What I'm Doing To Stop Global Warming

What do you think of John McCain's selection of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate?



According to the global left, the evidence is in: The earth is warming, and it's all your fault. Don't blame the sun. The giant ball of fiery gas responsible for all climate change over the past few million years isn't the problem. It's you. In particular, it's you Americans, you big-spending, high-on-the-hog, corporation-supporting, First World gluttons with your shiny gas-guzzling sports cars and central heating.

Well, global left, your words have finally hit home. I finally realized that correlation does equal causation after all. As one of the pig-Americans you so despise, I pledge to do my utmost to mitigate the threat of global warming.

And so, without further ado, I henceforth dedicate myself to achieving the following goals to aid Mother Earth:

-- EAT COWS. Turns out, cows are the climate's worst enemy. Cows, it seems, are culpable for 18 percent of greenhouse gases. Their cud-chewing, flatulence and burping create giant clouds of methane. All this time, we thought the cattle were our mammalian friends. But, fools that we are, the cows outsmarted us. While we milked them, they pursued their long-term strategy of world domination.

So the question becomes: What can we do to fight the global onslaught of the bovine herds? Some have suggested changing their diet to prevent indigestion -- the so-called "Pepto Bismol Strategy." Others have proposed recycling cow manure, with sloganeers already hard at work: "Cow Poop -- The Crappier Hemp." Still others have recommended eating less meat, thereby decreasing the production of baby cows -- "Abortion: It's Not Just For People Anymore."

I say this looming threat must be handled -- and handled immediately. I believe Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi when she says, "Now is time to act; the future of our country, indeed our entire planet, is at stake." I stand with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid when he explains, "We cannot afford to defer action."

It's the cows or us, people. If we eat them faster than they can reproduce, we can sleep easy at night. Hamburgers are the answer. Steaks. Barbecue ribs. Vegetarians, dissent here isn't patriotism -- it's global suicide.

So let's roll. Or rather, let's put them on a roll. Continued...

Subject: Help Stop Global Warming
After burning of fossil fuels and deforestation leading to higher carbon dioxide concentrations the next biggest Greenhouse culprits are covered landfill emissions, and the newer style fully vented septic systems. Sweetfilter Residential Units Reduce Your Fully Vented Septic System Greenhouse Emissions and Odors Overnight. Only Zeocarbon Sweetfilters (registered with the USPTO) remove Odor, CO2, and other Greenhouse Gases by as much as 18% on a lb. per lb. basis. Typically, after 5 years of work, the Zeocarbon is returned to the soil as a nitrogen rich ornamental plant fertilizer.

Controllable Global Warming?
"Just believe, shut up, drink the koolaid so I can restrict your freedoms a little bit more.

But wait, don't forget to open the coffers so I can take for me and mine. Then I can go find something else to scare you into living a little more fearful and cower under my fat belly"--Big Brother.

Here's are some thoughts to ponder on Global Warming:

1) The Sun--ever notice the temperature drops and rises a bit more than 1 degree every 24 hours?--I like Dennis Miller's jab flicker--"1.8 degrees? I can futs with my thermostat at home for hours and could not detect the difference"

2) High tech industrial temperature measurement devices usually have an uncertainty of about +/- 1 degree. How much data do you think in the last 200 years has been collected with better uncertainty? Better yet, what do you think the uncertainties are in temperature extrapolations from ice core samples to obtain historical temperatures?

What uncertainties has a single one of the alarmist's notes been repeated to the public by the MSM?

3) The Earth has been much colder and much hotter than we've experienced in the last 200 years--Greenland--look it up.

4) CO2 is heavier than air--150% heavier. How exactly is it hanging around the upper atmosphere to hold in the heat? Its not--it flows into the oceans like a river and feeds the f&fauna on the way down to the sea then feeds the ocean's f&fauna.

5) Every bit of ICE CORE data shows CO2 FOLLOWS global climate change--it drops AFTER the temperature gets cold and rises AFTER the temperature gets HOT. Kind of funks up the whole cause and effect thing.

6) There is not a MINORITY in disagreement over what is causing the temperature rise. I understand 1000's of scientists world wide have signed a petition stating that the climate change cannot be attributed to human behaviors.

However, there has been a lot of duplicity from the International Community and the Left over who authored parts of various reports and major lies from Gore showing a 20' increase vs. the actually predicted 1' increase in sea level.

Sort of funks up the merit of their arguments when people start multiplying effects by 20 and saying "People are dying." as they did today for MSNBC report on Bush's Global warming moves.

Yeah, people are dying--of malaria--by the millions--DDT anyone? Where's the equal time?

7) There is no debate--for example in a report just today covering Bush's weak knees on Global Warming MSNBC simply says stuff like, "Scientist say by 2050 we need to reduce our greenhouse gas emisions by X and so."

I thinks it's called fait tu compli (sp?) meaning "already sold"--there is no debate--no other side. Just as Al Gore told us. They actually think they can predict how much we must reduce to get the temperature down. They can't even tell us what the weather will be like tomorrow based on CO2.

8) Net carbon emissions to date every year equate to something around a thousandth of a percent of the total atmosphere. That's increased our temperature by how much again?

Where is the experiment with a jar, a heat lamp and a 1/1000th increase of CO2 to show the increased temperature in the jar?

Bueler? Bueler? Anyone? Bueler?

9) Why is the ice sheet in Ant-artica getting more abundant?

It's just sad--so sad people don't take science seriously in high school.

When the alarmist climatologists can get their model to predict accurately say 1 year from now--then I'll believe anything they say has merit.

Today, I think the whole lot of them are whores for federal and international funds and use scare tactics to get you and I to foot the bill for their holiday jobs.
