I can simply go to the 4 SD (standard devation) and find an eception contrary to the the other accuratly described 99% of the subjects/data. Its simple in any set of data youre going to find "out lyers" on the wiings or tails. Lean basic statistics befor swallowing that swill in the public media. Becoma a critical consumer of media not some fox network zombie. Even our former president Bush II and the Republican party admits to global CLIMATE CHANGE. Granted for years they flatly refused to accept modern information saying there was no such thing as global climate change. Considering they were the clowns who also thought coal is formed in 15,000 years and most likly still belive the world is flat id say that is a remakable flip flop!. Im a conserviative and belive it would be prudent and conserviative to consider our planet at jepordy and actually do something about it instead of mouthing off FOX News slogans who run those stories in an attempt to increase ratings/profits from commercials sales. Get smart Get informed Bob |

Get smart Get informed Bob Oh, wait! There's PLENTY of "climate change"! It's been there for billions of years and no amount of New World Order or new taxes will change it one bit. NO, no....Global Climate Change is a natural occurance...periods of intense glaciation followed by periods just like the last few hundred years....global warming until the next ice age caused by the solar cycles. Noone is denying global climate change. No, that's not the question, even though when confronted they do the same political bull**** you do. You say I deny "climate change", which is simply not true. There, now you have it. Now, let's talk about ANTHROPOMORPHIC climate change: http://www.google.com/search?q=anthr...climate+change Now we have a completely different topic. Are the HUMANS, those tiny *******s loaded down with religious guilt by thousands of years of religious delusion who simply MUST be responsible for everything in the universe....and can change it for the better by SACRIFICING themselves, their economies, their families, their way of life some guilty greenie asshole wants to force upon them, guilty or not. The new question is not about climate at all. It's about CONTROL by a new cult of tree huggers, like Greenpeace (who has DIESEL SHIPS SPEWING OUT VAST QUANTITIES OF CO2 and who fly hoards of demonstrators around the planet in jet planes). Greenie hypocracies who want to put YOUR life back into the age of the horse and buggie....but not themselves, of course. There is not a single shred of honest evidence the tiny bit of CO2 HUMANS have put in the atmosphere, which does NOT accumulate any more than all that 30 weight Quaker State motor oil we poured into your local lake with our 2-stroke outboard motors running 15:1 mixtures for over a hundred years did. Now, let's go here and have a realistic look: http://www.whrc.org/carbon/images/Gl...bonCycleLG.gif The amount of TOTAL CO2 in the air, TOTAL FROM ALL SOURCES, is about 390 parts per million. To put that into perspective for a middle school class a friend of mine teaches, we took 390ppm out of a 10,000 gallon swimming pool in the gym of their school. That amounts to, ALMOST, but not quite 4 gallons. 10,000 x .000390 = 3.9 gallons. So, with the pool completely like glass, pump off, no agitation by 7th grade boys, the students marked the pool wall then took out 3.9 gallons in plastic milk jugs and made another mark how much of the total "atmosphere" was "CO2" in the milk jugs. Of course, that's crazy! The pool never noticed all the "CO2" missing. THEN, of the 3.9 gallons, using the data off this chart for the 6.5PGm of HUMAN CREATED CO2 Gore and the warmers never want to talk about....The HUMAN created "CO2" out of the pool amounts to about 9.4 OUNCES out of a 10,000 gallon swimming pool. If humans shut down COMPLETELY, A TOTAL CO2 BAN, only 6.5PGm of the total CO2 pumped in and out of the atmosphere by the natural cycles (see the chart! OPEN YOUR EYES, DAMMIT!) would make hardly any difference AT ALL. Human CO2 has the same effect on the air banning the damned 65 cent/pound Refridgerant 12 and forcing the $8.98/12oz R-134a did....NO EFFECT AT ALL. The only effect banning either COMPLETELY would do is called ECONOMIC DISASTER for all of us. How stupid...... Your turn.............................................. .. -- Creationism is to science what storks are to obstetrics. Larry |

Hello Lary: Then why did the Repubican party and Rush Limbaugh et al. deny global warming and Global Climate Change for so long and then do a 180 flip flop during the second administration of Bush II only to agree, yes, our climate is changing dramitcally???????? What cause those repunlicans to change their mind? Or dont you remember all those jokes about tree huggers and Gore being wacky to even consider that our climat was changing?

What made Rush change his mind so rapidly and dramatically. Bob Larry I think the point is that there have been periods in the earth's history when the climate has been both hotter and colder then it is today. The Thames River in England used to freeze over, the first River Thames frost fair was in 1607; the last in 1814, villages were destroyed by glaciers in Switzerland, ice caps increased in size, the Atlantic Ice pack increased from around 1250, etc. Was this drop in temperature caused by the world population generating less CO2? Or is it considered a normal change in climate? Is the present increase in temperature normal or caused by mankind? Is there any specific evidence to prove the cause? My understand is that there is a body of conflicting evidence which no one can categorically state proves anything. Another point is that most of the environmental furor is extremely hypocritical. If CO2 is a problem they why not a ban on internal combustion engines larger then, say 900 cc. ? I've driven a 900 cc automobile and they will carry you where you want to go, you don't need the SUV. Why not a ban on internal combustion powered shipping entering U.S. ports? We know that sailing ships work. Outlaw more then one automobile in a family? Motorcycles limited to, say 90 cc? No powered lawn mowers or dish washers, after all I doubt if your grandmother had a dishwasher. I could go on but no one is going to listen. No, they would rather ride around in their SUV and weep crocodile tears. The environment is like the weather, every one talks about it but nobody actually does anything about it.

Yes, there are conflicting studies and studies that simply interpret existing data to produce a new claim. Its is a very compelling stratigie. All I have to do is pay some shister PH D from BP or Chevron to publish some bogus study. Poof ! Now we have conflicting body of literature since that occures we can continue saying: "Even the experts doint agree" says Fox News reporter. Unfortuanly the worlds reputable scientest doall all agree.................. humans impact the worlds climate. Another point is that most of the environmental furor is extremely hypocritical.

Cheers, Bruce many people are listening except the teabaggers/republicans/fox network keep screaming so loud its hard to hear a normal voice. Dont they undersand they are simply pupets of big oil and big business.... hey larry hows it feel to be manipulated so easily? keep up the good work Bruce. |

Unfortuanly the worlds reputable scientest doall all agree.................. humans impact the worlds climate. O.K. we'll assume that you are correct. what is being done about it? I don't keep up with U.S. politics to any extent but I certainly haven't seen anything being legislated that is going to have an effect on CO2 emissions. Oh yes, we can horse around with a carbon tax but will that do anything worthwhile? Certainly not as much as outlawing internal combustion engines, or severely limiting their size. Sailing ships only into U.S. ports! And while they are messing about with carbon taxes the Chinese smokestacks are still belching smoke. How about a law that nothing more is to be imported from China unless they immediately cut carbon emissions. But I very much doubt that anyone is going to mess with the 500 lb. Chinese gorilla.

I'm not sure what you mean about puppets of big oil and big business as frankly I don't find it true. I hear people advocating all kinds of conspiracy theories but I never see any evidence that it is true. The "Weapons of mass destruction" is a perfect example. Advanced by the President of the U.S. and the P.M. of G.B. and possibly others and certainly repeated by a very large percent of the US population. Cheers, Bruce (bruceinbangkokatgmaildotcom) |
