Global Warming Issue Heats up Fueled by Politics, Commerce, Myths, and Untruths

Thursday, March 01, 2007

NOWCAST - Did March roll in as a lion or a lamb? I don't think you could classify it as an angry lion but it could have been a white lamb in some locations with spotty low elevation snowfall overnight. More rain returns late tonight and Friday.

SEVEN DAY TREND - Back to more seasonal weather Friday through Thursday with rain and much warmer temperatures. The weekend could see 60 degree temperatures with some sunshine with only a small chance of rain.

OUTCAST - The Global Warming issue is not a religion and is not to be based on morals as Al Gore rants and raves about. It is a scientific issue and needs to be dealt with accordingly. There is a lot that we do not know about science and long term climate trends. Experts are learning everyday and it should be approached on a very conservative level until more is understood. Not to say that improving our way of living by using less energy and such should be a priority but to initiate harsh laws, taxes, and penalties on the public by our lawmakers is nothing short of raising anarchy. Common sense needs to prevail and events like the five western governors going off and making their own pact is a prime example of not.

Carbon Footprint? Just as I predicted tax authority's are getting close to charging you for the air your breathe now that global warming is the gold standard of todays top issue. Experts say the average American has a footprint of 18 and charging ten dollars for each ton of CO2 you expel through your daily living habits is how one proposed tax may come to pass. If you are a business person and travel and have a large house, overweight, drive big SUV's etc. you could easily have a CF of 400 with equals $4,000 in annual taxes. Don't believe me? They are talking about it folks. And they also want to set the atmosphere thermostat. Read the ridiculous here

What is your energy consumption and utility bill? You probably watch your power consumption and winch when you have to dig deeper and deeper each month to make ends meet. Oscar Gore has been criticized over his large utility bills at his 10,000 square foot mansion pictured here. Read here. He really does live a higher life style that one would think for such an advocate he tries to come across. In all fairness he does pay some higher cost in exchange for "green" energy sources through a energy clearing house Generation Investment that by the way he is chairman and has partial ownership. According to writer James Tarnato , In other words, he "buys" his "carbon offsets" from himself through a transaction designed to boost his own investments and return a profit to himself. To be blunt, Gore doesn't buy "carbon offsets" through Generation Management, he buys stocks." Curious again what Al Gore's utility bills are? Click Here.

Now that the Academy Awards are over and Oscar Gore got his award, the debate is over and it is time to act he says. Did you know that in all of his millions of miles traveled pushing his cause, he has been offered over and over again to debate climatologists on the topic of global warming? He refused all offers. I wonder why? Did you know that he requires up to $150,000 for each speaking engagement. Multiply this by the thousand or more he attended and he has stashed some significant petty cash. This is in addition to the other royalties he has amassed from his film and books. He is now a very wealthy man since the 2000 bid for President. With this war chest some think he may run for President in 2008 and try to knock off all contenders. And with global warming as his platform, he will deliver us from the ill fate of doom.

Don't get antsy over it - the other day I passed along a piece about bumble bees, well now it appears ants can adjust to climate change. Click here.

Global Warming Experts- There are several individuals that have a very good handle on global climate change and rebuke a lot of what Oscar Gore has to say with good scientific data. If you would like to study up on this and become more informed on the issue, I have done a Google search on each and all you have to do is click on their name and select items to browse. Fred Singer, William Gray, Pat Michaels, Roy Spencer, Max Mayfield, and Michael Crighton.

OFF TOPIC - What a weird world this is becoming. I purchased a new refrigerator last fall and have noticed it makes a loud knocking noise at times. Not like previous refrigerators when they go through their defrost cycle etc. This is loud! So I called the SEARS repairman who came out today. He said it is the rushing of the new 'freon' flowing back up from the compressor with such force due to the smaller molecular structure from the old freon and causes this rumbling noise. He said ALL brands do this and this is new in the past year or so. This is in turn to reduce global warming he said and to blame Al Gore on this one. Gads! Isn't just about everything blamed on global warming? Anyone else have a new frig that makes a rumbling noise at times?

I get a chuckle [though I am certain that you don't!]about your 'rumbling frig'. Your Sears repair person is just telling you what his superiors have been directed by their superiors, ad infinitum to say. So this freon molecular structure BS makes for a good cop out, coupled with the current global warming fad, for an engineering design or manufacturing screw-up. If I was you I would press the issue with Sears and make them show you the 'science' behind their claim.
