Once Again I Ask, What Happened to All the G-g-global W-wuh-warm-mum-ming?!

Well, you've got the wrong idea about the so-called "separation of Church & State." That's no surprise, given that it's a common mistake a lot of people make, which is encouraged by the anti-Western Socialists, as they get money & power from its promulgation. The fact is, that's not Constitutional at all, nor did the Founders ever intend the 2 to be totally separate. In fact, what they aimed for was total freedom of religion, not restricted in any way by the State, yet fully able to inform & guide the state. Religion, with those who take it seriously (& most Americans do, to one degree or another) is a 24/7 thing. We don't segregate it from work, school, or politics, because we know it's too important to bow to those. If it's warmer for now in Greece, it certainly isn't so here (or in some other places). These are merely natural cycles. It's happened countless times, so don't be afraid. It will be cooler for you again, just as the blizzards here will eventually go away. We still have 4 well-defined seasons, as do other places, now, & we, too, have had times (decades ago) when the year seemed to only have two--yet the rest of the world didn't. You can't judge the entire planet on just your country. Then, too, since it has now been proven that there are "scientists" who are prepared to lie, hide, destroy & falsify data, & even bully scientists whose studies contradict their false data--even to threatening them & their families' lives--there just is no reason to get "all wee-wee'd up," as Obama put it (), over the matter of weather.

Undoubtedly, some do. Germany certainly did while it was locked behind the wall, & they didn't clean it up, as we do. You might not approve of it, hun, but Christians (among others) are religious in all points of life. We don't lock it up in a building that we open up once or twice a week. "The Church" has always meant the people. God is in our lives at all times, all places, & all our thoughts & deeds. We couldn't segregate Him even if we wanted to--which we don't.

I wasn't speaking of just the US Mags, I don't approve of religion being brought into other subjects apart from religion. And we're not having a warm spell here we're having winter when it really shouldn't be. It's not just Greece which is seeing climate changes much more severe but it is definitely happening. I'm not on either side of which set of scientists is right or wrong, but I do think some countries waste far too much energy.

Well said artistry. And if we look beyond what is happening at home I think that the water shortage across the globe will be a huge problem in the not too distant future. The creationist highlighted it months ago with his very worrying discussion about having to sell blood in India in exchange for a bottle of water in the areas where the shortages had become so severe that rioting ensued. There will be movement away from areas like that as people have a right to water, even if it is other peoples water.

Actually, it seems to many of us--myself included--that Al Gore does NOT, in fact, take his own teachings seriously, since he is a huge energy user! If he really believed that 3 years from now we're all going to be fried, he'd be doing everything in his power to cut back severely on his use of energy--but he's not. Furthermore, those "deadlines" keep moving further & further into the future...conveniently... The "10 years" actually started some time back, & Gore thinks only 3 or so are left. Yet the sea level is still the same. As a matter of fact, we did start cleaning things up decades ago. Look at the difference between our country's clean air & water, compared to East Germany's acid rained forests, blackened & shriveled. We've been using & creating new & improved technology to clean & keep clean our environment. Remove that technology (which such disastrous things as the infamous "Kyoto Treaty would do), & we'd be in the same shape the Soviets left E. Germany. The ice caps, contrary to popular myth, according to satellite photos & meteorologists, are not melting, but in fact growing! And polar bears, by the way, are getting out of control, & may soon be hunted to thin them out! Water levels come & go, but there is a cycle. It may desert one region, but it never leaves the earth. The aquifers across America are always being drained; this isn't new. I recall reading about this ongoing dilemma as a teen (I'll be 62 in a week or so). The water will only crop up elsewhere. And there must be a particular amount of oxygen in water to make it stay water, or it would dissipate into its separate gasses! So I'm sure the fish there are dying, but it can't be for lack of oxygen--not in a constantly-refreshed ocean! Someone is pushing a bill of goods on you! Yes, we are all on this planet. So are our interlocked economies, & I don't want to see them destroyed for a hoax. Maggiepie "Our Constitution was made only for a moral & religious people.

Oh, not to worry; it's all going to return. It always does! Maggiepie "Our Constitution was made only for a moral & religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." --John Adams

Oh, I'm certain the high priests & priestesses of the Church of Global Warming & Climate Change--those "scientists----have plenty of clues. They actually erased thousands of emails which proved that they knew full well there was GW/CC in the Medieval days! They knew that if folks got wind of that news, there'd be no way they'd swallow the expensive, power-grabbing attempts to make people buy into it being caused by us! No, it's evident they lied, & knew full well they were hiding facts. Maggiepie "Say 'Merry Christmas!'"

Here in Texas, there are two sayings. The first is: "If you don't like the weather, wait five minutes." And the other is: "If you don't like the weather, walk down the block!" Both of which underline a basic fact of life: weather changes. Why else would they need to report on it? Maggiepie "Our Constitution was made only for a moral & religious people.

Amen to that! Maggiepie "Say 'Merry Christmas!'"

What a delicious joke! Yes, it's all over TV what it looks like up North. My favorite picture was the one I mentioned, of the sidewalk cafe tables looking like white mushrooms, with so much snow piled on their flat tops! Or maybe it was the film clip of the dad burying first one 5 or 6 year old son, then, as that kid burst from the snow, laughing, he would bury the other (slightly younger) son. Then back to the first to re-bury him...it looked like a great game they were having! Maybe a few Northerners are standing in line to get the answer the Eskimos asked for?

Don't they, though? They remind me of the 2-year old mom catches with a fist full of cookies in the cookie jar, looking at her with a big-eyed expression of innocence, saying, "No, Mommy, I wasn't trying to steal any cookies!" They think if they just keep denying there's science to disprove their phony data long enough, loud enough, & looking innocent enough, that we'll just believe them! As if!
