I suspect that if AZ makes it to the Bowl ,by the time Warner finishes 60 minutes against either of the AFC defenses;they will be playing Taps in his honor .
Since my team obviously has an aversion to playing past November I'm pulling for the team from their home away from home (which might change if they keep winning). Go Cards!
Q. What do you call 47 millionaires sitting around with their feet up, snacking and drinking beer while watching the Super Bowl on TV?
A. The Dallas Cowboys
Q. What do the Dallas Cowboys and Billy Graham have in common?
A. They both can make 70,000 people stand up and yell, "Jesus Christ."
Q. How do you keep a Dallas Cowboy out of your yard?
A. Put up a goal post.
Q. What do you call a Dallas Cowboy with a Super Bowl ring?
A. A thief.
Q. What's the difference between the Dallas Cowboys and a dollar bill?
A. You can still get four quarters out of a dollar bill.
Q. How many Dallas Cowboys does it take to win a Super Bowl?
A. Nobody remembers and we will very likely never find out!
Q. What do the Cowboys and a possums have in common?
A. Both play dead at home and get killed on the road!
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.
Here is the bottom line. Obama has tabbed Carol Browner, a socialist flat -earth eviro-wacko ,to be his global warming czarina .Until last week,Browner was listed as one of the leaders of the Socialist International's Commission for a Sustainable World Society, which calls for "global governance." She demands that developed countries ,especially the U.S. accept draconian standards to reduce consumption and punitive limits on greenhouse gas emissions.
But beyond her radical ideology is there a hidden agenda to her advocacy ? Of Course! Just like the Goracle ;she profits handsomly by taking extreme positions on carbon trading . She is on the board of directors of APX
Carol Browner Joins APX's Board of Directors
Carbon Greenhouse Gas Market InfrastructureQuote:
APX is the leading infrastructure provider for environmental markets in greenhouse gases including carbon commodities. These commodities include emissions allowances and carbon offsets, sometimes called Verified Emission Reductions (VERs), Emission Reduction Units (ERUs), Certified Emission Reductions (CERs), Verified Carbon Units (VCUs), or Carbon Reduction Tons (CRTs).
So not only is there an ideological attempt at crippling the economy to pave the way for socialism, while granting unprecedented power to bureaucrats like Browner at play here . There's also money to be made .
Bw he he (I hate this for Chicagoans, but... ) "A new record was set Wednesday when Chicago had its ninth consecutive day of measurable snowfall, according to the National Weather Service.
The previous record was eight consecutive days set from Dec. 13 to 20, 1973.
Snowfall records in Chicago date back to 1884.
A wind chill warning has been issued as temperatures as tsmperartures will not reach single digits until Friday.
The forecast for Thursday is: Sunny and cold, with a high near -3. Wind chill values as low as -33. West northwest wind between 10 and 15 mph." Record snowfall, plunging temperatures hit the area - Indian Head Park, IL - Indian Head Park Suburban Life
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.
Ex - I must take exception to your statement: The naysayers, however, make no sense at all. They just deny, deny, deny...
I believe that several of us Rightys have offered valid proposals, facts, and reasoned arguments in support of our position. I would like you to point out errors of fact or logic that I and others have made. Merely stating that we all endorse pollution, are Exxon stockholders, have no entrepreneural spirit, offer no alternatives, and merely deny, just does not cut it. Please provide but one concrete rebuttal to a point made by me or another.
However, both of us agree that Sheriff Joe of AZ is a loon.:)
Maybe none of this even matters because we just may be living in a giant hologoram. :rolleyes:
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.
I mean, how are the horses going to produce anymore carbon footprint in the parade than they would back in the stable? :rolleyes:
Maybe they could at least offer us a good fake attempt…
Without a hitch except for one minor detail…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.
Hello again, righty's:
I'm just not sure you guys are using the right standards to measure people or to call them hypocrites...
You can drive your SUV because you don't believe in global warming, so you can't be called a hypocrite... But, if any of those people who BELIEVE in global warming DON'T ride their bike to work, THEY'RE hypocrites... And, if they're RICH, you STILL expect 'em to walk.
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.
