Who is Lush Rimbaugh ????? Never heard off him. What a character ......

I have to admit that for someone I thought was so intelligent, you really are stupid when it comes to all the autorcities happening within our world. Between Greed, Greed, GREED I can't say it any other way. They have even had special shows on this particular matter and it truly is serious.

Rush, why don't you crawl back under the rock from which you came?

Tell me, the gas bag lies every time he opens his mouth. What would make any reader/listener think he is telling the truth at this point?

Rush Limbaugh is a real wacko, why would anyone listen to him is beyond human understanding.

Thank you for bringing this specific broadcast to light. We need to stand up against folks who tell lies in order to enhance their ratings - ALL AT THE EXPENSE OF THE INNOCENT. Sadly, this man is popular with a good-sized segment of the American public. How sad!

It is simple. Rush is now and always has been an idiot. The really scary thing is that a lot of people DO listen to him and believe him! When it comes to global warming and other enviromental concerns it is easier for those people to believe what he says and NOT do anything than to change it than to believe the truth of the situation. A sad commentary on their intelligence and care for the future, but they don't care beyond their own lives. Every creature on earth will suffer and that includes them!

what worries me the most is that there are people out there that actually listen to him - unfortunately this country is infested with ignorance - how could this fool have any ratings... chances are he doesn't believe any of the *#*%@ he says - but he is motivated by the fact that there are people who actually follow him..

Once again Mr. Linbaugh has shown his true intelligence (lack there of). When did he get his doctorate degree in environmental science? Or wildlife biology? This man is SO against anything that Mr. Gore does that he will say anything to counter attack him. If Mr. Gore said that grass was green, Linbaugh would paint his lawn pink and call him a liar. Now he is also calling some of the best scientific minds in the WORLD liars?? This is the same man that said that parents of ADHD children were lazy parents feeding their children pills (+10 yrs ago) but we all know who the pill eater really is!!! I swore this man would never again get one second of my time, but these comments are just over the top!!!

He is just an endangered species himself. He's fighting for the little bit of turf (read followers) he has left...the remaining few in denial about anything that might make them rethink their gas guzzling, selfish, polluting lives.

Rush has publicly stated that his business has evolved solely to enhance his own financial situation. He has very little to complain about at the present time, because his beloved party is the one causing the majority of our current problems. We all know that his reliance on facts is, in itself, fictitious. Unfortunately for the under informed or just plan "ditto-heads" reason and research have no value.

I have to take advantage of this opportunity to share one of my favorite Rush jokes: Q. What's the difference between Rush Limbaugh and the Hindenburg? A. One's a Nazi windbag.....and the other one's a dirigible.

What continues to bother me about the Bush Administration and its supporters, as well as Rush, is that these minds exist. Remind me of those Germans who sucked up Hitler's rants and marched off to destroy others--without anything too cerebral to stop them. A blight on the German nation forever after. We seem poised to self-destruct with these present tendencies. If Rush was all by himself, he woulnd't have an audience; instead he is a quite famous man leading fools around who remain vastly uneducated about anything. Dangerous

With over 6 billion people populating this planet, it seems like such a common sense no-brainer, that human activity, pollution, and mismanagement of Earth's resources, has contributed to Global Warming. The only people who find this hard to believe, are ignorant blow-hards like Rush Limbaugh, and the conservative cronies, who listen to him. These fools will probably always exist, but thankfully, the scientific evidence is turning them into the minority.

It is truly sad, pathetic, and frightening, that self-absorbed ranters like Rush Limbaugh still have an audience. People who listen to that kind of rhetoric, when so much of the scientific truth is being revealed on a daily basis, must be in serious denial, without any ability to ponder the idea that their die-hard position, could possibly be WRONG. For Limbaugh to use innocent animals as a punch line to facilitate his ratings, is the act of a man without a soul.

Rush is a has-been. He's put his foot in his mouth so many times now (let's not forget his mockery of Michael J. Fox) that he no longer has credibility with a lot of people. Too bad...he could do some good with that mouth of his. Instead he's just showing his ignorance and is digging himself deeper.

