You say global warming like its a bad thing.
Civilizations flourish during warm periods, and people starve in the cold ones.
globalwarming ping
TSR,
This is not just a “global warming ping”, but it is worth specifically highlighting it in your pings, because it gives a lot of specific facts and figures that people may want to bookmark.
Kaslin — thanks for posting this highly informative article.
Our “warming” was over in 2007. We are now entering a solar minimum.
A very basic question is at stake: Is the truth more powerful than a huge huge lie?
It's more complicated than that. The "civilizations" you cite were all in temperate latitudes. OTOH, the equatorial monsoons strengthen in warmer periods, but whether that is due to increased cosmic ray activity or temperature is uncertain (I'm on the sun spot side). Hence, I'm not disagreeing with you completely but cautioning against scientific claim by aphorism.
” The entire process is obviously detrimental to American lives, jobs, living standards, health and welfare. Yet it is being imposed in the name of preventing highly speculative “dangerous manmade climate change.” “
THIS is the objective of the Obama administration — to destroy the US by any means possible, and this is a good sounding excuse, but it really has nothing to do with concern about the planet.
As the article further states:
“That means any reductions in United States fossil fuel use or carbon dioxide emissions will be almost imperceptible amidst the world’s huge and rapidly increasing levels of both. “
Obama and other atheists: get on your knees and worship gaia, or else!

Unfortunately we already have the answer — Obama is the poster child of the answer.
Not only killing birds, but creating a lot of heat.
But that's OK with liberals, who also are not complaining about the mercury in the government-approved "curly lamps."
The same liberals who fawn over their Apple iPhone and BITCHED about the mercury in Apple's iSight camera.
The same liberals who BITCH about electrical generating windmills (also killing birds) being to close to THEIR places of residence and retreat.

A leftist told me back in 2008, “You just wait. The ice caps will be melted away by the end of this summer.”
This leftist felt like such a fool that he’s now an ANTI-leftist who is too right-wing for the GOP.
And after this winter, how many of them are wondering if they should have stuck with their “ice age” theory?
Space is a cold, cold place. Cooling is the easy job. Warning is the challenge. We are BLESSED with our warmth. FRegards .....
And flourescent lighting triggers headaches.
I volunteer to kill my catalytic converter on my cars to cut down on CO2. Just think how much less CO2 would be in the air if we made that small sacrifice.
Redundancy on steroids!
EPA -Government bureaucracy
Other government Agencies --Government bureaucracy
Various (unnamed) 'scientists' Educational bureaucracy
Not exactly the cream of the crop, generally.
Science idiots alert!
There may be may reasons to criticize this boondoggle, but 'creating' heat is not one of them.
Heat is converted, neither created nor destroyed.
Energy (okay, really mass/energy) is conserved. Heat is not. Visible light can be converted into thermal energy, creating heat out of energy which was not heat (just as, unlike divine creation in the beginning, all creation by human activity is creation out of something pre-existing) as is done at that facility, chemical energy can be used to create heat, as in a fire, and heat can be destroyed (as heat) by being converted into other forms of energy (as electricity).
I’m not sure whether the facility creates heat in the sense that the net amount of energy in the form of thermal energy in the area near it once it’s operational will be greater or less than when the sun simply hit the desert floor, but it plainly is turning a lot energy in the form of visible light into thermal energy (creating heat), and some of that thermal energy into electrical energy (destroying heat).
