you all can call me “dumb,” a “turd,” and a “chicken” as much as you like. at the end of the day, or, even, at the end of my life, Ill be able to look back and say I did everything I could to make this earth god gave us a better, cleaner place. literally. all you ‘global warming is a liberal scam’ people will so clearly be pushed into the reject pile of history (along with others who have a penchant for refusing to recognize scientific fact, like creationists, holocaust deniers, anti-vaccine nut jobs, etc.) that I kind of almost enjoy being attacked by the likes of you because it makes me feel even more sure that I am doing and believing the right things here.

For the record, I am a Republican. but not an ‘anti-science, obama is a dictator, its patriotic to use as much arab fuel as possible’ kind of republican.

charles is one of the most enlightened minds Ive ever come across so far in my relatively short 2+ decades of life. that the comment threads here can be full of so many ignoramuses really does shock me. but it seems especially bad on this thread. at least with other issues, like gay marriage, the bigoted neanderthal comments make up not even a third of total posts. which is good. but if we can mostly agree on that, i dont see why we cant agree on aiming for a healthier planet., which, even the most religious among us should recognize, was a task reserved for us by God.
