Re: Detailed evidence fails to support man-made climate change

[John Jacobus <crispy_bird@YAHOO.COM>]

Sorry if I seem over reactive to this issue, but when

you have a politician from a party affiliated with an

administration that opposed environmental laws, that

campaigned against those environmental laws already in

place, I tend to think he might have an ulterior

motive rather then the well-being of the country and

its citizens.



After all is the good senator saying that we need more

good studies or that we should scrap all the laws we

now have in place?
