Since there is now a valid report about global warming, shouldn't we be voting for something like prop. 87???

Question

Global warming is now according to the latest report a reality that we as humans have to deal with. Does it not seem reasonable to vote for a proposition such as proposition 87 to at least get started in the right direction for this country. I know the oil industry does not want to foot the bill for this, even though they are one of the main reasons for the global warming trend. Let's act responsible and do something to save our planet and our children from this mass buildup of polution from emissions continually sustained by not obtaining alternate forms of energy.....

Answer 1

We do need to start doing things differently. It will take more than a proposition to do it but it's a start.

Answer 2

There's a lot of shaky science in that report and a lot of unproven assumptions. Much of what they claim about global warming is from results generated by the global climate models. However, they are not correct in several aspects, the largest being accounting for snow/ice accumulation in the antarctic. Since global climate is interactive and dynamic the huge variation between predicted and actual snowfalls in that large an area proves the entire model is flawed.

The next point is that the globe is actually COOLER than the average over the last 60 million years. We do not know that the warming trend is not a normal fluctuation.

Just because a group with a vested interest says it, it does not make it true. It was only about twenty years ago that the world was falling into an ice age due to mankind's influence. They were wrong then too but many people bought into that mess and panicked like they are doing about global warming.

Answer 3

global warming is a scam !
Did you know that the United Nations (such an ethical august body ) has readjusted their budget??? Allocations that WERE collected for AID (medicine,vaccines,hospital supplies,staff ,orphanages etc) have been cut 40+% BECAUSE the money was shifted into the NEW earth environmental studies program. This "program" provided funding,grants and other fiscal support to investigate the HARM mankind. CO2 emissions maybe changing the weather..... Gore is just a small fry in the world of the big boys looking to score millions in profits ( air purifiers,alternate fuel commodities, donations from environmentally conscious humans wanting to "save" the earth)

THEY FUND "research" to their tuned in cronies who then produce "reports" which are then placed as "headlines" in the press/media
The creation of a "hot button" issue doesnt have to be true...it simply has to be repeated over and over again because then people will begin to "accept" it as fact...especially if you get the "report data" from some supposedly reputable "source/personality" who wants an off shore account for his retirement, or a prestigious school/organization" that could use some extra cash , or even a low cost scientist who knows that his only path to glory/recognition is to have his/her work make the headlines

there are tons of reports that post conclusions based on :
--garbage science
anyone can collect data that will provide an
"expected" conclusion! the scientist(team) chooses the variables, -type of equiptment, the analytical "method"* and their "math" (many of which creates mythical adjustment "factors" or devised "constants" that help "clarify" their results.
Reality... the 1900's to mid century had greater pollution rates,,,climate change is effected everytime a volcano goes off, the earth switches magnetic poles BUT before it does it screws up the weather, the ozone layer has waxed and waned for millinea as has the suns effects (increase/decreased solar winds, sun spots -all of which raise/lower earths temp, no ones knoes whether the "earths core" has always emmitted a steady heat or whether it varies.. one new vent in the ocean floor, that we never know about or a release of some huge gas pocket (i.e. methane)..etc etc etc
Reality is == no verifiable evidence of squat.
The verifiable evidence points to the UN and other profiteers looking to increase their power (political and fiscal)...We all share one planet BUT the idea (common amoung the "new world order types") is how can use a panic/or serious concern to collect from the countries that have $$$...i.e. why is their no hubbub about the mining operations in south america??? or the thousands of open flame fires/lamps being used in the "poor " countries (i.e. N. Korea/Africa/indonesia) which burn anything they can get.
Global warming is just a scam...

Answer 4

What has to be done, Is that the companies capable of allowing their employees to stay home do so. That would drop demand within days, it would make people a happier group, and make workers more productive. Not to mention they wouldn't be emitting all those fumes, with the less commuters we could use the money we planned on using for highway expansion to things to lower emissions. The solution is very simple, but unfortunately there are too many millions at stake, lets face it with trillions of dollars in oil yes trillions the middle east oil supply, at today's oil price is valued at over a trillion dollars, dropping demand would kill them. So to keep those numbers up, each and every senator, representative and or city politician will be able to get at least 100,000 to keep this from passing. Would this solution be practical yes but would it be able to be passed, not very soon. If you really want to save the environment go to EXXON and when their patent runs up which should be soon on a oil filter they invented in the '80s grab it. The amount of oil drained into our oceans every 6 months is the equivalent of the Valdez (oil tanker spill in '80s) with this filter you never drain your oil, you just continuously add more oil. With this our environment would be better, and oceans cleaner. The overall moral, invest in oil, use what you make off the investment, to buy a hybrid.

Answer 5

There might be a report about global warming, but Prop 87 isn't the answer.

Answer 6

Global warming is a hypothesis there are many scientists who think it is a recurring phase as has happened in the past. And even if it is correct we cannot stop it the rest of the thirld world and china and india are going to pollute anyway.

Answer 7

No, no and no.
Oklahoma Senator Jim Inhofe says global warming is the biggest hoax perpetuated on the American people.
And I believe him!
Of course, I would never question anything that Sen. Inhofe says.
He is always right and I believe him.
He is the smartest person in the world...and I believe him.
I am unable to think for myself...I am a follower, not a leader...I do not want to make waves so I go along to get along...Sen. Inhofe is Gods' right hand man...he is all-knowing, all-powerful...and I believe him...I believe him...I believe him....

Answer 8

Ican tell you have been suckered by the media, however I personally don't know and I don't think anybody else does either. There are many scientists that have the opposite view , but you don't hear about them in the media. It doesn't fit their agenda.

Answer 9

Sounds good to me. I propose we place a layer of concrete over the entire planet. Then there will be no difference between third world countries and the US.

Answer 10

You're absolutely right! Start a letter writing campaign to your Congressman.
