The Sky Is Falling! Or Is It?

its purveyors have an agenda that encompasses much more than environmental concerns.

And the agenda is.....emasculate the USA. Drain it of resources making it easier to fold into the NWO. In the process, of course, our institutions (now crumbling under onslaughts by ACLU and Homoseuxal Agenda) have taken such a beating that it would take decades to restore them.

Hey environazis...

CO2 facilitates plant growth.

[PeterPrinciple]

Dr. Balling urges fellow Americans to "drive out to the forest and feel good about the CO2 coming out of your tailpipe!"


I think this is a quote from FR?

[razorback-bert]

Canadian billionaire Maurice Strong, poised ... wrote: ... the affluent middle class … ... … are not sustainable."

Why do the rich hate the middle class so much?

[Mind-numbed Robot]

What they seek is control of fellow man: how he lives, how he works, and whether constitutional limitations on his government shall endure. In their drive for power, they are regularly aided by elements of the Establishment media that also ignore sound science.

I also think the author has been perusing FR. Good article though with lots of good data for future use.

Reminds them of where some of 'em came from?

Why do the rich hate the middle class so much?

Why would you mug a poor person?

CO2 facilitates plant growth.

Especially kudzu.

Why do the rich hate the middle class so much?

Because the middle class have enough free time to look up and see what they are doing to us (if they can bring themselves to look away from the TV).

When next debating a "global warming alarmist," ask these 5 questions:

1.) Q: What percentage of the atmosphere is Carbon Dioxide?

A: About 0.06%, that's six one hundredths of one percent!

2.) Q: How much of an increase does this represent over the percentage of CO2 in the earth's atmosphere before the widespread burning of fossil fuels by humans?

A: That percentage is up from 0.04%, actually a 50% increase!

3.) Q: What is the most prevalent "greenhouse gas," and what percentage is it in the earth's atmosphere?

A: Water vapor. Between 0 and 4%, depending on local humidity. That's 300 times more on average than the percentage of CO2.

4.) Q: Since this much more common "greenhouse gas" is not at all dealt with by the Kyoto treaty, what do you propose to do about it?

A: Good question...

5.) Q: Do you actually expect us to buy this "global warming" crap in light of these facts?

A: Fill this in yourself.

I guarantee that any "eco-wacko" you might happen to "debate" on this issue will not be able to or will refuse to answer the first question. He or she will then get very angry and flustered, and sputter out something like "...what difference does that make?" or "What, ...are you some sort of wise guy?" You of course will answer " Yes, and very much wiser than you, for that matter."

We have idiots leading idiots. When are the rest of us going to stand up?

Only a few weeks ago, however, a group of MIT and Harvard scientists released a two-year study that boldly recommended increasing the number of America’s nuclear power plants from 100 to 300>>>

I only wish he would have quoted a source and the research paper with those named who conducted the research.

Rights, farms, environment ping.

Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from this list.
I don't get offended if you want to be removed.

[Salman]

Anyone around here remember the James Thurber story (with illustrations) where Chicken Little says the sky is falling and then big blue chunks of sky do fall and kill everyone? A good story!

[E.G.C.]

BTTT!!!!!!

[tubebender]

This is definitely a keeper and quotes could be used in "letters to the editor" etc...

[Carry_Okie]

CO2 facilitates plant growth.

Sometimes that's a problem. Reduced drought stress in trees due to the fertilization effect of carbon dioxide is packing up the forests full of young seedlings. Besides fire exclusion, that's one reason why recent fires have been so severe. It's like anything else, there are benefits in some places and problems in others.

I only wish he would have quoted a source and the research paper with those named who conducted the research.

Here it is:

THE FUTURE OF NUCLEAR ENERGY

Enjoy.
