    Global Warming, the religion of the nuts

    Ok I think that we can do better and be a little more concern with the environment, mainly garbage, something called consumptionism and something called consumerism but recently, actually since the dems got control (sort of) of congress, the environmental nuts have come out of the wood work and support for all kinds of crazy things that seem to be taking shape within the democrat party.

    The new thing I have been reading about is the religion of Global Warming. No sh*t some people are thinking this is a religion and will start becoming like radical Muslims in defending their 'religion'.

    The blame game has stepped up a bit since Obama has said something about the need to get a grip on this problem.

    It seems that global warming has been blamed for all kinds of stuff, ranging from changes in weather patterns to changes in animal migration patterns.

    Lately global warming has been blamed for;
    Snow in Alaska
    Rain
    Cold weather
    Warm weather in Arizona
    Sunshine in Florida
    The Saints loss to the da Bears
    The Flu
    An increase in pit bull attacks
    Chickens gettng the flu
    The shortage of potato Vodka in Russia
    Flooding in India
    Rains in South East Asia
    A poor harvest of pasta in Tuscany
    Better wine from France
    Citrus canker
    Diana's car crash
    Everything happening in Somalia
    Sand fleas
    Fire ants in the south
    Dropped cell phone calls
    Cruise ship dysentery
    Teen smoking
    Fever blisters
    Slow elevators
    Elderly drivers running over people
    Hitler
    Stalin
    Henry Ford
    Britney’s break up
    Lindsey Lohan’s drunken state
    Ellen DeGeneres being Gay
    Air America's poor ratings
    Terrorism

    Yep terrorism, forget that most of the terrorism is Muslim based – the experts are now saying that global warming will expand terrorism soon unless we do something about it now.

    But going beyond this, Hans Blix, the former UN weapons inspector whom seem to got lost a lot in Iraq and claimed we were not giving Saddam enough time, said recently that Global Warming is more dangerous than Nuclear Weapons. OK? Let's see, one nuke going off can kill how many in how many seconds but no one has proven that we are yet dying off with global warming that takes decades.

    Think about this, what it the solution for the UN to fight Global Warming?

    It will be the same strategy that they have used in the past to fight other things - asking the UNITED STATES for more money to put down a black hole so they can do the work they need to do.

    Also think about this, what is the UN up to? A great number of real scientist are now saying that the Sun is getting warmer (so has Nasa research) hence the earth gets warmer in the process. Is it that the UN want more money to line their corrupt pockets with?

    Well back on topic…

    Global warming has been caused by the following (These are all found on the internet in hundreds of sites);
    President Bush releasing the trillions of gallons of CO2 from the United States CO2 reserves
    President Bush giving us tax breaks
    President Bush winning
    The conspiracy between Bush, Chaney and Rumsfeld to invent the internal combustion engine
    The bush administration having Dr. Rice as Secretary of State
    Chickens
    Cows Farting
    Meat
    Chickens again
    Worms
    Driving anything that is powered by the worst invention in the world, the Otto Cycle engine
    Lights
    Electricity
    Medicine
    AIDs
    Our invasion of the pasive country of Japan during WW2
    The internet (yes ALGORE's invention causes global warming because it takes electricity to run)
    Chickens farting (go figure but that is what this weird site had on it)

    The ‘scientist’ say that the world is warmer than it has been in centuries, sometimes even giving stats from 2000 BC and beyond but never EVER saying that this is speculation not proven facts.

    The politicians believe the ‘scientist’ who actually is funded by the politicians in many cases to confirm some crazy theories.

    Now we have a group of companies that have the nerve to ask the government to come up with solid policies on this issue but fail to say that they will take the lead and dump a portion of their revenue (and maybe reduce their salary in the process) to better their products to be environmentally ‘safe’. By the way here are a few of these companies and think about their products and how they affect the environment; Alcoa Inc., BP America Inc., DuPont Co., Caterpillar Inc., General Electric Co., and Duke Energy Corp. The only one on that list who has products that help is BP but don’t expect them to produce these products at little or no profit, they make a lot of money on their solar cells.

    So my take is that we live in a world that we have no control over some things, natural disasters and the environment. We can try to keep things clean, try to do better but there is only so much we as a people can do without going back to the 18 century. Government is not the solution, it is the people who can solve this problem by demanding better things.

    RE: Global Warming, the religion of the nuts

    Greg, don't you realize it's global warming that caused the gigantic ice storm across I-10 into Houston!!!!!!!!! On a serious note, what you said is correct and explained by two words in your subject, the nuts.

    RE: Global Warming, the religion of the nuts

    I live 45.138N latitude and 93.255W longitude. That puts me just northwest of Minneapolis, MN. Saturday morning it was -6 degrees. We had one other below zero morning this winter. Whenever we had snow it melted within a few days. Currently there is maybe 2 inches of snow cover. Another whimpy winter. So I'm all for global warming! I may even plant some citrus trees this spring. I encourage everyone to keep using aerosol hairspray and paint.

    FOR SALE: 9 h.p. 26 inch Craftsman snowblower with electric start. Like new condition. Low hours. Will deliver.

    I think I'll put on some shorts and walk my dog. Keep spraying!

    RE: Global Warming, the religion of the nuts

    Not to demoralize you Greg,but that ****ed liberal bunch out in Hollywood decided that Mr. Gore and his goofy little picture show was at least good enough for an OACAR NOMINATION!!
    Guess that puts him in the same boat as that know nothing, dim witted Mike Moore.Boy,are we a country of dummies or what!Who gave these guys the right to make these movies.In Mikes case,nobody.He did it himself.
    Thank God we have brilliant truckers or we would all be in deep dodo!

