I like the reader comments as they inform and in ths cas eon Global warming.
SOme ideas and words I haven't used in my continued fight to say it is real no matter which or what the cause is.

Sebelius gets second coal plant bill: CJOnline - Sebelius gets second coal plant bill
The Associated Press

Gov. Kathleen Sebelius has received a second bill allowing two coal-fired power plants in southwest Kansas. She will have until April 24 to decide whether to sign it.

But legislators expect her to veto the measure, just as she rejected a similar bill last month.

Sunflower Electric Power Corp. wants to build the two plants outside Holcomb, in Finney County. Its $3.6 billion project has bipartisan legislative support.

The project has been blocked since October by Rod Bremby, the governor’s secretary of health and environment.

In denying an air-quality permit for Sunflower, Bremby cited the plants’ potential carbon dioxide emissions. Many scientists link man-made greenhouse gas emissions to global warming.

For a fair and balanced article, the last sentence should be rewritten. "There is no scientific consensus on the exact cause of any global warming that may be occurring." Read some of the current scientific literature in journals like Nature and Science. Note the number of articles describing the uncertainties in defining global climate. The link between hurricane intensity and global warming has been debunked. Recent articles show that cloud dynamics are not understood. The amount of CO2 released by vegetation has not been modeled properly. The list of uncertainties goes on and on. No, Virginia, CO2 has not been shown to cause any global warming.
In addition, Rod Bremby has degrees in psychology and public administration. This is a scientist?

You are right barticus; all of the other industrialized nations are wrong. Al Gore may be an idiot, but acid rain is just one example of what humans can cause to damage our environment.

The History Channel had a program about the history of concrete and how it's used. Part of the story involved a special acid-proof cement that is used on the inside of smoke stacks at coal fired power plants. They said if ordinary cement were used, the exhaust from the stacks would eat up the cement in a couple of weeks. The glaring fact for me was that this hideous exhaust was being released into the atmosphere! Other than that, there is a scientific consenus that mankind is causing global warming with greenhouse gases, including CO2. The pollution in China can be see from space satellites. Of course the big money industrialists want to confuse the issue so that they can continue to make money. They're perfectly willing to spend what it takes to get their hired researchers to issue conflicting reports. Those who are working to save the planet don't stand to make a dime from their efforts.

This whole global warming myth sounds like the unfiltered emission of a young male bovine.

Two worse case scenarios: 1. Global warming is a myth and we clean up pollution and find alternate energy to replace oil for nothing. 2. Global warming is real and we keep on using coal and oil and ruin the planet forever. Hmmmmm. Which to choose? Which to choose?
