Re: Global warming!!

Let me subscribe us all to the new magazine called Modern Jackass - The magazine for the person who knows just a little bit and thinks s/he can work out the rest.
Quote ...
a person that talks expertly about something he/she actually knows nothing about

(Defined by the NPR show This American Life, the intro is only 4.5 minutes and is pretty good)
Usually occurs in a conversation when you know a little about a subject and when asked to expand upon it, you extrapolate completely unrelated nonsense.

Re: Global warming!!

Let the ridiculousness begin:

http://www.forbes.com/feeds/ap/2008/...ap5272246.html
ATLANTA -Georgia business groups are appealing a judge's decision to halt the construction of a power plant, warning that the ruling could stall other energy plants and hamper economic development throughout the state
....
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Thelma Wyatt Cummings Moore's ruling relied on the Supreme Court's decision last year that carbon dioxide could be regulated as a pollutant, and environmental activists said it set a precedent.

In the ruling, Moore contended that federal air pollution laws required permits for all pollutants that could be regulated under the federal Clean Air Act - including carbon dioxide. The gas, which is blamed for global warming, is not currently regulated.
~~~~~~~~~~~

If all Al Bore's friends would just hold their breath for 10 minutes, CO2 would be back in balance.

Re: Global warming!!

As I begin to read the reponse to this simplifcation of major decisions, I thought, I should put my 2 cents in on this one, having a fair bit of environmental, chemical and biological knowledge.

No matter if this guys right or the next guy, we all need to conserve the world by limiting pollution in all forms, be it gas, solid or liquid.

The world may cool, it may heat up, it might calapse due bioaccumulation of toxin in the food chain, or..... maybe nothing will happen. Although i think everyone will agree that given the worlds current state, (just take a look at beijing right now) and humans relentless exasperation of its resources and limiting factors, the planet earth will react negatively. Therefore no matter what way you look at it, the best thing to do is make a personal effort to be environmentally freindly and then legislation will follow.

Re: Global warming!!

I wonder what alternative energy source Georgia has to equal the energy output of a coal fired power station. Maybe they could harness all that extra hot air some of their politicos send out.

It went with the cold war, most likely into outer space.

Re: Global warming!!

But with the Cold War over, shouldn't all that excess cold be spilling over somewhere? Remember, cold settles to low spots, thus it should not be escaping into space.

Re: Global warming!!

We need a big government program to find the missing cold, so we can fight global warming.
