Global Warming

[UFO74]

Ever feel guilty about taking you FGT out for a ride just for the pleasure of driving it, because your drive may contribute to Global Warming.

Watch this short video from the founder of the Weather Channel how he blows Al Gore's climate change scam out the window. Finally, a REAL EXPERT showing the fallacy of the concept of "global warming".

Well, I watched the video . . .

I really love this guy. Well, by following this “logic”, I might conclude that there was never proof that a Dinosaur was killed because it was exposed to radiation. Radiation is found everywhere in Nature. (Forgiveness requested from any that don’t believe our world is greater than 2,000 or 4,000 years old, and might not believe there were ever Dinosaurs.) Radiation is present in everyday life. There is no danger. So how could anyone conclude that being exposed to radiation is harmful or could cause death? As a matter of fact, without radiation there would be no life. Sorry, but the logic of these circular arguments, like those he challenges, are flawed.

No, even though I accept that there are consequences to every action regarding this environment and accept the poisons spewing from the tailpipes as a negative contributor, I never feel guilty about blasting down the road in the GT. Unfortunately in this current season of light snow and cold air there is not too much of that.

I have always been highly sceptical about 'global warming'. It's simply a convenient method of raising taxes.

Man's contribution to C02 is a fraction of 1% and, as frequently acknowledged, C02 is present in the environment - the largest contributors being volcanoes, the oceans and algae. Unfortunately our respective governments have not found an effective way of taxing volcanoes, or indeed the oceans and algae.

The planet gets cold, then it warms up a bit, then it gets cold again - before warming up again. It's just what happens.

Here Here! This guy should get a medal! I'll be sending this link to every Gore-lover I can think of.
My company has an environmental services group and its head (an environmental specialist and recognized expert in the field) notes that there's no way you can draw conclusions from the little data available, i.e. global warming might or might not be happening, and we do not have the ability to influence it one way or the other because our contribution is microscopic compared to e.g. sun-spot activity and other natural events. I thought it was unreal at Copenhagen when various nations were arguing over whether we should limit global warming to 1.5 or 2.0 degrees - what arrogance mankind has if we actually believe we can influence the world at such a detailed level.
Like Neilda, I drive a RR - supercharged HSE - and on a good day I'll get 16mpg. I don't feel in the least bit guilty, nor when I drive my 10mpg hot rod or 12mpg FGT.

 

[BlackICE]

I propose that those people who believe that global warming is substantially created by man's emission of CO2 put there breath where their mouth is and


STOP BREATHING AND HAVING CHILDREN.

Then all of their problems will cease to exist.

Rock Solid Unassailable Truth #1.

Gentlemen,

For billions of years before mankind existed this world was here. It spun and warmed and cooled. Continents shifted, oceans rose and fell, glaciers covered huge landmasses and then melted and receded, the contents of the atmosphere once contained CO2 concentrations over 20 times higher than they are today, life forms arose, species evolved and then became extinct.

This earth was moving and shaking and changing for uncounted millennia before mankind appeared on the scene and it will be doing the same for uncounted millennia after mankind is long gone. In this massive universe, our entire world is not as consequential as a pimple on an elephant's ass. And on this tiny earth, mankind is equally inconsequential in the long term, grand scheme of things.

That I even exist is a billion to one shot, courtesy of the grace of God. In the blink of an eye, I will be gone.

So if anyone thinks I'm going to limit my flying, boating, motorcycling, or driving because I may add some flyspeck insignificant amount of CO2 to an atmosphere that currently contains only 5% of that same gas that it previously contained billions of years ago, please let me clear up your misconception.

Screw that.

Now, I'm off to the garage to get out the GT. I will meet fellow owners and we will jointly spew a glorious amount of CO2 into the atmosphere while entertaining ourselves this afternoon.

Happy New Year.

Chip

Some very powerful interests are figuring a way to make money off of this malarkey. Our liberal friends (term used very loosely) like Al Gore and Nancy Pelosi obviously have similar opinions (as demonstrated by their 'green footprint' and not by their words) as the posters in this thread . They have just figured out how to position themselves to participate in the windfall.

The key for the normal schlub is to figure out how to get in on this bonanza...because no matter which side of the fence you're on, they are shoving it down our throats while stealing our wallets.

I'm just to dumb to figure out how I either minimize their profiteering on my back, or get in line to participate while keeping my dignity.

There are some very brilliant and astute minds that participate on this Forum. If there are any suggestions on the above, I'm all ears.

'cause the train is coming.............

'cause the train is coming.............

Weeeeeeeeeeeell, ya might first wanna see if it's scheduled to arrive at the station PRIOR TO Nov., 2010. If it's not, then before it arrives it may be switched to a side rail and "parted out". Maybe.:bored

Let's hope so. But note since the Supreme Court has ruled that the EPA can control CO2, if Congress doesn't act the EPA may do so! :ack

 

[Fubar]

Nobody likes it when their globes are cold. I suggest we all do our part to keep globes warmer.

As a geophysicist, after studying the subject off and on my whole life there is no doubt in my mind that man is changing the climate. I frankly wish it were a conspiracy, but it isn't. The average person won't see its effects until we are all long dead and gone.

I would agree, but I don't believe man's contribution to weather changes are significant in the big picture, nor is it the main contributor. All plants and animals change the earth, e.g. if trees didn't exist the climate would be much different, does that mean trees are bad?

In the end the earth will still be here long after humans are gone and there isn't a damn thing we can do about it.

That's one of the reasons why I stated, "maybe".:bored :frown





(Edit: The EPA can't dictate SQUAT if it's disbanded)

 

[S592R]

well, has climate changed? yes it has. it has for millions and millions of years. One only has to look historically and look how man adapted to the change in the environment.. long before the invention of the internal combustion engine man was changing the terrain he lived in. it was called progress and one of the reasons that we are able to sit here a debate this in the electronic world instead of talking about it while bent over tending the subsistence garden is because of said progress.

Mankind will adapt to the change in climate ... the world is not going to end but unless we as individuals tell the greenies to stop talking carbon and actually start addressing real ecological issues .. then a global taxation system will be put into place and the economy of the world will crack .. people will starve and the population will be reduced. where does this info come from? UN and USA government documents. Politically controlled funding will always skew what it funds toward the political goals of those in charge of the check book.

need I say more?

As an earth scientist I agree with your opinion 100%. :cheers

I personally try to talk every person I meet into driving an electric car!!!

THAT WAY IT SAVES GAS FOR ME TO USE IN MY HOTRODS!!!!!:banana:banana

Keeping your dignity is the tough part. I'm well on my way to building a business to stand in front of the firehose of federal funds (actually an offshoot of one of my current businesses). However I keep running into my conscience and getting sick at the thought of making money off of what is essentially a huge scam.

Then I remind myself that someone is going to do it. I'm in the fossil fuels business so I'm kind of looking at it like a hedge. It wouldn't hurt my feelings at all if that 'train' was parted out.

Guess: Oil & Gas = Primary and Wind Energy = Hedge??

I'd agree to cut US Co2 'footprint' right after China agrees to curbs theirs.
