First we heard word that Bush was going to completely give into the Global Warming nutter butters. Now we hear that it might not be as bad as we’d feared. Either way, even if we win the White House this year, it’s only a matter of time before the eco-freaks cripple this country’s economy thanks to McCain’s maverick streak. And this jerk will get rich(er) off it.
Feel better? Yeah, me either. Here’s some other global warming news.
QandO covers how we might have a chance to yell stop at an upcoming conference. Not like it will help much.
More from the Corner. Another QandO, China takes the top CO2 spot. Let’s see if they cut back.
I don’t understand why you folks have to dismantle global warming like you do. I mean that it is happening is a pure fact. The causes (e.g. CO2, pollution, etc.) ‘have been endorsed by at least 30 scientific societies and academies of science, including all of the national academies of science of the major industrialized countries’.
Could you post a few good answers why global warming is not happening and we can simply ignore it? Down here in Georgia we had so little water like we have never before and Lake Lanier ran almost out of water. So I am not going to ignore it any longer as the signs are too obvious to miss.
I mean when Bush/Cheney announced that Iraq had WMD and was linked to Al-Qaeda (both have been officially WRONG) ya’ll jumped up got your guns and ran out the house towards iraq.
I call this double standards
If you read through the website, you can see that I don’t deny that the globe is warming (despite the recent cooling trends we’ve seen since the early 2000s). The question is whether it is anthropogenic or not. I’ve actively looked into this issue and I’m completely unconvinced. That doesn’t mean that I would disparage the intent of people who believe it is caused primarily by man, I’m sure they’re trying to do what they believe is best for the planet, but I disagree. However, I would call into question the legitimacy and the character of the most radical proponents like Al Gore, someone who is actively profiting from the hysteria he is inducing.
As far as Iraq goes, the intelligence and consensus was just as large as it is for anthropogenic global warming– if not stronger given that Saddam positively had chemical and biological weapons. It was just a matter of whether he had destroyed the stocks he had or if he had continued to produce them. Of course if we want to go all the way back to the beginning of the Iraq war then we need to examine what a consensus of learned people really means.
quote:”that Saddam positively had chemical and biological weapons” well we knew that too well as we had given those to him, huh?!
We could have known if the stock we gave him was all used up or not. Just tak into consideration all people he killed during the war in Iran using these chemicals. http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2002-09-30-iraq-ushelp_x.htm
In relation to your comment that the “consensus was just as large as it is for anthropogenic global warming– if not stronger” I’d strongly disagree with this. As I stated before most of the world know that global warming is happening and that we contribute a lot to it. In the case of the iraq war it was only us the US who wanted to go there (besides our great friends the Brits) – so we against the rest of the world. I think there is a huge difference.
In addition I don’t understand why we aren’t fighting in Saudi Arabia then? I mean most of the terrorists were from there and they don’t have a democracy either? This video should shed some more light on this – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pF5MhzFdBsU
Do you wanna see someone else who is causing or trying to cause hysteria and trying to profit from it?! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nA1MwOE86U
Using these war pictures in an ad is really bad. Its just causing hysteria and creating a fear about something that doesn’t have to be feared – Russia. On top of that most of us won’t be able to find Georgia on a map (besides the US Georgia) anyways.
Thanks,
Chris
The link you just provided states flatly that we did not provide Saddam with chemical or biological weapons.
The same claim is ironically presented in Moore’s ‘Dude where’s my country’, followed quickly by documentation stating the same thing your link does– that we did not provide him with WMD. Saddam was an ally, so Iraq had the same sort of privileges that other nations medical programs had.
You’re mistaken about both support for the war and the context of what I said. I stated that Saddam’s WMD programs were well-documented and it was an accepted fact in the intelligence community. I never said that the consensus response was war. However, it wasn’t just the brits who backed us.
Attacking Saudi Arabia makes no sense either, unless you’ve now endorsed the idea that nationality somehow equates directly to the actions of an individual? In that case shouldn’t we be profiling anyone who is a Muslim, as a shocking 100% of the 9/11 attackers were Muslim. It’s ludicrous.
Yes, why should we worry about countries invading each other if most people can’t find them on a map, right? It’s not like small conflicts have ever boiled over to start two world wars or anything. I would talk to Viktor Yushchenko, Mikheil Saakashvili, or Alexander Litvinenko before I put Russia in the ‘nothing to worry about’ column.
It\’s a shame that our Party nominated John McCain this year.
He supports the same Carbon Credit bull crap that Obama does.
More of the same democratic policies of fear mongering.
Don\’t blame me – I voted for Ron Paul.
Well, he’s better than Obama.
Searched global warming in msn but for some reason found this page.great info
Surely now the world is in recession and we need new jobs you should be a tiny bit grateful for the global warming ‘myth’ as Obama claims he will be investing in green technology and creating lots of new jobs in the sector… all this at a time where jobs are getting really tough to find. Am I to cynical?
Not a horrible point on the surface but compare the projected economic impact of follies like Kyoto to the supposed benefits.