Who cares what Rush Limbaugh has to say. He is a big fat blowhard. Anyone who listens to anything he says is a fool.

Unfortunately, (or for him, fortunately) with the self medication R.Limbach indulges himself in, reality is not a luxury he affords himself from his personal life to the safety of future generations. Why any one follows the predictions of someone who speaks from both side of his sedated mouth, & doesn't even realize it, is beyond me. I have nothing but pity for the poor wealthy soul. -"he knows not of what he speaks"
I've taken pictures of the Great Smokey Montains from the same view -20 years apart showing clearly the increase in air pollution in that area alone.
Rush, get off the meds, and try, just try, to smell the roses!!!!!!

Poor Rush -- his ratings are in decline, his wit is on the wane, he's drug addled, fat, and stupidly clinging to his rightwing wacko-weird agitprop.
Even the mainstream is talking about the "weird weather" that is everywhere these days. February tornadoes in Alabama? Daffodils and cherry trees blooming in January in Virginia? No snow in Michigan? Bees gone? The horticulture "hearty zones" map moved north by hundreds of miles this year? Polar Bears drowning from exhaustion as they swim and swim and swim and swim for miles and miles looking for ice to climb out upon.
I hope Clear Channel continues to keep Rush on the air, bc he's a harmless poobah who's so outrageously ridiculous he's entertaining!
Go on Rush! Keep those bon mots coming -- we love 'em!

Great cartoon, Kerry!

Rush DOES make sense in many ways,but anything connected with the environment is a whole different matter! It is sad that Republicans and many conservatives have collectively abandoned all this to the Democrats.Teddy Roosevelt and now the Republicans for Environmental Protection see3m to have it all together! Patience Folks!

This guy is just getting more and more desperate as the days go by. Let's do something about the bears habitat and let this guy "self absorb" and rant himself into oblivion.

While it is true that some of Mr. Limbaugh's discussions are credible, he is off the beaten track on global warming issues and Polar Bears. I don't think that Mr. Limbaugh has taken the time to personally measure the effects on global warming and Polar bears, since to my knowledge, he has not made an effort to measure the disappearance of ice or study the survival rate of Polar Bear cubs. Therefore, it is easy for Mr. Limbaugh to speak from a distance and deny reality. Accordingly, Mr. Limbaugh should consider shutting his mouth because, at the end of the day, if Global Warming is not addressed, Mr. Limbaugh has nowhere to hide just like the Polar Bears and everyone else!

I finally have something in common with Rush Limbo, but it is not an opinion, it is oxycontin. I use it to ease the pain I suffer from cancer. Rush must be back on the stuff too, to numb his mind, conscience and tongue so that he can bear himself while telling the lies that spew from his mouth on a daily basis.

Sent Mr russ to CUBA!!

Rush is a clever idiot who appeals to morons. Unfortunately, the numbers of people who agree with him bodes ill for the Democratic experiment. We appear to be headed for disaster - the destruction of the world by the popular vote of the morons.

It's too bad that anyone of sane mind and sound body would waste even a minute of their precious life listing to Flush Rush!! He's taking up too much of the earth oxygen!

I want to say this first that everyone has a right to their own opinions, but when you are trying to convince people that your oppositions opinion is wrong then you will need some proof. Mr. Champion is a trained meteorologist and with the opinion of the IPCC, who are the experts on climate change,just recently coming out backing him and this story, who does Mr. Limbaugh, a man whose background and education is not on climate change, thinks he is saying they are absolutely wrong without some proof.

Rush Limbaugh is only one of the kind people who seem to be so frightened of any kind of change in the way they view life, that they view life that rather than accept facts and try to do something, they hide in a world of their own. I suspect that they have a bad case of what I call the desire for the Midas Touch. Remember that old fairy tale about Kind Midas who loved gold so much that when a magical whatever said "Your wish is granted. Everything you touch will turn to gold". He immediately went about joyfully touching everything, and everything turned to solid gold. Then he touched his daughter's beloved roses, thinking she would love them as gold the way he did. But she didn't. She came to him crying, wanting the living roses back with all their colors and fragrence. He went to comfort her with a hug, and his daughter became a cold, hard, gold statue. It was only then, when he found something more precious than gold, that he realized his mistake. Poor Rush Limbaugh probably doesn't have anything that he considers more precious, and you have to pity these guys.

