Yes. All my freedoms have been stolen from me. Please tell me what freedoms have been taken from you and how the loss of each freedom has affected you personally.

Wow, you must live in Canada if all your freedoms have been taken. I don't have an eternity tell you how the intrusion of the government has affected me. If you're unable to recognize your own loss of liberty you should open your eyes; unless you welcome the tyranny of government.

Only when it's bunk science. Liberals hate logic and common sense, preferring to appeal to emotions such as guilt or fear...(oh, don't kill the baby seals!)

Hype gets people into a frenzy, with people in that mindset you can get legislation passed that would normally fail very fast. Both sides do it to an extent and it has been going on since the beginning of time.

I love reading this article considering the claims made about warming these days and the proclaimed doom of it. I find it funny that they can repeat this scam so close to its previously debunked attempt and people still take it seriously.

As they review the bizarre and unpredictable weather pattern of the past several years, a growing number of scientists are beginning to suspect that many seemingly contradictory meteorological fluctuations are actually part of a global climatic upheaval. However widely the weather varies from place to place and time to time, when meteorologists take an average of temperatures around the globe they find that the atmosphere has been growing gradually cooler for the past three decades. The trend shows no indication of reversing. Climatological Cassandras are becoming increasingly apprehensive, for the weather aberrations they are studying may be the harbinger of another ice age.

Might be because its FACT, undisputed FACT. The only thing up in the air is how much we are influencing it, but its a fact that one day glaciers will again scrub most of the northern & southern latitudes clean.

*chuckle* I guess if one takes science, redefines it and makes up what they want science to be, then I would have to agree, they hate THAT science and for good reason.

Because there are glaciers but the temperatures are still moderate around the globe? Look up the definition of an interglacial.
