I''m betting you don''t even know what caused global cooling in the 70s, do you???

Lib versus Con solutions to Global Warming - part deux

Con Solutions:
1. Wait until the roof is burning and half of Florida is underwater, and then place massive amounts of aerosol pollutants into the upper stratosphere using inefficient jet engines. The resultant global dimming reduces sunlight hitting the earth by 30-40%, solving Global Warming almost overnight. Agriculture goes belly up, millions of people starve to death. Millions more die of lung diseases like emphysema and cancer. As Cons would say, ''Acceptable Losses''.

Typical Con solution: wait ''till the scratch gets infected, then cut off the arm.

The punch line?? Cons say Libs want to ''ruin the economy''!!! Shakespeare himself couldn''t write such comedy...

Liberal vs Conservative solutions to Global Warming

Lib solutions:
1. plant more trees (deforestation over the last 100 years is probably responsible for half of the effect of Global Warming). Use the wood for construction rather than fuel.
2. Increase gas mileage standards by 5-10 mpg.
3. For electrical power, go 30% coal/oil/gas, 30% nuclear, 40% alternative energy (current ratios: 72% coal/oil/gas, 20% nuclear, 8% alternatives). There''s enough power in ocean waves in 100 miles of California coastline to power ALL OF CALIFORNIA; using technology ALREADY developed and build and functioning in Hawaii and Europe for 3-5 cents/kWhr. Never heard of it? Considering who runs this country, I''m not surprised.

Lib solutions require some ''central planning'' (also called ''looking ahead'') cuz they take years to have an effect. This smacks of ''socialism'' so Cons turn away, shut the doors, and continue praying...

Sieg Heil Bush...

Has MCVet forgotten that President Clinton made the same decision as President Bush? Seems MCVet knows about Skin Heads. But how much is he being paid to continue the farce that "Global Warming" is real?

Hiel Ban Ki-moon!

CO2Max: So you''re really not interested in finding any common ground in order to improve the human condition. You''re weak, buddy, and you''re no scientist. Al Gore will go down in history as one of the world''s greatest heros. You, however, will not.

Al Gore will go down in history as the Laughing Stock of the early 21st Century. I intend to stick around at least long enough to witness that. He is becoming more irrelevant everyday, and everybody should realize that by now.

I suppose anybody can claim to be a scientist these days. Being a scientist requires more than just being able to spell ''anthropogenic.'' A scientist must be objective and consider the available evidence in terms of the past and interpret these elements of the story to generate a best-fit explanation for what he sees. This is not what is happening in the Global Warming arena. Instead we have politicians who have adopted the reality of global warming, added a scare campaign to it, and promoted themselves as our saviors who know how to save us. People should know better than to swallow this stuff. I advise anybody who doubts what I say to read some history of the earth, learn how the myriad geologic processes work and gain some understanding about how the natural forces work to create the world we live in. What you should understand most of all is that nothing in this world remains the same. But instead, it seems so many believers thing that, if we wish for the world to remain "perfect" like it has been for the past thousand or so years (better take a look before you wish for that), then we can use our magical technology and political will to make it so. It''s utter bunk.

One more thing-I don''t like pollution as much as the next guy.
Just enforce the laws we already have.No new laws please as they bring along a new bureaucrat class.
Also,don''t stick your hand in my pocket,unless we woke up in the same bed.

+ report

Hey Sparky IF, after all you''ve seen the last 6 years isn''t enough for you them your not going to make any difference what so ever. We''re trying to make a decision on the future of this nation here... hiding your head in the sand like the present goof ball has done is NOT the answer. It''s not a question of IF we change but when. Sieg Heil Bush
