fstfwd.. I did not say ban the jets..  I said that you can't ban SUV's and not ban the jets.  

I don't think any ban is needed.   I think the man made global warming scare is a swindle and I do believe that margret thatcher used was one of the perpetrators of the swindle so that she could get nuke power and do away with the pesky coal minors and their unions.

carl sagan was a blowhard and chicken little who was wrong about the kuwait oil fires just as he was about man made global warming... the man was a joke.

Yea like she is not going to go back on a previous position.:rolleyes:
She is a politician  first and foremost, it will be a cold day in hell before she changes position.

just sayin'



So..........you are saying no bans/no limitations............on anything....right?

You are "just sayin`"?

yep... I would agree with the hand wringers if they simply said that we didn't have to ban anything and that the free market would take care of the "problem".

I would still believe that "man made global warming" is about 99.5% swindle and that even banning jets would have no effect other than to collapse economies but... we could at least wring our hands together and breath a sigh of relief when the next cooling event came along...

until it started getting cold for a few years in a row of course... then we would have to wring our hands and tear our hair and rend our garments in agony again over "man made global cooling"   offer up some sacrafices to the gods of science and politics....

Hello my dear fellows ;)

Tell you what. I watched the Gore movie! Finally.
Man made global warming = Swindle?

IMHO nope, and I realized that what I have stated so far is a bunch of understatements compared to Gore. While sticking to my own conclusions, he still added some interesting facts to the equation that I suspected, but didn't know of. The two that stick out are these:

1: CO2 emission from forests being burned down are 30% of the whole.
2: The Antarctica is actually knocking off incredibly big bits at a very high rate.

While I suspected no1, no2 got me shocked.

And this one:
"yep... I would agree with the hand wringers if they simply said that we didn't have to ban anything and that the free market would take care of the "problem"."

This describes a narrow mind. Which "free" market? Has the "free" market taken care of many problems that were stopped with force? Name some.
IMHO the free market will not take any initiative while the cow is milking. However, when guided by the cirkumstances (i.e. fossil fuel is waaaayyy tooo expensive), the free market improvises and responds formidably fast.
The frew market is the crewmember, not the captain, and right now the ship is sinking while those two fight about who's boss.

none of that made any sense..  

What did you think of the parade of world renown scientists that algore brought into his documentary to explain just exactly how soon we would all fry in our own co2?

Were you dazzled by his prophesy of the extreme hurricane season we would see in the year after his movie?   Were you a tiny bit confused when it was the mildest in recent history?

How do you explain that at the hight of industrial age... 1940-1974 say... we had a radical drop in temp?   We went into a recession and the temp went up?

ITS THE SUN STUPID

Did you watch the "swindle" movie?   no excuse not to... it is on youtube for free and complete...  you should be able to relax if you do... real experts explain the real reasons for all your concerns...

Good news is... we should start to see a global cooling in a couple of years according to typical cycles of these minor heating and cooling cycles of which... we are going through a minor heating cycle.

When it starts to cool will you give it a rest and let us live our lives?

So lazs, Gore is full of it, the scientists that agree with Gore are full of it, the EPA are full of it, everyone who thinks that GW is an issue are full of it.

What we all need to do is sit back and watch one show (which has already been shown to have credibility issues) and everyone can relax.  All is fine.

That is STUPID ....STUPID!

im all for keeping an open mind about GW...  what turns me off is the politicization of the issue... and statements like "the debate about global warming is over."  


 how does a person give ANY credence to someone who looks you in the eye and tells you the debate is over when its raging all around you, with credentialed scientists on both sides?  and a politician no less....

 Don't disagree with this at all.  You would have to admit that the exact same applies to the other end of the spectrum though.  It turns me off completely for the whole debate to boil down to "It's the sun stupid" and then to dismiss it out of hand.

 how does a person give ANY credence to someone who looks you in the eye and tells you the debate is over when its raging all around you, with credentialed scientists on both sides?  and a politician no less....

 I agree.   It applies equally to the extreme sides of the debate.

in the meantime, Curval, another intense hurricane season is predicted, and June is just around the corner.  im dreading this.  i hope it fizzles out just like last year.

Well Lazs, not so long ago you were saying that global warming "wasn't happening". Now you're saying it is happening and is caused by the sun. Well, that's progress I suppose. Of a sort.

I've seen that, but as you say they said the same thing last year and we had one very very weak one.

The insurance companies had record profits last year....hmmmm.  ;)

Politicians have no interest in doing nothing (no money in it and no extra power). Doing "something" on the other hand, brings them both.

"Something" is of course irrelevant. Why don't we federalize all gardeners and car mechanics, for example. It worked for the airline security, didn't it. They've created a panic, argued that only federal employees can provide security, and then hired all those incompetent, private agents, gave them a new fancy shirt and a badge, and guess what... all those incompetent boobs became competent and skilled over night.

I'm guessing it was a win-win, since I bet they "federal" now employees got some benies as well.
