Think of all the fertile soil it would free up.
Makes as much sense as GW does.

Yes, but it would kill the Salt Water Taffy business, wouldn't it?

Gets boring watching a bunch of guys who never went to college pretend to know more than the vast vast vast majority of scientists.

While looking around on sites I sometimes read, I came across Michelle Malkin's personal experience with medical marijuana

A Conservative Mom Breaks the Pot Taboo


I find her last sentences rather ironic and somewhat contradictory as relates her climate change views.

A lot of upset anti-weed people in the comments.

I went to two colleges, back when going to
college meant something. When they
didn't give degrees for just showing up.

Exactly
Believing the clear majority of scientists is common sense. If I am not an expert in the field then I defer to the experts. Again, common sense.

Actually common sense says we do not have good temperature records for more than 150 years or so, this being the case we cannot even begin to establish a temperature trend.

When you take a stat class in college you learn something about sample size. Try it then maybe you can think for yourself on the matter instead of being told what to think.

Withdrawing from a non-binding pact that was hugely unfavorable to our economy and had no actual teeth to do anything about the environmental issues was a good move.

Saying that doesn't make me somehow "against" the planet; I try to do things to help the planet every single day. We should do the good work that needs to be done to negate as much of our impact on the climate as is reasonable. That doesn't mean that we should harm our economy and just watch China (or any other nation) pollute while taking our money.

Following that line of reasoning you are also not an expert in the field of politics. Trump was expert enough to get elected to the most important political office in the world. Please defer to him as per your common sense.
