1. I am with the 50 to 55% of America, and growing, that think this is hype.
Sorry, but it appears a lot of what has been hyped over the last 20 years on the global warming/ climate change front were bald face lies.

7. So you gotta be a global warming alarmist and believer here? Funny, I thought we needed moderates.
I am pretty sure the party needs moderates to win any elections. Especially more so in 2010 than maybe ever before by the looks of things. So a moderate comes here and you look for reasons to tick them off and throw them out?

Way to go. Lose some more votes why dontcha.

8. False dichotomy. Either you are a "disbeliever" or you are an "alarmist."
Edited on Tue Dec-15-09 10:08 PM by Speck Tater
There are no other choices.

That's the kind of black-and-white extremist right-wing thinking that is destroying our country. "Either you are a conservative or you are a Communist." "Either you support Bush or you hate America." "Either you are a war monger or you are a traitor." All these either-or false dichotomies are just nonsense.

So excuse me if I point out that your call for moderation rings false when you label all who disagree with you as "alarmists". That's far from being the kind of "moderate" you seem to be praising.

On Edit: I don't give a shit whether you "believe in" global warming or not. Nature votes last, and will have the final word. I don't need to prove a damn thing to you. I just need to wait a few years until nature pushes your face in it.

Americans Favor U.S. Signature on Copenhagen Treaty

However, most say U.S. economy should be the higher priority at this time

by Lydia Saad

PRINCETON, NJ -- Just over half of Americans, 55%, favor the United States' signing a binding treaty in Copenhagen that would commit the U.S. to significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions, while 38% oppose it. Democratic endorsement of a treaty (79% are in favor) is somewhat higher than Republican resistance (65% are opposed), while independents' views are identical to the national average.
