Don't get me wrong, I know the stuff coming out of the tail pipe isn't exactly healthy, but spare me the guilt trip about how I'm killing the planet, already. There's plenty of strong evidence to the contrary that the earth isn't getting warmer anyway, and what little data suggest that it is warming is specious at best.
Theories are fine, but I don't like seeing a government site spewing half truths and conjecture about how much the earth is dying and how I'm to blame. If Greenpeace (the same people warning us about global COOLING back in the 1970s) wants to use their donor's money to tell me this, fine. However, a taxpayer funded site really isn't the place for this type of lobbying posing as fact.

I thought I was the only one that remembers the 70's scientific consensus warning about the coming ICE AGE because of industrial pollution! It has been mighty cold recently.
