Global Warming (OT) - Page 4

"You know, most of you are just spouting the rhetoric you've heard from politicians and other 'talking heads' who have an axed to grind, the same people who managed to convince you that buying huge gas-guzzlers was the patriotic thing to do. Most of you haven't a clue how global warming works."

HA that's laughable. I could say the same about those on the otherside and what they have picked up at liberal encrusted college. Some people, swear if it's in a book, it's gospel! Get a clue.

I'm fairly certain I bought my SUV for business and dog purposses not because someone told me it was the red, white and blue way or whispered politics in my ear. I need something that seats as many as possible for my daycare, something I can haul dogs in and something that can pull a trailer and is 4wheel drive. A mini van wasn't going to do all that. I'm not too frantic my gass guzzler is ruining the world. Most days I only put maybe 8 miles on it, dropping kids off and picking up at the local school just blocks form my house. Now if it was just me commuting 45 miles to Sac everyday in it, all for a status symbal, I'd be an asshole.

HA that's laughable. I could say the same about those on the otherside and what they have picked up at liberal encrusted college. Some people, swear if it's in a book, it's gosspel! Get a clue.

This from someone who can't even spell 'gospel'? You think ALL colleges and university are so biased that they flush hard science, hard facts down the toilet? Like you said, 'Get a clue'!  

LOL a typo nit wit. I type rather fast and have things going on around me, can't always re read my posts before I hit send. The options are still there, maybe another class will help with that!

I also know how to spell people but always screw that up in typing it "peopel". Sometime  the fingers are faster than my eyes. Guess that makes me an idiot twice.

All I can do is shake my head and sigh,

You all argue over nonsense and ignore what's real.

Can't you see with your own eye's without being told?

It's very sad,

SSDD.

Follow the money!   Most of the eggheads crying wolf are the same Universities and scientists that are collecting millions upon millions of our tax dollars to use and keeo their wallets fat!  The only sure way to keep those monies flowing in is to scare people and they do a good job of it!

DR, where'd you get your science degree? I got mine from University of Toronto, and one of the key people behind the acid rain studies had quit a well-paid position with the government, because he couldn't get anyone to listen or do anything about the problem. Meanwhile, Ontario lakes were dying. Some had nothing left alive in them but a several foot thick mat of fungus growing on the bottom. U of T was glad to hire him as a professor, and allow him to do further studies on the problem.

Studies done by U of T were instrumental in finding grasses that were tolerant of heavy metals which could be used to re-vegetate the old nickel mine tailings in Sudbury, Ontario, a landscape so barren that U.S. astronauts used it as a training site for their Apollo missions.

The botany and engineering departments were also funding a joint study on recovery of Arctic ecosystems from oil spills, so that when the idiots south of the border run out of cheap oil, and have to start tapping the supplies that are supposed to be in the high Arctic, at least there will be some information on how to clean up the inevitable spills...

My belief is the truth lies somewhere in the middle.  I remember a sociology study from a long time ago that basically said as societies become  wealthier,  they  become more aware of the planet as a whole and our possible impact on it's future.  Not because they are somehow  more enlightened, but because they have the luxury of time sine they are no longer consumed full time with finding the very basics neccessary for the mere survival of it's people. 

I think when we know better, we do better, even if it means the loss of a little comfort  (at least I hope so).  I know a lot of the things many of us do for the environment and as a matter of course, were considered  outrageous inconviences when first introduced in the 1970s.

At time's like this I just wanna go burn one and let it all go.

No use stressing out over what can't be changed.

Appreciate it while I can. If I can find something worth burning..LOL

2Moons are you a Pyro or a pot head, your always talking about matches and burning one?
