It get winter. It gets summer. Deal with it.

Prove it.

If Congress were to pass a law forbidding anyone from profiting while "fixing"the global climate crisis, then *poof* the problem would disappear. I still don´t understand how paying Algore for carbon credits saves the planet.

Ridge was a joke when he worked for Bush and nothing has changed.How can the weather be considered a national security threat?It´s people that cause threats,not nature.The world get worse everyday with people like Ridge joining the warmer crowd when there´s plenty of new proof that climate change is just part of a weather cycle.

Tom, put some duct tape over your mouth.

Idiot!

Ridge, another RINO locked into the Wash DC money pit.

So if the weather gets warmer, Al Queda will get stronger and we will get weaker?

I can´t count the number of times I have read how the globe has not gotten warmer in the past decade.

The biggest security threat we have are the idiots in Washington.

Weather has "changed" on a daily basis ever since I can remember. My personal extremes have been 105 degrees fahrenheit riding a bus in the Bronx in 1955 and -15 degrees fahrenheit with wind out of the northwest for a wind chill effect of -75 degrees fahrenheit in the Catskill mountains in 1980.

We used to call them ´seasons´.

Now we call them ´climate change´.

It is nothing more than another gummint hustle, like food stamps, EBT, and Head Start (Boot camp for the Welfare State).

It is always disappointing when someone you respected turns out to be For Sale.

Global warmists claim that the earth has warmed 3/4ths of a degree Celsius (1.3 degrees Fahrenheit). Almost all of this they claim happened prior to 1970. They claim there has been none for 16 years. So, in other words, even according to the alarmists, the world got a degree warmer before most of the people on it were born, then stopped. The ´hottest year on record´ thing is supposed to be a matter of hundredths of a degree. They claim this one degree difference causes everything from murders to meteors. They were caught with emails discussing how to ´hide the decline´. Even if we take their word for all this, why should we all assume we are going to die from a single degree of temperature difference that happened 40 years ago?

The temperature is rising alright. Its from people like me seething with rage because we keep reading about all the oil this country now has because of fracking but the price of gas continues to skyrocket. The environmentalist wackos like Ridge won´t let us get to the oil and refine it so everyone suffers.

I thought that there was suppose to be a separation of church and state. ´Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion´

Who ARE these people we´ve had in our government?

Evidence? We don´t need no stinkin´ evidence!

#11 nails it. Sighned, sealed, delivered.

Obama and his gang of thugs are a bigger national threat at the moment than so called climate change.

“They´re not talking about whether or not it [anthropogenic global warming] is occurring – it is," Ridge said.

That makes it a lot simpler. Leave it to a politician to solve the riddle of the global warming sphinx.

Is global warming really occurring? Is it significant? Is it man-caused? Can anything be done about it? Will the benefits of such action outweigh the costs and side effects?

Yes; yes; yes; yes; yes! Thus spake Tom Ridge and a room full of other politicians and bureaucrats who have no training in science and know nothing about the topic at hand.

They are not wasting precious time talking about whether global warming, with all its projected horrors, is occurring. They have concluded that it is occurring. They are not going to just stand there doing nothing, either. They are going to run in circles, scream and shout, warn and try to awaken the sleeping public, proclaim the danger, increase the spending, roll out the regulations, throttle back and choke down the economy, hold news conferences, apply for grants, hold meetings, send representatives, and do whatever they can to add to the confusion, foment the hysteria, agitate the populace, allocate resources, expand the government etc. etc. etc.

I know they mean well. Most of them, any way. But I wish they would get another hobby. Can´t they play golf or something? They could still get together and TALK to each other about the dread spectacle of global warming. They just need to stop forcing their pet personal peeve and hobby on the rest of us. It reminds me of those Christian evangelists who are always ringing the front door bell and handing out tracts. Nice people, but a bit of a bother.

We can always find an Anti-God angle to most of the liberal Democrat agenda. Climate change has it as well. The global warming crowd suggests that God might be able to create the earth but, by golly, man can destroy it. Take that, God! Amazing.

Sorry Governor, but I´ll stick with the founder of The Weather Channel John Coleman´s point of view..."Global Warming:It is a hoax. It is bad science. It is high-jacking public policy. It is the greatest scam in history.":

#11 nails it!

Another severely conservative Bush loyalist. Maybe Karl Rove can find him work.

Mr Ridge wouldn´t have any financial interests in companies that would benefit from climate change legislation, would he?

That´s right, #27. Follow the money. What sort of person takes a position that is demonstrably false in order to make a profit? Why, a politician, of course.

Though others have beat me to it, I´ll say it anyway: #11 says it all!

How many MORE of these kinds of prounouncements are we going to see in the coming days?

Republicans latching on to liberal ideologies in a sad attempt to gain political traction-- do they not know they are going to cut off their legs trying to out-lib the libs on junk science?

This "me too" notion that liberal republicans can do a better job of running things than the libs has got to stop! Why sell out integrity and soul for unproven ideas?

We were sold this bill of goods by the current regime and now look at how much graft and corruption have resulted with no improvement unless you were the Obamaboozlers "friends".

Idiots

The real threat to our national security is that we continue to spend trillions of dollars of made up money on BS that has no lasting value, including the mitigation of climate change.

Bush 43 could have done the world a big favor if he had (just for fun) espoused AGW. The national meda and all the libs would have made sure to expose it for the hoax that it is.
Or even if Ridge has made these comments when he was at DHS. The topic would have been dead and buried by now.

We conservatives are running out of patience with the brain-dead of our own party. Can´t take much more.

Build the fence, eliminate dual citizenship and balance the budget, then we will worry about what might occur in 2200.

I´ll make this short and sweet: Tom Ridge is a tool.

I would guess that Tom Ridge has investments in this scam.

Hey you, yea you the stupid moron...look up, see the bright yellow ball? It´s the freekin SUN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Global Warming Basic Formulas that should be taught in grade school:

S + P = P
(Science + Politics = Politics)

P = BS
(Politics = B*ll sh*t)

Democrat party is a party of liars and thieves!

Lets be honest so are the Repubs. And it is to late to clean them out of the party. The gig is up.

Hail comrades

Politicians are full of schitt, and it´s leaking out their mouths. How did we get to be controlled by these people? The threat is that these morons will ruin the country trying to "save´ it.