Rush is an idiot. And I can't figure out why anyone would listen to him rant. He is plain and simple an IDIOT, and no one should give him air time.

Ok, I'll just comment on the polar bear story as I have read it. I have over twenty years of zoo mgt. experience that includes managing polar bears in nationally accreditted zoos. I've read a lot of research too. It appears from what I read that the picture of bears on the ice floe was nothing more than that. It appears the media made it into something worse (as they usually do). I believe in global warming and want to work to stop it but I don't believe all the hype from the media on the polar bears.

Everyone has opinions BUT to declare scientific evidence as "BS" in his words shows his lack of intelligence.

If I remember correctly from elementary school, Columbus thought the world was flat and he would sail into India, lo and behold it was PROVEN that the world was round.

Will he dispute that fact also?

Rush Limbaugh is a self-serving liar. He has ranted against drug and alcohol users but is one himelf. How can anyone with a rational mind believe anything he says. He has not a single idea about the real world. He lives in Rush Limbaugh land and if the problem doesn't exist there it doesn't exist anywhere. Someone needs to pull his sorry behind off the air.

I'm afraid that by not being absolutely clear, in our message to the world regarding the threat to Polar Bears, we give the Rush Limbaughs, and other assorted meatballs the opportunity to pull the wool over the eyes of a less discerning and credulous public. I believe that we need to be more specific with the details of any of the drastic results that Climate Change is going to effect.
For example, it is not enough to simply state that a reduction in the extent and duration of Arctic Sea Ice (and the eventuality that it may permanently disappear altogether) is a threat to the survival of the Polar Bear population without explaining why.
The fact is that 99% of the Polar Bear diet consists of Seals that they catch and kill on the sea ice. The Seals require the sea ice to breed and calve on and the Bears require it to successfully hunt on. The protein in the seal-carcass is necessary for both adult and immature bears, but particularly necessary for the immatures in order for them to grow muscle and bone as they develop into adulthood.
Of primary importance however is the seal-blubber, for both immatures and adults alike rely on this to build up their fat reserves, which must sustain them over the summer, during which period they are on land and unable to feed on their prey species.
Global Warming is already shortening the duration of the sea ice. It is melting earlier in the spring and freezing later in the fall, resulting in below normal spring weight bears at the beginning of their summer fast, and even further below normal fall weight bears by the time of freeze up in the following fall. As a result the pregnant females have less body fat at den-up time and when the cubs are born have less body fat for conversion to milk. Muscle mass is then consumed, making the milk less rich and the mother that much lighter, and weaker, by the time she is ready to feed again.
The situation becomes a negative compound feedback loop as every year the sea ice duration shortens a little bit more thus exacerbating the effect on the Bears. These physical stresses will ultimately prevent the bear population from successfully regenerating. Those same stresses will weaken the health of the remaining population, sending it into premature decline, and before long the Polar Bear will be nothing more than a memory.

Post script: It is not just the Polar Bears that are in jeopardy. As indicated the Seals use the sea ice for breeding and calving and while Seal populations, in warmer climes, do breed and calve on land, no one knows what Arctic Seals will do without sea ice to breed and calve on.

Afterthought: - We could always try feeding Mr. Limbaugh to the Bears, but I don't think that the quality of the blubber would be as good as that from the seals, and it would likely contain too high a concentration of Vicodin anyway.

Linda: Unless you know where the picture was taken you cannot comment on it with any degree of expertise. You may be correct and you may not be. They are obviously on the remnants of a small berg but how far from shore and/or other ice. I have seen one "trapped" at sea, on small single berg out of sight of land, on the Labrador coast almost as far down as Newfoundland.

K.

