well, that part of her statement isn't out of line with what Arnold said so I don't see how it's that laughable :-\

On August 31, 2006, the California leaders of both political
 parties agreed to terms in the California Global Warming Solutions Act.
 When this legislation goes into effect it will limit the state’s global warming emissions to 1990 levels by 2020, and institute a mandatory emissions reporting system to monitor compliance. The legislation will also allow for market mechanisms to provide incentives to businesses to reduce emissions while safeguarding local communities. [7] The bill was signed into law on September 27, 2006, by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who declared, "We simply must do everything we can in our power to slow down global warming before it is too late... The science is clear. The global warming debate is over."

Good quote - Arnie is dead wrong if he thinks the debate is over - it's far from it.  That being said, Arnold is the oracle, more so than Al Gore will ever be.

Can we all agree pollution is a problem?

Here's the deal:

I can't eat striped bass more than 1 a week because of mercury content.

Certain plants won't grow here because of pollution

There's almost always haze in the bay area.  only a few times a year we have clear visibility

Don't worry, ...with current trends, pretty soon the only thing visible in what used to be your area will be water.  :'(

One of the reasons I will never leave this rock.  Vog is the exception here (unless you live on the Kona side of the Big Island).  The air is pretty clean and you cannot see it (always a good thing).  We never have "smog alerts" either. 

Seems like L.A. has polluted the entire state of California.

You will when sea level rises. If you think the floating bodies of Katrina was horrific,
...wait til you see lower Manhatten, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Florida, Hawaii, ...or what'll be left of them.  :'(

There isn't a port anywhere in the World that has reported rising sea-levels.  Why is this?

Oh, okay, I state a fact and this is the response I get.  Thanks for the confirmation of your inadequacies on this topic.

inconvenient truth was the catalyst that began my skepticism about global warming being real

Oldschool, Gore isn't just in the US. He is crisscrossing the globe speaking to anyone who will listen.
I strongly urge you to see the documentary. It is very clearly laid out. Trust me. You want to see this.
Speaking is one thing, Jag, but action is another. Clearly other poorer countries who rely on a cheap way to make power, won't have the funds to change over to more "less emmissions" equipment and machinery.
All they want to do is survive. Especially the ones in the colder climates. Heat is the only way and if you don't have and "energy efficient" ELECTRICAL heater.....lol.......the n I guess burning wood and gas are the next best bets.
I've read many articles on the warming trend and the endless predictions of how the Earth's temp will be blah, blah in 2000 whatever, but throw in a couple of volcanic eruptions and those charts will change dramatically.
We're due for another "ice age" and before every one, there is a big warm up. Just to piss PETA off, I'll buy more seal skin fur coats to stay warm!
