Global warming is a crock of Bravo Sierra. Why is it people can't seem to inderstand that the earth has been warming and cooling in cycles since before man walked the face of the planet?

Regarding SUV's, they are no more a threat to the environment than my dog. However, were we smart, we'd convert everything but transportation to electricity, and convert all electricity production to nuclear power. Then we could use oil and coal for fuel to power transportation only (as in coal gassification), and use synthetics (pure synthetics) for lubrication.
Trees grow back. Deforrestation is a matter of policy, and can be dealt with. Much of the outcry is much ado about nothing, b ut there are legitimate complaints.
