If anyone hasn't noticed from the Live earth concert disasters (major duds), the GW movement has "jumped the shark"... like the drive for the US to "go metric" in the 70s (or we would face economic ruin!) the public sees this for what it is (an attempt to put a ball- and-chain on the American economy so that we would play "fair"). GW advocates can cry and whine, the movement is in its final throes here, going the way of leisure suits and pet rocks. Right or wrong, the American public and even the press are "moving on"...
by the way, weren't we supposed to have a dozen catastrophic hurricanes since katrina, last year and this year? In fact, we have had none...the computer modellers were wrong again.
Aslo, in case anyone hasn't noticed:
1) it's not global warming anymore, it's climate change (encompasses everything and it CAN't be wrong, the climate always changes)
2) CO2 and cars are not really the culprits, it is now cow flatulence (the CO2 models continue to fall apart, so we need to invoke methane and, besides, this gets PETA in on the crusade)
Of course, Europe continues to drink Al Gore's koolaid. Let them...it will only allow us to steamroller them even flatter economically
