GM exec calls Global Warming CROCK

I agree Mac

Whew, thank God all those people bought hybrids this last year. Look at how this has miraculously turned around since a few months ago and all the polar bears were dying because of global warming.

All the things that we do to the environment, and we still haven't caused as much damage as those cavemen did driving their SUVs and poluting with their industrial waste. They brought about the end of the ice age. Stupid cavemen.

What we release into the atmosphere does have the capability to affect things for the worse. When you see clouds in the sky that isn't actually a cloud but smoke and smog from your local textile factory, the result can't be good.

When you PASS GAS that is a contributing factor! If you petal your bike instead of riding in your car for a few miles... you will exhale/pass more harmful elements than what comes out of a modern car's tailpipe!

Don't let this elusive fear or guilt ( essentially religious global warming conviction ) get control over you.

Believe me, I'm not. How many times have I said global warming does exist but it's not anywhere near what the media makes it out to be?

Don't worry about me letting the "elusive fear or guilt" controlling me. Instead, worry that the neoconservative blathering continues to resonate inside my head.

Yep another interesting article.


Welcome to the new Ice Age
http://www.nationalpost.com/opinion/col ... ?id=332289

...Snow cover over North America and much of Siberia, Mongolia and China is greater than at any time since 1966.

...Last month, Oleg Sorokhtin, a fellow of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences, shrugged off manmade climate change as "a drop in the bucket." Showing that solar activity has entered an inactive phase, Prof. Sorokhtin advised people to "stock up on fur coats."

He is not alone. Kenneth Tapping of our own National Research Council, who oversees a giant radio telescope focused on the sun, is convinced we are in for a long period of severely cold weather if sunspot activity does not pick up soon.

The last time the sun was this inactive, Earth suffered the Little Ice Age that lasted about five centuries and ended in 1850. Crops failed through killer frosts and drought. Famine, plague and war were widespread. Harbours froze, so did rivers, and trade ceased.

Mercury leaks found as new bulbs break

Energy benefits of fluorescents may outweigh risk!??

Compact fluorescent lamps - those spiral, energy-efficient bulbs popular as a device to combat global warming - can pose a small risk of mercury poisoning to infants, young children, and pregnant women if they break, two reports concluded yesterday.

..Mercury is a naturally occurring metal that accumulates in the body and can harm the nervous system of a fetus or young child if ingested in sufficient quantity.

For the Maine study, researchers shattered 65 compact fluorescents to test air quality and cleanup methods. They found that, in many cases, immediately after the bulb was broken - and sometimes even after a cleanup was attempted - levels of mercury vapor exceeded federal guidelines for chronic exposure by as much as 100 times.

The study recommended that if a compact fluorescent breaks, get children and pets out of the room. Ventilate the room. Never use a vacuum, even on a rug, to clean up a broken compact fluorescent lamps. Instead, use stiff paper such as index cards and tape to pick up pieces, and then wipe the area with a wet wipe or damp paper towel. If there are young children or pregnant woman in the house, consider cutting out the piece of carpet where the lamp broke as a precaution. Place the shards and cleanup debris in a glass jar with a screw top and remove the jar from the house.

Massachusetts is also ramping up a compact fluorescent recycling program and in May will ban disposal of any intact compact fluorescent lamp in trash.

Zowie.. did you know these things were so dangerous??
