You guys are really sucked into this eco-religious global
warming pap. It is pure garbage, nothing but gloom and doom for profit.
1) The Earth has been seeing significant rises and falls in both temperature and
co2 levels since the dawn of time. The last time we got warm, it was called the
medieval climate optimum. Look it up. It was not catastrophic at all, nor did
life on earth cease to exist. It was considered optimum then, but now it is a
crisis?
There are ice ages and warm periods as evidenced by ice cores and tree ring
samples. We are breaking no new ground here, except possibly the level of
deception that you have been sold. Kill me if I misquote, but wasn't it hitler
that said that if you repeat a lie enough, people will believe it. Adolph's
mantra lives on in the enviro-left of today.
2) It is pure arrogance to think that man has control over the climate on a
large scale. If we could change the weather, wouldn't we eliminate killer
tornadoes, hurricanes, typhoons, etc? Alarmism is easy, what is your plan?
Everyone put their cars in a lock box and give them to algore while he jets
around the country? Impress me eco-fools, change the weather even one little
iota. If you can do that I will stop calling you fools.
3) Do you really think that doubling the gas mileage on your Saab or eliminating
every source of carbon based energy for 10 years would actually reduce co2
levels? Maybe try better environmental policy on our public lands.
Environmentalists attempting to convert industrial forests to wild lands through
neglect have burned down what, 30, 40 million acres of forests in the last 15
years?> How much C02 did that give off?The proposals offered so far would have
no effect in the grand scheme of things, other than a lot of pain for the common
man.
4) How many active volcanoes are there in the world right now? Those spew
billions of tons of pollutants (and C02)every year, many times more that man and
industry combined in my estimation. The ones in the ocean also cause sea surface
warming and put off a tremendous amount of steam. BTW, the #1 greenhouse gas in
concentration is water vapor. If you just stop the volcanoes, you can
significantly drop both C02 and water vapor levels, and a host of other
pollutants. It still wouldn't change the earth's temperature.
Point #5 IT IS CALLED THE SUN! The sun is what warms the earth. If you check
solar output against global temperature measurements you will find that they
follow the same path. The sun heats us, and when it is hotter, it stands to
reason that we get hotter too. If you are so positive that global warming is
anthroprogenic (man made), explain why Mars is also warming at the same pace as
solar output and the earth increases and decreases. Is man sooooo evil that he
has already spread global warming to other planets>? Get serious.
6) Your sources are tainted and in some cases fraudulent. If you are a climate
researcher and you find that there is no crisis, where is your research grant
for next year coming from? To have an ongoing job, you need an ongoing crisis.
This applies to the IPCC, climate researchers, the various green organizations
like the NRDC, sierra club and their ilk. As far as the fraud, Mann's hockey
stick graph has been proven to be an intentional fraud. It makes the same shape
no matter what numbers are put in by the way that the model handles (and
eliminates unfavorable) data.
7) I am tired of hearing how almost every scientist in the world is on board
with the global warming fraud. It isn't so. There is this thing called the
Petition Project. It is where over 17,000 VERIFIED scientists signed the
following statement against the signing of the Kyoto Protocol...
http://www.oism.org/pproject/s33p37.htm
It is worded as follows...
We urge the United States government to reject the global warming agreement that
was written in Kyoto, Japan in December, 1997, and any other similar proposals.
The proposed limits on greenhouse gases would harm the environment, hinder the
advance of science and technology, and damage the health and welfare of mankind.
There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide,
methane, or other greenhouse gasses is causing or will, in the foreseeable
future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of
the Earth's climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that
increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the
natural plant and animal environments of the Earth.
8) I am ashamed that cnet and so many of my fellow netizens have gotten sucked
into this eco-religious hype and "catastrophe right around the corner" pap.
Don't you know that the eco-religious groups want to take away your energy use
and return the developed world into a third world toilet? That is why they
oppose every single power line, oil drilling project, power plant, and refinery
proposed. They have openly advocated $8 a gallon gas so less of YOU will drive
cars, boats, whatever. They gave some guy an award for "Wishing some sort of
virus on mankind to eliminate 90% of the population". Now they have so many of
you sucked into chanting their lies.
Don't you like electricity and your car? Are you ready to give them up, or do
you want more proof of the fable that you propagate? Do you want it to cost more
to have energy so that less people can have it? What are you really advocating
here? Are you ready to live in the third world?
Global warming is for the most part natural. Blame the sun, blame the volcano,
blame the ocean and the water vapor and the c02 that gives life to plants. None
of the garbage proposed and none of the doomsday scenarios will change the
atmosphere a single degree. If you want to cut global warming, a good place to
start is with all of the hot air produced by eco freaks and the brainwashed
stooges that follow them.
