Ken Notes: Arghhhh! This one drives me crazy, as a christian let me simplify the debate. This is not about Global Warming, or Donald Trump or the liberal tree huggers. This is simple -- too much Carbon is bad for our children and grand children (not to mention us). It can make you ill, pollute our water and air, and makes us dependent on foreign interests who have more of it than we do. We now have technologies that can reduce carbon and produce power from more sustainable sources that we have plenty of, like sun and air. These technologies can also help feed the hungry, heal the ailing, and provide a better life for all humanity. I do not care about global warming, because there are even better reasons to shift our focus to more efficient sustainable production of: energy, light, transportation, technology, and agriculture. To suggest we NOT pursue these in a cost effective and sustainable manor, that is better for our grandchildren, is the most unchristian thing I have ever heard.

"But if anyone has the world`s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God`s love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth." -- 1 John 3:17-18
