I am tired of talk and inaction! I want our Government representatives to
agree to a solution that will fix the immediate gulf spill, hold the right people
accountable, address the environmental impact, and pass sustainable
energy legislation!

Who are you targeting in Congress to champion your effort?

It is time for do gooders to back off this illusion of global warming is man made. History shows that the planet heats up and then cools down. I do not disagree that the human race has done bad things to the planet.We all need to be good stewards to our planet. I do find it hypocritical that all you do gooders drive around in Prius cars with Lithium and other non recyclable type batteries. Not really Earth friendly. Wake up America,elect a new President . We have a lot to lose if you don't.

Would have been nice if some of those guys in the past would have done something but I just got back from a 600 mile round trip with my kids and I'm really sick how much I spent on gas. Needs to be fixed.

When Ehrlich predicted that England would not exist in the year 2000, what steps shouldIn 1970, when environmentalists were making predictions of manmade global cooling and the threat of an ice age and millions of Americans starving to death, what kind of government policy should we have undertaken to prevent such a calamity? the British Parliament have taken in 1970 to prevent such a dire outcome? In 1939, when the U.S. Department of the Interior warned that we only had oil supplies for another 13 years, what actions should President Roosevelt have taken?

In 1939, the U.S. Department of the Interior said American oil supplies would last only another 13 years. In 1949, the Secretary of the Interior said the end of U.S. oil supplies was in sight. Having learned nothing from its earlier erroneous claims, in 1974 the U.S. Geological Survey advised us that the U.S. had only a 10-year supply of natural gas.

This is how I remember it all starting. Al Gores mentor/hero Professor Paul Ehrlich said "If I were a gambler, I would take even money that England will not exist in the year 2000." The wackos have never been correct yet.

At the first Earth Day celebration, in 1969, environmentalist Nigel Calder warned, "The threat of a new ice age must now stand alongside nuclear war as a likely source of wholesale death and misery for mankind." C.C. Wallen of the World Meteorological Organization said, "The cooling since 1940 has been large enough and consistent enough that it will not soon be reversed."

I am in substantial agreement. Look at the history of this planet for that last 20,000 years. It has gone from glaciers in the lower 48 (one mile of ice covering New York) and year by year, the ice retreated. Who caused that? SUV's? Ed, get a life and leave the rest of alone.

How about you start "ACTING" less like an air head and wasting time on moronic issues that are not real. There is no such thing as "Man Made Global Warming". In fact we are cooling. I'll take warming any day as we can survive warming. We can't survive cooling. You actors make me sick when you start using your image thinking you know something. Get a life.

start planting trees and stop buying oil from people we are at war with. it makes no sense we are not using a greener source of energy - dont act like we dont have the resources here to cut - Middle east and China out...

Could you be any more vague?

Hey, Ed, keep your opinions to yourself and be an actor. You left-wing Hollywood types need to keep your mouths shout regarding things you know nothing about just to get a little press!

I don't understand why mercury filled light-bulbs are better than incandescent bulbs. Wouldn't it be more environmentally sound to find a way to recycle non-lethal incandescent bulbs than poison all of our landfills? If you put a 100% tax on incandescent bulbs for recycling making them $1.20 they would still be a lot cheaper than the mercury bulbs and I won't have to struggle to read. People that buy the mercury bulbs don't register their purchase so we won't know who to blame when our water starts showing signs of mercury. T

How can our government pass any type of legislation having to do with sustainable (controlled) energy, when there aren't any real viable alternatives to traditional energy sources?

Here's something sustainable for you, UTILIZE OUR OWN RESOURCES! We have enough to last over 500 years. That will give us plenty of time and money to research and invest in alternative energy without going to war or into poverty and communism. And create jobs for everybody in America. Wake the hell up out of your tree hugging stupor before you destroy us.

Sustainability is just a code word by the New World Order (NWO) that means to control. Our planet has a finite amount of coal, oil, and natural gas. The United States has the largest supply of coal, oil, and natural gas than any other country in the world. So based on the points made above, who should then have control (i.e. sustainable) of those natural resouces? Logically, it should be the United States, but since real political, economic, and financial power is constantly fought for by many countries they seek to take the sustainable resources away from the United States. Think about it

I agree, I think the issue in the gulf should have been fixed immediately. Now our environment is irreparably damaged, and thousands of animals were killed. We need to work our way towards cleaner energy sources asap.

Tell that to Obummer. According to the EPA all of us, every last one of us, leaves a carbon footprint. How much of a carbon footprint each individual produces I have not heard or even know the exact number. How is the carbon footprint measured and monitored. What is considered too much of a carbon footprint?

Irreparably damaged ?? What cave did you crawl out from ? Man has IMPROVED the environment, otherwise knuckle-dragging sloths like you would still be roaming the jungles on all fours.

Planet Earth has been cleansing and repairing itself apparently for billions of years and ridding itself of any human affect. Our 98.6 body temps are not cumulative.

Has anyone ever noticed that the 2 holes in Earth's ozone are strategically located at the North & South poles? Right where Earth's magnetic field flows out at the South Pole and in at the North Pole! Could it be that when earth contracts in it's breathing, it expels contaminants via those holes?

I believe the parent post is referring to the recent gulf oil spill, and not global warming.

p.s.
Sloths do not knuckle walk.

BTW--They just announced today the results of a 10-year study where they identified over 1,000 new SPECIES of underwater animal life. Did global-hoax warming create those too, just like you claim it is dessimating species ?? IDIOTS !!!

You need to get a life! Nature is the strongest force and always takes care of itself. We need to drill for oil in our own country. It's here and we need it. Technology in the oil industry has advanced far beyond your imaginary world of nasty do-no-gooders. Stop demonizing the companies who can help our country with independence, jobs, and a stable economy. Stop and smell the roses, they'll always be here.

I just heard that only about 10-20% of current oil wells are actually running at a profit -- the rest run at a LOSS! Oil is 19th and 20th century energy that we are dragging into the 21st at great cost to ourselves and the planet. We have plenty of healthy, sustainable resources to develop and invest in, which would also support necessary new jobs.

Exactly what reform are you wanting? Continued prevention of drilling for oil to become independent from countries that hate us because someone is afraid some animal will become extinct? The USA can't be held hostage for this purpose. I love animals, but many species have become extinct over the years and the earth is still going round. Will you support a plan that will allow us to become independent?

By government representatives you do mean President Obama, yes?

what are you blind? what mess? what gulf? quit with the lying! how do you sleep at night knowing you support such a 'farce' of an organization? take a ggod look at helen thomas, all the lies have caught up with her; you are beginning to resemble her physically. unhappy, dispicable, ideologues!

You do know that Global Warming is the biggest hoax in history? Invented by Marxists to globally re-distribute wealth. The Earth is now in a cooling cycle. Now what kind of Fabian Socialist Marxist idiot expects anyone to believe that the Earth can heat and cool at the same time?
