I recognize the writing style. Steve Tabor is actually Baghdad Bob.

What tha ??
The Idiots are taking credit for doing something about GW ?
I think the “shivering in my Apt.” comment tells it all.
Denial turns into “Victory” with Zero Measurement, no Documentation, and no statistics.
You can’t Fix Stupid.

"The way that “carbon” is thrown around with such disregard for the fact that carbon is not manufactured out of thin air."

Well, um, yes it is, to be technical. In two ways, actually.

Let's get one thing out of the way, though. The burning of oil and coal does release carbon into the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide. Lots of it.

But your statement that "carbon is not manufactured out of thin air" is what I want to address. Carbon is extracted from a very thin residue of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by plants in a semi-magical process called photosynthesis. Now to me, that's getting carbon out of thin air.

However, to be again "technical", that isn't what I would call manufacturing it. It's a wonderful change, from rain, and sunlight, and "thin air", into cellulose, and wood fiber, and apple juice, but it's really only chemistry.

The actual "manufacture" of carbon comes about in the upper atmosphere, (the really thin air!), where nitrogen atoms are converted (by neutron capture as a result of high-energy photons) into carbon-14.

Now that is definitely an example of manufacturing carbon out of thin air.

Of course, all that said, that "carbon cycle" that I learned about in elementary school a few decades ago still actually works. I wonder if it ever gets mentioned anymore?

Global Warming is Over

Ok then, I need investors for my new business.

Just as soon as I find out what the opposite of "carbon credits" is.

Is this a JOKE or is he actually serious? If he is serious, he is a complete idiot like Harry Reid!

“Who do I send a check to so we can avert disaster? WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!”
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Well, judging from all of history we surely are all gonna die. As for averting disaster, in the short term it would seem to be impossible. In the long term it would require that Americans come back to their senses and realize that worship of a man named by Louis Farrakhan as a messiah does not repeal the laws of nature. The mad hatter’s tea party will seem like comparative sanity in the meantime. I told my wife today that we need to spend some time where people still have a little sense, she asked me where I wanted to go and I replied, “To the insane asylum”.

I ran your post through my highly sophisticated BS grinder...the bearings seized and the engine exploded.

AndrewWalden says he's serious. I have no reason to doubt Andrew. See comment# 38 & 40.

That would be oxygen debits, or oxygen deficit. It's a breathtaking concept.

The opposite of credit is debit. Therefore the direct opposite of "carbon credits" would be "carbon deficits".

But, would a carbon deficit be the cause of "global cooling"? Or, is there any other substance which we can blame for "global cooling"?

Perhaps, "sun deficit"? How would it sound to be out there selling "sun deficits"?
