What about the record snows in New York in the month of February 2007. It's been the coldest February in Texas history. It's all a bunch of liberal hype intended to scare the American public and to justify the existence of idiots like Al Gore, who spends $30,000 a year on electricity as he flies around in a Gulfstream jet. Quite the conservationist. It’s a bunch of crap. What about the record snows in New York in the month of February 2007. It’s been the coldest February in Texas history.

It's too important and people need to be made aware. While it's true that there is a natural fluctuation in the climate, which goes up and down in a predictible cycle, that up and down has remained stable for 650,000 years. Until recently, that is. If you charted it out it would look like an EKG strip--up, down, up, down, with spikes and dips, but you could draw a line through the center of those wavy lines, and that line would be a straight one, remaining level. For the past 50 years, though, that line has gone up, higher and higher and higher. Yes, there are still the usual spikes and dips, but the spikes get higher and the dips, not as low, so if you drew a straight line through the center of the spikes and dips for the past fifty years, that line would slope sharply upward, until it shot off the charts. This is not a natural fluctuation. There has never ever been as much CO2 in our atmosphere as there is today, and the global temperature increases in direct proportion. Anyone who's open minded enough to want to know the facts before forming an opinion should absolutely watch AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH. (It's on Pay Per View as I write this.) The science, the graphics, the charts and the studies presented in that piece really make the case and leave no room for argument. Visit www.climatecrisis.net for more information.
