Canabalism is your sides idea of a fun time.

If Al Gore is running for office he is keeping it very secret.

And frankly, you have no argument, just repeated lies which have been shown to be lies. I have no respect for liars, and you are one.

Did you know that Toyota plans on making all of their cars hybrid? The free market is responding to consumer demand as the technology is available. Government intervention is not needed. As a matter of fact, if Congress wants to vacation in Syria for the next few years, they’d be doing us all a favor.

Unfortunately, the nuclear nuts are responsible for the US building more coal power plants. Which are more damaging than the new fleet of vehicles rolling off the assembly lines. An estimated 200,000 people a year die of lung disease due to the radioactivity from coal power plants spewed into the air.

Don’t be an environmentalist for the “fad of the day” called global warming. Do it because you want clean air and water. Do it because you want to quit sending money to OPEC. Do it because you care about your kids.

If you hold up the Time magazine articles from 30 years ago warning about the coming ice age to today’s warning about global warming, it’s almost the same exact article using the exact same kinds of studies and theories. Just substitute the words “warming” for “cooling,” and there you go. With just as much certitude, too.

Global warming will wane in popularity once those using it for political reasons are done with it. When Al Gore is done running for office and when Sheryl Crow releases a comeback album, that’ll be it global warming. People will move on to something else that they perceive to be the crisis du jour as spoon fed to them by those trying to use it for personal gain.

And you’ll fall for it again. LOL.

Historically, Greenland got its name as part of what historians consider to have been the world’s first property scam. You see, Erick the Red wanted settlers to come to his frozen little rock, so he called it Greenland – despite the fact that it was, indeed, a frozen little rock.

Of course, those settlers all eventually died out due to malnutrition, and not having enough wood to build boats to get the heck off of the island. The current population of Greenland is from a later series of settlers.

Any other questions?

You are so full of sh*t!! It really is the strategy of you Repukes to lie as large as you possibly can and hope that someone actually buys it.

The IPCC has been debunked?! Don’t you think A LITTLE more facts and figures would be required to back up this outlandish claim? Can you tell us which parts of the 18 page report are suspect? … No, I didn’t think so. Please don’t just cut/paste from some Exxon-sponsored report.

The $400 Billion figure you mention is something you pulled from your ass. How about something as simple as raising the CAFE standards for our vehicles? How in the hell would that cost us money? If anything, it would SAVE us money and IMPROVE our economy. (Note: Exxon profits != good for the economy.)

Your conclusion to all of this can be summarized as ‘do nothing’. I’m sorry. I just can’t do that. That fits in fine with your selfish philosophy but not with mine.

You are a real scumbag. I hope they pay you well to post here. It’s a really shitty job!!

Tooodles…….

Since nobody wants to do that, any further discussion is as ridiculous as “using 1 piece of toilet tissue per sitting.”

Wow. I didn’t realize it was that simple. I thought it was a lot more complex than that, and that there were other paths we might take. How foolish I was! Thanks for explaining it to me, Mr. Wizard!

The majority of the scientists are “unsure.” They do not buy into the exaggerations of the global warming hysteria nuts.

In fact, everything you have written in thread is fabricated. You appear to be a sociopathic liar.

Verbalkint, who believes that Sheryl Crow, Spinal Tap, and Al Gore are scientists! LMAO!

I think that everyone here can see that these statements are both outright fabrications.

You aren’t a scientist.

As I’ve asked before, given that there is doubt, and that the potential danger is huge, don’t you think we should err on the side of caution?

$400 billion a year in estimated costs that YOU’D have to pay seems like quite an “erring” on the side of caution when it’s not warranted.

Even if we ASSUME global warming is this huge catastrophe, there is no evidence that man can do anything to stop it. The biggest impact we could have on CO2 emissions would be eliminating the burning of fossil fuels by closing down the coal power plants and building nuclear power plants.

Since nobody wants to do that, any further discussion is as ridiculous as “using 1 piece of toilet tissue per sitting.”

If more was done to support the UN Millennium Development Goals, there would certainly be a drastic difference in what this world will look like in ten years, as opposed to the path we are on now. According to the Borgen Project, just $19 billion annually can end starvation and malnutrition. Put into perspective, the US alone has spent over $340 billion on the Iraq war to bring peace and there has been no positive result. It’s ridiculous that Bush got to appoint Wolfowitz; it just undermines the entire deveopmental goals of the World Bank.

Okay you want to take me on.

Exxon. Mobile. BP. Opec. Sasol. These guys are both rich, and very threatened by the end of fossil fuels, so you tell me who is more likely to fight tooth and nail, and who has the bigger funds, somebody who is ultimately a volunteer run organisation which operates purely on donations – or somebody whose very business and wealth could go up in smoke if Global Warming is really proven to be a threat?

And you will have to do better then Calder, who is basically a science documentary writer, not an active researcher in the field of global warming, or for that matter his own ingrown toenail.

I must say my 10 year old could do a better job convincing us that a pair of academics has come onto this site to impart their scientific knowledge as professional scientists.

Could you at least tell us what university you two are from? Where did you and Rocky get your PhD? Surely, those are easy to answer questions that are easy to check.

BTW, it looks like you can’t even tell time. It’s 2:30 here on the west coast not lunch time.

If China doesn’t cooperate, we need to start by putting massive fines on all exports. These fines need to make Chinise goods cost more then anyone else’s goods. This would be a solid signal that the world is finally serious. India and Russia aren’t much different.

This is why America needs to get on the ball. We need to set reudction levels now so we can go after the largest polluters : CHINA, INDIA, and RUSSIA.

We may to be late already but we have to try. Hopefully the world alone with the USA are strong enough to force China to change or our chilred will have a serious problem.
