Write another kick ass post this morning, but my cordless optical mouse low battery indicator light is now blinking wildly.
Damnit!
So now, the kick ass post will have to wait while I place my mouse in the cradle to recharge.
Update: 5-3-08
Ok, now that my batteries are recharged, let's move on, shall we:
Is this for real? Scientists now predict global warming climate change will stop until at least 2015? How convenient for them along the rest of the community who believe in this bullcrap. Why? Because now, they have seven years to figure out another excuse for the planet getting warmer cooler. Not to mention, seven years to figure out a way to politicize global warming climate change even further, with the possibility of a United Nations "carbon tax" as well. Don't think that will happen? Just wait until Hillary or Obama get into the White House. You'll see.
By the way, check out this sentence contained within the above link:
However, the effect of rising fossil fuel emissions will mean that warming will accelerate again after 2015 when natural trends in the oceans veer back towards warming, according to the computer model.
What the hell? Can any of you read between the lines here? They don't say how long "after" 2015, do they? Nice going, and I caught that immediately. "After" can be 1 month into 2015, or 100 years after 2015. By the way, speaking of emissions, how about all of the greenhouse gas emissions you environmentalist/scientist asshats were willing to generate in order to produce your beloved ethanol? Now you're all backing away from ethanol real quick, aren't you? And yet, we're supposed to take you all seriously in terms of your "forecasts" of global warming. Once again, I say "horse hockey!"
But wait, There's more:
Noel Keenlyside of the Leibniz Institute of Marine Sciences, Kiel, Germany, said: "The IPCC would predict a 0.3°C warming over the next decade. Our prediction is that there will be no warming until 2015 but it will pick up after that."
Of course it will. The earth will warm back up, just like it always has in the past. Plus, it will cool again, too. It's warmed and cooled long before we humans were even around.
He stressed that the results were just the initial findings from a new computer model of how the oceans behave over decades and it would be wholly misleading to infer that global warming, in the sense of the enhanced greenhouse effect from increased carbon emissions, had gone away.
I wonder if these are the same people who generated the computer models related to how wonderful ethanol is, and the low impact it would have on the environment in terms of producing the stuff in the first place.
And then we have this, which reads, "Global warming forecast predicts rise in 2014." Notice the date published, and then notice the caption in the photo ... allow me to provide a screen shot of the little photo and caption for your viewing enjoyment:
Do you even see the hypocrisy in the caption? "Overall warming trend is driven by greenhouse gas emissions."
Again, you environmentalists and scientists both are the ones who were pushing for ethanol, which has been shown will create more greenhouse gas emissions than than the product(s) it intended to replace. Give me a freaking break, folks. Are we really supposed to take all of these whack jobs seriously anymore? I can proudly admit, I never did, and I never will...ever.
Yeah, and when I read, "Global warming forecast predicts rise in 2014," I sit back and laugh again because here we have a group of environmentalists/scientists predicting a "forecast" in not days or weeks, but years; and yet these same people cannot even accurately predict this weekend's weather. Anyone else notice this hoo-haw?
Yeah, let's do everything we can in order to prevent drilling for oil. We'll push ethanol down the throats of society, which will then generate food shortages. As an added bonus we will generate more greenhouse gasses while merely producing ethanol than the technologies we've been told are bad for the environment in the first place.
These are exactly the same dunderheads who are telling us about global warming and how it's all our fault, and how we need to change our standards of living.
Like I said before, it's high time these people just shut up, and slink away back to the dark cave from which they apparently came (after all, if it were up to them, we'd all be living in caves, right?). But then again, if they don't think oil is our future, then fine, I'll go along with that, too providing they all set the pattern.
That's right, show us how it's done. Immediately sell all of your internal combustion engine powered vehicles, ride a horse to work (no bicycles either, oil was used in the factory in one way, shape or form), sell your house and all the factory-made furniture, and live in a tent made from animal skins. Live completely off the grid. That means no solar cells; after all, oil was used in their production in one way, shape, or form. Don't purchase any electronic items, and don't purchase anything made from plastics either. That also means no toilet paper, paper towels, batteries, packaged foods, clothing, or anything else one can purchase from the "evil" capitalistic Wal Mart. Come on, step up, start the ball rolling and show us how it's all done. As soon as you set the standard by following the examples above, I'll follow suit.
I won't hold my breath waiting for that one.
