Global warming was back on the table this week as familiar faces testified before congress about proposed caps and credits legislation. The problem with C&C is that they didn't work in Europe but cause serious increases in energy costs. Richard Loomis from World Energy Source (www.worldenergysource.com) guests in the first hour.

Then we open a new thread on the subject of Christian Zionism. A new movement in evangelical churches seeks to turn opinions against Israel. Dr. Paul Merkley is professor emeritus of history at Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, and author of "Christian Attitudes toward the State of Israel."

John's boralogue focuses on the polarization in American politics today and what it means in the light of the onrushing crises we face, given that both parties seem ignorant of the strategic picture where America is.