No doubt Limbaugh hasn't seen "A Convenient Truth", the Academy award winning documentary by Al Gore. He would probably rather chew his own arm off, before engaging in any kind of activity that might refute his position. This movie steps beyond politics and gives a factual portrayal of Global Warming, substantiated by numerous scientific studies from around the world. One part explains clearly how and why polar bears are in jeopardy, and it is due to the ramifications of temperature increase in ocean waters, due to Global Warming. The past few years, research teams have discovered polar bears that have drowned, trying to find contiguous ice surfaces, to hunt for seals; their main food source.
STEVEN,I would recommend that you see this documentary ASAP. As someone who claims to have over 20 years in zoo management involving polar bears, and has done research, how could you claim that it is all based on media "hype"?

I have occasionally listened to some of these shows and i have often questioned their expertise, they are there to just stir the pot and get attenetion based on controversy that they create, not on fact.its all about $$$
People in the general public are relying on these opinion based shows for their news and information and take everything they say as fact, when it is just their opinion. If we open our eyes and look around us it doesn;t take a rocket scientist to know that things are a miss. Look @ all the cars driven today, all that exhaust has to go somewhere. also consider who sponosors these talk shows? I think we all know its all about the $$$ , like our DNR or us fish and game wanting to remove certain animals from the endangered or protected list. This is all driven by $$$ not what is right or wrong, moral or immoral. Human and animals are all living beings (only exception is we can control how we destroy the world, or aid it). It burns me up that the very groups we put in charge of protecting wild life is the very group that stands to loose if it does so. What i am referring to is all the $$$ spent on hunting and fishing its in the billions, and can literally effect the economy's of many communities. For example here where i live the pheasant which has been struggiling for years is finally coming back ,now that it is they want to open a braoder hunting season and make larger limits (in the name of controling the population ,which took over 10 years to build up) . There is many parts to this equation as one being limiting the very predator that aids in balancing the population that being the fox and coyote. They are heavily hunted and not for food , but for the sport of it. I have and will say this again i have never seen a coyote or fox kill and eat a cow, yet that is the guise that is used to hunt them all for $$$. The state gains by selling licenses to hunt them ,and buisness's gain by having a place to sell the license and the guns,bullets, boots ,clothing etc for which to stay comfortable while hunting them. kaching ka ching let them ring. There needs to be some truth behind the reason for hunting, and its not about food. people in this country need to take responsibility and voice up against this senseless way we use wildlife for economic gain at teh expense of their lives. once something is dead its dead. The same is now being done to wolves, another very misunderstood animal, again it is being carried out in the guise of protecting farm livestock, this is all bunk, if we didn;t virtually eliminate all other wild food sources then wolves,and other predators would have an abundant source of wild food. But the same people that complain about livestock deaths are also heavily involved in hunting the food sources and now will get to hunt another season killing the predator as well, all regulated by our us fish and game and DNR , which makes money on all of this. If money wasn;t involved then i think less would be hunted. I have met many members of these groups (us FG,dnr) and they are not researchers, they are not wildlife enthusiasts , they are not scientist ,half of them never leave the office except to patrol for hunting and fishing violations , and are not wildlife enthusists but lawmen. They do a fine job keeping the woods safe and catching poachers etc , but their needs to be a balance as to seeing the broad picture and keeping wildlife safe , and limit the kill limits that hunting provides. Many of the officers i talk to feel their hands are tied as they are regulated by our government which is about finding ways to generate income from natural resources, not protecting them . Its all by the book a book created to make money...We need to voice up take a stand and make these federal and state organizions take resposibility for the true protection of wild life ,limit the kill, leave the real hunting to nature. Another thing is look back at teh people that created many of our parks and the precusors to our present day DNR and fish and game departmenst and they were created by politicians that were noted for their big game hunting (teddy roosevelt to name one) they were not trying to protect wildlife for wildlife but for people to shoot ,and kill them ,it was to preserve the buisness of hunting and killing,not protection for preserving life. Think about it. If you want to hunt why not hunt with a camera this is as challenging if not more so as you need to stalk ,track and find the object and then aim and shoot and try to capture a stunning wall hanging picture that will share the beauty of that moment with everyone for ever and both you and the animal get to wlak away to live another day .Yes the answer is yes , you definatly get a rush out of it like when hunting its the same only you walk away with a trophy that can live another day. I used to hunt ,until i realized how deceived i was and began to hunt with a camera and have never looked back. Wild and free

