#3046 | hah! That reminds of when the Budweiser Rocket set out to break the speed of sound, and the radar returned a speed of 27 mph.....picked up a pickup truck in the background instead of the rocket car.

#3047 | I wonder who owns the airplane. Looks like an Eastern Bloc moniker, and a Mig-style tail.
Perhaps it belongs to Al Gore. | | Distinguished Member with 14,988 posts. | | Join Date: Sep 2003 Location: -71.45091, 42.27841 |

#3048 | MIT sees acceleration in US greenhouse emissions
Article here.
U.S. greenhouse gas emissions could grow more quickly in the next 50 years than in the previous half-century, and technological change may cause increased emissions rather than control them, according to a new study by an MIT economist and his colleague.

Polar bears will simply have to adapt, evolve, or perish.

#3054 | I submit that humaity's part in global climate change is insignificant, and that there is no concensus with regard to humanity's impact among the scientific community.
But there is a hyper bias of a political nature against Capitalism. And that is what I feel is the primary motivation of the hype.
You can blame Al Gore for that .... or you can credit him for that. You decide.
All depends on how deep your bias runs. I suspect pretty deep. | | Senior Member with 1,614 posts. | | Join Date: May 2004 Location: Montreal, Canada. Experience: Usually old enough to know better... |

| Of course.
Perhaps yopu have noticed that I have supported the clean air act, the clean water act and other environmental protection bills. It's not all about politics for me, contrary to the rumor mill in this place. Quote: |

| Of course you ignore him. He is moputhing your side of the argument. So what iof he's out and out lying. So long as he spouts your side of the argument, you're content to ignore him, and would never speak up against the lies which are SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED to manifest a leftist agenda .... which I am not so certain ytou don't outright support. Quote: |
Yeah, it does run deep. Completely above politics. But if you feel you must, then you can dump my views into whatever political can you wish. Jibber-jabbering about politics does nothing to the science.
| Ahh, but what about when the science is used (or in this case mis-used) to advance a political agenda?
Is that okay in your eyes? I believe that it is. So long as it is politically adventageous.
Look, I support spending more, much more on research and the development of cost effective fuel alternatives.
I enjoy clean air and water as much as the next guy.
Good day to you, Lizard. | | Community Moderator with 50,226 posts. | | Join Date: Jan 2003 Location: Central USA Experience: Need no stinking badges |
