1.  "Global warming" is a correct and accurate term, but it has fallen out of favor because people - either out of ignorance or obstinacy - incorrectly understood it to mean that it meant warming in every local microclimate.  "Climate change" is merely a sop to the people who don't or won't understand that "global" doesn't mean "here."  Either term is usable with the appropriate explanation. 

And yet, blaming mans effects on the planet ignores the history of our planet... Was the ice age caused by dino gas? Maybe the planet cycles... Temps get warmer, then they get cooler, mans attempts to eliminate Gods power to do as he wishes with the earth and blame themselves for the changes is laughable. And the "science" is shady at best.

2.  While predictions of specific climate changes are many and varied, there is one theme that is pretty constant:  increased precipitation in most places.  I am not saying that the rainy summer in NY is the result of global warming, but I will say that most models in place do in fact predict exactly that type of change for places like NY.

3.  FE:  Would you feel differently about the various federal efforts to limit emissions if the economic impacts were only minimally negative in the short term, and positive in the long-term?

Forcing changes that have ANY economic impact during (as Senior leader Obama stated) "the worst economic conditions since the great depression", is STUPID. Use the pseudo science scam when the economy is rolling, and people have actual jobs to pay for the major increases (the real reason they "need" the money is to pay for the huge deficit, and give them more money to waste). 

4.  And I am digging the tree-hugger economics in FE's sig.

I enjoy the stupidity of that line... I got it from a FSC vendor we use... We looked into becoming FSC certified, as many "green" customers want their vendors using it (until the economy fell off a cliff, and we have gotten ZERO requests for it since January...)

We would have to pay around $10,000 and an annual fee to have the certification. And ZERO changes to what we already do, (recycle our paper waste, ink waste, and use enviromentally friendly press wash, and chemistry...) Iike most "green" stuff, its all about someone making money. 

The sooner the youth realizes this the better off our country will be. They only care about making Green from the green movement...

We have no real effect on the environment. One volcano causes more "damage" to the environment than anything we all (us on this board) do in our lifetimes...
