Myth: Humans are the primary cause for Global Warming.
Myth: If we conserve energy and decrease our carbon emissions, we will reverse or stop Global Warming.
Myth: We (human beings) have the power to alter the global temperature of the earth.
Myth: Having children is hazardous to the environment and selfish.
Myth: Carbon Credits will offset human pollution.
Fact: The earth has been changing temperature, long before we started driving SUVs.
Fact: China is not going to slow their economic growth or stop building a new coal plant every other day, because of a bunch of environmentalist whackos and Al Gore are trying to convince the world that being human is something we should feel guilty about.
Fact: As more and more people buy into the its my fault, because Im a human attitude about the Earths decision to change its temperature, the more susceptible we all are to being taxed for something where we ultimately have no real control.
Fact: The only way to truly reduce the worlds carbon output is through new technology, not mandates and certainly not global taxes.
Fact: The earth has warmed approximately 0.7 degrees Celsius.
Questions: What is the actual temperature of the planet supposed to be? Whos to say that the temperature of the earth, 0.7 degrees Celsius ago, was the natural and ultimate temperature of the earth?
When I think of Global Warming, I am not one to panic. From what I have read, along with the evidence provided by the so called consensus in the Global Warming religion, the earth warming 0.7 degrees is not something that people need to be alarmed about or panic over. The earth does what it wants to do, when it wants to do it. The mindset that WE, mere human beings, can actually impact the Global Temperature of the Earth and that WE actually have the ability to destroy the planet is completely insane.
Recently released data from the National Climate Data Center shows that the earths ocean surface temperatures have actually plummeted over the last decade, and even in the last year alone the oceans surface temperature has dropped. Now, thats not to say that those temperatures cannot rise again over the next year or even drop down some more.
My point is that this new religion of Man-made Global Warming is a fraud. Im not arguing that the Global Warming isnt happening. In fact I would suggest that over the course of the earths existence the earth has both warmed and cooled, but not as a result of human activity. Also, who determines that because the earth is warming that this is a catastrophe? What is the optimum temperature of the earth? The earth has and always will continue to go through warming and cooling phases. Whether people are driving cars, using electricity, burning oil in their back yards for the hell of it, or living in caves... the temperature changes are still going to happen.
This whole global warming hoax has really gotten out of control. Its to the point that now that there are discussions of Global taxes. Im talking about a global organization imposing taxes on leading nations (mainly the U.S) to offset carbon emissions. I imagine theyll call it a fee rather than a tax. Im sure it wont stop there, well likely see global fines that the irrelevant organization will be given authority to issue these fines to nations, businesses, and individuals for crimes against the environment (of course the laws and standards will be determined by the irrelevant global organization).
What exactly is offsetting carbon emissions? Allowing me to pollute a certain amount every year, I pay you $x amount of dollars, and you take that money and go plant trees somewhere in the Amazon Rain Forrest and somehow that offsets the pollution I created? Right
Im sure thats how it will work exactly. All the while countries like China who havent been indoctrinated into this global religion tell you that your organization and its theories are irrelevant. While you plant $5 worth of trees in the Amazon, the Chinese build a new coal plant every other day completely reversing any efforts that these do-gooders think theyre doing.
Carbon credits, bah humbug! You know why so many people are buying into the global warming religion? Because its something that they can participate in, with little effort (buying a florescent light bulb for example), and feel good about themselves; Im making a difference, Im doing something to stop global warming. What are you doing!?!? or Why arent you driving a Prius?!?!?!. Because I dont like Priuss!
I prefer to move forward, not backwards. These people (the extreme environmentalists) want us living back in the Stone Age, because humans are natures worst enemy. To them, humans are nothing but pollution. There was a story the other day, a woman claims that having a child is the most selfish thing you can do. She decided to get sterilized because having a child would not only be selfish, but its the worst thing a person can do for the environment. Apparently folks, were not natural. We only pollute the planet. If there were only no humans, the earth would be perfect. Absurdity has never been so obvious. Having a child is probably the most self-less thing a person can do. Its perfectly ok to have children, in fact God encourages it.
Human beings strive to make the earth a better, more comfortable, and cleaner place every day. Compare every past century to the next succeeding century and youll find human beings finding new ways to live more comfortably, advancing technologically, and living in a cleaner environment. One hundred years ago the streets were covered in and ranked of horse dung, man got sick of the smell and invented the automobile. Our lives and environment are insanely more clean, convenient, and more sanitary than in any other time in our history. You know what else? Its only going to get better as we continue to advance.
