What's a person to do when the sky is falling? ;>)". . . current plans to restrict anthropogenic CO2 emissions are a dangerous misallocation of intellectual capital and resources that should be dedicated to solving humanity's real and serious problems. . . . there is no convincing evidence that CO2 missions from modern industrial activity has in the past, is now, or will in the future cause catastrophic climate change. . . . attempts by governments to inflict taxes and costly regulations on industry and individual citizens with the aim of reducing emissions of CO2 will pointlessly curtail the prosperity of the West and progress of developing nations without affecting climate. . . . adaptation as needed is massively more cost-effective than any attempted mitigation and that a focus on such mitigation will divert the attention and resources of governments away from addressing the real problems of their peoples. . . human-caused climate change is not a global crisis."--------------------------------------------------------
". . a proved correlation between temperature changes and carbon dioxide is almost nonexistent. Turns out that the sun has been quite active in the last half-century or so, hence the slight rise in global temperatures. Other factors in temperature changes include changes in the Earth's axis, in ocean currents and in the salinity of the Arctic Ocean. Volcanoes can also have a dramatic short-term impact on temperatures. But carbon dioxide? No way."
"I have learned since the Ice Age is coming scare in the 1970's to always be a skeptic about research. In the case of global warming, I didn't accept media accounts. Instead I read dozens of the scientific papers. I have talked with numerous scientists. I have studied. I have thought about it. I know I am correct when I assure you there is no run away climate change. The impact of humans on climate is not catastrophic. Our planet is not in peril. It is all a scam, the result of bad science."
Therefore, everyone must stop breathing.
I would ask the authors of this study to set the example and stop breathing first.
In the future the levels should rise by a 1/3. Probably within hours.
Well, I guess this explains the abundance of shows such as "Life After People." They intend to kill us all. Obviously, events like the eugenics, genocide, and Holocaust of the twentieth century were not enough for the Socialists.
Some people never learn because they are stuck on stupid (or possibly, evil).
Help us! Barack Obama. You’re our only hope!
How long until we have to invent stuff to suck the CO2 back out of the atmosphere? Other than trees....
The computers design the models, ya know. : )
This is our most desperate hour. Help up Arbor Day Foundation. Your my only hope.
I watched that show last night “Earth, Population Zero” and heard that outrageous quote that 19 pounds of CO2 are released for every gallon of gas burned. This is up from seventeen pounds in the movie, “Who Killed The Electric Car”. I need someone to explain to me so that I can understand, How do you burn EIGHT pounds of fuel, releasing all that heat energy, and end up with NINETEEN pounds of CO2?
I think all the liberal eco-alarmists need to take the intiative and lead by example on this issue with an immediate moratorium on exhaling.
Well, then, we need to get cracking on building enough nuke plants to replace 100% of our electrical grid capacity.
Craziest sh-t I ever heard of. All LIBS and RATS stop exhaling immediately? My pet rock is overloaded. HIC!
Be sure to read the section headed "FERTILIZATION OF PLANTS BY CO2".
Well... that sucks. I just bought a brand new CO2 tank for my beer kegging.
This is just to suck for the atmosphere I guess, since I’m not going to stop making beer.
Don’t we exhale a certain amount of CO2? Then that would mean we all should hold our breath’s .... or die .....???
Should anti-CO2 activists all cease breathing?
Now whose tax dollars are spent for these never ending studies? How much do the scientists make per year/grant for their studies. How important for them to come to some catostropic conclusion for the mindless greenies to jump on so the scientists can continue to find the ultimate solution. I know Al Gore is the king of con men but a lot of these scientists come in a close second.
In California, counties are being required to implement “smart growth” policies in the name of global warming. http://www.csac.counties.org/default.asp?id=1824
See AB 32 Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (Chapter 488, Statutes of 2006 - 1990 emission levels by 2020)
SB 97 requires guidelines for global warming impact analysis and mitigation in the CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act) analysis for proposed projects such as land use planning and transportation planning. Mitigations include requiring Green Building standards; mandated energy efficient upgrades on remodels; transit-oriented development policies (smart cluster growth); alternative fuel vehicle mandates for public agencies; cool roofs; solar generation; etc.
AG Jerry Brown has indicated that he will sue the Counties if they do not implement: http://ag.ca.gov/globalwarming/pdf/CSAC_Article_Jan2008.pdf
