Hybrids, not as good a move as you think
Before you go out and buy a hybrid you may want to look into turning your current vehicle into a hybrid. In recent years many advances have been made towards using hydrogen in conventional gas burning engines. While some ideas seem to have been made by crack pot hippies or your neighbor experimenting in his garage some ideas will actually work. ...

Re: Let's not pretend to be climatologists
Sanjait: But they are clear, they do believe warming is occuring and human greenhouse gases are the primary cause. What the rest of us choose to do with that information is up in the air, but I'm getting tired of all the amatuer analysis that only seems to support inaction in the face of what the experts are telling us is possibly a very ...

Re: the actual temperature record contradicts you, green lan
FordTruck5Speed: Frankly, though, it's not the climatologists I'm worried about. It's the politicians and green Nazis that are out there telling me to walk 25 miles to work and keep the thermostat at 50 degrees. Like this guy? ''We not only have the technical capability to phase out fossil fuels over the course of 30 years, we can ...

Re: the actual temperature record contradicts you, green lan
FordTruck5Speed: Everything with you leftists is a ''canard'' if it refutes your position. You missed my point entirely. The DDT ban was based on junk science that was proven false. I don't care who still uses it today, Of course, the fact that it is still used widely today has no relevance to your deep b elief that it is banned, i can see ...

Re: the actual temperature record contradicts you, green lan
FordTruck5Speed: I've also talked about who benefits from top-down carbon dioxide regulation. Globalist organization like the UN stands to gain power and 3rd world governments get a paycheck. How? Well, it's simple. Sign on to some cock-eyed treaty with the UN and you can wind up paying a UN tax (which has already been proposed) or penalty ...

Re: the actual temperature record contradicts you, green lan
bmgreene: Also, the last I heard, they have yet to come up with a computer climate model which shows any decent corelation with known historical data when run backwards in time. backwards in time? causality doesn't work that way. you can't model the racked balls at the beginning of a billiard game by modeling the shots backwards. but you ...

Re: Balmy 59 Degrees?
San: Hey dumbass - There is no average surface temperature. There never was an average surface temperature. There never can be an average surface temperature. And its not 59 degrees. Never heard of an ''axis'' and ''seasons''? NO REAL CLIMATOLOGIST uses ''average surface ...

Re: Let's not pretend to be climatologists
San: ''he IPCC report states'' And hundreds of scientists have said that they were wrong for signing it, and even more said that their signing of it did not support any idea for global warming or the rest. ? you mean that list of ''skeptics'' from Inhofe, which he qualifies a priori by saying that many of the scientists on the list won't ...

Re: CO2 and H2O
San: ''No, by decades I mean decades.'' Then you are a retard who never took an environmental science course. So.... why is the CO2 in the atmosphere accumulating, then? Why is it 30% higher now than 100 years ago? Aren't the trees doing their part? Do they need to be instructed as to their proper behavior? Is this one of those ''I ...

Re: CO2 and H2O
San: ''And no, trees don't tend to grow more when there is more CO2'' And Duke university seems to think quite differently, seeing as how they had a large research school devoted to CO2 levels and trees, and have proven it to be the case. Yes, they certainly do: ''But both scientists cautioned that such a high sustained uptake is actually ...
