I'm still unconvinced about global warming one way or the other.
But of one thing I'm certain, democrats in general and the public at large have learned absolutely nothing about oil and natural gas in those 40 years.
If you are "still unconvenced about global warming" you are dumber than the "public at large" who have learned to live with democrat energy policies that keep them colld in the winter and poor all year around.
Global Warming or air pollution, either way fossil fuels have contributed negatively to nature.
Despite the fact that Americans have drastically reduced their habit of smoking tobacco, respiratory diseases and respiratory disease related deaths just keep on climbing, mostly due to air pollution.