Mr. Limbaugh thinks he is smarter than scientists who have a Phd and study global warming and ecosystems for a living. If he knew anything at all, he would know that every living thing on earth and the earth itself is part of one ecosystem. All are interconnected. What effects one part of the ecosystem effects all parts of the ecosystem. It might not be in the immediate future , but will at some point in the future. I suggest Mr. Limbaugh understand what he is talking about before he opens his mouth and lets people know without a doubt he is uninformed of his subject matter.

The joke that Rush Limbaugh made about scientists feeding themselves to the Polar Bears was just that, a joke. The political cartoon which you have linked on the NWF site, showing Rush Limbaugh holding on to sea ice in a melting Arctic, is not particularly inventive nor was it really funny or telling as political cartoons are supposed to be. It was pretty boring really. At least Rush's joke, in its absurdity, was funny, as it was meant to be. Has anyone disputed his critique of how the photo of bears on the ice "sculpture" was used incorrectly and disingenuously as evidence of man-made global warming? Below are some of the statements quoted by NWF and my responses:

--According to the National Snow and Ice Data Center: "If current rates of decline in sea ice continue, the summertime Arctic could be completely ice-free well before the end of this century."

>>How do we know that the summertime Arctic was not completely ice-free at other times in Earth's history long before humans began burning fossil fuels in such large quantities as now, and long before humans were able to keep accurate data about temperature and sea ice? In any case, statements such as "If currents rates of decline in sea ice continue..." and "...could be completely free of sea ice..." do not add up to certifiable facts that are definitely going to happen. Somehow all of these "ifs" and "coulds" give license to the Left to ridicule commentators on the Right for being skeptical?

--"A recent study by the U.S. Geological Survey's Alaska Science Center discovered a "very dramatic" change in polar bear cub survival and estimated that only about 43 percent of the polar bear cubs in Alaska's Beaufort Sea are surviving their first year as a result of shrinking ice habitat."

>>Are we expecting 100% of Polar Bear cubs to survive in a harsh wild habitat? Is 43% survival a reason for concern? I can't imagine wild Polar Bear cubs normally survive much more than that anyway. How did the USGS study prove that the survival rate of Polar Bear cubs was going down due to global warming, and man-made global warming at that? Did they consider other factors, such as the ability of the habitat to support existing numbers of Polar Bears? It is possible that moderating temperatures have led to an increase in Polar Bear numbers in recent times, and that thus the increase in cub mortality is only a natural re-setting of population numbers?

--"And just last month, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the leading voice among climate scientists worldwide, reported that it is now "very likely" (a 90 percent likelihood) that global warming is being caused by manmade burning of fossil fuels."

>>The last I checked, 90% does not equal 100%. 90% = 100%? What kind of funny math is this? To teach that man-made global warming is fact, when it is still a theory at best, is irresponsible and disingenuous. The IPCC's statement that man-made global warming is "very likely" should not give license for it to be taught as certifiable fact! Riduculing Rush Limbaugh because he is pointing out such things is just cheap-shot politics, the easy way out. There is plenty of dissent within the scientific community about whether global warming is man-made. There is not consensus among all credible scientists. Even the pro-man-made global warming scientists are only saying "very likely" in their report, yet somehow the media and the Left is latching on to this as fact. What about the natural cycles in Earth's temperature fluctuations, which we don't fully understand? The Earth was relatively cool for a very long period called the Mini Ice Age which only ended around 1900 or 1910. Wouldn't it make sense that the Earth would warm up a bit after a minor ice age? Is 1/2 of a degree all that much to warm up after a 600-year cool period in Earth's climatic history?
Calling Rush Limbaugh names and even calling him a bag of s_ _ t, as one blogger did on this site, because you want to teach as fact what is likely only a specious theory, will not cut it in most reasonable courts of public opinion, or in the grinder of History that tests our theories.

