SIOW you think there should be no studies of anything as there would never
be any real objective views. This means that anything you show is no more
reliable that anything I point to. Lets just have everyone pack up
everything and send them on their way like all studies of disease and
medicine. There are people that study many things and the study of polar
bears is just a small portion of what they do. If there is a decline in any
animal populations in particular it matters not. You seem to be limited in
your knowledge of scientific studies. There is no agenda to show anything
one way or the other.

Nothing of the sort. Damn you have a reading comprehension problem. Grow
a clue.

I see you don't want your religion questioned. This is pointless.

I have not. I d said I don't view politically motivated documentaries posing
as new stories. You are unable to tell the difference from nature shows that
have no political agenda. Your claims of funding cut off are unreal.

Once again, all "scientific' studies are not about politics. You are

I have no idea what you have presented over the years.

If you want freedom you will not find it in a democracy. You consent to
control when you live in this country. There have not been any changes in
the light bulb in many years. It is about time we find more efficient way to
supply light. We can't use leaded fuel any more and we have to pay more for
not adding lead. Do you object to this too?

Get used to it. Climate change is here to stay and all your complaining
will not stop any attempts to save energy. You hate the idea because you
think it is only someone is trying to fool everyone and thus no measures to
conserve should be taken.

Where does it say that I agree with Al Gore. You are the dumb ass here. I
first heard of GW before Al was anywhere to be found. It makes sence to me.
There was little politics involved then. Now it is all an uproar and people
like you make more out of it.

You have produced babbling of your own that show nothing.

Who do you want doing the studies? Where are the ones that truly have no
political involvement? Show me the scientist you think don't get funded by
anyone. You have made no points with your reply. Maybe you can clue me in
and provide something about your claims. Your cite is no different than any
other. A "newsbuster"? You grow a clue.

You are using philosophy/ideology to refute my argument and adding in
a little bit of name calling and attacking the messenger for good
measure.

You're a ****ing idiot.
