No, it was not sarcasm. I truly do not believe that just because I don't agree with someone's point of view that they should not be allowed to voice it. That is what the First Amendment is all about.

I do not believe in global warming, but I do know the climates change as a natural course of the planet. However, there is a history of industrial pollution, contamination by landfills, and many other forms of toxicity poisoning the planet. Whether or not it is affecting the climate is irrelevant. There is nothing wrong with these kids advocating using cleaner fuels and cleaning up our act, if for no other reason than to just make the planet a better place to live in. That attitude transcends all religious, political, racial and socio-economic boundaries.<br /><br />I may not believe in your global warming cause, kids. But, I do believe you have the right to voice your opinion and there is nothing wrong with you wanting to make the planet a better place. And you know what?

Add Dustin's call for us "Jackyl's" to be silent!! Very "free press" D'! <br /><br />First point to John Christenson, the "penguin". Because of "Global warming" the SOUTH pole (where penguins live) the ice sheets and glacier's are in a "thickening" period. Yes the South pole is not warming! The Polar bear (who live in the Northern Hemi), population is at it's highest in recorded history. (Would that be from warming or cooling??). Is it easier for Polar Bears to get food if there is more or less ice? Polar Bears do not eat "ice" as their primary diet. They eat fish, and seals and such..so if there is less ice..they can reach more food, reproduce more and thus thrive. <br /><br />Please tell me what is the perfect temperature for the planet? and if change is from the Sun..how many light bulbs must I buy to change the "climate" on the Sun?? Any of you brilliant indoctrinites wanna answer that question?? Where will we hold the "protest" for Star Climate Change?? To save the Sun?<br /><br />The guy who pointed out the rivers that feed from Glaciers? I loved that!! If the Glaciers are frozen the water won't flow!! Dude!!<br /><br />So here's the thing, of course the Global climate is changing and has been doing so for 6000 years or 6 Billion years, depending on your belief system. The "FACT'S" are that there is NO evidence that mankind is causing it, as I sit here and type under a 1 mile thick glacier looking out a one of the largest fresh water lakes in the world. The "Facts" are that global Warming/ or Changing goes on as the planet accommodates the ever changing population's, of plant, animal and geological effects, (read volcanic, tectonic activity). <br /> For you RUSD brainwashed protesters I am certain that no amount of "Fact's" will shake your opinion, until you grow up just a wee bit more. You see it's fun to get all caught up in the "Fashion" of the day, and today it's "fashionable" to be all "Green" and pretentious. Remember last Fall when it was "cool" to support Obama, and now we are seeing the danger of electing an incompetent who has never made a decision, and specializes in voting "Present". <br />It's frightening isn't it! <br /><br />So John, when you show up and put you views in public and then insist everyone should just shut up and not offer their opinions because it hurts your pre-programmed ears. Remember your school is not giving you both sides. Al Gore hasn't been correct about one prediction, and Ocean levels have changed for millions of years. <br /><br />To Rees who want's to discredit anyone who doesn't support his cause because they aren't Climatoligists, etc. Here's a newsflash..
