Trying to justify the new carbon rules. Maybe I should have put a barf alert on this.

This thing actually posted? It told me the page didn't exist when I hit post. Glad I waited or we would have 2.

Mr. Huang, noticed you were having trouble with it last night. Now I see why.

The three key ingrediants for life as we know it are carbon, water, and heat.

The wonderous creature known as man is increasing earth's abundance of all three, allowing for lush explosion of creation.

We rock.

Fossil (not even a good name for it) fuels will never be depleted.

Crude=2nd most abundant fluid on earth, being renewed & made by "Mutha Earth" everyday. Sorry to burst your overedumacated bubble head, Mr. & Mrs. Ex~spurt.

Preserving trees doesn't help much but growing more would take much more carbon out of the air.

There is not one iota of science in this article that burning fossil fuels causes signifigant increases in atmospheric CO2 levels.

Nor is there any science that indicates the increases that occured scince 1958 have any deleterious impact on the environment.

Speculating on the impact 10000 years hence, of conditions existing today, is not science, it's science fiction.

Each gallon of gasoline burned releases about 19.5 pounds of carbon dioxide, of which 5.3 pounds is carbon.

Um, no. Even if all 5.3lb of carbon in a gallon of gas was burned completely the resulting carbon dioxide would only be about 15lb. One gallon of gas weighs six pounds.

Great article:

Carbon Dioxide, the Staff of Life

Next: "Government Taxes Breathing." Large families hit the hardest.

"Other gases contribute to the effect as well, including methane, nitrous oxide and chemicals used for refrigeration and air conditioning, but CO2 is responsible for 84 percent of people's output."

Don't forget water vapor, which, we're told, accounts for over 90% of the "greenhouse gases" in the earth's atmosphere.

How do the enviro-nazis propose to curb water vapor emissions, hmmmmmmmmmm?

There is a way left liberal news media announcer on the radio in the morning with a one-hour show. I'm still not sure of his name, Dirk Van or something.

He is very outspoken, although he has been less vehemnt while Republicans have had some voice in Congress, but he smells blood this fall and he is letting it all hang out.

Today he said that there is global warming and that carbon dioxide is responsible. Also that if there is the slightest chance we can reduce the problem through regulating carbon dioxide production we have to do it.

Point is they haven't gone away, and they think they are coming back, soon.

Each gallon of gasoline burned releases about 19.5 pounds of carbon dioxide

a gallon of gasoline weighs about 8 pounds... it is impossible to release MORE mass from a substance than it contains to begin with... so if there are 19 pounds of carbon in a gallon of gasoline, it must be coming from somewhere else...

junk science.

You really should have put a big barf gigantic lie alert, particularly, on this part:

The math works like this: Each gallon of gasoline burned releases about 19.5 pounds of carbon dioxide, of which 5.3 pounds is carbon. California consumes 15 billion gallons of gasoline a year, according to the state Energy Commission, putting 79.5 billion pounds of carbon into the air."

This is really interesting, as a gallon of gasoline only weighs 6 lbs - and it puts out 19.5 lbs of co2?????
