You should be ashamed of yourself. The United States already has a problem in keeping up with the rest of the world in science education and now you want to play a role in further destroying our nation as well as our planet.

You are a traitor to your own country. I did not spend 30 years in the military to protect the likes of you.

Heartland Institute's climate Denial Gate | Earth | EarthSky

I strongly believe that people who believe in human-caused global warming should look at perspectives from those who disagree with their views and vice versa. The Earth does have cycles and periods where the weather does change. It will get cold and hot in various places every year. But when might we be able to say that global warming is truly occurring, if indeed it is?

Hindsight will likely provide the only perspective that most people will agree is true. If we continue to see a warmer Earth and more extreme weather on a more frequent basis for the next 20 to 30 years, then we might all agree Earth is warming...Make sure the articles you read are peer reviewed by actual climate scientists who are trained in science and who spend years using the tools of physics and supercomputers to understand how the world works.