    RE: Global Warming, the religion of the nuts

    Tallcal,
    I can’t say either way about the movie but it absolutely amazes me that anyone in the movie industry could not do anything but support ALGORE and his movie because of the absolute guilt that they have working in an industry that is the most polluting, the most environmentally destructive of any industry. For the output of products that they produce, the resources used are, I heard, 15 to 1 above the next worst industry.

    I don’t think that his movie really made people think, I think that the high fuel prices really did the trick but I see that the dems will screw us too unless they get really smart and force some real help for the people to use things like Solar and wind. As for ALGORE I am wondering why if he was so concern about the environment what ever happened to his “reinventing” government and his paperwork reduction programs that were scrapped quickly (remember his little song and dance on the white house lawn with the fork lift with a stack of paper five feet high?) AND why didn’t he promote alternative fuels and power sources with serious tax breaks and other means to get us off of oil when he had the power to do so? ALGORE practice what you preach and expect us to do.

    As for dummy Moore, well I got to find the link to the article on how he screwed flint with some more of his promises. Don’t put to much faith in him, he is full of it.

    RE: Global Warming, the religion of the nuts

    Just to add to this...

    I think that Bush has done more in his last years than Clinton and ALGORE has done in regards to environmental issues.

    Sounds stupid but by rejecting Kyoto and then allowing the states to make more decisions with environmental issues has moved a lot of things forward. The EPA has the right to enforce its laws by supersede state laws but the administration has restrained them from doing so in a lot of cases, which has led to Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative and other programs that are ramping up.

    As a side note, if the administration would also take this approach with the invaders, we would have little problems with them. Just image the states deporting these people back where they belong without worrying about their ‘rights’ which tramples on ours. Oh by the way for those who didn’t hear, I understand that Tennessee wants to know why their National Guard troops did not fire and kill invaders who were armed but called the border patrol. It seems that this state is taking it seriously. I for one think that there should be a shoot to kill order given, especially with the Mexican military that cross into our country protecting the drug dealers.

    Back to the issue -

    One thing that has been taken hold and I think is wrong in a constitutional way is the issue of states and cities agreeing with or trying to ratify on the state/city level the Kyoto protocol. I understand the need for the restrictions to a point, we still live in the cleanest industrialized country in the world, but when cities and states start restricting things that now cross the line into more important areas, like property rights and such, the city and state will eventually suffer. Beside treaties and agreements are federal issues, not state issues.

    AND

    As I find ALGORE somewhat of a hypocrite, flying all over, using a lot of fuel and acting like an environmental God but telling me and you that it is my van, my Dodge ram, my suburban and my little C unit are the reason that we have a change in climate. I also find it amusing that he signed the Kyoto protocol in late 1998, two years before bush got elected but the administration did not present it to congress for ratification, WHY? I would think that he would be on the front lines with this, signing it meant that he backed it but not presenting it to congress for ratification is somewhat hypocritical – glad he didn’t become president.

    OH did you ever think that the movie served another purpose, to make him feel important again. I mean that regardless what you say about the election, the dems really didn’t back him and his own president cut his support short, very short. This was sad to see but maybe bill knew something we don’t, just maybe he didn’t believe that ALGORE was the right guy for the job?

    There could very well be global warming, but there has never been any proof that it comes from anything other than natural climatic changes.

    RE: Global Warming, the religion of the nuts

    SACRAMENTO, Calif. - How many people does it take to change a light bulb? In California, the answer could be a majority of the Legislature.

    I would have to ask, how many people in the California legislature does it take to make some sense?

    The electricity-wasting incandescent bulb would be banned — replaced by energy efficient compact fluorescents — under a bill that Assemblyman Lloyd Levine plans to introduce.

    Who is going to pay for this? I think that the state should pay for the lights and even kick in with LED lights for every car and truck on the road in California.

    He says the spiral light sources are so efficient that consumers should be forced to use them. The compact bulbs use one-fourth the electricity spent in an equivalent incandescent.

    Let’s force them to give up their cars, the SUV’s, cell phones and stop the film industry from making films.

    "Incandescent light bulbs were first developed almost 125 years ago, and since that time they have undergone no major modifications," said Levine, a Democrat from Los Angeles, said in a news release Tuesday. "It's time to take a step forward."

    Well in comparison, the modern democrat was invented in the 60’s and has not undergone any major modifications either, maybe we should outlaw modern democrat? Yes it is time to take a step forward – get rid of them, democrats that is.

    The bulb bill was not yet on the legislative calendar. Last year, the Legislature passed a Levine bill that requires large supermarkets to recycle plastic bags. Gov.
    Arnold Schwarzenegger signed that bill but has not taken a position on the light bulb proposal.

    I agree that we need to recycle plastic bags but I want to know why weren’t they outlawed either, it would make more sense to get rid of all bags using the same logic used with light bulbs.

    Assemblyman Jared Huffman, who represents San Rafael, is working on a similar bill.

    Critics say people should be allowed to make their own choices about which bulbs they buy, but Levine, who heads the Assembly's Utilities and Commerce Committee, points out that electric utilities give them away.

    I got to ask, where are these free lights? I would love to get free lights and got 14 feet of space I will use to take these light bulbs to Michigan to sell.
