Anthems and Protests ---
While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible.
With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it.
Thank you for understanding.

The temperatures in the northern Canadian arctic have remained within .5 degrees Celcius of it's average over the past x-amount (I think 50ish) of years, so I doubt the "global warming" activists will have much proof to support their Chicken Little "the sky is falling" claims. Nature has its own quirks that humans will never understand, but when in doubt, the left can call it "global warming" and all of the sheeple will listen.

I agree with you Seeing Red. I'm 44 now, and seen a lot of 'panic buttons'
pushed by 'scientists' in my time thus far. Some examples....in the 1970's....
they told everyone DON'T EAT EGGS-They will Kill you! Then it was only eat up
to 3 eggs per week. I've seen coffee go from poison to health food, same for
chocolate. I've heard them talk about even knowing all the species that existed
in the world, and here just in the past 18 months, we have discovered over 5,000
new species. It's a learning process, science, not fact, but "theories".
For another GREAT example....Just this past week on the radio, it has been
discovered that the hole in the Ozone Layer is actually thought to be good for
our environment now....as it allows for dangerous gases to be released.
*shrugs shoulders* Honestly, no one should panic or come to great conclusions.
Sit back, wait 5-10 years, and the bad news currently about the Greenhouse Effect
will reverse itself. I am not kidding. Tends to be the history of science, to change course.
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

Got to agree with most of what you're saying here. No one can predict the weather next week, let alone 10 or more years.
They will never be able to make me quit drinking coffee or eating chocolate.
There are two kinds of teams in the AFCW; The losers and the Broncos!!!
I Support our Troops!
How do you expect me to have a RED WHITE and BLUE sig when the background is obnoxious white?

If they can't figure out medicine....such as the common cold, how
to stop cholesterol, how to cure cancer....how in the world are
we supposed to believe they have the 'ozone layer' figured out,
which is not exactly....accessible.
Yeah for Coffee! Yeah for Chocolate! Yeah!

Neither does Micheal Crichton the famous author/scientist. I defer to him.
There are many folks/scientists who dispute the theory.
Temperature record keeping has only been done for two centuries. Ice samples show wild fluctuating swings such as we are experienceig now.
The people who try to cram it down our throats are the same ones who want government funding to do MORE RESEARCH funded by TAX dollars. It is such a crock.
30 years ago the cover of TIME magazine warned of global cooling... citing some of the SAME scientists who now warn of global warming.
It is such a bogus deal. A preconceived agenda... not a scientific process.
The Al Gore movie has been specificly and scientificly rejected as pure propaganda. It was manipulation of the staistics. When asked about his errors Gore stated that there would be a study out later to prove him right. That says it all... he states in advance of a "scientific" study what the outcome will be.
All I have said here is nothing but fact. Not controversial.
No opinion. Other than that I do not believe in the theory of global warming.
On the history or discovery channel, it said that "Global Warming" will create a new Ice age. No joke. They said that because the cold water is going south, it will dilute the Atlantic Current by the East coast. That current carries heat up the coast but if it gets diluted, no more heat up north which would cause freezing.
In the North Atlantic, sediments accumulated since the end of the last ice age nearly 12,000 years ago show regular increases in the amount of coarse sediment grains deposited from icebergs melting in the now open ocean, indicating a series of 1-2ºC (2-4°F) cooling events recurring every 1,500 years or so. The most recent of these cooling events was the Little Ice Age. These same cooling events are detected in sediments accumulating off Africa, but the cooling events appear to be larger, ranging between 3-8ºC (6-14°F) [19].
Its just the pattern of history.
When "global warming" started, didnt scientists say it was because of cow flatulentce.
The warming is within the range of natural variation. The warming is a consequence of coming out of a prior cool period, namely the Little Ice Age.
The warming is primarily a result of variances in solar irradiance, possibly via modulation of cloud cover [26]. It is similar in concept to the operating principles of the Wilson cloud chamber, but on a global scale where earth's atmosphere acts as the cloud chamber and the cosmic rays catalyze the production of cloud condensation nuclei.
The observed warming actually reflects the Urban Heat Island, as most readings are done in heavily populated areas which are expanding with growing population [27].
