They routinely redraw his district to make sure he can still be re-elected.

Global warming has only political consensus, not scientific consensus. Many good sources for the opposition voice are surfacing including this blog, heartland.org, halt-global-warming.blogspot.com. A recent study by the Pew Research Center <a href="http://(http://people-press.org/report/485/economy-top-policy-priority)" rel="nofollow">(http://people-press.org/report/485/economy-top-policy-priority)</a> shows public concerns about global warming have plummeted, while concerns about the economy, jobs and energy rank high. Global warming ranked last out of 20 issues of concern to the public, with only 30% of Americans calling it a top priority. Let's share these resources freely to help our fellow scientists and skeptics bring the voice of scientific analysis and reason to this discussion.

A dream concocted to bring about a ban of all carbon based fuels as soon as possible and damn the consequences to a power deprived world. There exists more than enough basic science to blow AGW out of the water. That it has survived this long is the product of enough money, I understand at least at least $600 million in research grants, to buy the services of hungry climate scientists to develop a model that will reliably predict the weather. With the complexity and number of variables controlling our weather, this becomes very unlikely. Over 32,000 US scientists, 10,000 with PhD's, are on record via a petition to our Senate that says CO2 is not a problem and I am one of them.

In the 'war of ideas' there should be many opinions & we should be able to cherry pick from those we feel will best serve us, the people. By creating the situation that limits response & by attacking response rather than listening, the "representative " (sic) does disservice to his constituents & the public at large. Many Global Warming/Climate Change "theories" are coming under scrutiny by extremely qualified scientists & their questions are not only relevant, they show that much of the GW/CC agenda is more political & mercenary, than interest in the well being of this planet or its inhabitants. The agenda is falling apart as more & more info exposes the fallacies we have been told are indisputable. Not only are many of them disputable, they are patently false & may have been deliberately contrived to produce specific results to accommodate a partisan political agenda! Shame on them & the "representative (sic)."

He had to run to the west side of the Cascade curtain with his tail between his legs after voting for the Clinton era "assault weapons" ban which passed by a whopping two votes. His vote was cast in favor of that ban in spite of a call ration to his office of 3 to 1 against, by his own admission. Perhaps we all would've voted differently had we known his wife was on the "Cease Fire WA" grop, but that was kept neatly under wraps during his campaign. The point is that Inslee's arrogance and unwillingness to listen to the people in his own district, let alone facts, is visible, palpable, and vile.

And he's going to do that with Dr. John Holdren. For any of you smart enough to now buy into this "global warming" b.s., and in particular those of you who despise the fearmongering and hyperbole spewed by the new generation of "environmentalists", do yourself a favor and do a web search on Holdren and Paul Ehrlich, Holdren predictions, Holdren de-industrialization, Holdren population control. Dangerous watermelon (green on the outside, red on the inside). Help Carbonicus shine a light on these people as they are a danger to freedom, quality of life, and quality of the very environment and downtrodden they purport to represent.

Inslee's behavior was embarrassing and insulting. It appears that the democrats have bought the theory of anthropogenic global warming and its catastrophic impacts hook line and sinker.

He has been a crackpot who does not listen to anyone in the District and in fact is only being re-elected because of governement employee unions and unions in general. They routinely redraw his district to make sure he can still be re-elected. One thing for sure: he believes in COMMUNISM and I understand he has a photo of Lenin in his home office.

Come on you slobbering jerks, walk to work, take public transportation. Set the example and then your rhetoric may be more believable.
