I know an owner of some oil transport ships in the gulf. I've been told by that person that oil companies make money so long as a barrel of oil can be sold for $25 or over. With oil trading at 5 times that, they are making a killing.

I'm not blaming big oil for global warming. I'm suggesting that big oil has much more of a financial gain to dismiss global warming than science has in promoting it. So if you dismiss global warming as a scam portrayed by science for financial considerations, you must also consider that...

Exactly. And "the old farts" that are bothered by it weren't going to vote for Obama had he pinned the flag to his skin.

It's also important to remember that the greenhouse gas levels and the recycling of the greenhouse gases has been balanced over centuries. An outside event would be needed to shift the balance. No such outside event has occured with the exception of industrialization and deforestation. Read...

There are cycles to the earths climate change based on numerous outside forces. Volcanic eruptions can block sunlight through the ejection debris into the atsmosphere resulting in a decrease of energy received by the earth resulting in a global cooling. Meteors that crash into the earth also...

As a scientist who has studied global warming I must say that it is a huge slap in the face to be told that I am wrong by a bunch of people who have no clue what global warming is, how it is caused, or what it means. It's the equivalent of some a-hole off the street telling you how to run your...

Actually I think I do get "it". It's a piece of metal. He stopped wearing it because it became a hollow symbol of something that shouldn't even be in question of someone serving in our government. It's like wearing a cross necklace to church.

Most scientists do not see a doomed future. They stress control of the situation to avoid the warming getting worse. Sellers of death and despair have prospered. See the Christian faith. Yes, we do know the earth is warming. We have thermometers. It is not a theory but a fact.

http://www.daylife.com/photo/01qN3TR2VoeAF Seems to me a flag pin wasn't necessary in the 2000 election. The flag pin controversy in a Republican spun shallow attack. George H Bush during anthem. Is he unpatriotic? If those pictures don't satisfy you, I've got plenty of others. As for the...

So long as you ignore Limbaughs, O'Reilly's and all your other cronies - yes.

I fail to see how a flag pin represents patriotism. I've never worn a flag pin in my entire life, yet still would not choose to live in any other country or want anything else than what is best for the US. I'd imagine all of you wear your flag pins around where ever you go? I looked around...

Doomsday prophecies should never be taken seriously. There are radical scientists that say global warming will destroy the earth the same way radical computer programmers predicted Y2K was the end and radical christian groups predicting the rapture and the coming of the anti-christ. It is...

Advice, education, whatever you want to call it. One-sided info from an economist on a scientific topic is not worth posting on a car wash board. I'm sure glad I got an education in science as to not be brain-washed by big oil.

Any time you want to hand out car wash advice Bill, I'll listen. But I don't go to an auto mechanic to get my appendix removed and I sure as hell won't take scientific advice from a car wash operator or an economist.
