2. Let's make sure our efforts to become less polluting are really that

And not some scheme to pulverize the middle incomed with taxes for their utilities while the rich continue to plunder and profit

3. According to some mad woman on fox..

global warming is a hoax dreamed up by "the rest of the world" to force America to lower its standard of living closer to the rest of the world.
This statement is pretty bizzarre to me, as a Scandinavian.

But the so-called American middle class (which is actually a working class) has been short-changed and screwed since the 70s. To start worrying about some "sceme" now is four decades too late.

5. I am not trying to say that Climate change is a hoax. but the Cap and Trade

And the Carbon Tax - I am really starting to believe the critics who say once again the Robber Barons will be polluting full steam ahead, while we in the middle class will be paying if we sneeze!

4. Wow, Morales gets it. The rest of the World gets it. the U.S. people get it. When will the American

politicians get it?

Sadly, probably not untill Washington floods, and probably not even then.
