........if this CO2 thing is so horrendously bad, why are the liberals and the Democrat party not getting the government to build HUGE carbon suckers to pull all this carbon out of the air?  We all know why.......it is NOT about "climate change"..........

Sick~o. I will rejoin the climate change argument next week (maybe this weekend). I am going to San Diego, meet up with friends with whom known forever, and we're going to the MNF game. (my company has club season tix).


So don't expect too much out of me until Wednesday.

Even if man made global climate change *sigh* (how stupid does that sound) is real. There is nothing we can do now to stop it. The only thing we can do is reduce emissions that will hang around in the air long after that put there. Nothing we can do will stop the "change". The only you could do now is mitigate the effects through sea walls and moving populations away from soon to be blah hahaha, (sorry can't say this with a straight face) inundated shorelines.

It doesn't take much of a move up or down the pH scale up or down to negatively impact sea life. A slide up or down one point can have deadly effects on the oceans.

Oh, if you read the data correctly, rises in temperatures come before rises in C02 and methane.

The other thing that is a pollutant from combustion energy is nitrogen. While already being a large portion of our atmosphere the extra nitrogen does compound the problems from the nitrogens (fertilizer) from run off. If you don't believe check out the Ocean Deadzones.

Anyways I don't know why you are arguing this anyways. We were talking about ND being the answer or not, and sucking on the gov't teet. Reply...

Not so. Man is responsible for about 1/100th of 1% of all CO2. Plants soak up CO2.


There were times when CO2 levels were much higher than they are today. Plant life flourished.

Ah, CO2 is not harmless. CO2 raises the acid levels of the water that absorbs it. The ocean is increasingly turning more and more acidic.

While the process of burning the fossil fuels maybe cleaner than ever before, extracting them is not pollution free. Reply...

Another thing to consider is all of the other products that are made from oil. Rubber, plastic, paint, tar and so-on. If you look around you right now, just about everything you see is a petrolium product. The tires on your car. The roads that you drive on. All the plastic in your car. The shingles on your roof. The lenolium on your floor. Your carpet. The keyboard that you are typing on. Your kids toys. Your asprin. The bottle that they are in. Just about every food package and container in your fridge. I could go on and on. Windmills can't spit this stuff out and never will. We are dependant on oil and nothing can change that. Reply...

These coal plants and refineries create little or no pollution. Just CO2 and steam. That’s why they are trying to make the argument that CO2 (a harmless gas) is destroying the planet. They can’t point to any real pollution that we would all agree is pollution.



Yes, there is an energy crisis. One thing that is quite clear about liberals is that they create a crisis and then offer a solution for it. Their solution is ALWAYS power for them. From Lenin to Hitler to today’s liberal fascists. Democrats created the banking crisis and then offered the solution (the takeover of the banking industry). More power for them. Democrats created the healthcare crisis, then offer the solution of the takeover of the healthcare industry. More power for them.



Democrats created the energy crisis by not allowing drilling or allowing new oil refineries or power plants to be built. The solution that they offer is to make us dependant on them for energy.  More power for them.


Once they have checked off banking (and houseing), healthcare, and energy from their list they will move on to food. The cap and tax bill and biofuels go a long way to creating a food crisis.

Oh, I completely against cap and trade or any legislation like it. We need everything in our arsenal. The other upside to that is it helps with produce manufacturing jobs, something this country is sorely missing. Reply...

My numbers are just equations. I did the math and got the numbers.

Anyways, pollution does effect our lives. Remember back to the 70's and 80's when many lakes and rivers were unsuitable for swimming or even fishing because of pollution. There needs to be a differential in distinction between pollution and global warming. BTW, I got an article about NOAA scientist/meteorologists being censored. I will post that later.

You can say that democrats didn't mean it and republicans meant it. Well the republicans haven't done much either.

All I am saying is energy is becoming a crisis and while we bicker about politics, we have a crisis in every sector of energy. From production to the infrastructure, and nothing is being done.

" For nearly 40 years you republicans and you democrats have said we will tackle our dependence on foreign oil energy."


Democrats say it but they don't mean it. They know that cheap and abundent energy is the fuel of capitalism. They want to destroy capitalism. They want to crush it. This entire nonsense about the environment is just a tool to do that. They want to control the energy so that they can eventually ration it and then snuff out capitalism. The green movement should be called the red movement because so many of the people behind it are communists.


Here is how they do it. They start producing energy with the wind mills. They make coal plants and drilling for oil illegal. They make nuclear illegal. Then the only place you can go for energy is the government. What the government gives you, they can also take away and they probably will. Mark my words. It is the same template that they are using for healthcare.


Your kids and mine will probably be so poor that they will not be able to afford an electric car.

"Besides if your citing pollution then you should cite the pollution in the creation of power plants, drilling, mining, and creation chemicals used in refining. "


Nobody is saying that they don't create pollution. What I will argue is that the impact on our planet and our lives is zero.


Your numbers could very well be correct and perhaps I need to do some more research. Remember if you got your numbers from a liberal source, liberals do lie. In fact they don't know how to tell the truth. Lying is second nature to them.


I have to believe that if these wind mills could generate a profit, private companies all over would be building them without a penny of money from the government.

Oh, and 2357 tons of coal equals 13932.111 megawatts if you cared to know. Which is enough to power about 1200 homes for one year. Reply...

Blm the wind mills of even 20 years are antiquated. Much like the old solar panels. You are failing to see the amount of power that is generated by these turbines in one year, they would out do the energy it took too make and maintain them. Besides if your citing pollution then you should cite the pollution in the creation of power plants, drilling, mining, and creation chemicals used in refining.

A 5 mega watt which can produce 15 million megawatts in a year. When you convert one kilo watt to BTU you get 3142 BTU's. When you convert your BTU's (3142X15 million) you get 47130000000. Now you take your BTU's and convert them into diesel/heating fuel. One gallon of Diese/heating fuel equals approx 139,000. 47130000000/139,000, and you get 339,820 gallons of diesel/heating fuel.
Now we will use coal short tons.... Take your BTU's (47130000000) and now divide them by 19,880,000, you will get 2357.91475 short tons of coal. So now that the numbers are sitting here for everyone to read, are going to say that it still take more energy to make then the wind mill turbine will make? Even if you halved or quarted the amounts it is still an absurd assumption that you make.

You are using some pretty bogus arguments here. If you will go back and re read my comments, I never said we need to quit using the coal, gas, or oil. However the fact of the matter is that coal, gas, and oil, like and other combustion driven energy, are very inefficient. Nor do I believe that wind power/solar/thermal/hydro/or tidal as they sit today on their own will NOT solve our problems. I am not worried about global warming or pollution, as much as I am concerned about the energy crisis's that will happen in the future. For nearly 40 years you republicans and you democrats have said we will tackle our dependence on foreign oil energy. Meanwhile it will be my generation and my kids that will be suffering your consequences.



Electric cars like it or not are going to be the rule in car manufacturing over the next twenty years. The Chevy Volt will be out very soon, and Wind Power will be used
