Carbon Dioxide Level Passes Long-feared Milestone

[PadrePioOfPietrelcino]

If we keep up the corn subsidy, maybe we'll starve enough people in the undeserving third world. Ethanol and fewer humans! Score!

If North Sudan stopped trying to take the tribal lands in Darfur that region alone could solve Africa's food shortage problem too...plus the aquifers in that region could solve the entire Eastern African water shortage problem...

That would be fine, too. I think you missed the point that our wonderful Party o' Teh Environment is just as guilty at the other head on the single 'merican party.

I use to believe in man made global warming when I was young and was taught it in school via fear mongering. What I was taught then was that by now the ice caps would have melted, the seas would rise, there would be much more hurricanes, the hole in the ozone layer would have grown to a apocalyptic size, the rain forest would be gone, the temps would be again apocalyptic, and a lot of other bullflop that never came true.

If man made global warming is true, then the advocates that believe in it must stop treating it like an article of faith, and stop lying to people using apocalyptic fear tactics that do not come true.

I don't know what world you live in but the ice caps have been melting faster than anticipated. Rain Forest depletion exacerbates climate change but is not really a cause or effect. That's a separate issue. As is the Ozone layer. There is a massive hole in the ozone layer. That has gotten much better because we passed legislation that greatly curbed to use of CFCs.

Thanks, conservatives.  I find it amusing that the pro-life, pro-family crowd is apparently so ambivalent about totally flooping over their kids.  

 

Speaking of fucking over kids, of the two of us, who helped put a man in power who thinks it's just peachy to puncture the skull of an unborn child and vacuum the brains out?

Certainly the (subsidized) process of producing batteries for cars will lead to enough deaths amongst the Chinese that there will be less human population to demand products that ultimately result in rising CO2.

Perhaps the current administration intends to set up a barrier between us and the Sun by sending shards of foreigners into the air using drone programs to blow them to pieces.

 

 

I know, we should fly the clean-burning Air Force One on some mission to tell us how the government can solve our climate change problems by giving money to corporate entities!

 

 

What's the carbon footprint of the president's motorcade?

 

 

How much CO2 is emitted to keep the war machine running all over the globe?

 

 

The military will develop cleaner burning fuel-air bombs. We will only incinerate non-combatants if we can minimize air pollution!

 

Holy shit, you are on a roll today :ohno:

Thanks, conservatives.  I find it amusing that the pro-life, pro-family crowd is apparently so ambivalent about totally flooping over their kids.  

 

Why, you're very welcome.  Glad we conservative pro-life, pro-family folks give you such amusement.  Anything to make your day a little more fun.

 

 

It's also really funny how only pro-life, pro-family conservatives drive cars and otherwise put that horrible, awful, evil, evil carbon dioxide into the air.

 

I guess it's comforting to know that all you liberals, leftists (and everyone else who is not conservative, pro-life, or pro-family) live naked in the jungle in carbon-neutral mud huts, and only travel by magical emission-free flying unicorns (not to be confused with those carbon-farting horses).

 

Leftists, of course, never pollute the environment or produce emissions.  We all know how the USSR and Red China were/are models of environmental cleanliness and health.  It's all those damned conservative pro-lifers!

 

 

But, not to fear; lefty pro-abortion Dear Leader's in the White House, so all's well.  (This is the moment the rise of the oceans begins to slow, and all that good stuff.)

I personally blame Barrack for all those record-cold temps we've been having lately.

 

More socialism and government tax-and-spending will save us from all our problems!

[Socrates]

One has to wonder if massive roads built by the Glorious Liberal/Conservative State Apparat had anything to do with this.

 

Oh, no. Gubbmint roads good. Interstate Good. Because Interstate Gubbmint.

 

It's impossible to be a statist and an environmentalist.

 

So there would be no system of roads in the Anarcho-Capitalist Utopia?

 

Interesting.

Oh, but killing babies is Good for the Planet!

[Starets]

some of us are skeptics of "global warming" because we are old enough to remember "global cooling" from the 70s. Did you know we ran out of petroleum reserves in the mid 90's? I must have missed that too.

[BG45]

I don't think you hate the environment.  But I do know that on aggregate your voting habits do not reflect any sort of overriding concern for the long term impact of rising global temperatures than that global warming denial is endemic among conservatives.  That's just what the hard data has said consistently.  

 

So you're saying as a pro-life, pro-family moderate I need to stop voting for so many pro-life Democrats and vote instead for Pro-Life Republicans instead?

 

(Point of Order:  I have voted 3rd party in 3 of 3 Presidential elections I've been in.  I've voted for pro-life Democrats for House and Senate and voted against climate change denying Republican contenders, including one whose Senate campaign I worked on.)

 

In all seriousness, watching a glacier partially collapse in a video was one of the most awe inspiring but frightening things I've ever viewed.

I've read many conflicting accounts on the hole in the ozone repairing itself. One suggested it's merely a natural event which is over time is a state of flux.

I've conflicting accounts on the ice caps melting or refreezing.

If you don't care for my examples it doesn't matter there are many examples of false prophecies by the false prophets of climate change. The movement simply doesn't have my trust, nor do of the other environmental prophets of doom. I understand that for others the repeat false predictions dont matter. But for me it's why I don't believe.

If I were to buy into theory I would wonder what factor burning the bodies of all the millions of babies, who's mass-murder you support, attributes to climate change and emissions.

I remember global cooling in the 70s....
