat. That's it, perspiration!

No melting or warming at all....

Now I can find numerous articles on-line from trust worthy sites that will show us all that the ice has been recovering for the past 4-6 years but does it matter.

Hope I have cleared up my position. hope you are sending Joe a note to tell him if he isn't an asz out of the gate maybe he will get rational debate back.

I get it. Your right. My point to Joe is there is NO debate in the Obama administration or in congress or the senate. i did not mean we can't debate here but when we do it is a joke because our government has decided our fate for us. They are not debating anything in our government. they have an agenda and they are trying to complete it by years end.

Government ran health care is done. Debate till your eyes are crossed but both Obama and FRANK have declared so. Cap & Trade is done. No Global Bullshid debate.

My point was not that PW knows best so no debate on Global Warming. Is the climate changing. Obviously. Is it man made. highly doubtfull. Does anyone have proof.Not as far as we know. Have the glaciers melted. yes. Are they coming back yes for consecutive years.

I like politicaljoe and crash as well. but I am not gonna sit here and let them take stabs at me because they are bored and liberal.

I am fair and honest with those who are fair and honest with themselves. I'm American born and raised. I'm 44 so maybe I was one of the last taught Patriotism and how our country was formed in the US.

The time for debate is over. It is time to join together and debate how we are gonna deal with our government. We need fair and honest people and need to vote these nazi's out.

If your liberal and your not holding this man true I have no respect for the kool-aid drinkers and your a socialist.. If you noticed most of the smart libs left. Not because I am brutal but because what can you defend or debate with this adminstration? Seriously. What good has this man done for this country? Close Gitmo? Is that it? It's still not closed/.

I respect and agree with your comment but the clock has run out. We are now both listed as terrorist according to the state department and our fellow citizens can report us for not agreeing with the KING. Not one liberal comment on this site on the topic.

They all were here to comment on Bush and the Patriot Act but yet Obamas Black Panthers (no liberal comments) ACORN (no liberal comments) Obamas snoop site (no liberal comment)

You know I am crazy about you

The debate on "global warming" is a waste of time, as you say, only when emotion is expressed instead of information. When there's an exchange of ideas, there is room to talk, opinions to consider. Passion is fine, too, but hardly promotes conversation, outside of its place.;)

You have lot good things to say, on global warming as well as other topics. Your passion is clear. Your content is not always clear. Is it your intention to elucidate the passion of your position, or the content of your position? I care about your heart, it is a good one, but others here won't give a rip. I will take the time to understand your point, but that's me, I like your fire. Politikjoe and CrashTack, I'm sure, will be more interested in your thoughts before your passion.
I'm just saying, 'cause you're worth saying it to.

Our health care system does not suck. Obama sucks and librals who voted for him really suck. Change needs to happen but not government take over of health care. that is EXACTLY what you socialist want. I have Obama and FRANK< FRANK FRANK calling for it.

Our government needs to lower taxs and make life easier for the peeps. Instead they are digging us a larger hole.

There is a debate to be had. Saying there is no debate is simply pretending there are no other opinions than your own or simply hoping you never have to defend your side. There is ample debate to be had over environmentalism and health care. Both warrant policy changes.

Our health care system sucks, it is broken. Should we go fully Euro-social? Probably not, but policy changes are needed to make health care better. Thus a debate is needed to find the best consumer market-oriented solution.

The same goes for environmental protection. There is plenty we do and have done that has hurt our environment, global warming aside. There are things we can do to make our earth nicer and cleaner for us. I love the outdoors, the mountains and oceans. I would prefer not to see them destroyed by human negligence when there are things we can do to protect them.

Oh, and not ALL African-Americans voted for Obama. That is a huge over generalization. One of my buddies who is African-America put together a whole group of African-American voters to campaign against Obama and campaign for Ron Paul here in Colorado.

The weather is changing. Thats great Koe. Did you go to college to learn that or di you learn that on MSLSD. Nobody has ever said the weather isn't changing. Only a liberal would think it is due to man made global warming.

It amazes me that there is recorded levels of carbon twice as high as there is today and there was no combustion engine. Hmmm?????

It amazes me that almost every fact Al Gore gave in his award winning movie has been scientifically proven wrong and yet there is still robnots that beliieve we are melting the planet. It's funny

The debate on Global Warming is like the debate on Health Care. A complete waste of time. Liberals and unions will cram this down our throat. There will and is NO debate.

The rebeliion is coming. The only reason there will be a rebellion is because liberal robots WILL NOT stand up for their country. they would rather be slaves again. Another funny thing is ALL black people voted this nazi in. What does that say?

The climate will alway change. There is no perfect set point. There is no thermostat to control.

For anyone who does think we can control the climate, they need to tell us when we no longer have to worry about climate change. If climate change causes rain and drought, hurricanes and calm weather, snow and deserts, glaciers and barren moutaintops, record river levels and dust bowls... when exactly will it be overwith? When can we sit back and no longer worry about the ravages of nature ever again?
