Now I’m confused. I thought Canada’s was the health care system we glorify and are wanting to institute here in the US. What’s all this talk about a crisis?
Anyone who thinks global warming and it’s associated theft known as “cap & trade” is legitimate is a complete idiot.
Folks, NONE of it is due to "anthropogenic" causes. The earth is a HUGE heat sink, and the little bit of heat energy released by human activity, or any amount of heat captured by "excessive" carbon dioxide, shrinks to insignificance compared to the heat-retention power of a very common substance, water vapor. Water vapor, as clouds, REFLECTS away more solar heat than all the human sources of heat that can be generated on the entire planet, and it is done with absolutely no degree of control by any human agency.
Raising the water temperature even a fraction of a degree, involves the absorption of a VAST number of kilocalories of heat energy, and almost all of it is dissipated immediately by the conversion of water to water vapor, which rises to extreme heights in the atmosphere, and radiates off all its latent heat to become an ice crystal. These ice crystals float in the upper atmosphere, forming the very high cirrus clouds. Descending from these heights, the ice takes up more heat from the surrounding atmosphere, as it melts and becomes rain droplets.
Water vapor is from some twenty to over 100 times as potent a "greenhouse gas" as carbon dioxide could ever be. And it would be totally pointless to regulate water vapor.
Air Composition
The sea-level composition of air (in percent by volume at the temperature of 15̊C and the pressure of 101325 Pa) is given below.
Name-Symbol-Percent by Volume
Nitrogen-N2-78.084 %
Oxygen-O2-20.9476 %
Argon-Ar-0.934 %
Carbon
Dioxide-CO2-0.0384 %
Neon-Ne-0.001818 %
Methane-CH4-0.0002 %
Helium-He-0.000524 %
Krypton-Kr-0.000114 %
Hydrogen-H2-0.00005 %
Xenon-Xe-0.0000087 %
Water vapor is a highly variable component of the atmosphere, ranging from less than 1% to more than 4% of the volume of a given amount of air, and is expressed as "relative humidity".

Ah yes, killing people for an imaginary solution to an imaginary problem.
bttt
makes sense to me. whats the problem?
What effin crap. Soon they won’t run X-Ray machines because it eats up too much electricity. China and India are laughing at these dumb sh!ts and their global warming paranoia
Global warming = white guilt
And genuflection to every crappy impoverished 3rd world nation.
We are guilty!
We are guilty of prosperity!
We are guilty for driving cars, having refrigerators, for using washing machines, having hot and cold running water and modern sanitation so we are not disease ridden
And here Obama’s pushing carbon regulation AND health care “reform.” Guess I may end up dying on behalf of the environment, thanks to the future health insurance system of the USSA.
Global Warming on Free Republic
Global Warming PING!
Don’t feel like doing the fancy DOOMAGE graphic over again. See #21 for the usual links.
thanks, bfl
