But now it turns out that it is far worse than we could ever have imagined. This fever is contagious. It has traversed the great darkness of space. It has traveled the unfathomable distance of 450 miles to settle on the surface of sun. It has now infected earth’s nearest neighbor. And if we don’t do something about it within ten years all of the sun’s solar ice caps will have melted and she will no longer be able to sustain the myriads of plant and animal lives that...

Only about 45% of man-made CO2 stays in the atmosphere. However, the global-warming moonbats have suggested the ability of oceans and plants to absorb CO2 recently may have begun to decline and that the airborne fraction of man-made CO2 emissions is therefore beginning to increase causing the amount of CO2 to increase also . Many climate models also assume that the airborne fraction will increase. For the moonbats, understanding this number is important for predicting future climate change,...

The challenge to all will be to build on that foundation."

We are told that Concentrating Solar Power (Solar Thermal) can actually provide power to replace power generated from coal fired sources. While the solar element can provide power for some of the time, the only way they can supply power for the requisite 24 hour period is to have a backup source using a Natural Gas turbine, emitting CO2, and you would be shocked to know just how much CO2 it does emit.

Companies or other groups are issued emission permits and are required to hold an equivalent number of credits. Companies that need to increase their emission allowance must buy credits from those who pollute less. In effect, the buyer is paying a charge for polluting, while the seller is being rewarded for having reduced emissions by more than was needed....
