"...but that the rate of change of recent times isn't going at a natural speed."
Bullshit, there isn't enough recorded information in the world to prove that.
This annoying chatter because Bush changed his mind is nothing more than whining sour grapes. Get over it.

Because he broke his campaign promise. Maybe you should just admit that?

I say that those 'postulations' aren't not in the majority, as you claim. After talking with many of geologists and climatologists here at UB, They have told me that
1. Yes, global warming is happening 2. It is not happening as fast as most people think. 3. It is inconclusive that humankind is having an effect. 4. Those who believe we are vs. Those who believe they aren't are split down the middle.
I gotta love it when the liberals get their panties in a bunch when Bush rightly changes his mind, but when Clinton lies, steals, and does some very illegal stuff, they look the other way.

The only person getting their panties in a bunch is you Jeff.
Jay's just pointing out that Bush did break that promise. Ya'll are having a hard time accepting that.
As for the other thing you bring up:
Bill Clinton admits to smoking some weed, and he's a dangerous drug dealer to the Conservatives.
Bush doesn't admit - but certainly doesn't deny "youthful indiscretions", but, hey, it's a-okay, because he's not a liberal.
Clinton skips the Vietnam War and protests it, and he's villified by Conservatives.
Bush skips the Vietnam War by pulling on his family ties to get himself into the National Guard, but then doesn't even fulfill his obligation there.
Bush drunk and drove -- but that doesn't matter, because Bill Clinton got a blow job and lied about it!
At least Clinton got into school on his grades and not the "legacy" system. What, you thought Dubya got into Harvard because of his grades??
Please.

Breaking a promise that could only do harm can only be good.

You know, I may be Canadian and all, but how, exactly are mandatory emissions reductions at electrical power plants a bad thing? In straight-forward english, please. Remember, I'm foreign.

Magnus, the issue here isn't emissions as a whole, but CO2. Since many power companies emit CO2 as a necessary byproduct of producing power, it means that if there are 'mandatory' limitations of CO2, and therefore limitations on the energy produced. Also, instituting these limitations cost a lot of money, especially for CO2. Because there is no definite evidence that the amount of CO2 emitted by companies is affecting the environment in an adverse way, there should not be any need to limit its production.

Exactly why no one should believe "campaign promises" in the first place. Another good one is, "gays in the military" and "read my lips: no new taxes."

Are there any numbers on the amount of CO2 produced by industrial faculties as compared to the numbers of naturally occuring CO2? Going from what I've seen, I'd like to see how little a dent any regulations would make in overall C02 production.
JK, Omega: Sure, JeffKardde may have said "Omega is right". However, in the same sentence, he also observed that "UM is right". With that in mind, take heed in the relevency of your sig.
