In addition to calling global warming a hoax along with Richard Lindzen, MIT, in 2004, I know I'm right about the cottage industry of nonprofits that arose from the anti-smoking frenzy.
For example, do you know that a federal court ruled against the EPA about second hand smoke?
Do you futher know that in 2001, 2002, two, 35-year studies found no evidenced that second hand smoke causes cancer? (University of CA-Berkeley, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign)
Both the ruling against the EPA and the studies were ignored by the MSM because the American Cancer Society bitched about not being able to continue to collect money from the folks they worked into a frenzy over this issue.
Furthermore, Congress and the Senate are still going after smokers with taxes, bans, etc.
What's next for smokers --> internment camps?
Americans are a seriously guillable people and entirely too many of them lack common sense.
Also, notice that they never volunteer to lead the way? The 80% must come from anyone except them.
Siiiiiiiiigh, I had a good post, but thought it fodder for the DUmwits, so didn’t post it.
They forgot to mention the sanctions by the EPA on Gore for toxic runoff from the zinc mine on his property.
Ping.
I've been living on the east coast of Florida for 23 years and I've noticed the following:
The years we have normal afternoon thunderstorms during the summer we don't have a lot of hurricanes.
Several years that we did not have afternoon storms were the big hurricane years.
Totally unscientific. Just my observations.
It isn't just them. Mark Levin took a call last week from a man who was reading his book "Liberty and Tyranny" at Starbucks. He said a young lady with tattoos came up and started making disparaging remarks about the book and conservatives. She then dumped his coffee all over him and the book. Mark said it was assault and asked what was the outcome. The caller said she stormed off and Starbucks gave him a free coffee.
So far this summer I have not needed to use A/C in my house more for than a few days. Last summer I think I turned it on around June and left it on til Sept.
Thanks for using the tilde. :)
When I talk to people about “man-made global warming” (not climate change which is redundant), these are my strong points:
1. Global temperatures have gone down since 1998, roughly corresponding to a reduction in sunspots, which scientists, for years have associated with rising and lowering temperatures. When sunspots are up, it’s hot. When they’re down or there’s none, it’s cold, like now.
2. CO2 is essential for plant life, therefore indirectly essential for all life. CO2 is about .03 percent of the atmosphere. If it goes up a little, good! Crops will grow more abundantly! Most people remember this from elementary science in school. Trying to control CO2 is a bad idea.
Also, CO2 increases following a temperature rise, not before. The earth heats up naturally, and CO2 is driven from the oceans, not the other way around like Gore wants you to believe.
3. Gore’s “hockey-stick” graph showing world temperatures rising only in the last 100 or so years is an absolute hoax. There was a period of similar temperature rise roughly from 1000 AD to 1300, which Gore, et. al. left off the graph, because it was an “inconvenient truth”.
4. Because of the 1000AD global temperature rise, Scandanavians traveled to a place now called “Greenland”. Why did they call it that, when it seems to be covered in ice? Because, from 1000AD to 1300 it was green and they built farms there for 300 years. At the end, when the glaciers moved in they were forced out. Only the name remains. Does anyone believe that temperature rise was due to man’s industrial output?
5. Back in the 90’s, when there was a (naturally-ocurring) global warming, ice caps on the poles of Mars and other planets were observed to be melting in a corresponding way. Did our coal-fired power plants cause ice to melt on Mars?
I visited Pikes Peak about 12 years ago. On July 3rd, there were drifts quite a bit bigger than that...
GW is a total sham.
hurricanes of 05, including Katrina, was an attack on the US by foriegn powers...
No, it was an evil plan by the evil triumvirate of Bush-Cheney-Rove to put down poor black people! They even steered the hurricane right into New Orleans! RFK Jr. said so!
Just wait, that might actually appear in publik skool textbooks - ooops, silly me, kids can’t read anymore, so it will be repeatedly spewed by the indoctrinator, I mean teacher.
Global Warming is the perfect theory, because no matter what the weather is, it can always be blamed on Global Warming.
Now, send me some tax dollars to fix this problem.
Of course. You can't question the orthodoxy.
Be glad. People used to be killed for heresy. Now all that might happen is a moonbat will spill their latte on you.
Makes total sense. All a storm - be it a localized thunderstorm, or massive hurricane - accomplishes is the transfer of energy from one place to another.
If T-Storms "manage" the energy buildup, then it stands to reason that there's not enough to make a whopper of a hurricane.
That's a FAR FAR oversimplified viewpoint, but a sensible one nonetheless.
LOL sad but true. There one that works across the hall from me. Dec-Feb was much colder around here than normal. You guess his reasoning global warming.
The low resistance tires do work; over the course of ~5 years they deliver an extra 4,000 miles of gas saved for a cost savings of about $10 each year or 3 cents/day.
Yes, it is established now along the coast but El Nino’s typically are associated with fewer, weaker storms in the Atlantic.
