Outside of the topic of abortions, global warming is a good subject to bring up when you want to get into a heated debate. Fists will soon be flying as people stake out their positions. Here is a great example of how hot things can get, no pun intended.

Global warming - at least the modern nightmare vision - is a myth.

I am sure of it and so are a growing number of scientists. But what is really worrying is that the world's politicians and policy makers are not. - Professor David Bellamy

Information Administration projects that both U.S. coal use and carbon dioxide emissions are currently slated to increase by 40 percent by 2030. - Gus Speth, Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies.

The problem we are faced with is that the meteorological establishment and the global warming lobby research bodies which receive large funding are now apparently so corrupted by the largesse they receive that the scientists in them have sold their integrity. - Piers Corbyn

The only people who would be hurt by abandoning the Kyoto Protocol would be several thousand people who make a living attending conferences on global warming - Professor Kirill Kondratyev, Russian Academy of Sciences

In fact, even the current administration now is releasing recent reports indicating that climate change is real, that global warming is occurring, that it is heavily influenced by man-made objects and that it is something we cannot ignore any longer. - Ron Kind

Global warming is not a conqueror to kneel before - but a challenge to rise to. A challenge we must rise to. - Joe Lieberman

While human-induced global warming is not going to turn present-day Earth into present-day Mars, global warming is dire enough that our most distinguished scientists recently concluded that as many as 1 million species on the planet could be extinct by 2050 if affairs do not change. - Jay Inslee

It used to be controversial whether smoking caused lung cancer, it used to be controversial whether HIV caused AIDS.

Now, there are a few mavericks who deny those things. In the case of climate change, I think the debate is going the same way in that there is a strong consensus that it is a serious matter. - Lord Martin Rees

In comparison to 10 years ago, now all countries recognize that climate change is an important issue, that we must continue Kyoto, that the time after 2012 must be in our sights and that we must do everything possible to improve energy efficiency and, at the same time, facilitate economic growth. - German chancellor Angela Merkel

The absolutely best case scenario - which in my opinion is unrealistic - with the minimum expected climate change... we end up with an estimate of 9% [of all species] facing extinction. - Chris Thomas, University of Leeds

those who are absolutely certain that the rise in temperatures is due solely to carbon dioxide have no scientific justification. It's pure guesswork. - Henrik Svensmark

When the penny drops to President Bush that global warming is really serious, they're going to be in trouble. - James Lovelock

so what can you do to benefit from this situation? Well, more and more people around the USA and abroad are jumping on board with solar panel. The Sun showers more energy on us daily, than we can use in an entire year. Solar panels are becoming more common in homes to either supply their own electricity needs or sell the electricity back to their own power station. That is correct, under certain circumstances the solar panels can pay for themselves in hard cash from the electric company. This is nice.
