And maybe the Republicans are saving the dirt on Biden for later...all of it would be forgotten by November if it was uncovered now. And believe me, there are things to be uncovered about anybody.

That's just basic risk analysis. We could be throwing gobs of money at it to find a solution before we are even sure it is a problem. Everyone seems to skip the step of research to actually find proof of it's existence. If we didn't take these risks, that would stop us from doing everyday things like crossing the street or driving a car. I'm open to the existence of man made global warming, I would just rather put money into proving it first.I can say pretty easily the GOP stance on the war, abortion and the death penalty as well as McSame's pandering to the right are pretty good reason's to vote for Obama.

True, this is a very complex issue which is all the more reason a "hockey mom" is not likely to be qualified to make a judgement. In such cases how does one decide what to believe? I am a scientist myself although not in this field. I choose to go with the opinion of those representing these groups:<a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_opinion_on_climate_change#Joint_science_academies.27_statement_2008">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_opinion_on ...</a>In my past 30 years in science, I have found that the vast majority of scientists are only interested in the facts and these agencies represent the best knowledge we have available. Palin's views on global warming are similar to her view of evolution. Since it is called a "theory" lots of people try to shoot it down not realizing that the evidence for it is massively overwhelming to say the least. This is also accepted as fact by almost all trained scientists as well. What is somewhat humorous is that if Creation "Science" were actually taught in schools along with the theory of evolution, (by scientifically qualified people) it would become clear in short order which story has solid support and which one is a bunch of wishful thinking with very few facts to support it.

I like oil. My care uses it. My kids cheap plastic toys are made from it. My Computer is half made from it. My power cords are insulated by it. Its co-conspirator, natural gas, heats my water and provides some of my electricity. Its great stuff - wish we had more of it!

"there is no doubting that the more CO2, the hotter it gets"I'm sure you meant to say that the hotter it gets, the mor CO@ - right? :)There is no proven causality so you can't go that direction.

Ha, funny but many people would say the exact same thing about either BO or Biden.She's just as capable as most and definitely more capable than many. I want to see her in a basketball matchup with BO. Or, lets make it VP vs VP.
mcrunch2Sep 8, 2008
Its not a question about doing something. Its about WHAT we will do. Do we go with BO's ideas or McCains? Do we tax and not drill or drill and research?How we get there is what makes the difference.
