Man has no effect on climate change, it changes every year and we are here for the ride, and nothing else. Anyone who feels differently is a fool.

Just look at the results. CO2 emissions are accelerating, not being controlled. World leaders are more concerned with appearing to be taking effective action rather than actually taking effective action. The goal being to preserve the status quo economic structure.

Stephen Stewart

A net force since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution was and caused global warming. Hey, the fact is that if you do not want the product, then do not buy it. Greed is a part of human nature. No one knows the answer to the question. Just do not buy the product or drive, period. Science

Stephen Stewart

The emphasis is on scientific and theological knowledge; science and theology share considerable commonality. Various models of the science-religion interaction have been proposed. A priori arguments are not Christian claims that the world is eternal, and reaction is normative.

Almost as bad an idea as replacing income taxes with higher sales taxes!

Max

You finally got one right. Did you have help?

A new tax is not the answer to the city's budget problems. City leaders need to live within your means, like everyone else. Vote NO on the new taxes.

Steve Baumann

We already pay enough in taxes. The City needs to check it's priorities and pull funding from programs that truly are not conductive to the day to day lives of the general tax paying citizen. Focus on the core competencies, not liberal dream programs.

Your own safety is your own responsibility.

Most people already drive 75 MPH, at least. Trust the people.

A lot of people drive faster than the posted speed limit - 75 to 80 instead of 70. Increasing the speed limit will just push the actual travel rates higher - 80 to 85 instead of 75. With all of the heavy trucks on the road (some that drive slow), higher speeds are just dangerous.

Shelley Vansell

Drivers are already driving 5 to 10 miles over the current limits so if it's increased I'm pretty sure they'll exceed the new limits.
