American Bazaar ^ | October 2, 2016 | (AB Wire)

Hydropower has always been touted as a clean source of generating electricity, despite of the facts that it displaces thousands of people from their natural abodes, destroys their lives and livelihoods and submerges huge amounts of lands and forests.

Now, a new study claims that it is also accelerating global warming. […]

The study is done by Washington State University the has found that during times of drawdown — a period in which the water level behind a dam is rapidly lowered — temperate reservoirs can produce up 20 times more methane than normal. …

But “wetlands” are good, and virtuous, and “perfect” environments.

And breed mosquitoes like all hell breaks loose!

At this point, even a return to horses would of course aggravate “global warming”. They would just use the same context as cow flatulence.

Like coffee.

One article says coffee is good for you. With examples.

Another article says coffee is no good for you.

The sudden preponderance of “coffee is (suddenly) good” articles made me wonder right from their first appearance, which coincided with Obama taking power IIRC.

When Greenies stop using cell phones, and begin living in teepees, I might pay some scant attention to them.

Until they live entirely ‘off the grid’, they’re just a bunch of hypocrites.

I got a much better solution to them, but if I posted it, I would like be banned from FR. Let’s just say we’d never hear from them ever again and leave it at that.

And, of course, there is breathing. That is a proven contributor to increased CO2 in the atmosphere.

Liberals and elites, let me cut through the bs. You want us peons to live like we did in the 700s, right?

Let me say this, 'Hell, no. I won't live as people did in the 700s.' Did I make myself clear, elites?

However environmentalist whackos and politicians flying private jets to green energy meetings, riding in caravans of limos and SUVs and living in energy hogging mansions have no effect on the environment.

Just shut down all electrical power to Washington State University; when they complain tell them that every kilowatt they use causes more water to flow through the turbines.
Explain to them that less water through the turbines equals less draw down on the reservoir, less draw down on the reservoir equals less methane gas into the atmosphere.
Aren’t they glad that they could contribute to the resolution of the global warming problem?

In the future, please spell “liberalism” this way: “LIEberalism.”

LIEberal captures these folks in a far more evocative manner, don’t you think?

Since LIEberals LIE, we should accommodate them, don’t you think?
