Here we go, Worldwatch says we must not only halt ALL carbon emissions by 2050, we must "go negative" after that.
Has anyone yet proven with even some meaningful precision that global temperatures have risen 1.4 degrees since 1850?Quote:
To avoid the most catastrophic effects of climate change, world carbon emissions will have to drop to near zero by 2050 and "go negative" after that, the Worldwatch Institute reported on Tuesday.
This is a deeper cut than called for by most climate experts and policymakers, including President-elect Barack Obama, who favors an 80 percent drop in U.S. carbon emissions by mid-century.
Limiting carbon emissions aims to keep global mean temperature from rising more than 3.6 degrees F (2 degrees C) over what it was before the Industrial Revolution -- but one Worldwatch author said even this is too dangerous.
"Global warming needs to be reduced from peak levels to 1 degree (Celsius, or 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit) as fast as possible," co-author William Hare said at a briefing on the "State of the World 2009" report. "At this level you can see some of the risks fade into the background."
Global mean temperature has already risen 1.4 degrees F (0.8 C) since 1850, so drastic cuts in emissions of climate-warming carbon dioxide are needed, according to Hare, now working at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany.
Funny... thanks for that.Quote:

You may not be a scientist; neither am I. Common sense is not against the law, but Obama and the libs may yet 'change' that, too.
Common sense says that one cold snap and record snowfalls in one year don't erase or reverse the trend for the last 15, 20 or 50 years.
I'm not a climate change alarmist, but I don't want people to disbelieve climate change for the wrong reasons. Local trends don't give you useful information about the entire planet.Quote:

IFL: Inauguration Will Produce 575 MILLION Pounds of CO2!
Quote:
Everyone knows the new administration will be the greenest in modern times. But you might not know how un-green the Inauguration is going to be. The Institute For Liberty scratched together some rough figures for illustrative purposes, and our new analysis Carbon Bigfoot finds:
Celebrities, politicians, and bigwigs using 600 private jets will produce 25,320,000 POUNDS of CO2
Personal vehicles could account for 262,483,200 POUNDS of CO2
In the parade, horses alone will produce more than 400 POUNDS of CO2
The total carbon footprint for the Inauguration will likely exceed 575 million POUNDS of CO2
It would take the average U.S. household 57,598 years to produce a carbon footprint equal to that of the new president's housewarming party
If those private jets weren't going to Washington, they would likely have been flying to the Caribbean or some other exotic resort to escape the recent Global Cooling :D. I find it funny that they produce numbers like that but don't explain that almost all of what they quote would be producing a carbon footprint if they were at the Inauguration or not.Quote:

Early this morning, Congressman-Elect Eric Massa departed his hometown of Corning, New York to be sworn into the 111th Congress on Tuesday. Massa will arrive for his formal swearing-in on Tuesday morning, but the 282 mile journey in a GM Electric Fuel Cell Equinox went off without a hitch.
It would have cost me about $14.00 to drive my Corolla the 282 miles. I wonder what it took to drive 2 fuel cell vehicles there and tow them back behind two hybrid SUV's?Quote:
A hydrogen fuel cell car driven by U.S. Rep. Eric Massa to Washington, D.C on Monday didn't actually get him all the way there.
Massa had to be in the nation's capital Tuesday for his swearing in as the 29th Congressional District's new representative. He drove the General Motors Equinox prototype car to draw attention to the technology, some of which is being developed in the district.
The problem is the car can go about 150 to 200 miles without a refill, and the trip from Corning to Washington, D.C. is 282 miles. And there are no hydrogen refilling stations along the way.
As a result, Massa had to switch to another GM hydrogen fuel cell vehicle that was standing by in Harrisburg.
After the trip, both cars were towed back to their original locations by two Chevrolet Tahoe hybrid SUVs.

I don't know. As soon as the infrastructure becomes available for people to readily use, people who fly their own planes aren't hypocrites.

