My kids about crapped their pants when they watch "An Inconvenient Truth" with me, until I showed them how Al Gore was exaggerating at every turn.Frank Stahelihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01822334061980912687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25646979.post-1873158506360907332007-04-04T19:12:00.000-06:002007-04-04T19:12:00.000-06:00Frank, I think I've figured out what your problem ...Frank, I think I've figured out what your problem with the global warming data is: It's scary. It occurs to me that you have children (I do not) and it might be too much for you to contemplate that they would live to see catastrophe.Anne Rettenberg LCSWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08924529514196589677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25646979.post-1541053073033992402007-04-04T10:31:00.000-06:002007-04-04T10:31:00.000-06:00Anonymous,Sorry you think I'm stupid.

It matters whether they think their job is to interpret the constitution or to make new law. I allege (quite correctly, I think) that 5 of them just made new law.<BR/><BR/>Five members of the Supreme Court decided that CO2 DOES cause global warming. This issue is still undecided.<BR/><BR/>I thought my argument to be rather intelligent, but that's just me. Who told me to disagree with global warming anyway, as you allege?Frank Stahelihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01822334061980912687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25646979.post-67139155051770335672007-04-04T09:31:00.000-06:002007-04-04T09:31:00.000-06:00Third branch of Congress?

Do you forget which party has made the majority of Supreme Court appointments in the past 20 years? <BR/><BR/>And in order to defeat an arguement, you must first understand it. Scientists do not debate the nature of carbon emissions, in fact they ALL agree they are pollutants. What they disagree on is the effect they are having on the environment.<BR/><BR/>Thus, the Supreme Courts ruling should not upset you as it seems to have, because what they have decided is that IF the connection between the POLLUTANTS of carbon emissions is SCIENTIFICALLY tied to Global Warming, than the EPA has "jurisdiction" over Global Warming concerns. <BR/><BR/>It's called interpreting the constitution, and our nation is built on the ability to do it. We do a disservice to ourselves and our nation and our political agendas by writing reactionary tripe such as what you have posted here. We must argue intelligently, not just babble rhetoric against an issue we are told to disagree with. <BR/><BR/>You're making us look stupid.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25646979.post-3411568996134050612007-04-03T14:10:00.000-06:002007-04-03T14:10:00.000-06:00Yet another piece of judicial legislation in the s...Yet another piece of judicial legislation in the spirit of Roe v.
