Replying to: steve_ (Jul 08, 2009 1:01 pm)  This crap is almost entertaining to watch !! Notice that even Google (anybody ever heard of Google?  ) which is headquartered in Mountain View, CA (near Santa Clara, CA) does NOT have MOST of its "server farms" in CA !!?? link title

"Carbon Dioxide Higher Today Than Last 2.1 Million Years" http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/06/090618143950.htm We are heading into uncharted territory. http://www.greencarcongress.com/2009/07/china-parc-20090705.html#more As the Chinese motor vehicle fleet grows we can expect the CO2 contribution to increase, however, the increasing number of coal power plants and cement plants will likely exceed the amount generated by vehicles. The increase in vehicles is truly staggering. In another 5 to 10 years they will exceed the U.S. When that happens we will need to continue the discussion on a Chinese forum, assuming of course, that you can actual discuss this issue without censorship.

Replying to: avalon02wh (Jul 08, 2009 6:02 pm) "This study tells us that CO2 was not the main trigger, though our data continues to suggest that greenhouse gases and global climate are intimately linked." How can anyone believe that the whole GW/CC business is anything but a money grab by people like Al Gore? Calling those that do not buy into his scam, Nazis. Glad to see that old Byrd calling the Cap n Trade what it really is today. The House will be lucky if half the Democrat Senators buy into their huge tax and spend scheme.
