What dangers? It cannot be demonstrated that the Earth is on a definite, long-term warming trend. Nor has it be shown that such a trend would be invariably bad. Just what does Warren get for acknowledging the maybe dangers of a maybe warming? “who acknowledges the dangers of global warming…”

What dangers?

It cannot be demonstrated that the Earth is on a definite, long-term warming trend. Nor has it be shown that such a trend would be invariably bad.

Just what does Warren get for acknowledging the maybe dangers of a maybe warming?

As for this invocation business, I really don't care except for how much angst it is causing Obamaniacs. Who knows what Obama is signaling here, except for the prez-elect?

Wright was "completely correct" when he alleged the US government created HIV/AIDS to kill black men? As someone with common sense, who loves his country, and who volunteered every weekend delivering meals and spending time with HIV-positive DC residents, I find that highly offensive, not to mention down right asinine. Rev. Warren, on the other hand, who acknowledges the dangers of global warming (an unpopular position in the evangelical and conservative community), is a "snake oil salesman," in your eyes. I guess he was selling snake oil, too, when urging his congregation to donate to AIDS research... How can anyone be so delusional? So, Joseph, Rev.
