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.

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? |

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Nov 23, 2008 4:47 pm) But KPFA streams on the net too. Sounds like it's bluegrass night there. [edit - Ruking, usually you can find the stream just by going to the web site; otherwise try Shoutcast.com or similar for 1,000s of stations worldwide.] |

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Nov 23, 2008 4:24 pm) If your a student of history you will realize that the timeline is littered with the best scientists of their era being wrong. And I can certainly with a straight face standup and say "man is heavily impacting" as heavily is very subjective, and could be anywhere from 0.001% to 99.999%, without being a lie. I'd say burden of proof is now on the skeptics. No. In science proof is required of those proposing something. The FDA does not do testing; it reviews the testing presented. Similarly when cold-fusion was announced, the burden of proof is on the proposers. I just saw a National Geographic show concerning the Vikings and Europe in the 1200-1600 time-frame and sudden climate change has been documented in pre-industrial ages. Even today the amount of emissions from man is small compared to nature. The amount of energy we use is very small compared to the Sun's and other radiations that reaches the air and surface of the Earth. I think you need to stop thinking man is the omnipotent factor in nature; do a little research and look at the numbers on nature's emissions and energy, relative to humans. |
