1 – Global Warming 2 – Climate Change 3 – Carbon Footprint 4- Oil Shortage

5 – United Nations’, and their “Committee’s of Concerned Scientists”.

Global Warming is a theory – it’s not a fact. Climate Change has been happening,and will continue as long as there is a climate. Carbon Footprint is what I’d like to leave on Al Gore’s front door (on at least ONE of his mansions).

Oil Shortage….they’ve been happening since the 1920’s. Do you think their something to do with money?

UN and their activities : A worthless bunch of self – professed “World Leaders”, who do nothing but posture and preen for the camera’s and each other. Most of the UN nations’ aren’t friendly to the USA, but this country gives them millions of dollars and a place to meet,security; and “Diplomatic Immunity”. I’m sure they are a trustworthy bunch….”Food for oil”?

If the UN provided an all – expense junket to a conference,Business – class airfare,gourmet meals,and a few speeches….to an ‘amenable’ group of Scientists….do you think the experts would sign a paper? Maybe accept some research money? Accept another invitation if they’re doing a bit of research?

At one time it was believed that the Sun rotated around the earth. Galileo was imprisoned for insisting that the Earth rotated around the Sun…The Fool! All Scientists,and Enlightened people (the ones in power) knew that it was a FACT that Galileo was wrong,he was a HERETIC!

The world is Flat “Fact” . Just a couple of examples of Science. I say,we should all be digging caves to live in….and paint the inside (With only environmentally acceptable coatings) GREEN.

Someone’s gonna make a lot of GREEN!

Remember,bicycles aren’t GREEN. They may be Greener than other modes of transportation,but compared to walking;they have a HUGE Carbon Footprint.They have rubber tires (oil),lubrication (oil) a seat cover (oil) a helmet (oil),and they’re made of steel (Coal). How toxic to the planet.

If people wouldn’t exercise,there would be an incredible decrease in their Carbon Dioxide Emissions. In fact, if we got rid of 80% of all people,this world would become more balanced…plenty of oil,less of a Carbon Footprint.

If you’re really worried about Carbon, plant a tree. Plant several trees.

I don’t know where you get the 3% number but I’m sure I could find numbers higher than that. Maybe if you only count the oil that is currently available for drilling and ignore the vast areas that are off limits it would be 3%. But that isn’t the point. The piont is that anything we can do to reduce importing oil from other countries, especially those that want to destory us, will help our country. And if we would have gone after the oil in ANWR ten years ago we would be better off today.

I’m all for finding other fuels we could produce to lessen our dependence on oil. I think we should be encouraging companies to invest in nuclear power and hydro power as these technologies are presently available. I also think oil derived from algea shows promise if we can get the cost down. I don’t think the money for these projects should come from the government as that is not how capitalism system works. The only help the government should lend to the private sector are tax incentives to develope the technologies and build the facilities. Doing so would have the added benefit of providing jobs to the economy.

As for global warming, I haven’t bought off on that yet. To do so would require me to ignore the evidence to the contary. I believe there are scientists on the side of global warming that have too much invested in the theory ever be honest about the subject and therefore I question their creditablity. The scientists that are speaking out against the global warming theory are being ridiculed and even condemned by the people promoting the theory. People willing to risk that kind treatment should at least be heard, in my opinion.

So, in the words of our now famous govenor from Alaska, Drill Baby Drill!

If the oil companies were allowed to go after the oil and given the proper incentives to do so, we could have oil flowing out of ANWR in a couple years. The amount of oil we pump from ANWR would help this country lower the amount of oil we are buying from people that don’t like us.

Furthermore, opening ANWR would provide good paying jobs at a time thay are needed by people in this country that are hurting. People from all over the country travel to the North Slope of Alaska to work so the added jobs would not only help Alaskans.

Finally, the companies operating on the North Slope spend millions each year to protect the environment and are carefully watched by state and federal agencies. If an oil spill happens, and they do, teams of people contain and clean up the spill as soon as possibile.

SINGAPORE (Reuters) – Global carbon emissions rose rapidly in 2007, an annual study says, with developing nations such as China and India now producing more than half of mankind’s output of carbon dioxide, the main gas blamed for global warming.

The Global Carbon Project said in its report carbon dioxide emissions from mankind are growing about four times faster since 2000 than during the 1990s, despite efforts by a number of nations to rein in emissions under the Kyoto Protocol.

Emissions from burning fossil fuels was a major contributor to the increase, the authors said in their “Global Carbon Project (2008) Carbon budget and trends 2007″ report (http://www.globalcarbonproject.org/carbontrends/index_new.htm).

India would soon overtake Russia to become the world’s third largest CO2 emitter, it says.

“What we are talking about now for the first time is that the absolute value of all emissions going into the atmosphere every year are bigger coming from less developing countries than the developed world,” said the project’s Australia-based executive director Pep Canadell.

“The other thing we confirm is that China is indeed now the top emitter,” he told Reuters, adding that China alone accounted for 60 percent of all growth in emissions. The United States was the second largest emitter.

The project is supported by the International Council for Science, the umbrella body for all national academies of science.”

That’s pretty strong. You can read the entire article at http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE48O3KZ20080925.

1. Any global warming is caused by man nor can it be stopped by man.

2. Do we know what the “perfect” temperature should be?

Others have gone into many of the arguments. Just call me skeptic that uses biodiesel, wind turbines, and solar panels for reasons other than GW.
