How about a real public debate?

After having read several posts recently in favor of radical environmentalist policies supporting the hoax of global warming, there is much I could say.

But of what use would it be?

Although the left-wing media has proclaimed the global warmer nonsense to be fact and that the time for debate is over, I would like to ask when was a formal debate ever held? Let's not waste time and Herald ink with uniformed opinions.

I challenge all readers, either for or against the "man-made" global warming theory, to contact their senators and congressmen and demand that a minuscule portion of the many billions of dollars slated to be wasted on pork be redirected into a government sponsored public debate on the issue.

Uncle Sam picks up the tab for a televised debate, say about 2-3 hours a night for a week, that will allow experts from both sides of the issue to present their evidence supporting their positions. Then, a more informed public can decide whether "climate change" policies should be pursued and funded, and if so, to what degree.

Considering the current economic dilemma and the devastation that currently proposed regulations would do to our economy, no honest liberal, moderate, or conservative can deny such a debate for our mutual edification.