The joke that Rush Limbaugh made about scientists feeding themselves to the Polar Bears was just that, a joke. Limbaugh looks like bear food, but then again I would not want any of these magnificent animals to get ill from eating such TRASH!!

To Jerry, you are obviously a Rush Limbaugh desciple, and the reason you are such a minority on this blog, is that you simply don't know what you are talking about. You are still clinging to the "natural cycle" thery. OMG, talk about fact VS. Thery! Scientist DO understand the natural cycle and they KNOW the polar ice caps and specific areas of the arctic have never been ice free. With today's technology, core samples taken from deep within glaciers and ice fields can reveal the period of time and the amount of carbon dioxide molecules contained in the sample. AND, there is NO uncertainty among credible scientists that Global Warming exists, and that is is caused by pollution that has thickened our thin layer of atmosphere over decades of time. They may disagree on other related issues, for example; what to do about it, and how long it will take to rectify the situation, etc. But,I would challenge you to list the name and reference material of a single credible scientist, who says Global Warming doesn't exist and the activities of 6.4 billion human beings are the cause. Even President Bush has conceded that he needs to do more about enviromental issues and is touring Latin America this month, with the goal of reaching an agreement with Brazil to import ethanol.
As for your argument of 100% VS. 90%? Oh, please! I suppose you and Rush and his followers would be the ones to support that 10% chance, that all the scientists of the world are just punking us. Actually, it is the "grinder of history" that has enabled scientists to come to the conclusions they have, with hard data to support it. The folks on the "left" are latching onto the Global Warming evidence as fact, because the scientific evidence shows it to be so. No matter what spin the folks on the "right", try to put on the subject, by accusing the media and liberals of making it all up, you don't stand a chance against a mountain of evidence. It is reminiscent of the tabacco companies effort to down play the effect of necotine on a person's health. Jerry, do yourself a favor, and visit www.globalwarming101.com, click on Education, and learn something useful, before you set yourself up as the voice or reason, in the "court of public opinion."

Also in response to Jerry: Anyone with a basic understanding of science knows that very seldom can you state anything as 100% positive. "Very likely" is strong language in the scientific community. As for those saying global warming is not a concern, well scientists can be shortsighted and stubborn just like the rest of us, and the only dissent is coming from abstracts and opinionated articles. So, 90%? I'll take that bet!
Further, it is fact that CO2 levels are the highest in 650,000 years. That's not just a natural cycle.
Regarding the polar bear photo, it's perfectly appropriate to use a visual aide to relate the topic to the reader. I have seen photos of actual drowned polar bears and reports of this happening, previously an extremely rare occurrence, have increased significantly in just the last few years.
The heat is on!

Jerry, dude, have you been living in a cave? The points you are making, might have had some relevancy back in 2001, when the IPCC's report claimed that the human factor was only 66% probable, but the most recent report now says its a 90% certainty. The news is every where, from "An Inconvenient Truth", to the editorial page in the spring 2007 issue of Aquascape Magazine.
For centuries, the human population remained fairly stable, due to mortality rates and short life spans, etc. However, the invention of vaccines, and improved medicines, health care, helmets, seat belts, the list goes on and on; has resulted in much longer life spans for people. The Earth's civilization, has shot up to 6.4 billion souls. If we stay on the same trajectory, it will climb to over 9 billion in a few short decades. The Earth's renewable resources, can't keep up. That is why carbon dioxide from pollution thickens the atmopshere, trapping heat inside, raising global temperaturs, which result in melting ice. That allows more of the sun's rays to be obsorbed into the water, because fewer rays are being reflected off the ice, which exacerbates the problem. It's not so much that we are seeing more hurricanes, cyclones, and typhoons, it's just that they grow more destructive, as they are fed by all the variables of contact with warmer ocean waters. When Hurrican Katrina first hit the coast of Florida, it was only a catagory 1 hurricane. By the time it worked its way up to New Orleans, it had exploded into a catagory 5 hurricane. Anyone, who can look at the increasing onslought of droughts, floods, tornados, record breaking temperatures up to 125 degrees, and say that it is a natural cycle, is truly in deep denial. That is just plain sad.

