The fact is that we have been in a warming state for thousands of years, perhaps 10's of thousands. That means, since Kansas isn't under Ice, that the glacier ice has been melting for that long as well. Since this is a well established, and well documented event, why is any seeming surprised? Why scare us, and our children, with "science" that says in 100 years, we will have different coasts, water levels will rise xx feet, and Florida will be gone. Simple, there's money in it. There's bad science on both sides. My position, being a neutral observer, is that if you really really want to do something, plant a tree. Don't preach to me, Mr. Gore, about reducing my carbon footprint, while your mansion's footprint is larger than 1/2 your state. Don't tell me that buying into somebody else's efforts makes my footprint smaller, especially when one of your very own companies has it's footprint on the market. "Make me richer to reduce Global Warming", even though nothing changes. Plant a few trees on your grounds there Al, it will do more than all your jetting around to shoot a movie did.
In short, is the globe warming, yes. It has been for 10's of thousands of years. Is man responsible for it, no. However, we could do more to make the world cleaner. As I said, plant a tree. Do I think we have no impact? No. We exist, and therefore we impact our world, I just don't think, given all the facts that can be observed by simply looking out my front door, that man is the whole reason the situation is so bad.
