I welcomed both Thomas Smith’s and Gordon Given’s comments on the so-called “climate change.” Too many folks like Jim Hyde go with their agendas or do not look beyond their nose. That is dangerous and leads to dangerous, poor and/or ignorant choices. The folks that are pushing climate warming (now climate change) are doing so for political, monetary and/or recognition reasons. When the books are cooked as is the case for much of the climate change rhetoric, the end results lead to ruination of economies and the lining of pockets that do not deserve to be lined.

Folks, spend more time thinking outside your box before you speak. Do not let your agendas get in the way of thinking for a change!
