    Yes, but it's a hell of a lot harder to work through those problems when a portion of the population won't listen to or even acknowledge reason.

    EDIT: Great example: vaccinations. People unwilling to listen to medical professionals because they think they know better than the smartest people in our society.

    Fantastic example. Those people are causing problems for the rest of the population too.

    I am not talking about "predictor models", dude. Rather I am amazed that anyone would suggest that the temperature in Cleveland (or wherever) is representative of anything except the temperature in Cleveland. Believe or not, Cleveland's temperature is not representative of either global or even the US average temperatures.

    If global warming exists, then I'm all for it, because it clearly is skipping Ohio. That being the case, we should see a huge growth in population in Ohio in the next few years, with Florida and some of the other states being covered by water due to all the ice melting. The increased population will help with property values in my neighborhood and bring in new business. So I hope you lefties are correct.

    Global warming exists, but not just not in Mor's neighborhood, or anyone else's. But it exists. Trust me on this one.

    Then what the hell are you talking about......dude......since this whole hysteria- and your contentions- are based upon flawed computer models? The average global temperature hasn't really changed for 17 years through 2013- in total opposite of what the models predicted. But in typical fashion- especially from a President who would rather decree than engage in honest, messy debate- the Climate Change discussion is declared to be "over".

    And forget Cleveland. Yakutsk, Russia -28 this weekend...although I guess that is "warmed" from -36 a couple of weeks ago.

    What the hell do vaccines have do with a belief in man made global warming. It's utter tripe, the science proves vaccines work with some exceptions (immune disorders and allergies), evolution is a solid theory with some holes (mutations and adaptations happen within all species but there is no scientific proof that these changes coupled with natural selection have led a species to turn into another) as is the big bang ( if all that exists is matter or energy, explain the singularity) but there is no evidence CO2 is heating the globe to the degree which would warrant the measures suggested by the political scientists of the totalitarian left.

    Not that it will matter to you but Denver just set the all time (well probably not all time since I nor anyone else know how much snow fell here during the many ices ages or mini ice ages for that matter) snowfall record for Feb. Maybe you can post another poll as fact to prove my point?
