enjoy, and as always, blame Canada !
I’ve been wondering the same thing about those solar panels. If CO2 is going to trap all the heat in, what about those black panels that absorb all the radiation, including the ones that CO2 would have normally allowed to escape?
As per usual, the over-the-top idiocy prevents any rational assessment of the issue. So animals cause global warming, plants cause global warming, lack of plants or animals causes warming. You know what, the existance of warmth causes global warming. If only we could get those atoms to stop moving so fast!
And they laughed at Reagan when he said that trees cause pollution. . . .
I was watching a program “Planeta Feroz” on the Spanish-language Discovery Channel that basically said because of global warming we’d be getting colder weather and worse blizzards. I kid you not.
Let’s see ... hmmmm ... I buy carbon credits from Al Gore so I can continue to drive my SUV conscience-free ... Al Gore plants trees with my carbon credits ... the trees reflect sunlight, contributing to global warming ... I begin to laugh.
Al Gore must be the most influential person on the planet right now. I can’t believe that his one stupid movie has gained this much interest in the World. Even the Republicans have gotten on the Global Warming train. How could this have happened?
First we find out that trees are CARBON sources and not sinks, and now this! Oh my!!!
TREES ARE EVIL AND MUST BE CLEAR CUTTED! :)
It is obviously time to restart logging on federal land.
Canada ping (of a sort)
For nutty liberals, everything causes global warming — well, with the exception of tofu...
I have 7 acres of pine trees.
33°F here this morning.
This is too funny. I think I’ll go out and cut down a tree today.
Why don’t we just put a whole bunch of white dye in the oceans so they can reflect more and absorb less.
To think they ridiculed Ronald Reagan for saying much the same thing.
"North of 20 degrees [latitude] forests had a direct warming influence that more or less counterbalanced the cooling effect of carbon removal from the atmosphere," said Prof Caldeira. Past 50 degrees, forests warmed the Earth by an average of 0.8C. But in the tropics forests helped cool the planet by an average of 0.7C.
I hope that some of the trees planted with the help of Algore’s “carbon offsets” are not in snowy areas.
No carbon credit purchases allowed from Finnish companies.
Here is another laugher from the Boston Globe via Drudge—
David G. Hawkins , director of the Climate Center at the Natural Resources Defense Council, said some emerging research suggests that dramatic changes in ocean temperatures could hamper the ability of warships to operate in some regions of the world.
“[Submarines] take advantage of the ocean having certain characteristics,” Hawkins said. “You could wind up with weapons that are no longer optimal because they were designed for the climate that existed thirty years before.”

"If," he said tersely, "we could for a moment move on the subject of fiscal policy..."
"Fiscal policy!" whooped Ford Prefect. "Fiscal policy! How can you have money if none of you actually produces anything? It doesn't grow on trees you know."
"If you would allow me to continue. . ."
Ford nodded dejectedly.
"Thank you. Since we decided a few weeks ago to adopt the leaf as legal tender, we have, of course, all become immensely rich. But we have also run in to a small inflation problem on account of the high level of leaf availability, which means that, I gather, the current going rate has something like three deciduous forests to one ship's peanut. So in order to obviate this problem, and effectively revalue the leaf, we are about to embark on a massive defoliation campaign, and. . .er, burn down all the forests. I think you'll all agree that's a sensible move under the circumstances."
