General Electric Converts to Global Warming. When Will LIMBOsevic?
One of his many objects of ridicule over the past 15 years has been Global Warming. He won't give in until his rectal cyst explodes.

The debate's over: Globe is warming

Don't look now, but the ground has shifted on global warming. After decades of debate over whether the planet is heating and, if so, whose fault it is, divergent groups are joining hands with little fanfare to deal with a problem they say people can no longer avoid.

General Electric is the latest big corporate convert; politicians at the state and national level are looking for solutions; and religious groups are taking philosophical and financial stands to slow the progression of climate change.


They agree that the problem is real. A recent study led by James Hansen of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies confirms that, because of carbon dioxide emissions and other greenhouse gases, Earth is trapping more energy from the sun than it is releasing back into space.

1. GE makes nuclear power stations
which they promote in part by saying they don't produce greenhouse gasses. If nuclear energy is not your cup of tea, they also make wind turbines.
