That's nice.
Global warming never was a problem. It was just a huge scam
Not quite. You need to discover Al Gore's hidden motives.

Based on what I've read, ol' lard ass Al had about $96,000,000.00 "hidden
motives"

there is that but he also has ideologies.

that got replaced by an even bigger scam called "bail outs".

How else is Congress going to pick your cupboard bare.


Yeah, global warming is so over, because it snowed in Las Vegas, a
global indicator if ever there was one.

That's the desert. It does snow in deserts occasionally.

That's right. Each man should develop his own flu vaccine.

Your appeal to authority is John Stossel, lol. Isn't he one of
those libtard news peddlers you guys always are yelling about?

I posted that because I figured it was simple enough for you to
figure out.

See if you can understand these.

Good articles lass. As I said, global warming was never a problem,
just a big scam. Now it's been replaced with an even bigger scam
called "bail outs". Of course you'll still have some hard core
idiots listening to ol' lard ass Al and the ones who have jobs
that depend on the global warming scam staying alive but, for
every one else, global warming is about as important as the global
freezing hysteria of the 1970s.

Here's one from Al Gores team

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB119387567378878423.html

I think the fact that this thread is in sci.econ as opposed to
sci.energy or something is a testimonial to the fact that is has
become a political football as opposed to anything scientific. For
my own self I can't seem to take a side on this GW deal and never
have. I see social democracy as the best ideological compromise and
want to move along. In that regard I would like to see a lot more
of the tax burden in the USA on petroleum and on import duties. And
I have no objection to a carbon tax that gets both crude and coal.
My own position is one of rebuilding the economic strength of the
USA by getting off the oil teat and at the same time not having acid
for rain. Global warming for me is like spotted owls: If I have to
hang a few spotted owls from the limbs of those gorgeous huge tress
to keep the morons away then I'll do it. Quality of life matters.

I've looked into. The evidence for manmade global warming is
inconclusive, but suggests it is occuring. There is no doubt that the
earth is heating up, the question is whether human-produced CO2 and
methane have anything to do with it.

Fortunately, it is still possible to answer the big question, which is
what should be done.

Waiting for conclusive evidence of manmade global warming makes no
sense, because then it would be too late to do anything.

If there is significant manmade global warming that would lead to
catastrophe then we had better do something now.

If there is no significant manmade global warming that would lead to
catastrophe but the CO2 screws up the ecosystem in some other way like
ocean acidification then we had better do something now.

If it turns out that the CO2 is not a problem then whoops, we have
saved some oil for our grandchildren and we have done the right thing.

And have pissed huge amounts of our resources against the wall to no useful purpose.

And very real downsides too, particularly when the world is going into a significant recession for other reasons.

Quote:
By developing green technology you win no matter what.

Wrong. It can be a completely pointless exercise in spending a lot more than we need to completely pointlessly.

Quote:
-----

Estimates of the costs range from 0.1% of world GDP to 3%.

The cost of what he proposes, no imported oil, are a hell of a lot higher than that.

Quote:
So what is the big deal?

The fact that the world economy is already in a severe recession.

Quote:
I read Rush Limbaugh's book and he thought it obviously impossible
that anything humans did could screw up the Earth in any way.

Who cares what that fool claims ?

Quote:
Even if it did happen, we'd figure out some way to fix it. We'd figure out
some substitute for oil. to think otherwise is an insult to human ingenuity.

Yes, but its obviously pointless doing something as drastic as that if it isnt necessary.

With one difference. Aids, the Plague and myths about Irish drunks are
real. The only real thing about global warming was the $96M ol' lard ass Al
made selling it to guys like you. Seriously bucko. Al Gore lives in a
mansion, he travels in convoys of gas-guzzling SUVs and flies around in
private jets while telling the "global-warming-faithful" to eat less, live
colder and ride bicycles. Didn't that ever strike you as just a little,
teeny, weeny bit nuts? Global warming was the biggest scam ever pulled on
the American people - until the government came up with "bail outs".

Lie.

Lie. It may just be another short term result.

And whether it is actually heating up or whether its just a
short term variation that we have seen plenty of before.

Wrong, as always.

For the cost of Bushie's war crimes and his incompent economic policies, AmeriKKKa could have replaced all carbon
based energy sources with solar.

Pig ignorant lie.

Taint gunna fix the problem with cars.

And if you care about CO2, the only thing that makes any sense is to use nukes for power generation anyway.
