60 minutes, inconvenient truth etc. are not mainstream, but very respected sources for information. I would say your description suits you perfectly and misses Daniel completely, but that is just my opinion.
You absolutely, positively MUST be kidding, right? Right?....
60 minutes being a very respectable source of information? That's why they had to fire their long time anchor for making up stories and reporting them as fact to the american people....hmmm
Daniel said something in his blog about people having to say what they say to protect their salaries....which is exactly what could be said for the people screaming that the sky is falling due to "global warming"
The fact is the Sun has no thermostat. 100 or 200 years of the average temperatures being a degree or two higher or lower is a nano second in the grand scheme of the sun and earths life time. It is proven fact that the earth has cooled (heard of the ice age) and warmed at different times throughout history. The sun and earth are essentially living beings that have slight variences in temperature, weather etc... over time....it's called nature because it's natural.
While I agree and believe that the worlds (NOT just the US's) factories, cars and other ommisions are an issue and the less they pollute the better it's akin to a pimple on your *** as far as the earth is concerned. To think that we as humans are so mighty and powerful as to be able to destroy the earth in 50 years is extremely arrogant in my opinion.
Daniel, if you read this, I very much enjoy and appreciate FCP, you abilities as a poker player and your willingness to "put yourself out there" by expressing your beliefs and opinions in your blog and you should be commended for doing so.
That said, just because you have a public forum to express your opinions don't make them accurate.
One of the biggest things that makes our country so great is the ability of anyone and everyone to express thier opinions and I would never disparage anyone for doing so. Whether I share those opinions or not, I respect your courage for stating them so publicly so don't misinterpret my disagreement with your opinions as as anything other than that.
I do wish you would spend some time researching both sides of an issue thoroughly rather than watching a movie that was made for the sole purpose of forwarding an agenda and taking the bait hook, line and sinker, but if you don't, well, that too is your right.
