Rising Hegemon
“The Earth has had many-times-higher levels of CO2 in the past,” said Marc Morano, former spokesman for Republican Senator James Inhofe and executive editor of Climate Depot, a blog that posts articles skeptical of climate change. “Americans should welcome the 400 parts-per-million threshold. This means that plants are going to be happy, and this means that global-warming fearmongers are going to be proven wrong.”
Marc Morano, the 21st Centuries Lysenko, here to encourage as much pollution as a smokestack can bellow.
Meanwhile, in reality:
For years, scientists have worried about the impact of climate change in the invaluable Himalayan region. Recent research seems to confirm worries that a warming world is melting one of Earth's most iconic, not to mention tallest, summits: Mount Everest.Of course, the elimination of glaciers in the Himalayas is no big deal -- they are only the predominant source of fresh water for about one in every four people in the world.

unbelievable, the stupidity of the climate change deniers.
there is a narrow band of atmospheric conditions that man and most of our necessary ecosphere can survive in. the rate of climate change has been so rapid that none of the ecosystem has a chance to adapt, and we're about to gain the dubious distinction of having willfully caused our own extinction and the extinction of most of the life we share the planet with.
wonder how this pinhead will look to his grandkids in a few years...
they'll be one of the last few generations to live in a world thrown into ceasless war and famine by wasted resources like water and dirt.

FWIW, it's carbon DIoxide.
Morano is a strong advocate for the planet. He just doesn't see the need for us earthlings.
nevermmind this is what leads to the GREENHOUSE EFFECT. think terrarium.
