I don't need scientific evidence, I have to shovel the fact that it's a load of nonsense every 3 hrs...

That can't be right though... Rush and many oil companies made movies and lobbied with hundreds of millions of dollars to prove global warming is a farce and we should pollute more to save us. Rush and the oil companies would never lie to me.
At least you admit there is some warming, most on here say that none of the glaciers are melting.

Maybe you should look at the science first then base your opinion on that, instead of getting an opinion first and then looking for evidence later?
Just sayin'.

Are you sure about that? Exxon man like 50 billion in profit last year and thats down from the year before. Chevron made like 30 billion this year and again that's down from the year before.
That is just 2 companies.
People focus on Cap and trade and think its just a way for the people to be taxed but its really not. Its a horrible idea that allows big companies who can pay to play, a way to cut costs and not care about their impact on the environment. This will actually make things worse and increase their profits. That is a much bigger issue to me. It also allows you to bring back production to the US without needing to meet strict environmental standards.
If they wanted to tax the people and make trillions its pretty easy for them to do besides cap and trade, just put a tax against the companies and they will pass it to the consumers. We see a price increase and do nothing of it. Pass a bill to tax the people and they will complain and protests.
Follow the dollar, it will go to the pockets of big companies.
