[Mr. Mojo]

.....plan to take to the streets Saturday across the United States and beyond,

In the snow, many of them.

[Diver Dave]

I'm tired of all this bad news about global warming and now threats of a new ice age. Woe is us!

But the good news is I saved a bunch of money switching to Geico

[Abathar]

great book!

[nativesoutherner]

All Right!! I'm gonna celebrate by burning a pile of old tires!!!

[Dallas59]

I'm washing my truck that day...won't be able attend...

[rock58seg]

Someone should hand out Michael Crichton's book State of Fear and try to get some common sense into their mush heads. Really great book, debunks enviro's with understandable footnotes. Just finished it last night.

[Tzimisce]

Meanwhile across town, scientists are worried about a "mini ice age" that is about to occur in Europe.

IT'S ALL FEMA'S FAULT!!!

[rock58seg]

Funniest part is that we, who are not signatories, are closer to the Kyoto objectives than any of the other industrialized signatories.

[harrowup]

Counter-productive when all that hot air is exhaled in the same place at the same time...

...will cause a wobble in the jet stream sending the artic air back to the artic and freeze Santa's butt before he can take off in...

JUST 24 SQUARED SHOPPING HOURS LEFT UNTIL CHRISTMAS and Chanuka and Kwanza.

By the way, the EPA has warned against lighting your holiday Candles next to your holiday Tree

especially...

...if you have wrapped a colorful holiday Gift hand made in Zaire.

[Nakota]

Wonder if they will play Buster Poindexter's one hit wonder "Hot, Hot, Hot"?

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

They should knock it off. If we're really at the end of one of the interglacial periods, like some people say, then we're gonna need all the extra CO2 we can get to mitigate the coming ice age. Burn, baby, burn!

[Mike Darancette]

Save the Universe.

[goalinestan]

I'm not going if it's too hot out.

[randog]

"This is not just an environmental issue; it's a survival issue," said Ted Glick...

I wonder how many children (evil polluters/planet killers) Ted has added to the problem?

[mewzilla]

Wonder how folks will get to the rallies? Horse cart?

And wouldn't they do better to stay home, cause if they go, won't they be contributing to global warming?

[cogitator]

The CO2 and Climate Site is defunct, and the link to the Svalbard temperatures isn't working.

I haven't heard back from you on the other thread. I'm prepared to continue addressing Singer, or any other link that you want me to.

[TChris]

I haven't heard back from you on the other thread. I'm prepared to continue addressing Singer, or any other link that you want me to.

I'll need to spend the time to do the homework. Your answers deserve serious responses.

[cogitator]

Your answers deserve serious responses.

No problem. There is much to discuss.

(That pretty much eliminates everything except fuel cell cars that run solely on hydrogen and nuclear-powered submarines.) Human-powered transportation doesn't qualify, of course. But the exercise should put things in perspective regarding the relationship between energy and emissions.

Building fuel cells requires LOTS of energy, i.e. CO2 is produced!

I find it odd that a brigade of hybrids will drive around the whitehouse. Why not sit, walk, ride a bicycle? Hybrids still emit CO2. Furthermore, I drive an SUV, but most places I walk to. I love to point out to these kooks who preach about their cars (anything besides an SUV or truck), yet they drive much much more than I do. When I offer to sit down and figure out how much fuel each of us consumes over a year, they usually just grovel then continue on with their stupid rhetoric the next day.
