Simple, sacred cows are sacred cowsJogeephus":yu67w3n2 said:Friend sent me this video. It explains a lot of what's going on and the holes in their argument but more importantly why its such a big deal to so many. It says a lot when when one of the founders of Green Peace says its horse hockey. I just can't understand why this wasn't shown on network television in the States. :???:
Chuckie":2mfyvh1o said:If Algore believed it himself, he wouldn't live in the house he lives in or own some of the other things he does. His house uses 20 times the amount of electricity as the average house. 221,000 kWh.
He owns another home in Montecito Villa at 8.75 Millon with 6500 sq ft where Oprah and Kirk Douglas live-ocean front property.
It states that the cars he rides in are left running through his entire speech so they will be nice and cool.
He owns a 100 ft yacht, with 500 gallon capacity for fuel.
He is flown in someone else's privately owned plane every where he goes.
He jumps on the bandwagon of anything going on to make a buck.
And I am sure that the majority of the others live the same way he lives.
Now tell me he believes in Global warming!
It gives people a job, books to write and speeches to give. Just a scheme to make money.

At the time it seemed reasonable because the winters seemed to be a little colder each year and there was more ice and snow each year ( not that there was a lot in Alabama). Maybe the answer to Global warming is more pollution instead of less.
I do believe that climate changes, and that human activity has an effect on that change. But does that mean that we have to stop all of the things we have to do to be healthy and comfortable?
There is not an activity that does not cause a disruption. Wind farms for electricity disrupt migration routs and prevailing winds. Have you ever seen a study showing the gross energy cost of producing the turbines and the controls for them? Steel, Aluminum, plastics, exotic minerals, manufacturing labor? And what about photoelectric generators? What kinds of exotic materials that we do't have in this country do we have to import to produce these photoelectric cells? What happens if there is a disruption in the supply chain and we have taken our simple coal or gas fired generators off line? When was the last time you heard of a new hydro-electric generator being built? Whats the problem there? Some small in eatable fish or snail that's going to die out from global warming anyway?
Mankind, through the grace of God has managed to improve his standard of living over the eons. Now it seems that certain groups want us to back up. Maybe to become one with the rest of nature. Well, maybe that's OK for them, but I enjoy my heat and air, a hot shower, and well cooked meals, and not having to do so much physical work just to survive.
OK rant over, carry on.
