NASA extinguishes global-warming fire

It really happened. The NASA scientist who lit the bonfire of the global warming vanities with his flamboyant congressional testimony 14 years ago, has turned the hose on its dying embers.

There is now no reason for the Bush administration to give an inch on climate change. Sure, energy efficient technologies (like my Honda hybrid) are worth exploring. But there is absolutely no scientific reason for any expensive policy like the Kyoto Protocol on global warming. Mr. Bush led the world by being the first to walk away from Kyoto, and science has proven him correct.

HAHAHAHA !!! I have been saying that Global Warming was bunk since the first time I heard about it on the basis that the Planet was not that sensitive to greenhouse gasses, now the Scientiss agree.

Words probably cannot describe my glee watching the "foaming at the mouth eco-wackos" reaction to this brave man.

Mini-Editorial:

Folks, all of us, when lauding, promoting, or referring to Free Republic to lurkers or browsers or the curious, ought to make a point of showing them- perhaps by emailing the link to it- the bump list.

With the admonition, "See how much you have not been told about? Now think of what you may have missed, because it simply was not talked about...."

Global warming is a reality. So is global cooling. The earth has been warming and cooling ever since there was an earth and there is not a darn thing we can do about it.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but facts will not affect the wachos in any way.

They are Liberal/Marxist/Communists and just want to reduce the world to a common level of missery so they can be in charge.

Which means that air head Algore was totally wrong and wanted to spend $trillion& of dollars to change the weather. Lets all be thankful gore did not succeed in stealing the presidency from Bush.

Who let the dogs out?-[Excerpt] Do the arguments against Mr. Lomborg have merit? Let's examine two of the many assertions made by Mr. Schneider against Mr. Lomborg.

(1) Emissions Scenarios: Mr. Schneider complains that "Lomborg dismisses all but the lowest" scenarios for future carbon dioxide emissions and consequent global warming.

Mr. Lomborg does so with good reason. An analysis of atmospheric carbon-dioxide concentrations over the last quarter-century reveals that the standard assumption of strong exponential growth is wrong. You could read about that it in NASA scientist James Hansen's recent writings in the "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences." [End Excerpt]

Oh, I realize that they will never change their minds, their Marist ideology runs too deep. Their elitist small minds cannot comprehend the fact they are wrong

I just thought it would be fun watching them making fools of themselves

Is there a correlation between the heat given off by humans and the average temperature of the atmosphere around big cities?

In 2050, the biomass of all humans will be greater than the biomass of all humans in 2002, and thus so should the average temperature of the air increase.

All we need is to test the idea. The number-crunching can then begin.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Bump!

Big bump for this one. Read it and weep DU lurkers!!

True but this throws a BIG wrench into their propaganda machine.

Is there a correlation between planting trees and grass in Phoenix and warmer nights?

In 2050, the biomass of all humans will be greater than the biomass of all humans in 2002, and thus so should the average temperature of the air increase.

Not to worry. The Aids epidemic will take care of that.

"Where are the reporters?"

Silly question. There are Republicans and conservatives to be smeared, Christians to be demonized, abortionists to be supported, gays to be glorified, victims to be created. Who has time for this story any more?

[Cincinatus' Wife]

The earth has been warming and cooling ever since there was an earth and there is not a darn thing we can do about it.

Maybe would could send some (why not a whole bunch) environmentalist wackos to the Sun. Their mission: adjust the thermostat.

[BOBTHENAILER]

DU lurkers in the bedroom weeping over this one. I can hear it now, "Why oh why did someone have to publish FACTS about this issue".
Great post, bookmarking for future reference.

Kyoto was never about Global Warming. The propaganda about Global Warming was simply the tool to gain power. Europe wanted Kyoto, because it would not affect them much, but would slow down the United States. Enron wanted Kyoto, because it would force people to buy their product. Now, Bono, is Enron a good guy for supporting Kyoto or just another corporate m-f'er? That from the King of Corporate Bands...putz!
