Nancy Pelosi is a visionary, at least as far as global warming is concerned. Here’s what that opinion is based on:

Pelosi said she hoped Bush would be open to considering a “different way” in the future. The California Democrat pointed to her delegation’s weekend stop in Greenland, “where we saw firsthand evidence that climate change is a reality; there is just no denying it. It wasn’t caused by the people of Greenland; it was caused by the behavior of the rest of the world,” she said.

Ms. Pelosi is spinning President Bush’s position, which is what I’d expect from someone who’ll say anything to maintain and increase her political base. What she’s saying is that humans are the biggest contributor to climate change, an opinion that scientists are question more and more each day.

One of the things that’s been mentioned the past couple months is that the temperatures have increased on other planets a similar amount to Earth’s. Are we to conclude that human activity is causing the global warming on those planets, too? Would Ms. Pelosi have us believe that we’re to blame for everything?

Reputable scientists are questioning whether the climate change that Ms. Pelosi talks about is affected by human activity. Many are saying that the climate change is cyclical. Others are saying that it’s caused mostly by the sun’s activity.

Meanwhile, Ms. Pelosi hasn’t talked about Kyoto’s exceptions for India and China. She also hasn’t talked about the impact that Kyoto would have on the US economy. That’s intentional because she knows that following Kyoto’s protocols would destroy the US economy.

I’d further suggest that climate change experts like Michael Crichton have debunked most of the environmental extremists’ ‘evidence’ over the past decade. Serious people no longer are persuaded by the ‘Hockey Stick Graph’ because it doesn’t show the Greenland warm period around 1000 AD or the recent ‘mini ice age’ of the late 18th century.

As I see it, we have two options with regard to climate change. We either convince Ms. Pelosi to change course or we return Republicans to power so they change course on climate change policy. Personally, I prefer the latter option.

1. I wonder if Speaker Pelosi ever asked anyone why the Greenland settlement was mostly abandoned centuries ago?

2. As Rush would say….’chaos and tumult’ are what the Dems are about. No facts, just emotions. What a way to run things.

3. As spineless as the lizard Republicans have become, what makes anyone believe they, for the most part, won’t give up and give in to the moonbats on this issue, too? Look at their recent history: the “war” that is no longer a GWOT, taxation, property rights, porking, immigration. The list goes on and on.

   Show me a real Republican, one who is fiscally responsible, believes that the Constitution actually means what it says, believes there are fascists out there who mean harm to our country, and believes we have the right to deny access to our country and its benefits to those who don’t play by our rules, and I’ll show you one that’s got about .0001% chance of being one of our elected officials in D.C.

   Vipers.

   Am I bitter about it? Yes, but the alternative (donkeys being in charge) is worse.

   Vipers.
