I laughed when at the Academy Awards, they announced that the Oscars

production was the brass shine on Melissa Etheridge's hair...



Well 25 of the "stars" drove up in Prius hybrids, Clooney among them.
They also purchased a big chunk of "green" electricity to power the
thing.

Green Schpeen......... To little to late. My yukon is red and gets terrible
milage. It sure is comfy though. I am not even going to try to conserve. Like
quitting smoking when they tell you that you have lung cancer.

That is probably true. If we suspended the production of green house
gasses overnight, we'd also halt the production of particulates. The
particlutes would precipitate to the earth within a year and would no
longer act as a brake on global warming by reflecting some of the suns
energy. The gasses would remain for decades if not centuries and warming
would actually worsen.

Actually, a close pass in 2029 will let us know what to expect in
2036.

According to the latest research and reported in the media, if we
stopped pollution today, the GW effect would continue for a couple of
decades, then level off. If we don't curtail our pollution, the GW
effect will get much worse at a lot faster rate.

The obvious question though, in my view, isn't about GW directly. It's
do you really want to breathe all that crap, swim in polluted water,
and not experience all the myriad aquatic/land life that currently
exists.

Even O'Reilly believes in man-created GW and that the US gov't should
take the lead on solving the problem. It's not often I agree with him.

There exists NO scientific proof that such a thing as "man-created
global warming exists". Until such time as it can be established that
there exists such a thing as "man-created global warming," it would be
totally irresponsible for the US government to get involved. The US
government has no constitutional mandate to lift even a little finger
even if there existed scientific proof that mankind was responsible for
global warming. In the absence of any such scientific proof it would
border on criminal for the US government to act. This demonstrates the
total bankruptcy of liberal thinking. Liberals think doing something,
anything that shows you care is more important than doing something
constructive. . .
