its simple as that. Results prove people down wind from these levels have
lower quality of life and longevity and are systematically dying for Pres
and coal companies and car companies. Simple changes to protect people are
too hard to make while people are being poisoned to death. no different then
the guy from Britain who use to be KGB
What they call global warming , I call in addition to rising co2 levels , 
poisoning
 In addition to close to 400 murders in my city , we have some of the 
highest rates for asthma and cancers and heart disease in the nation. We are 
number 2 in asthma, 32000 kids take off from school in our area called 
playing hooky and when parents were told why its important for their kids to 
attend some said it was because of asthma and I can reinforce its almost 
imporssible to concentrate let alone breath or go to school. and our Supreme 
Court actually has to debate this.?  Trees are down where I walk I need meds 
only because of rising rates of pollution I monitor and our press calls 
beautiful days? For five days our pollution was out of the good zone into 
moderate the kind wher I automatically can't breahe in and they want me to 
work? ? . I defy anyone to tell me this is healthy for anyone. I need meds 
in direct correlation to pollution increases that they call moderate. I call 
it slow poisoning by government.
This is the protection we get from our govt? when they say beautiful ,  and 
when this beautiful is polluted with high
particulates ..  is air that has caused many many deaths sooner
compared to others who didn't get it and they call this beautiful? This is
the air we get more then most people in the US and we have no athletes
winning here, or wanting to play here (some wanted to leave when they
realized what they were breathin), we have huge rates of prescription drug
use and huge amounts spent for health care, where we have F rated air by
Lung Association., where we are one of the most violent places on earth.
Where we are number 2 for asthma, where our kids have air that is f rated?
. They all smile
saying
its warm and beautiful while athletes and politicians and newscasters have
more cancers and illnesss and no one cares. they ignore it while getting
paid by drug companies. The hidden
dangers besides crime is particulates and its lethal and killing people who
have to breathe it. When news whores tell you this is beautiful you realize
freedom means its ok to now kill people. Its funny what tv tells you what to
be concerned about like swimming in chorlinated water but not worried about
breathing polluted air where there are tens of studies to show the
correlations of rising asthma and what particulate pollution does to people
especially over time.. what if people knew you are being poisoned by gov
policies
that allow particulates to kill people sooner then those that don't get it.
Our supreme court is going to take up this issue to determine if the epa has
the authoritey to regulate this toxins.Or at least if they should mandated 
by Congress Our beloved President who is suppose
to protect us, promised he would regulate co2 but after election he changed 
his mind and now incredibly enough is siding with car companies who don't 
want any changes. This is the leader who is suppose to protect us? While 
millions can't breathe? This is murder and poisoning going on. I don't think 
our Supreme Court is going to protect siding with possibly saving our 
children. Our system is corrupted by millionaires and conservative people 
who are selling us down the sewer for profits.  Like I really have faith in 
our conservative Surpeme court to
protect us after they allowed this for so long? NOT.

The theory of global climate change, however, is pretty well backed up
by the data.

 Especially the data compiled since the 1980s by the World
Meteorological Organization, the US - based National Climatic Data
Center, the US National Academy of Sciences and the Goddard Space
Flight Center of NASA, among other institutions that follow the
climate.  This data shows greenhouse gas levels to be rising steadily,
and global average temperatures to be rising more or less in sync with
the greenhouse gas concentrations.  Pretty much as the theory of
"greenhouse warming" suggests, albeit with some complications.

Then there's other data that a variety of different scientific
researchers have unearthed over the past 10 years of so.  This data
provides circumstantial, but not direct, evidence that significant
climate change caused by greenhouse gases is now underway.  Some
examples:

*  The earlier onset of the spring flowering season and the later
occurrence of fall frosts in England, which have extended the average
English growing season by something like 21 days over the past few
decades.

* The rise in average temperatures in Alaska and Siberia of around 4-7
degrees that's been observed over the past several decades, and that is
already leading to the melting of the permafrost in some places.

*  The significant shrinkage of the Arctic ice sheet over the past few
decades, so that the extent of Arctic ice in the summers is something
like 21 percent less than it was 50 years ago.

*  The collapse of the Larsen Ice Sheet in Western Antarctica a few
years back, and new research that suggests that with the fringes of the
Antarctic ice sheet breaking up, the speed of the great Antarctic
glaciers from the interior of the continent towards the sea is
accelerating.

*  The retreat of mountain glaciers in many places around the world
over the past two or three decades, indicating that global warming is
already underway -- although the mere fact the mountain glaciers are
melting, of course, doesn't necessarily prove that CO2 and other
greenhouse gases (methane, nitrous oxide, etc.) are the culprits.

*  An apparent slowing of the thermohaline circulation system in the
North Atlantic over the past decade, which may or may not be evidence
that global warming is leading towards a "Day After Tomorrow" scenario.
That is, a situation resembling the one which apparently occurred back
in the "Younger Dryas Event" of around 11,500 years ago, when melting
glaciers released enough fresh water into the ocean off Greenland to
basically shut down the Gulf Stream, triggering sharply colder weather
conditions in Western Europe.

*  Other data that seems to confirm the theory of global climate change
includes the increased incidence of "extreme" weather events in the
United States, Australia and some other places -- "extreme" weather
events such as severe flooding, heavy winter snowstorms and intense
droughts and heat waves, for example

Such "extreme" weather events are pretty much predicted by the GW
simulation models, as NYT science reporter William Stevens points out
in his 1999 book "The Change in the Weather."  Accordingly, the fact
that we're now seeing these weather extremes -- viz., last summer's
California wildfires, the clusters of Midwestern tornadoes we've seen
in recent years -- is yet another indication that GW seems to be
underway.

All of these pieces of EMPIRICAL DATA, I think, are evidence that the
logical model that the scientists have constructed of global climate
change is basically accurate.
