Fight Global Warming?

The US Government wants you to fight global warming and toxic carbon dioxide at any cost. We must pay up, cap and trade carbon credits, tax or shut off our energy. Maybe next year will be the year without any summer at all! Earth’s temperature is going down, not up. There are forces at work far more powerful than human generated carbon dioxide, and all carbon dioxide.