I figured Rush would be keeping up on current events in Congress...

I guess he missed the Alaskan Representative testify just a few weeks ago that one of his towns is melting away. The permafrost under the city is melting away, and the land under homes, roads, businesses is all washing away into the ocean. Now, the town is relocating at the cost of MILLIONS (American tax dollars, I assume). Go tell those poor people that global warming isn't real!

I wonder how many more stories like this are out there NOW and as of yet untold. And why isn't this story being covered more in the media??? If even the skeptics are going to have to help pay for this, I sure wish they'd realize faster that it's smarter to treat the disease (global warming) instead of just the symptoms (melting towns, displaced people, disappearing bears, etc etc).

Incredibly sad that we even have a need for such debates...

I think Rush is a total idiot. He thinks it's so cool not to believe in global warming, well he's not cool at all. He like a nother stupid reublican. And the stupid President and his idotic administration is believing him, he is out of his mind. Rush, get your head out of the clouds!!! Global warming is so real!! Even AlGore talked about and made a movie out of it. Why don't you watch it? And Learn something. I have no pity for you, you jerk! If you hate Earth so much, why don't you just go out to the sun and let the sun burn you alive!!You Jerk!!!! I wish I could beat you up!!You idoit! To Hell with you!!!

It is time to wake up Mr Limbaugh and do something about global warming and environmental abuse. Are you waiting to be responsible for another "big bang"? that would totally eliminate all living thing from this earth?

Rush and most of the Bush administration are FULL OF ____!!!! What a bunch of idiots and they're causing irreparable damage by hiding (or trying to) the TRUTH! They must have their heads up each other's ______!

I've been listening to Rush lately not necessarily on purpose but he comes on a local talk radio station that I ran across. I don't know how but our train of thought is totally opposite. I think their opinions of Democrats is absolutely hilarious. It seems unreal to me. I've continued to listen as an effort to experience an alternate perspective. No one tells you the full truth so if you listen to all sides you may be able to get a better understanding. I'm 28 and I've never had a real interest in politics but I have now learned that politicians are more entertaining than sitcom actors. Do you all realize that you have to pay to e-mail Rush at his web site. That kind of tells the whole story in itself.

One question I really had for him was regarding the plans to bring our troops home. The feel that he give me listening to his show is Democrats are against the military, "troops don't get down". But are Republicans saying that the troops would prefer to be at war than at home? Is it not supporting the troops to compile a plan to bring them home to their families? That's where I find the extreme Republican anti Democrat view point as hilarious. It is so twisted how no one can really express neutral ground it all has to be so extreme. I understand finishing what you start (a quality that we should all be teaching our children) but what is finished? Are your goals truly achievable? Sometimes plans should be reviewed and rearranged if necessary. Okay there I go. What is an American citizen to do? When it all seems like a gang war? Us against them.

Global temp change is not in question. The claim that "man" is responsible is.

You have to be sick.
The world has survived millions of years sometimes hot and sometimes cold. Your comments and the rest of global warming idiots are the biggest streach of human egotism ever conceived.

The ocean puts more hydrocarbons in the air in one day than all of mankind does in a year.

Wake up smell the roses enjoy life

I am a scientist. I wish you'd stop misleading people. The IPCC is composed of many types of people (mostly bureocrats and politicos). True scientists are disputing what the politicos did to their report (the politicos changed the report). For instance : There is nothing in the report to support or validate the climate models that predict a substantial future warming (5). On the contrary, the estimates of IPCC 1995 are substantially less than those of 1992 or 1990. No mention is made in the SPM of the existence of weather satellite data that show absolutely no warming over the last 18 years. Instead, reliance is placed on an ambiguous phrase: "The balance of evidence suggests a discernible human influence on global climate."
