    First, a note about spelling and punctuation. Those of you commenting in semi-gibberish text speak, e.g., "u r a looser [SIC], lol!" immediately undermine your credibility and predispose the reader to believe you are morons. Of course, it's not as if your messages tend to disabuse one of this assumption, so it may actually be a useful sign post for the discriminating reader. Rather than repeat the propaganda you are spoon fed by your teachers and the popular press, try reading up on the controversy (the amount that humans contribute to climate change is highly disputed), then sound off intelligently. This article is interesting. Bjorn Lomborg's skeptical-environmentalist observations are interesting. Richard Lindgren, an MIT professor, has interesting observations as well.
