Styrofoam is a trade name of the Dow Chemical company. Styrofoam is extruded polystyrene. There is NO water used in the production of Styrofoam. There is some water (steam) used to produce expdanded polystyrene (bead board) but none in extruded polystyrene (Styrofoam).
I'm thinking about marketing a "detector" for that.
giggle.
I just know there would be people that would buy it.....
LOL. Are you seriously analyzing that post for technical correctness ?
He must work(ed) for Dow.
I have delivered some freight to Dow and I can tell you as a matter of fact that I saw an employee ingesting DHMO out of some sort of DHMO projection unit, so it must be used in the production to some extent.
I know a Dow executive and when I was at his house I know for a fact that DHMO was used in the preparation of my food.

It's especially curious that the leftist scum that propogate the "humans are the problem" approach know (KNOW!) that an asteroid (which many scientists believe hit the Gulf of Mexico/Yucatan Pen. area) was the cause of a "global event" that led to significantly lower global temperatures and the extinction of the dinosaurs.
It's a very real possiblity that a meteor or asteroid caused a notable amount of damage to the atmosphere. It's particular amusing that the "no nukes" crowd always cites damage to the earth's atmostphere (caused by testing and what not), but when presented the KNOWN event that is comparable to a mega nuclear bomb, they can't seem to fathom that it was that event, not my Jeep, that has triggered a warming trend.
And, that would be discounting some of the more recent studies that conclude that the Sun (the very star that warms this planet to begin with) is burning at it's hottest in the last 8,000 years.
Anyone with the most elementary understanding of physics can tell you if distance is constant and radiating heat increases, then core temperatures around that heat source will also rise.
As I have pointed out on several threads, you don't even need to "understand" any physics to discern this fact.
All you need is a slow burning fire, 4-5 logs and some lighter fluid. Stand 4 feet from the fire. Now throw the 4-5 logs on and pour on the fluid. Now, stand there.
What was the result? Well, outside of the very distinct possiblity of missing eyebrows, you will be hotter. There simply no way around that.
Now, back to Sun-Earth warming and apply the same. Sun burns hotter = Earth's core temperature will heat up. And, when the core temperature heats up, it is very likely to lead to other reactions (Newton and all).
And, if scientists are indeed alarmed, then maybe it is both of these theories and not my Jeep. Eh?
It is found in baby bottles. Yes, festus, tiny children baby bottles. Think of it!
I wonder if any of it can still be found in the river that runs through our city. (you know, the one they attempt to dye green -excuse me- lighter green, every year)
I really doubt there's any in that ditch. I've been by there and frankly I'd be surprised.
Now that I think about it though there might be some that hasn't yet evaporated from that little incident with the Dave Matthews Band's tour bus and that sight seeing cruise ;-)
No..no..no..no
Those guys really know what they are talking about...especially when they say things like, "the evidence is irrefutable...", "there can be no other conclusion!"
I'm not sure about everyone else but when I hear words like that, I just quit thinking.
No sense in questioning authority like that!
back to Jerry Springer and Oprah................
It's nothing to laugh about. Did you know that everyone who is exposed to even a small amount of Dihydro Monoxide eventually dies?
it is also responsible for the deaths in the mud slides in the philippines, and katrina.
it is amazing that they blamed freon, a very heavy molecule, for destroying the ozone layer. even the worst hurricane, could not launch chlroflouro-etc up into the ozone belt.
also, the amount of crap thrown into the atmosphere by Mt pinaturbo several years ago, was well over anything man could have done in several hundred years.....

Budt the vegies still claim it's all due to cow farts!
How does one measure climate changes over thousands of years?
It blew down how many trees? About 20 kt worth? Hmmmm.
interesting. listworthy?
