		<description>The oil companies make approximately 8% profit and that is before the government takes out billions in taxes. This profit percentage is actually low compared to many large corporations. The oil companies are owned by the American people through their 401k&#039;s, pensions, stocks, etc.  The oil companies provide a great service to the world by finding, extracting, and refining oil into gasoline which drives our economy and the world&#039;s economy. 

The reason I bring up &quot;evil&quot; and not in a vitrolic voice, the problem with the written word is that you can&#039;t always grasp the tone.  Just because I use the word evil does not mean I&#039;m not serene.  Liberalism is evil because it limits freedom and therefore the full creative capability of the people.  The limiting of creative ability brings suffering, pain, and the continuance of ignorance.  The reason I say evil is for what is does to people.  For example, the liberal policies over the last 30 years to limit America from drilling for oil and fully utilizing all it&#039;s resources has slowed the growth of the world&#039;s economy causing billions to remain in poverty.

Obama&#039;s ignorant plea to turn our thermostats down, eat less, and drive smaller vehicles will have the opposite effect that he thinks.  If we slow our consumption down the world will suffer more not less.  Our economy is driving innovation, growth, and philantropy all around the world.

On your question of Science.  If you ask a free scientist.  One that is not bound by atheistic evolution.  Then you will find that the science does not add up for Global Warming.  It is arogant for man to think he can destroy or save this planet.

The reason I believe greed is at the heart of Global Warming is that when there was the push to move away from freon it was revealed that Al Gore and many liberals had investments in the government mandated alternative.  If you follow the money, Ethanol Subsidies, tax hikes, etc. you will find the real reason for Global Warming.

As serene as can be,

		<description>William,

I appreciate that you backed off the alarming rhetoric invoking &quot;evil&quot;. I don&#039;t see how that will accomplish anything, and it surely will not change my mind on anything. I don&#039;t accuse conservatives of being evil do I? And why is this issue so often wrapped in political polarization? Is it possible that this really is a scientific issue? Forget about Al Gore. He is not my &quot;High Priest&quot; nor of anyone else I know. 

If you must hold to the belief that climate change is a sham, then there&#039;s not much I can do to change that. 
Too often people come in here with rabid and vitriolic hate speech that serves nothing. 

Can you explain how &quot;greed is at the heart of global warming&quot; in the face of unprecedented profits going to oil companies? 
Finally, I leave you with this quote from Thomas Paine:
&quot;There is a general and striking difference between the genuine effects of truth itself, and the effects of falsehood believed to be truth. Truth is naturally benign; but falsehood believed to be truth is always furious. The former delights in serenity, is mild and persuasive, and seeks not the auxiliary aid of invention. The latter sticks at nothing.&quot;</description>

		<description>Global Warming is a sham and the real tragedy of it is that the real problems facing the world will take a back seat.  Greed is at the heart of Global Warming.  Unfortunately, it is taking some well caring people along for the ride.  You may fall into that category.
