Chef Jim Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 You can speculate about the relative age of SilverNRed, but I really want to know how much an Angels' ticket was in 1993 - let alone 1983 ! I don't know about 1993, but way back in 1983 we didn't even have tickets we just gave them pieces of slate we chiseled off of rocks from the quarry. Yabba dabba doo!

bobblehead Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Worldwide, various governmental and private entities have misused the threat of environmental disaster as a means of imposing a level of planning on all human activities that many found unacceptable. In fact, government, the corporate world and environmental groups should all have faced the real and imminent problems in a clear-headed and practical manner, instead of viewing them through the crazy lens of ideology, be it left or right. Instead, ideology has been placed above need in virtually every case, with the result that the worst possible situation has become true: human activities in the form of greenhouse gas emissions have been allowed to exacerbate a natural cycle, with results that promise to be devastating beyond imagination. This is the most honest thing I have ever read on Global Warming (take out the "worst possible situation has become true" part), and I had to find it on a website for psychics.

Campy Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 While I don't believe in "global warming" (it's more accurately called "climate change'), I fail to see the problem with reigning in consumption of non-renewable energy sources. I also fail to see the problem with reducing the amount of crap (more specifically, carbon) we put into the atmosphere. If a side effect of such actions is a healthier environment, reduced incidences of cancer, healthier oceans, bays, and rivers, and ultimately a healthier planet, what's the problem? Every scientific organization, group, and entity has stated that human actions play a role in the climatic changes we've been experiencing over the past century, save for the American Association of Petroleum Geologists. And they don't have an agenda or anything... But then again, it's kind of hard to take an organization too seriously when they proclaim a work of fiction (Crichton's State of Fear) worthy of their organization's 2006 Journalism Award.

Campy Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Just curious- Increased airborne pollutants (sulfuric acid from coal and nitric acid from auto exhaust) have increased the amount and relative acidity of acid rain - measurements have been recorded indicating that the ph in rainfall can, and has, reached that of battery acid (~0.9). Aside from the harm it causes in ecosystems, when acid rain seeps into the ground it is corrosive to many rock types. When a sedimentary rock as prevalent as limestone, for example, is broken down by acid rain, it leads to faults slipping. No big deal if you're not on a fault line, right? Wrong. Undersea fault slips create tsunamis. In addition to fault slippage, sink holes open in karst topography (which constitutes the topography of much of the south east). No big deal, unless a busy interstate bridge collapses during rush hour in Atlanta and you happen to be on it. Another result is increased volcanic activity. Not living in Hawaii or the Pacific Northwest, who cares, right? Google "Krakatoa" and "yellowstone super volcano" What would be the harm in reducing the amount of pollutants in the air - and in turn make the planet a safer place?

Johnny Coli Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Good Read! http://www.americanthinker.com/2007/04/gal..._consensus.html Good read in that it points out the absurd lengths the anti-global warming, big oil apologist crowd is willing to go to make any of their points stick. You can't on the one hand argue that there isn't a consensus (which there most definately is), then attempt to compare big-oil flunkies to Galileo because he dared to go up against the earth-at-the-center-of-the-universe nuts. Galileo was doing science at a time when religion and superstition ruled. I'm pretty sure most would agree what side he'd be on today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Climate change/global warming isn't just studied by climatologists, and it's effect is measured across many scientific fields. The consensus has been formed via research from marine biologists, ecologists, microbiologists, geologists, epidemiologists and on and on. It's not just someone sticking a thermometer out a window in ten different cities across the globe. There's a review that just came out in The Lancet, one of the oldest and prestigious medical journals in the world. The first line in the abstract (Climate change and human health: present and future risks (Pubmed link. I'll get the whole review when I get to the lab): There is near unanimous scientific consensus that greenhouse gas emissions generated by human activity will change Earth's climate. It reviews the impact global warming is/will have on health risks. Like I said, the effect of global warming and the evidence for it will be measured/studied by more than climatologists.

Gee, really? Do they all have their hands out too (for good reason, as the endeavor is important)? The consensus has been formed via research from marine biologists, ecologists, microbiologists, geologists, epidemiologists and on and on. It's not just someone sticking a thermometer out a window in ten different cities across the globe. Nah, it's 2000 different locations (it used to be 6000), most of which used to be far away from civilization, but that's no longer the case. Add to that a whole bunch of different data that when really analyzed tells us we pretty much know dick, so we're depending on skewed computer modeling and "sky is falling" type theories. Probably not a big money grab, as science is noted for being so far above that. here's a review that just came out in The Lancet, one of the oldest and prestigious medical journals in the world. The first line in the abstract (Climate change and human health: present and future risks (Pubmed link. I'll get the whole review when I get to the lab):It reviews the impact global warming is/will have on health risks. Like I said, the effect of global warming and the evidence for it will be measured/studied by more than climatologists. "The recent (globally averaged) warming by 0.5 degrees C is partly attributable to such anthropogenic emissions." Gee, that "partly" is super-scientific and seems so very concrete. I wonder why they didn't say "mostly?" Oh, because they don't really know. It's not science, it's SPECULATION based on very selective data groupings by people whose research depends on there being big problems. I'm still waiting for someone to explain why NYC's temperatures are significantly warmer while Albany's are slightly cooler. Are they not sharing virtually the same atmosphere, being that they're what, 130 miles apart? I'm sure climate change will have health affects. Some will be positive. Some will be negative. That's pretty much the nature of nature. You know, since the climate has been in constant flux since we've been smart enough to try and figure it out.
