    Since we’re having Kumbaya moments on the Political Forum lately, I thought I would offer the same opportunity that we have provided for Barak Owebama, North Korea and Adolph Hitler to global warming.

    Now I perceive that there are some unfortunate mindless misfits without the capacity of intellect and reason who will not be able to grasp even this simple concept. There are such unfortunates. They are not at fault, they seem to have been born that way.

    Being as objective on all things as I am, I will start: Global warming has given all those communist/socialists disguised as peace activists something to do now that the Cold War is over and provided 20 million jobs worldwide.

    Warmer is much less dangerous than colder.

    I will say it has brought into the discussion mans impact on the environment. There is no debate that the earth is actually warming up but the argument is whether its a normal occurrence or man-made.

    I'm believe mans impact is very little on the overall warming but it gets people talking about subjects they may not have otherwise.

    It's divided the left/right even further apart.

    More people hate Al Gore.

    Inspired another religious cult.

    Whether or not that's "something nice" is entirely up to you.

    We had a high of 71 F today. If Global Warming allows for a beautiful, warm day in the middle of winter---I'm all for it.

    I do believe he had both prior to his "mockumentary" but you are correct he has gained an even greater amount of wealth.

    I wonder if those who see this as doom and gloom have considered what it will mean for food prices.

    I mean if the north is opened up to a long enough season to grow grain, it will mean meat prices will be cut in half.

    Then everyone will be able to afford an SUV like Al Gore...well, I think he has six or seven of them, but you get my point.

    I think it does have some positive agricultural effects in places. It's extremely likely to produce more overall negative effects than positive effects, though.

    Any warming observed is entirely due to natural causes.

    Not entirely accurate. There is a direct correlation to Co2 levels and temperature rise but you could argue how much of that Co2 is from man and how much is natural. There is no hard science in that regard yet.