Energy conservation is not the way to stop global warming. Energy conservation is a way to make the United States of America a 3rd world country. We need to use as much energy as we need to use to continue growing. We need to continue to be the worlds leader in technological advances. We need to conduct our own energy exploration. We need to continue to be the Super-Power of the world. You dont accomplish any of this through energy conservation. If we continue to fall into this global warming trap, and thats exactly what it is, were going to find ourselves lagging far behind. I dont feel bad, depressed, upset, hurt, worried, or guilty because Im a human being and neither should you. We do a lot more good for the planet than we do damage. If the energy is available, I can afford it, and I need it Im going to use it. I dont feel guilty because I use electricity to light my house, I dont feel guilty because I use gasoline to drive to work, and I dont feel guilty because I breathe in and then exhale carbon dioxide! And I certainly dont need someone collecting money from me to go plant trees to try and offset my daily activities. If new technology forces us to be more energy efficient and environmentally clean (and it will folks) then so be it, but government mandates on florescent light bulb usage, doesnt amount to anything as far as carbon emission outputs go (sorry Australia
).
The Point of the Story: The temperature of the earth is just as perfect today as it was 500, or even 5,000 years ago. The temperature continues to change whether man lives in mansions or hes hunting with clubs and living in caves. Were giving ourselves much more credit than we deserve to say that human beings can influence the planets temperature as a result of our technological advancement. This is not only arrogant but its completely absurd.
This holiday season have a great time with your family and friends, put up as many lights as you want and dont mind paying the light bill for, and throw a few extra logs onto the carbon dioxide producing fire, its going to be a great Christmas and prosperous new year folks!

Ping me if you find one I've missed.
Um....
Too late.
LOL.
Although I've been pointing out for over a year on here that the SUN is responsible for climate changes... even providing expert advice from the one and only Richard Lindzen, MIT, who was the first scientist to step up to the plate and diss that psycho Al Gore.
Suppose the global alarmists were right (gag) exactly who would be collecting the global taxes??? the corrupt UN...
9/12/01 should have been the day the UN and all its diplomats were expelled from the USA....
I'd like to see them expelled now --> for trying to extort money by lying to the global community
And deport Al Gore... pronto
I love that question. Kind of brings it right to the heart of the matter.
Good read, I am glad that half of Americans are not deluded by the global freakouts who would have everyone but themselves, of course, cold and shivering and wet and hot and suffering while they attend their liberal wacko parties and pretend they are a better people, Marie Anntonate types who live in la la land and dis the whold world in pursuit of their greed and pleasure.
The global warming crowd make the communists and islamic terrorist seem sane.
That it changed 0.7 degrees is meaningless unless this problem can be fixed first.
Anyone worse his Fantastic Four salt knows the earth is but an organic element in the vast cosmic ocean. Therefore should she fall in disrepair, you can bet she’ll weaken and be less hospitable to her population of antibiotic organism scurrying around like various forms of bacteria and spores. Worlds within worlds was the issue cover title I believe.
Medical science is onto the fact viruses and cancer cells don’t like heat. The practice of putting a cancer patient in a coma and raising their temp to like 104 while injecting the Chemo supercharges the effect. The earth heats and some of it’s organisms will die as well.
Seriously, why wouldn’t it be reasonable to expect more wet weather as a result of more water vapor being released in the atmosphere along with it being introduced into the oceans when the caps melt? If there’s more water vapor won’t there be more precip? And won’t that cause the earth to, tada!, cool down? Intuitive hypothesis.
Everything you need to debunk “man-made” global warming you learned in fifth grade science class:
* 2/3rds of the earth is cover with what? water.
* when water heats it does what? evaporates into the air.
* when water cools in the atmosphere, it forms what? clouds.
* when clouds sufficiently cool, they do what? rain.
* the rain then replenishes the 2/3rds of the earth covered with what? water.
IOW, God has provided a natural air-conditioning system to regulate the temperature of the planet and keep it inhabitable. If the earth heats up, it will mean more evaporation, more clouds, more rain and the earth will cool itself.
What you drive or what light bulbs you use won’t make the tiniest difference in the earth’s temperature and it is foolishness to think man is capable of doing so, short of engaging in nuclear war.
Knocking down the hoax is so elementary, it amazes me how many people fall for this alarmism.
“There was a story the other day, a woman claims that having a child is the most selfish thing you can do. She decided to get sterilized because having a child would not only be selfish, but its the worst thing a person can do for the environment.”
A dying bread? Thank you.
Would that be white or whole wheat?
One other thing that seems to have been forgoten - the earth is essentially a closed system. All that carbon is already here. It isn’t anything new, it isn’t anything being added to the system. It is released into the atmosphere and then reabsorbed by the earth as it always has. Just part of the cycle.
For your consideration...
Not one penny in tribute.
DING DING DING!!!!! We have a WINNNNAAAAHHHHH!!!!!! Same thing goes for the hydro carbons we retrieve from the ground. all of that raw material HAS ALWAYS BEEN HERE!!! all we are doing is extracting it, refining it, combusting it back down into its component parts to be reabsorbed, and re formed into hydrocarbons...Oil is the most prefect renewable resource out there. The sheer volume and number of systems at work behind the scenes on this lovely planet the Lord gave us to SUBDUE and make our own is incredible. Im just sayin....
Welcome to FR Jason
The Earth has existed for 4,500,000,000 years, and has another 5,000,000,000 years to go before the Sun begins to encroach upon it. The Earth will do just fine with or without mankind, and Algore’s attempts to “save” it.
