Global warming is baloney

The Sierra Club, Greenpeace and the tree-huggers are the voting base of the Democratic party.

Global warming is the biggest hoax on the whole world. If you are not aware of it, the earth has been cooling for the last five years or so. In fact the cooling will last until sometime in the next century. What controls the temperature on the earth and mars is the sun. Man has nothing to do with global warming. Al Gore wrote a book called "Earth in Balance" in which he said we should get rid of the combustion engine. Another wacky idea.

"The Inconvenient Truth" movie that was produced in Hollywood and directed by Al Gore is full of opinions and scare tactics. The cruelest part of the movie was scaring people that see the movie that the polar bears will drown because the glaciers will melt from global warming. What a cowardly thing to do to the children that see the movie. Polar bears travel long distances swimming and eating penguins, seals and fish and then hopping on floating ice formations.

The Democratic party and the environmentalists with their Socialist ideas want to dictate to the American people what the emission standards for homes, cars, factories and businesses will be. This will ruin the economy of the United States with all of these mandates and ill-conceived ideas. In 1995 the House and the Senate passed a bill to drill in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) in Alaska. President Bill Clinton vetoed the bill. If that bill would have passed, we would be pumping over a million barrels of oil a day - the same amount the Saudis ship to us on a daily basis.
