Five or six (I forget) huge corporations own ALL the major American media, and I doubt any of the CEOs are revolutionaries--LOL! As for Man causing global warming, that's true, that is a controversial question, but the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which is made up of scientists from 113 countries, finds a strong possibility that man is heavily impacting current global warming. I'd say burden of proof is now on the skeptics: Here's the 21 page report if you care to read it. I find it very interesting. Tell us what you think. No punches pulled on this one. They are pretty certain something's up and we're part of that something. I'd like to send a copy to all the automakers in fact as it might stimulate imaginative engineering, like better EVs, Hybrids and Hydrogen cars. This is the strongest worded report IPCC has put out. REPORT Nope, both polar ice caps are losing ground, so says NASA: Nasa Joins Gore Conspiracy Well can we agree on this statement: "Man's industrial activities probably contributes to natural global warming?"

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Nov 23, 2008 4:24 pm) Even a 4th grader should see through that ploy. Why even bother reading a report from such a "panel", I already know what their conclusions will be. Remember, I am old and I have seen this before. They can make it look official, but in the end, the results are predictable. If there were such a thing as "Intergovernmental Panel on Barking Dogs".... would that mean somthing needs to be done about canines making noise? |

In the meantime Al Gore has cornered the market on helium and mandates that we must breathe pure helium for 2 hours each day to offset excess weight...makes about as much sense as "fixing" global warming.

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Nov 23, 2008 4:24 pm) Most scientists now say the last 10 years is a cooling trend. That being the case how could man have anything significant to do with i?. We have not produced less CO2 over the last 10 years. I am for burning less fossil fuel. Just getting past those eco wackos in the USA, that have blocked most of the vehicles built in the World that use less fuel. As I am sure you are aware the Global Warming Cult have changed to Climate Change so they can push their snake oil in all kinds of weather. I'm shooting the first carbon credit sales person that comes to my door. |

Replying to: ruking1 (Nov 23, 2008 4:32 pm) Ah, so all the world's scientists are now on the suspect list? Hmmm, don't like the sound of that! Politicians didn't frame this 21 page report. It's as it was written by the scientists. Read it, it's interesting. Takes 15-20 minutes at best. ANYWAY -- we gotta veer back to the topic of automakers & global warming or we'll get yelled at! Don't you see the Big Three's lag in hybrid development and their consequent misplacement of product mix in general as a sign that they are out of step with developing technologies? |
