“”Perhaps the Pope has finally realized that they are simply trying to crate a new competitve religion.””
Should be:
Perhaps the Pope has finally realized that they are simply trying to create a new competitve religion.
No, it isn't. Saying it's so doesn't make it so...........
All this global warming is nothing more than a marketing scam to sell new products and movies.
You said “crate”? Cargo cult? Plausible.
What I can’t figure out is whether the carbon trading industry came as people capitalized on the existing fear and guilt or if they helped establish the scam.
“”You said “crate”? Cargo cult? Plausible.””
Naw, just a typo. I hate using these newfangled keeboreds.
What does that do in the meantime? Drive oil prices up and put a "new value" on cheap commodities like wind, solar and corn.
“”Drive oil prices up and put a “new value” on cheap commodities like wind, solar and corn.””
One of the problems that the new renewables industries are beginning to face is that high oil prices are limiting how fast they can implement renewables. the reality is that is takes a lot of oil to mine the ores and transport them to factories that build the “renewable” sources of energy. As the price of oil has skyrockets (from ~$20 per barrel in 1999 to ~$90 per barrel today) the cost to build windfarms, build solar facilities and grow the biofuels has also skyrocketted.
They need to realize that cheap oil makes it a lot easier to build their renewable energy infrastructure but...unfortunately, they have the cart before the horse.

It is so refreshing to hear Benedict XVI speak out against the anti-human and unscientific environmentalist movement. Environmentalists expect everyone to accept all of their claims even though there isn't any real empirical evidence supporting them. Just because two things are happening at the same time, in this case a rise in carbon emissions and a rise in temperature, does not mean that one is the cause of the other. While there is some empirical evidence that suggests that the climate is getting slightly warmer--and I don't know how conclusive that evidence is--there is no empirical evidence that shows that carbon emissions are the cause of this increase. Environmentalists are just guessing that these emissions are causing global warming.
I would not be surprised at all if scientists one day discard the theory of global warming as having been nothing more than pseudo science like eugenics or phrenology.
Here goes...
"Humanity today is rightly concerned about the ecological balance of tomorrow,"Compare the pope's actual statement to the hysterical headline."It is important for assessments in this regard to be carried out prudently, in dialogue with experts and people of wisdom, uninhibited by ideological pressure to draw hasty conclusions, and above all with the aim of reaching agreement on a model of sustainable development capable of ensuring the well-being of all while respecting environmental balances.
"If the protection of the environment involves costs, they should be justly distributed, taking due account of the different levels of development of various countries and the need for solidarity with future generations.
"Prudence does not mean failing to accept responsibilities and postponing decisions; it means being committed to making joint decisions after pondering responsibly the road to be taken."
"agreement on a model of sustainable development capable of ensuring the well-being of all while respecting environmental balances"
"choose the path of dialogue rather than the path of unilateral decisions"
Isn’t a world famous Nobel Peace Prize recipient, in the business of selling carbon credits while being lauded as the father of the biggest scam since y2k far far bigger than the father of the internet scam.
BRILLIANT!!!
CLAPCLAPCLAP
Amen brother! Correlation is not causality...

If you havent seen Dennis Miller's latest standup special (All In)...check it out! He questions the accuracy of the temperatures recorded 100 years ago: "Excuse me for not trusting temperature figures from the year 1905. They're still sh***ing outside in the woods, but I'm supposed to believe they had a strangle hold on the Fahrenheit of the earth's magma. I'm sure that was an accurate reading."
Why do you say “finally”?
Just because he hasn’t held a press conference, an all star concert or a telethon about it - doesn’t mean he hasn’t already made this realization.
I’m glad he said this publicly.
Hopefully people will listen. A well formed PowerPoint Presentation does not a crisis make.
Pope Benedict XVI is RIGHT on! The dubious ideology of Gore and his minions has sullied science. Gore has decided to believe what he believes regardless of facts. His approach is kind of like a pagan religion. Like other Marxists he wants an ideal world to behave in a manner he has predetermined. His "scientific" supporters have a vested interest (like their paychecks) in human caused global warming. Our R&D money could be better spent on science and understanding of the real causes of climate change, like the Sun.
Ping
Has it been established which came first, C02 elevation or global temperature elevation. Chicken or the egg??
Whichever it was, we can rest assured that Rove was behind it...
