Well, this is great.
The network newscasts all over the place.
You know, the ash from the volcano could cause terrible respiratory problems.
I want to know what act of man created this ash.
How many SUVs driving around caused this?
How many smokestacks?
How much industrial production caused all this volcanic ash?
More problems with some...
Well, this is great, Ted.
The network newscasts all over the place.
You know, the ash from the volcano could cause terrible respiratory problems.
I want to know what act of man created this ash.
How many SUVs driving around caused this?
How many smokestacks?
How much industrial production caused all this volcanic ash?
More problems with something natural, quote-unquote, act of God, a volcano eruption in Iceland, than all of the automobiles made and driven in their history.
There's not even a close competition.
There was a global warming story last week, and I didn't get to it because there were so many other things that took precedence.
But the headline of the story was, scientists looking for lost heat.
Meaning, where's the global warming?
It has to be somewhere.
It was getting warmer out there.
They were freaking out.
Scientists looking for lost heat.
There wasn't any.
There hasn't been any warming.
And now with this, with this ash plume, it's going to get even chillier.
This is what happens with volcano interruptions or eruptions.
Very, very simple.
Welcome back, folks.
Great to have you here on the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
I, of course, M.L. Rushbo, serving humanity from the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
So I'm told now that President Clinton's backpedaling a little bit.
That he's saying that the Oklahoma City bombing should have taught us that the words we use matter.
Okay, fair enough.
Let me ask President Clinton, what words caused Timothy McVay to act?
Name one.
I want to know what words and who spoke them.
What are the words that Timothy McVeigh heard?
What are the words he admitted that he heard that prompted him to act?
All I've ever heard is that Timothy McVeigh was outraged over the government invasion led by Janet Reno of the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas.
And the Mura building was blown up on that exact date two years later.
And I don't know that.
Somebody show me the words, Mr. President, that McVeigh heard and caused him to act.
What's happening here?
Rightly or wrongly, I just need to get this out there.
Now, of course, it was wrong.
McVay was not inspired by anybody's words.
He was inspired by Mr. Clinton's deeds.
And this is what they're trying to wash over.
This is what they are trying to erase from the historical record.
You have President Clinton here simply lying about a terrible tragedy to try to chill free speech and libeling me and the Tea Party at the same time.
It does not get more despicable than this, than what President Clinton's trying to do and how he is being aided and abetted by government-run media.
And I want to know where Obama's speech to conservatives is.
Obama's planning a massive outreach.
New York Times has the story.
Obama massive outreach to the Muslim world.
Massive outreach to the Muslim community, which is fine.
Well, I want to know where is this outreach and the speech to conservatives.
When you stop and think of Barack Obama or Jeremiah Wright or any of the people who inspired Obama, their whole lives have been anti-government when you stop and think about it.
Obama certainly has.
Obama's whole life is anti-government.
Acorn, protest government, agitate until you run it.
Obama's whole life is anti-government until he gets to run it.
The country and the government were awful.
Slave voting, racist, profiling, genocidal, segregationist maniacs.
But no longer, because he's running it now.
Every time he says, whoa, I'm president in this racist country, even though I have this funny name, he's ripping America.
He runs around the world apologizing for the country.
So even this talk about the Tea Party is being anti-American, it's just the exact opposite.
The Tea Parties are not anti-government.
They are pro-founding.
They want to restore the country to its founding principles.
They want to go back and have capitalism be the order of the day, economic opportunity and prosperity all over the place.
It's exact opposite.
The reality is that it's the Obama crowd that doesn't like government, that doesn't like the country.
It's the Obama crowd and all of their related groups that have been protesting for as long as I've been alive that don't like the country.
The Tea Party people love this country.
And that's what they're trying to hold on to, the country that they love.
This is all about love versus hate.
And there's no love on the left.
And they're trying to make it look like they have all of this love and all of this compassion.
Whereas we are possessed with all this hate and anger.
We are angry, and our anger is valid.
A country is being overthrown.
Country is being ripped apart, transformed right before our very eyes, and in a fraudulent manner.
None of this, we were told during the presidential campaign, none of it.
Had we been told this would be the course of action, I doubt that Obama would have gotten 30 or 40% of the vote.
So who is it that loves and who is it that's angry and who is it that really hates?
Who is it that's been protesting government all their lives?
It's the left, is it not, folks?
What is it that's remarkable about the Tea Party is that it's the first time an uprising of common, ordinary, average, everyday citizens since the Civil War has risen up like this.
It's, you know, we have things to do.
We have jobs to go to, families to raise and all that.
We don't have Rhetta mobs.
It's always the left that has been agitating, protesting, organizing.
They're the ones that have been shouting down with the government, down with Nixon, down with Bush, down with this.
Not us.
So as is always the case, everything is the exact opposite from what it seems to be and how it's being reported.
What's motivating the Tea Party people is the greatness of love, not hate.
Can't be said of the people on the left, unless you want to say the love they have for themselves, that they're out to destroy.
They're out to remake.
They're out to reshape.
They are out to reform.
They are out to take over.
They are out to tear down.
They're the ones motivated by an anger and a rage that we all were in awe of the last seven or eight years.
We've never seen that kind of consistent, focused rage, where even the efforts of the U.S. military were impugned.
Victory was impugned.
Defeat was sought.
We hadn't seen that before.
Not in such a concerted effort with a political party totally behind the protesters.
Oh, we'd seen people wanting us to lose wars before, Vietnam.
We had never seen a whole political party get behind it as well.
So don't, any of you Tea Party people, don't even accept this premise that you're the hater, that you are angry, that you are on the verge of violence.
You're not.
You're acting because you love the country.
You love your community.
You love your neighborhood.
And you're not going to quietly sit by and watch it all get transformed, particularly when you didn't vote for it.
When the people doing this are a minority and they're doing it against the will of the people.
We didn't vote on any of this happening.
We didn't vote on the government-owning banks, the government-owning automobile companies.
We didn't vote on disarming.
We didn't vote on half of the things that Obama's doing, if not more.
The true anti-government rhetoric in this country can be found in Jeremiah Wright's church, where Obama admits he sat for 20 years.
The true anti-American rhetoric can be found with Father Fleger or Minister Farrakhan.
People that are on Obama's side.
People that are on the side of the regime.
It's all very simple.
They simply, in the press and on the left, are trying to transfer the love to themselves, the hate to you, when it's the exact opposite.
So the leader of the regime will travel to New York to stump for another area of the private sector the regime can take over.
And that is the financial industry.
President Obama heading to New York City later this week to push for a financial overhaul package in a venue rich with presidential history.
Yes, my friends, Honest Ob will go speak at the Cooper Union.
Honest Ob.
That's a playoff, Honest Abe, who the Honest Ob has compared himself to.
Speech Thursday, Cooper Union in Manhattan will mark a year since the regime first outlined its ideas for reform and nearly two years since the financial market meltdown.
Well, it's a crisis, of course, an undermanufactured crisis.
Now, we went back.
Washington Examiner piece November 21st, 2008.
Here's the headline of this piece.
Goldman Sachs will be sitting pretty with Rah Emmanuel in the Obama White House.
Goldman Sachs always has clout in Washington as evidenced by the firm's alumni serving as Treasury Secretaries under both Presidents Bush and Clinton.
Today, in these tumultuous times of bailouts and meltdowns, when the investment banking leviathan needs Washington more than ever before, Goldman can leverage its most valuable asset yet, incoming White House Chief of Staff Ram Emmanuel.
Goldman Sachs is the giant of Wall Street.
More than any other investment bank, Goldman is surviving the current financial storm.
Traditionally, a Democrat booster and one of Obama's top sources of funds in his past election, Goldman has always had some particularly strong allies within government.
Emmanuel is one such ally.
An interesting early chapter in the Goldman-Emmanuel relationship took place in the setting of Bill Clinton's campaign in 92.
Clinton hired Emmanuel as his chief fundraiser.
At the same time, however, Emmanuel was on the payroll of Goldman Sachs, receiving $3,000 a month to introduce us to people, in the words of one Goldman partner at the time.
So this is right after this story appeared right after Emmanuel was picked to be Obama's chief of staff, November 2008.
And my guess is that Goldman will miraculously escape any real punishment for this fraud that they've been accused of by the FEC.
This is a strange coincidence indeed.
Nine months, this investigation has been going on.
Last week, the day before a big push begins, or the day after, actually, the big push begins for financial regulatory reform overhaul.
Bamo.
The SEC just does exactly what Obama and Barney Frank and they all wanted.
They charge Goldman Sachs with fraud, and it allows Obama and everybody say, see, we need to reform Wall Street.
They are evil up there.
They're looking at all of the billions they're making in defrauding innocent people.
And right on queue, honest Olb to Cooper Union on Thursday in New York, the New York Post on Saturday, Wall Street suspects Goldman charges not coincidental to financial reform effort.
And there's an interesting little tie here.
John Paulson is the hedge fund guy who was allowed to pick the mortgage-backed securities that Goldman was going to package.
And then this guy was allowed to go short on them.
He bet that they were going to fail.
He bet that whoever bought these as investment vehicles would lose money.
And Goldman let him pick part of the portfolio.
And he won or scored a billion dollars when he was right.
That's what all this is about.
This guy, John Paulson, not related to Henry.
This guy has not been charged at all.
He's the hedge fund guy.
Some vice president somewhere in Europe has been charged.
But guess who's in bed with Chuck Paulson or John Paulson?
That'd be Chuck Schumer.
Hedge fund billionaire John Paulson goes to Goldman Sachs, asks the investment bank to create mortgage-backed bonds that he could sell short.
Goldman Sachs agrees, taking a $15 million payment for Paulson for doing so.
But Goldman goes a step further by allowing Paulson to pick the mortgages that would be bundled into bonds, the mortgages that Paulson thought would be most likely to fail.
Goldman then sold those tainted AAA rated bonds to unwitting Goldman clients, collecting another hefty fee in the process.
Like Paulson, it too placed secret bets that the bonds it had sold would fail.
Paulson and Goldman are alleged to have created the investment vehicles to fail.
They went short.
Goldman got to sell them to investors who were going long.
Some might say that this is a little conflicting.
John Paulson, the hedge fund short artist in the middle of the SEC suit against Goldman Sachs, recently helped raise money for Senator Chuck U. Schumer in New York, referring to the senator in a fundraising letter as, quote, one of the few members of Congress that has consistently supported the hedge fund industry.
You know who else was very close to Madoff was Chuck U. Schumer.
So Senator Schumer is theoretically very close here, John Paulson and Bernie Madoff.
But, my friends, a tough sell because remember, the Democrats are for the little guy.
The Democrats are out there looking out for the little guy.
Oh, yeah.
Senator Chuck Schumer, Monday, led a long list of office holders and groups.
This is an old report.
Expected to give up more than $430,000 in political contributions from Bernie Madoff and his family.
My money, I'm returning, Schuber said.
This $100,000 Madoff donated to Democrat Senatorial Campaign Committee run by Schumer.
That should be returned, but that's their decision, Schumer said.
I'm giving back what he donated to me personally.
Spokesman for the committee, now headed by Senator Robert Menendez, said at the time, we are reviewing it.
But remember, the Democrats are for the little guy, folks.
And from the Los Angeles Times, Goldman Sachs case could help Obama shift voter anger.
The fraud charges may strengthen the president's campaign against Republican resistance to tighten regulations on Wall Street when everybody involved in this, either privately or politically, is Democrats.
Somehow the Republicans are getting tarred and feathered here.
I don't know that the Republicans run Goldman Sachs.
I don't know that the Republicans run this hedge fund.
But somehow this is a Republican problem now.
Folks, we are a month away from cap and gown season when seniors develop senioritis.
And colleges start with the graduation process.
Every time I'm done, I was in high school.
I got senioritis my freshman year.
Could not wait to get out of there.
I dreamed about getting out of there.
In fact, my whole, in my, was thinking the other day, anytime I take something on, I can't wait till it's over.
And I think it started.
Sometimes, even when I go out to play golf, I really look forward to when it's over.
Not that I don't have fun doing it, but I just can't wait till it's over because that's when the next thing starts.
And I think it started when I was in high school because I did not want to be there and I could not wait to get out.
So I had senioritis probably in junior high, but I'll peg it to my freshman year in high school.
Well, at Hillsdale College, there's no such thing as senioritis.
These are serious students studying serious topics, and while they have more fun in their classes than students elsewhere, there's too much to do before they graduate to get swept up with the frivolity of it all.
Hillsdale College.
This is a college committed to raising the next generation of principled leaders, those that attend the school, and there's a select group of about 1,300 of them this year, and those who want to restore America and live coast to coast.
For those not living in Hillsdale, Michigan, and attending classes, there's Imprimus, the monthly digest published by the school every month and delivered to now over 1.7 million readers.
Imprimus is all about conservative principles.
If you want to understand issues like the proper role of judges or why smaller government is best, subscribing to Imprimus will validate what you already know and probably teach you some things as well.
And Imprimus is free.
Free from Hillsdale College.
And there are no tricks.
Nothing lurking behind the curtain here.
Imprimus is genuinely free.
It's part of Hillsdale's never-ending education process for the whole country.
Use the website that's been set up just for you, rush4hillsdale.com, and sign up.
And there's a phone number you can call if you wish.
It's 1-866-Hillsdale, Imprimus.
Andy McCarthy just delivered a speech for Hillsdale that will be soon in Imprimus.
And he's got a book coming out next month, too, on the Islamic Jihad, the whole terrorism problem that we have.
And I, of course, a powerful, influential member of the media, have seen advanced galleys.
And you cannot put this down.
It'll be out next month.
I'll tell you about it.
Roy Spencer's got a book coming out this week, our official climatologist, that is one of the best books in lay language on global warming and all of this that you can ever run into.
I'll get to the titles of all these things tomorrow.
Don't want to overburden you with it, but in primus, got to have that too, and it's free.

The New York Times not happy today, ladies and gentlemen, because Defense Secretary Robert Gates has warned in a secret three-page memorandum to top White House officials that the United States doesn't have an effective long-range policy for dealing with Iran's steady progress toward nuclear capability.
This, according to government officials familiar with the document, one senior official who, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity, described the document as a wake-up call.
White House officials dispute that view, insisting that for 15 months they had been conducting detailed planning for many possible outcomes regarding Iran's nuclear program, most of them probably how to stop Israel from stopping Iran, would be my guess.
So Gates, the Secretary of Defense, puts this memo out there, or it's been discovered.
The New York Times is outraged, but not at the details.
They're outraged that Gates would ever say this, which leads to a potential big embarrassment for the regime.
So here you have Carter destabilized Iran.
Clinton ignored al-Qaeda in the 90s.
Obama ignores Iran today.
And this is going to invite aggression.
After a future disaster occurs, as a result of Obama's failure to develop a coherent and effective foreign policy with Iran, to say nothing of the entire region, there won't be any acceptance of responsibility.
They'll find a scapegoat.
It'll be Bush.
Bush failed.
We didn't know how badly.
But you look at Carter, Clinton, and Obama.
They are the unfunny version of the three stooges, particularly on Middle Eastern policy.
Familiar pattern.
Carter had no answer for the Iran hostage crisis.
His weakness and his failures triggered the first fundamentalist Islamic revolution in modern times.
Carter had no clear policy on Iran.
It proved to be an historic blunder.
Bill Clinton had not a clear policy on the growing terrorism threat from al-Qaeda.
That proved to be an historic blunder.
And let's not forget how Clinton propped up Yasser Arafat.
The first inductee, if they ever have a terrorist Hall of Fame, Arafat's going in first.
And that's the guy who had more White House visits during Clinton's year than even Monica Lewinsky.
I'm not making it up.
And now we watch Obama follow in the footsteps of these fools.
So you have to ask, what is it with Carter and Clinton and Obama in the Middle East?
Are they really this stupid?
It's like our caller said.
It can't be both.
There's got to be one of two things.
Either they're this stupid and naive and incompetent, or there's something else going on here.
Take your pick.
Back to the phones to Atlanta.
Ray, I'm glad you held on.
Welcome to the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Rush, how are you doing?
Very well, sir.
Thank you.
Listen, I'm calling about this whole comment about you and those of us that agree with your approach to the politics and the way the world is as being seditious.
Seems to me that there was another great American that was thought of as seditious, and that was Martin Luther King.
And, you know, to me, it seems like these kinds of attitudes that they have, they have nothing else.
They have nothing else to call us.
They have nowhere else to go.
The fact of the matter is, is that we agree with you put into words the things that we think, the things we've been thinking for years, the way we've been seeing America.
They have nothing but lies and oppression on their side.
And we have the truth on our side, just like Martin Luther King did and the civil rights movement did.
In fact, Martin Luther King wrote a letter from jail in Birmingham in April of 63 when he was jailed for participating in anti-segregation protests, essentially saying that he knows through painful experience that the freedom is never voluntarily given by an oppressor.
It must be demanded by the oppressed.
And that's all we are doing.
Those of us that sympathize with the Tea Party movement, those of us that have a worldview that limited government is the way America was founded or what we were founded on.
They are really going to hate you.
They are really going to hate you.
You have called the most listened-to-radio talk show in the country and have compared a Tea Party to the Civil Rights Movement.
It is just like the Civil Rights Movement.
The oppressed.
It's demanding freedom.
It is demanding freedom from an oppressive, tyrannical government, which is the Democrat Party.
Well, you, sir, are like the voice of one crying in the wilderness.
Oh, not the wilderness anymore.
You are not only like Martin Luther King, you are like William Wallace trying to get the lords of the Republican Party to come to the table and I won't use any military terms, but to basically get a spine.
That's the word I'll use on the.
You know, you just reminded me of something out there, Ray.
Over the weekend, I think sometime Saturday morning, I was at the computer minding my own business, offending and bothering nobody.
And I got an email from a very high-ranking official in Washington urging a strategy for dealing with Obama's judicial nominations specifically to the Supreme Court.
And the essence of the note was that those of us in conservative media needed to inspire our Senate leaders to carry on the fight against these nominees.
And I looked at that and my mouth just fell open.
And my mouth was agape.
We in the conservative media must motivate our Senate leaders.
Are they leaders if motivating them is our charge?
I am reminded, again, as I mentioned, like the movie Braveheart, in the scene where the nobles were gathered, and William Wallace said to the chief noble there, if you would just lead us, we would follow.
Whoever comes, whoever wants to be president in 2012 can make that happen today.
They just need to step up and lead us to the election of 2012 and quit Mamby-Pambying around with these Democrats.
Well, I think, you know, there is a lot of fuss even to this day, and it's fear of the media inside Washington.
And there is lingering fear, although, you know, the House Republicans are great.
I mean, they're being, I don't want to get, I don't want to be misunderstood here.
I'm just reacting specifically to this thing about judicial nominees.
You know, we've got to really inspire.
We got to buck up our Senate leaders out there.
Let them know it's okay to kick ass.
And I think, you know, it's been too long that certain Republicans in Washington have been content to let us take the arrows, do the dirty work.
They didn't sneak in behind and execute whatever, thereby, you know, getting secondary and tertiary fire rather than the original broadside.
Funny observation.
Ray, I'm glad you called.
I appreciate the very nice things you said, and I appreciate them.
Be right back.
Much more straight ahead.
Don't go away.
And we're back, Rush Limbaugh, behind a golden EIB microphone at 800-282-2882.
Get this, a senior Iranian cleric says women who wear immodest clothing and behave promiscuously are to blame for earthquakes.
This is from Beirut.
Iran is one of the world's most earthquake-prone countries, and the cleric's unusual explanation for why the earth shakes follows a prediction by President Mahmoud Ahmedine Izad that a quake is certain to hit Tehran and that many of its 12 million inhabitants should relocate.
Many women who do not dress modestly lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity, and spread adultery in society, which increases earthquakes, said the cleric quoted as saying this by Iranian media.
These guys are crazy.
I mean, don't these clerics know that earthquakes are caused by global warming?
They're not caused by female promiscuity.
Tom in Dayton, Ohio, welcome to the EIB Network.
Great to have you on the program, sir.
Hey, thank you, Rush.
Hey, maybe Guam won't tip over whatever island it was after the earthquake.
Hey, I got a question.
It seems like that no matter what happens with conservative talk radio and such, that the march towards socialism is just not stopping.
If you look at your career booming for 20 years, and I listened to you from the 90s or probably late 89, I'm guessing, as you've got more popular, our schools in that, I mean, the socialist movement has just taken over.
I mean, it's so firmly entrenched now.
It's pathetic.
And number two, you know, you've also had your Glenn Becks and many other people throughout the last eight to 10 years.
And again, there's very little.
And then you have polls, say, in 80-20 and 70% of America believes in Tea Party, when in fact, there's poll after poll that says Obama would beat everybody, Paglin, McCain, all these other people again, if the election were held again.
So the- Wait, no, I haven't seen any poll.
Well, that poll was last week, in fact, was the latest, and it showed Palin losing as well as Romney losing to Obama.
And it was a Fox News, I believe, that showed it.
So I'm sitting here thinking, as all this was going on in terms of conservatism, talk radio and conservative different things.
You know, I've never once in all my years ever been approached by a conservative individual saying, hey, could you sign this?
Could you sign this?
But I've lost count of the amount of times throughout my life that I've been approached by a left-length individual for some cause or other.
It just seems like on the very bottom ground roots, we're losing it.
And we're losing it very bad.
There is no, I mean, there's school book after school book that you can pull out where anti-capitalism, anti-America, anti-this.
And yet, there's just, there's no way.
There is no way the conservative movement is gaining a foothold and growing where it's needed in this country.
At this point, you might have a point, but we are in the process of slowing the inexorable march, which has been going on for decades.
I shudder to think where we would be if we hadn't been here all these years.
I agree with that 100%.
Look, we are the majority in the country.
We are being governed by a minority that is governing against the will of the people, and they are much more adept at fraud and deceit.
I mean, there's so many differences between the conservative movement and the liberal movement.
And, you know, I'm hearing from some conservatives now that when it comes to these Obama judicial nominees, that the hell, look, if they are going to violate the Constitution to keep our nominees out, then we've got to play by the same rules.
It's down now.
It's too important.
So we filibuster Obama's nominees.
We filibuster them, even though we might think it's unconstitutional.
At some point, we have to stop this.
Where we conservatives play the game is in the arena of ideas.
We trust, you know, we're the old-fashioned civics 101 people.
We believe that an educated, informed public is the way to lead the country in the right direction.
The left is scared to death of that.
And that's why they have sought to control all these institutions to pervert and corrupt public opinion and thought, to propagandize it, to indoctrinate in the schools, the academies, and so forth.
They are not trying to convince people that they are right about anything.
They are not trying to win in the arena of ideas.
What the left is doing and has always done is trying to destroy the credibility of any of the people who speak against them.
And you have a good point when you get to Washington, D.C., inside the actual arena of ideas there.
You don't have a whole lot of conservatism on display.
You've got it on display outside Washington and outside state capitals, but where the elected officials are, the Republican Party, you don't find a lot of conservatism going on, which is why the movement now is so oriented against a third party.
It's got to be to once again do what Reagan did and take over and get the Republican Party to be a dominant conservative party.
That's what has to happen here.
It's, you know, as they say, it's nut cracking time.
You know, this is where we're at that point now.
And it's, we've been playing nice, been trying to play by the rules, and they don't.
And I find it fascinating to listen to how they think it's the exact opposite.
I'm always amazed by that.
Look, I appreciate the call.
Thanks much.
I have to move on.
Sierra Morgan, a 31-year-old respiratory therapist in Modesto, was billed $12,000 on her health care credit card in November for liposuction.
The problem was she never had it, and she didn't request it.
Brandon Sharp, 38, found more than $100,000 of unpaid medical bills on his credit report when he sought to buy a house.
The charges included $19,000 for a light flight or life flight helicopter trip and emergency room visits that he never made.
Now, identity theft stories like this are becoming alarmingly common.
There were more than 275,000 cases of medical information theft alone last year in the country, twice the number as in 2008.
And the average fraud total, $12,100.
Now, nobody is going to totally stop identity theft.
And I read articles like this time and time again, and I keep asking myself, why don't these people have lifelock?
My God, the hell that they have been put through trying to regain their identity and come up with ways to get out of paying this money that was fraudulently charged to them.
Don't let this happen to you.
Get Life Luck.
They protect your information.
They never sell it like some other companies do.
And their identity alert system is the best there is.
Just call them 800-440-4833 and you'll save 10% off the membership by simply mentioning me.
Offer code RUSH.
LifeLock is 800-440-4833.
Okay, all this time I thought that it was pollution and carbon emissions and all of that that was causing global warming, right?
From the LA Times from their opinion section yesterday, why cleaner air could speed global warming.
That's right, the world is running short on air pollution.
And if we continue to cut back on smoke pouring forth from industrial smokestacks, the increase in global warming could be profound.
My gosh, folks, I mean, we are damned if we do, and we're damned if we don't.
Pollute?
We destroy the planet.
Don't pollute?
Global warming.
And we all die.
