Global Warming

In days gone buy, people could buy reductions in the time they would spend it pergatury by making donations to a particular order. A cleric would assess the donation and issue a certificate to the donor saying how many days their time in purgatory would be reduced by. Great for people who lead sinful lives looking to reduce their suffering in the next life.

This seems to have some parallels with carbon trading. In theory, you can still drive to work if you pay someone else to take public transport on your behalf, but the industy is entirely self regulated. People send money to which ever carbon offset services has the best marketing and they get a certificate with picture of trees and a statement of how much CO2 reduction you've bought.

Thank God! I get so tired of hearing this nonsensical rant.

Somehow I think this is just a lie and they will continue to issue "final" wake up calls for the next 100 years.

This story is old and tired. Same rubbish they have been saying since the early 1960's. Do they believe if they say it often enough, one day it must be true?

Once again we here the Progressive insane of the Democrat Party blame Global Warming for a disaster. Actually, it is arson that has caused these fires. One arsonist has already been shot and killed for contributing to Global Warming. Another arsonist, Catalino Panetta, a 41 year old Illegal Alien from Guatemala has been arrested but not shot yet. The Associated Press, like always, will go a mile in the fires to cover up any criminal activity from Illegal Aliens. Should Panetta be deported to Malaysia where he can be whipped for arson....lol

Is it ludicrous or what, companies and famous people living in palacial homes, traveling by jet, vacationing in places that import "the best"?

They brag on this crazy idea of offset credits.

What is that kind of thinking? I just can't get over it. And every day I read more about this crazy project.

I might laugh if it weren't so pathetic.

Thanks for your answers and any argument you are willing to promote... for this... this ...paradox.

And should it be abolished? As one of it's members indicates.



"Over the years, as I have learned more about the data and procedures of the IPCC I have found increasing opposition by them to providing explanations, until I have been forced to the conclusion that for significant parts of the work of the IPCC, the data collection and scientific methods employed are unsound. Resistance to all efforts to try and discuss or rectify these problems has convinced me that normal scientific procedures are not only rejected by the IPCC, but that this practice is endemic, and was part of the organisation from the very beginning. I therefore consider that the IPCC is fundamentally corrupt. The only "reform" I could envisage, would be its abolition."

In the 70s a few scientists warned that if we didn't start getting our sulfur dioxide emissions under control, we might trigger an ice age. As a result, we did just that (SO2 emissions have decreased since 1980 - see pages 12-14 in the link below), avoiding the potentially catastrophic scenario.

http://www.pnl.gov/main/publications/external/technical_reports/PNNL-14537.pdf

In the 80s we were warned that our CFC emissions were causing a hole in the ozone layer. As a result we phased them out in the mid-90s.

In 1999 we were warned that the Y2K bug would cause computers to crash. As a result we fixed the software.

Last year researchers in San Diego warned that "fire crews, land managers, ecologists and others need a better understanding of how global warming is making wildfires more frequent, bigger and more destructive"

Isn't it time to start listening to scientists' warnings about global warming?

Are the massive fires burning across Southern California a product of global warming?

Scientists said it would be difficult to make that case, given the dangerous mix of drought and wind that has plagued the region for centuries or more.

But they said the extreme conditions that stoked the wildfires could become more common as the world warms.

Research suggests that rising temperatures are already increasing fire damage in many parts of the West.

This forum is a wonderful tool to discuss and debate, but repeat questions are frequently posted either to generate another round of responses, possibly to draw out a new voice, or possibly just to push the buttons of those who feel strongly on the subject one way or the other.

Is the audience here unprepared to absorb the complexities of the subject matter? Is this category an outlet for those who are scared and frustrated? Or do some just need an outlet to vent their animosity, share their dark side and post information that is often tainted or out-of-date?

People were quick to blame "global warming" for the disaster that is happening in Southern California. These fires are so extreme, so frightening that they must be caused by global warming.

Now it's discovered that the cause of the fire was arson.

My question is, would the arsonist still have started these fires if global warming wasn't happening? Was the cause of the arson global warming?

Maybe the fear that the Earth is ending made this person set the California fires? If we only listened to Algore, this person never would have set the fires.

Is this right?

Especially, when they have NO proof! It's stated that people couldn't remove debris because the "environmentalist" wouldn't let them?

What's even more pathetic is that the liberal media is trying to show all the negative aspects versus the positive aspects... i.e. all levels of government are working together...
