This is pretty much what I think. The earth does go through periods of heat, and periods of cold. Why, not too long ago (by earth's standards), we had an Ice Age. We sure aren't now, so doesn't it make sense that the globe is heating up? The whole thing is really blown out of proportion.

This argument is thrown around way too liberally. Just look at the chart I posted earlier that shows how dramatic the shift has been in just 150 years. That kind of change is very abnormal and most likely due to something else besides the amount of heat the earth receives from the sun on average.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
