@ QUOTE: "The scientists who are convinced that global warming is a
serious problem....need to distance themselves from the environmental
movement, who have turned conservatives off with their socialist,
pantheistic and oppressive government ways. If they will do that
perhaps some intelligent discussion can take place, which will lead
to real solutions. ~ Bill Hamilton Sat, 3 Feb 2007 17:05 (PST) Re:
