around the World agree that Global Warming is happening and is caused by mankind.
Is the scientific evidence perfect? No,not today.
Will the factors be understood better tomorrow? Yes and the day after that will bring more information.

The public perception is forced by a dis-information push funded by corporation's who do not wish to lose profits or have them diminished by paying taxes nor lose their corporate welfare from subsidies.
The higher the profits for these entities means more re-election money for politician's who are in on the take.

The People have the power at the ballot box to vote out politicians who choose to side with the corporations against the common good and the will of the people.
They know this and that knowledge scares them to death.

Soon people will have choices as more technologies become affordable for the masses.
Photo Voltaics panels for the home have dropped in price by more than half in the past three years.
Solar water pre-heaters are now commercially available for the home.
Electric vehicles are approaching the Chicken/Egg scenario where enough demand increases production which in turn lowers prices which raises demand again.
Battery capacity and thus range is expanding yearly and projected to drop in price around 30% by 2017.
High Speed Rail is in development across much of the Nation which will reduce fuel consumption of passenger airlines. Many may find this attractive due to the invasive nature of the NTSA screenings.

There is more than one way to vote,vote for the future by buying environmentally friendly products,early and often.
Power to the People!
