To a politician it makes no difference if anthropogenic global climate change is real or not. What matters is that it can be used as a tool to increase political power. If it is real politicians are absolutely the last people you would want to put in charge of finding a solution.

I think those scientists have passed the point of no return.

If we want to cool the planet off we need to find a way to trigger a volcano of sufficient size to push us back into the several hundred year period known as the "Mini-Ice Age." Of course, we have to ignore the fact that historically (and apparently pre-historically) human kind does better when the earth is a little warmer as compared to when it is a little cooler.
BTW, what is wrong with having 10 foot higher sea levels? Is it that current shore front properties are owned by the wealthy and they (the evil rich) might lose money?

I love how we had a very hot day here in the Sacramento region yesterday... around 107... but the record (111) was set in 1913.

Climate has changed over the years many time during the life of the earth. I am not surprised it is changing again, and most likely for reasons much more significant than that people are doing. The very fact government is pushing for regulations and taxes makes me think their 'solution' is worse than the problem.

Or read SuperFreakonomics and discover why those five suggestions will never produce the results they hope would happen.

ah, forget it... once you've tried the Kool-Aid, there's no going back.

Ciao!

Sounds like an inconvenient truth all over again. How many of the predictions in that bit of fiction have come true?

Hmmm..
At least they had the good grace to call it "Clamate Change: and not "Man made induced destruction Global Warming". My rebuttal would be:
1. Fossil fuels: If this was a viable idea the market would address it. There is some movement, I am buying an Elio 83mpg car for commuting. But the same people they rely on (glorious government) is never satisfied with anything, they are now jamming big taxes on "clean" cars because they are not paying their fair share of gas taxes. Make up your mind please. They say, no nukes, wind has not been commercially viable in large enough capacity, and so?
2. I have 13 acres of trees out of 20. Horses need some grass folks. Go stop the deforestation of the Amazon if you care so much, not much happening there.
3. Organic and local is good, when available and affordable. Once again, they need to go fix their government buddies who make it incredibly painful and expensive to go organic.
4. Waste: Again, their government allows companies to run dumps with little or no controls. We have a waste site near us that is well engineered and uses the methane for energy. Bigger issue is all the heavy metals from 100 years leaching into the water table.Look at Richmond Virginia, they have a 800 foot high mountain where the city piles it's crap up, right next to a river they get water from..oopss..
5. Again, your government has blocked off huge areas from grazing, with the desired result of lots og stuff grew, them propmtly caught on fire. Look at Spokane and Lake Chelan for how well all that worked out. Animal production can be done effectively. The Climate change panickers could run a Kickstarted for cow fart bags and cheaper manure converters. A lot of dairys are trying to move to a better management system, with no help from these whiners.
Climate change is a natural progression. They were crying tonight that we had the hottest summer (measured as days above 90 degrees) ever. Yet looking at the chart I see a roughly 6 year cycle for the NW Oregon area,, amazingly, it seems to be roughly 1/2 the solar cycle. Maybe they are connected? Maybe the sun is putting out .00001% more energy? If it is so ad, why do we not pursue a space program with colonization program? I do not believe in the simple solution, it never seems so simple. I saw an article that pointed out that one large container ship uses the fuel and puts out the emissions of 10,000 cars/yr in one 7 day voyage. Why do they not go protest them?

It's all such BS! By the way that is it! Cow dung and more coming right out of the Congressional Building. You should see black and brown goo rolling down the steps, gasp, they're no-longer white. Democrets and Republicans start leaving they turn into crap! Soon DC streets will be covered. Talk about methane gas and oderific decay into carbon! I can see it now, Al Gore(d) trying to lecture the world will the goo lapping at his ankle. The Chinese have mounted humongus fans blowing the carbon laced clouds towards the west coast of the US. BHO is trying to run the country from a dingy in the Atlantic, because the current east coast has become the New Grand Banks.

I'm so old I remember when 'Climate Change' was called 'weather'. And yes, it did change. All the time.

I guess I can go out and get my Challenger SRT8 and floor it as often as I like.

Sea level 10 feet higher by 2065? I remember when the prediction was 2020.
