CO2 emissions in US drop to 20-year low

[ryan8558]

Well, it seems that CO2 emissions are low and they're blaming capitalism. More plants are switching from coal to relatively cheap natural gas. Less emissions cleaner air and less CO2.

None of the forecasts provided by the "Chicken Littles" of climatology have panned out. They desperately need something (anything) to explain their evident incompetence and the 16-year lack of warming.

Record year. 2008 was also record setting if I recall properly.

Record setting for CO2?

Derp!

Record heat. Why people insist on picking this apart into itty bitty little bits and hoping and praying they can find the fuck up is quite beyond me.

 

[run_silent]

Derp!

This is getting old after the first 150 times.

It's rained in my subtropics for the last two weeks. Surely that proves something.

Probably not.

 

[run_silent]

Probably not.

Yes it does. I doesn't exactly measure the same rainfall we had ten years ago. I'm very, very afraid. WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!

You should be afraid.

Who does, the Chicken Littles?

If you understood the science, you would know that there are many accurate models for the changes we've seen, and that many predictions about the climate and ocean conditions have come true.

And the sixteen years you refer to has actually had a lack of cooling.

Kill yourself now yellowneck, don't risk the global catastrophe!!!!!!!

And all those models are based on the "voodoo science" that came out of East Anglia and from Dr. Mann, which has been debunked as faulty science since the release of their fudged data.

Of course if you are global warming fanatic, then you ignored the facts of that incident just as any religious fanatic does.

I'm surprised those idiots at East Anglia still have a job...then again the university backed the hoax and them.

Unfortunately CO2 doesn't stay within national boundaries and global output is continuing to rise.

You mean the guy who was never proven to have manipulate his data and was then investigated by seven international agencies and again found to have done nothing wrong? You found evidence that they didn't?

Great! Let's hear it.

You're wasting your time with someone who doesn't know the difference between climate predictions and weather predictions, someone who sees no difference between a climatologist and the Channel 5 Accu-Weather host.

Is that better or worse than Trysail who doesn't know the difference between a climatologist and a Liverpool accountant?

We don’t prevent pollution, we export it (along with our jobs).

I was actually talking about Trysail, but yeah, that's even more dumbfounding.

Dear Republicans,

Perhaps you should look to the changed ideas of your own party as concerns Climate Change and what should be done. You see, many of the top 'thinkers' in your party have accepted the science (scary word) and now admit that evidence points definitely toward CO2 as a problem and at Human energy consumption as the factor tipping the balance.

They are now of the opinion that they should support a Free Enterprise solution to Climate change - because Free Enterprise can outpace government in the field.

They are saying that Republicans should take the lead on Climate Change instead of keeping their heads in the sand.

Perhaps if you'd open your eyes, you'd agree and get on with finding the business model that lets you make money, save the economy and take the issue away from those who believe only state action can save humanity from itself.

Dear Republicans,

The Libertarians are invested with enviros, no wonder you hate them as much as the Tea Party and your own green-wing, the Evangelicals...

The only way to go green and save the planet is to unleash free markets to do real Science, not GOVERNMENT Science. It's like asking Jesus to print your biology texts...

One of the things we are trying to do in these lectures presented by the Centro de Estudios sobre la Libertad is to open the eyes of people who have heard so much about the promises of socialists and government interventionists to use political power to improve the economic situation of the poor, the sick, the young, the aged, and all others with whom they seek popularity. Actually, the only way for governments to improve the economic condition of their citizens is to provide equal protection of life, property, and the market place for everyone, while peacefully adjudicating disputes which might otherwise lead to frictions and infractions of the peace. Using the force of government to take from some to provide special privileges for favored groups will never improve the general welfare. Governments that play favorites sow the seeds of their own destruction and reduce the production of both the poor and the rich.

Have you ever seen scientific hurricane computer models? They can't even predict where it will be in three days.
