Science does not come with &quot;liberal&quot; or &quot;conservative&quot; ties: It just IS. Global warming is governed by the laws of physics, not the laws of the United States, or even the laws of the Bible.Mother Nature does not vote, and she will gladly flood the homes of Republicans and Democrats, Liberals and Conservatives alike.This is not a debate, it&#039;s a FACT, and you can blame yourself when your children die in a category 5 hurricane, you coward.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey dbreit, you&#039;re an absolute moron of the worst kind!
