Nalita Media: Poll

not one of them.

a combo of 1,2 7 3. YOU CAN'T HIT INDUSTRY TOO HARD IN THIS ECONOMY.

Well first I would have to believe in Global Warming which I am quite skeptical about and even then I don't think it is man man but more of the natural flow of cooling and warming.

I don't think either is better informed/equipped then the other on this subject.

Same as Selene. #2 for the first question, #2 for the second question

for the first question - 1,2,3 and gasoline at the median price of what the OEDC pays (about $8/gal). Obama/Biden of course.

I think the long term solution is referring more people to 21st Care...

I am too tired to do all this thinking!! Hi Nalita

Thank you for posting to

Sam Carana has a well-thought-out system of feebates, which seem superior even to carbon taxes, which would be my second choice.

Both McCain and Obama acknowedge climate change as a problem that has to be addressed. However, Obama's greater emphasis on renewables indicates to me that he will be better suited to address climate change.

A NEW CONGRESS should immediately pass a ten year investment/production tax credit for renewable energy. That would go a long way toward addressing the climate change problem.

# 2
i dont honestly know the 2nd one......

Once upon a time I thought I didn't need to know the difference between 1.1 and 1.2. I had this strange idea that we paid politicians to find out the best answers from the best scientists and implement the best strategies for the community.

I must check out Sam Carana's "feebates" then. Thank you.

I am a "cold" person, and I don't know why. Some doctor's call it the Wilson's Syndrome, which mainly affects those of Irish, Scottish, and Native American heritage. Well, I definitely have Irish and a LOT of Native American heritage on both maternal and paternal sides of my family. My temperature is rarely up to 98 degrees, and last week my blood pressure came in at 98/60, which isn't unusual for me, since I average 100/60, but that's extremely low for someone my age; still, my doctor has no complaints about it.

I said all of that to say this: I am cold much of the time. I'm surprised I didn't have the heat on this Summer, because I usually do. The last time I was in Alaska (2005), I was SHOCKED, just SHOCKED, that in Fairbanks -- yes, Fairbanks -- that I needed NOTHING on my arms. Usually, at that time of the year, I am triple-layered with clothing, wearing triple pairs of heavy socks, a heavy down jacket -- the works! But, this time I was wearing a tee shirt!

I kept saying to everyone: "There is something not right about this." The people/scientists up at the University, who study this knew: "Global warming" is what they said, and went on to speak of their facts and figures. Oh brother, these scientists who are closest to the North Pole, and study this stuff, but yet they "don't know". Okay, okay! But I cannot be convinced otherwise, when I'm able to run around in tee shirts, having been there before at the SAME TIME OF YEAR, and been so miserably cold that I thought I would die.

I shall definitely look at Carana's information. Thank you, Steve.

Sheila,

I am relieved that you have seeeeeeeeen the light, and now search out the information for yourself. I find it hard to trust anyone, when it comes to these things, because it seems as though everyone has an agenda; it's unfortunate, but true. My first question is always, "What's in this for you?" I've learned. Definitely never trust a politician until you are reasonable certain that he/she has your best interests at heart.

It is so hard to know what is fact or fiction these days. There are so many conflicting studies, reports and truths out there. I say we need to educate ourselves and decide which candidate comes closer to our own beliefs on subjects such as this one.

First off, get America off the oil teat! Yes, I used the word teat. I'm not saying drill for more, only that we have to develop wind, solar and water power as well. If there's a way that we can use biofuels and not deplete our food source, I am in favor of that. We also have to improve mass transit in our nation's cities. Obama is not the best choice for this, he is the ONLY choice.

I'm with Steve B. Press the candidates who are running for Congress and see where they stand on alternative renewable energy, reduced consumption, and carbon emissions.

Palin's ties to oil and gas scare me. McCain's poor judgment and willingness to change his stands scares me more.

Joe Biden on the environment. Watch Joe Biden answer questions in a town hall meeting. He talks about reducing consumption and addressing climate change -- as the most consequential issue facing our nation and the world. He addresses it as a national security issue, too. Did you know Biden sponsored the first climate change bill 20 years ago?

The video clip above is packed with specifics. Biden doesn't get a lot of press -- and it's a real shame because he speaks intelligently and from the heart.

Prima Donna. Thanks for posting that video of Biden. He makes the case that climate change is both an environmental issue and a national security issue. Too often, I hear so-called "believers" in global warming say that even if global warming isn't real, we should still get off oil due to national security issues. That is a rhetorical concession that is not only unnecessary and inaccurate, but dangerous. Biden correctly notes that the fact of climate change presents national security problems. He notes in detail why, so I second your recommendation that people should watch this clip, and I also think it's a disservice to the American public that we have to watch so much of "I don't believe humans are causing global warming" Sarah Palin - and so little of Joe Biden.

I've just published a new article on this issue, called Global warming calls for global commitment and local action. Cheers! Sam Carana

I'm going with number 4

Global waring is a hoax and it's followng a cult.

So then, your answer would be number 5, Jeff?

As far as the other, (calling those who believe it to be real members of a "cult"), congratulations, Jeff. You have just dissed some of the world's most distinguished and renowned scientists, as well as some of your own fellow Gatherers. You really didn't mean that, did you Jeff? That sounds really harsh -- COLD BLOODED, Jeff

Maybe you would like to re-think and re-word the comment???

Global warring is not a hoax. It's following is a cult.

I like Julia's comment for once. Global warming and global cooling aren't hoaxes in the real world. I was just refering to the world that the liberal cult lives in.

As far as offending fellow gatherers I seem to do that regardless so I see no reason to split hairs on this issue as it is one of the biggest voting issues for me. Nobody seems to care that those world renowned scientists and the kooks that believe them offend me.

Warring. Your word, not mine and all-important to an understanding of my post and my play with your typo. If there is money to be made or power to be extracted, something to be exploited, in refuting science or waging war, I expect neocons to go there.

I think that we make many decisions based on our pocketbook and so the carbon tax would bring some motivation for businesses to clean up or pay up.
McCain is of the old club that just winked at the soiling of our earth and never did anything substantive about it.
I vote for Obama.

Carbon tax and without a doubt Obama/Biden! Global warming is a hoax? Some people have very narrow tunnel vision, they only need to educate themselves.

I happily send you a big hug and a big 10! For supplying such need to know information, that is very vital to everyone!

Take care

2 for both, of course.

I'm glad to hear that there is such a thing as having a lower body syndrome. I've always been about 96 since I was a baby instead of 98 so if I go to the doctor sick, and it says 99, they don't think it's too big of a deal but it sure feels like it is. My blood pressure is pretty low, too. Pretty close to yours, but a little higher now that I am so stressed out all the time.

Sorry for the generic comment, but I have to catch up on my emails. Giving you a 10 with my comment.
