Get em' Dirty!
Being in between all you wackos on both sides, I'd thought I'd throw some fuel to this fire :-)
Al Gore's slideshow that he based An Inconvenient Truth on...

LOL. 16 storms with 4-6 major?? When I started tracking these things, if NOAA would have come out with a prediction like that, that was considered a ROUGH season.Quote:

Lets keep things in perspective.
Here is my prediction. We will see 3 or 4 - Cat 4 or greater storms. Lets just hope none make landfall in the Gulf. Another big storm in S. La. would be DEVESTATING.
Yet another catastrophic, horrid, deadly, and otherwise downright evil global warming thingybopper

ha ha! i was listening to nerd radio the other day and they interviewed the scientist that led that study. she was talking about how SCARY it is that poison ivy is going to be growing faster and itchier! run for your lives! the ivy is coming!Quote:

As if the population of NYC, Boston, Altanta, Chicago, Los angeles, etc, are waking up every morning worried sick about the threat of poison ivy. But I agree, let's do a similar study on corn or soybeans.Quote:

Same CO State professor that gets in front of the media saying the same thing over and over. I wonder how much he gets paid under the table?
I saw an interesting show the other day on the Science channel. It told how in the early 1900's an idea was floated about burning as much coal as possible to warm the climate. The thought was so more land could be farmed.
Clyde, they even knew the effects of excess CO2 back then. They even had the faulty theory of a warmer climate being better so there would be more land to farm. I even think your CO St. professor was the one that mentioned how wonderful that would be in an article you posted a while back.
I've had a really bad week, so here is where I'm gonna go off:
I hope that regardless of your belief in Global Warming, that you believe that all the crap we put in the air is bad for the Earth. God's Earth. And since we are now so overpopulated on it, we are tasked with protecting it.
Now those on the other side who think that I am siding with you, think again. I'm tired of all the griping on the liberal side. You (mainly directed at Gore, clinton, etc) can bitch when you do something about it. I drive a small car and plant trees... I'm so tired of the hipocrisy on that side of the argument I could honestly hurt someone. Can a liberal even HAVE a conscience? I mean what's worse, not believing that there's a problem, or believing and not doing a DAMN THING ABOUT IT?!?
i certainly agree that we are tasked with protecting the earth. the rest of that statement i completely disagree with. i do not believe that the co2 and water vapor that we put into the atmosphere are bad for the earth. and God is not the direct ruler of the earth in its present form, either.Quote:

One of the best attributes of living in a rural setting is its high air quality compared to the huge Metro areas.Quote:
