Letterman had a good one last night. Bush wants to spend billions to send a man to the moon in three days. Hey, it's a heckuva improvement as it only cost the country about the same amount for him in five days to get from Crawford to Washington.
Yeah, I know. It's just a late night comedian, but he's done his share of Clinton bj jokes as well.

On a More Serious Note: The Causes are Far From a Settled Issue.
" The Sun's radiance may well have an impact on climate change but it needs to be looked at in conjunction with other factors such as greenhouse gases, sulphate aerosols and volcano activity," he said. The research adds weight to the views of David Bellamy, the conservationist. "Global warming - at least the modern nightmare version - is a myth," he said. "I am sure of it and so are a growing number of scientists. But what is really worrying is that the world's politicians and policy-makers are not.
"Instead, they have an unshakeable faith in what has, unfortunately, become one of the central credos of the environmental movement: humans burn fossil fuels, which release increased levels of carbon dioxide - the principal so-called greenhouse gas - into the atmosphere, causing the atmosphere to heat up. They say this is global warming: I say this is poppycock."

The scientists have themselves to blame. As the cold war was winding down, research grants were drying up, so they made up global warming and scared everyone into giving them money to study it. The process by which this occurred was more organic and less conspiratorial than I just made it sound, but basically that's what happened.
I am actually surprised it has become so accepted as fact by the general public. To me it is still a new idea -- I remember when they first came up with it in the 80's as an idea. I thought, that's interesting -- I'll be keeping an eye on what they come up with to support it. I'm still waiting, but the endless repetition of the thesis seems to have turned it into a fact. I guess it is still generating those research grant dollars, in any case...

I think we as humans have way too high opinion of our ability to influence the climate of the planet to a point where it causes disastrous results. The planet warms up and cools down, it is just a cycle, but the environmentalists have to have something to gripe about I guess.

Tom, if you'll go back and read some of my old posts on Global Warming I kept asking the libs if we were to cause of global warming, how did they account for the fact there was global warming on other planets? Never got an answer, just more diatribe.

The answer is simple: Those planets are mostly occupied by "fat, lazy and dumb" beings who don't give a flip about their environment, either.

Just Google "Mars Global Surveyor" -- it has been orbiting Mars since 1997 and has observed the polar caps shrink about 3 meters a year...
