I have been in the maybe it is happening camp for sometime. I remember a time when I was growing up, that the scientist during that time were talking about a New Ice Age coming. Later over time, this changed to Global Warming. Frankly, even though we have learned a lot about how our world works, I still do not believe we have the complete picture. I believe that we have much more to learn yet, before we can forecast something like Global anything. But, still given that, we should Always keep all reports and opinions open and we should consider them all equally. Don’t just dismiss them because they are not in the popular consensus. Looking back in our past, we are still doing today what our ancestors did, and we continue to repeat our same mistakes. How many times did we laugh at Galileo or Newton, and even Einstein as ancestors who simply could not fathom the genius of these individuals instead chose to not listen because they did not understand what they were being told. While this gives us a level of comfort, isn’t growing and making ourselves better all about going outside of our Comfort Zone? So, when I hear about Agencies that are hiding reports or not allowing studies to continue due to politically motivated reasons. It upsets me, and has me thinking that we will never learn from our past mistakes. Take a look at the link below, and tell me what you think! Please comment as you see fit.

Obama claimed that the average American would not bear the brunt of this historic tax-increase: he stated that instead ““It is paid for by the polluters who currently emit dangerous carbon emissions.”
Just compare this outrageous falsehood to Ronald Reagans’ timeless quote:
“The most dangerous myth is the demagoguery that business can be made to pay a larger share, thus relieving the individual. Politicians preaching this are either deliberately dishonest, or economically illiterate, and either one should scare us.
…Only people pay taxes, and people pay as consumers every tax that is assessed against a business.”
And after the way the rammed this through the House with little debate, without legislators even reading it… and while quarantining the GOP from any meaningful input whatsoever, any foolhardy individuals who still believe Obama’s threadbare “bipartisanship” spiel ought to have their head examined.
