I would have to disagree with you whole heartily, Kurt. It seems that you are the one that is blindly accepting the right wing's talking points as fact. Here are the real facts.
1) The earths CO2 concentration is now at 400 ppm. The last time it was that high was over 3 million years ago, during the Pliocene period. The seas were also upwards of 82 feet higher back then. That would wash out the eastern and western seaboards. That's a scientific fact.
2) 97 percent of scientists attribute climate change (or whatever you choose to call it) to humans. That number is astronomical and it is just ignorant to disavow it. Just because you, as a layman, don't believe in it, does not mean that it is not real.
3) There is ZERO, and I repeat ZERO, scientific body of national or international standing that disagrees with the scientific facts of climate change. The last "scientific" group that tried to discredit climate change was the American Association of Petroleum Geologists in 2007 and their study was widely rejected by every scientific body out there.
Just because you believe you are right doesn't mean that you are right. The earth is getting warmer and there is no doubt about it. We can disagree on how to fix it, but there is zero doubt that it is real. It is just wrong for you to suggest otherwise. If you have actual FACTS to back up your theories, then I would like to see them.

Kurt S Wrote: I thought that "the planet has a fever!" Now liberals don't use the term "global warming" anymore, but talk about "climate change." Tornadoes, and huge ones at that, have been around for thousands of years. The only reason why some people (liberals) believe that there are more of them and that they are bigger than they have ever been is because you don't understand that with modern technology (satellites, i-phones, etc.) and a more populated earth we are seeing more of them because 50 years ago someone's grandfather could talk about a two-mile wide tornado but no one saw it except him because there were only 15 people living in the area and the other 14 people who saw it too are now dead. I have yet to hear one liberal who believes in global warming, oh I'm sorry climate change, actually be able to give me one fact to prove it. That is an amazing fact. Not one liberal can actually give me one single fact that supports "climate change," and I'm not talking about "the earth is getting warmer." Can you tell me the average temperature of the earth last year, and the year before? Do you know that "scientists" are changing the places where they used to collect weather data to places that are more conducive to the results that they want to achieve? Only someone who is truly arrogant would actually believe that people have the power to alter the climate of the earth. There is some credibility to the claim that natural disasters are not getting worse, there is just a higher concentration of people living in areas where disasters occur. So the death tolls and the property damage is higher.
However, this is just part of the problems with natural disasters that come along with severe weather. Global warming, climate change, whatever you want to call it is a reality. And with that reality comes more severe weather. More of the Sun's energy is being stored in the Earth's atmosphere, surface and oceans and that is the same energy that cause winds, and pressure systems. It powers hurricanes and blizzards. It melts icecaps and glaciers.
Climate change is not a "liberal position." That would be like calling gravity a "political stance." Climate change is a problem that needs to be addressed. There are many workable solutions ranging from reducing carbon emissions, to massive ocean kelp forests that would be able to reduce the carbon levels naturally. My personal favorite is a system of thousands mirrors launched into orbit so humanity can control the amount of energy hitting the Earth (I'm aware that this solution is extremely cost prohibitive and doesn't actually solve the problem of massive amounts of carbon in the atmosphere, it just sounds pretty cool).
The entire scientific community is pretty much at a consensus on this issue. You can do simply Google search for all the facts and numbers if you like. The only people who are fighting the reality of climate change are the politicians, the businessmen who would not benefit, and the people they have convinced to follow them. When it comes to scientific matters, I find it's best to listen to actually scientists and not to some lawyer who won a bunch of votes.