If I drive a fuel hogging SUV while preaching against it (or pose as a climate change guru and live in a fuel hogging mansion with a huge carbon footprint) I'm a hypocrite. As it is, I drive small, fuel efficient vehicles, use programmable thermostats, energy efficient lighting, try to plant low maintenance landscape plants and almost never water my yard. If I can do it I darn sure expect those who preach it to do so. When they don't it makes them hypocrites, plain and simple. You know I'm right.

But, if you want to talk about libs view of freedom, then I'm going to talk a bit about conservatives view of freedom... Let me rephrase that a bit, because I don't believe YOUR view of freedom is conservative at all.
Frankly, I'll take the Barry Goldwater view of freedom/conservatism over yours, any day. But, I digress..
I've been listening to the dufus in chief speaking recently... He talks a LOT about spreading freedom.. Sounds really, really good too... But, as I watched, I saw that HIS view of freedom, and MINE, ain't the same... It's not even close... As a matter of fact, my jaw keeps dropping open when I hear him (and YOU) say stuff.
Personally, I think being free from unwarranted government wire taps is being free. You don't.
I think being able to challenge my detention (should I be arrested), via habeas corpus is being free. You don't.
I think having the cops obey the Constitution is being free. You don't.
I think having a justice department FREE of political corruption is part of being free. You don't.
I have more - MUCH more. I'm a Barry Goldwater conservative, by the way.

I think we are headed for an ice age as the chemtrails are effectively blocking out the sun's rays to the earth. The chemtrails are having the opposite effect than what they imagined them to be. If they would just stop with the chemtrail stuff being sprayed and let nature do it's thing, the earth would be much better off. I have been waking up for the past week with red, itchy eyes - obviously they are spraying something new for me to react like that.
Chemtrails... you mean contrails?. or are you buying into the conspiracy theory that some unnamed group is drugging us ?
Never fear, there is an art to Mental Chembusting "in the silence and privacy of your mind," so ramp up your vibratory rate and engage in collective thought chemtrail busting and all will be well.
It must work .

"At December's U.N. Global Warming conference in Poznan, Poland, 650 of the world's top climatologists stood up and said man-made global warming is a media generated myth without basis. Said climatologist Dr. David Gee, Chairman of the International Geological Congress, "For how many years must the planet cool before we begin to understand that the planet is not warming?"
"I asked myself, why would such obviously smart guy say such a ridiculous thing? But it turns out he's right.
"The earth's temperature peaked in 1998. It's been falling ever since; it dropped dramatically in 2007 and got worse in 2008, when temperatures touched 1980 levels."

Study: Antarctica joins rest of globe in warming
By SETH BORENSTEIN – 17 hours ago
WASHINGTON (AP) — Antarctica, the only place that had oddly seemed immune from climate change, is warming after all, according to a new study. For years, Antarctica was an enigma to scientists who track the effects of global warming. Temperatures on much of the continent at the bottom of the world were staying the same or slightly cooling, previous research indicated.
The new study went back further than earlier work and filled in a massive gap in data with satellite information to find that Antarctica too is getting warmer, like the Earth's other six continents.
The findings were published in Thursday's issue of the journal Nature.
"Contrarians have sometime grabbed on to this idea that the entire continent of Antarctica is cooling, so how could we be talking about global warming," said study co-author Michael Mann, director of the Earth System Science Center at Penn State University. "Now we can say: no, it's not true ... It is not bucking the trend."
And that was where the article ended in my paper. This was for you TexasParent. This is what the mainstream media in America thinks of us, we're buffoons to be dismissed, we can't understand such scientific intricacies so why bother trying to explain? Man-made global warming is just plain fact and has now come to Antarctica so you MUST believe... even though "It is hard to make data where none exist."Quote:
The study does not point to man-made climate change as the cause of the Antarctic warming — doing so is a highly intricate scientific process — but a different and smaller study out late last year did make that connection.
