    Joe, Joe, Joe. What an inventive retort, Richard.

    I don’t vote by party line; I haven’t since George the First – who I still voted for. Liked Clinton the first time around but not the second. Couldn’t get me to support John Kerry but got burned by George the Second who figgered he had some political capital to spend, and spent it on friends like Halliburton (heh heh heh). Last time, couldn’t pin my hopes on an old man and a lame excuse for an enlightened dingbat as Veep.

    But I don’t think I’d be painting anyone in this conversation as Red or Blue. I’m a social conservative but a pragmatist when it comes to alternatives – be they energy or music.

    Use more of your common sense, Joe. If you burn something, it creates smoke. Does the rain knock all the smoky bits down to the ground? Does it become fertilizer for crops and shrubberies? If it goes into your well, does it become a pollutant? If it stays in the air, is it good to have it there so that it blocks the sun a little bit? How much is too much?

    Don’t pigeonhole anyone so quickly. By outlining my shape, you paint yourself by creating a vacuum around you.

    Here are three reasons to start worrying about material issues (read anything but AGW):

    1. Carbon dioxide is a trace element–it comprises less than .035% of the atmosphere. Of that minute number, less than 10% is allegedly caused by man.

    2. The so-called Scientific evidence on which the UN Intercontinental Panel on Climate Change based it’s 1996 has been conveniently lost or destroyed.

    3. 10 consecutive years of cooling, which was not forseen by any of the predictive models produced by the so-called consensus within a cloistered scientific community.

    If this is a political football, blame Gore and his Academy Award winning slide presentation–not Republicans.

    This is a real real good idea. Global farming is a real problem, if we all farm all the dirt will run in the seas and it will make the waters rise and flood the icecap which will make it float to Saudi Arabia until it gets caught in the sand and melts and makes the water go higher yet.

    We must begin painting all asphalt parking lots which, or a light shade of beige, if we are to stop global farming; the asphalt will keep the dirt from washing under, (if you think I’m wrong look what happens in a ditch when it gets a whole bunch of water in it), but asphalt is real real hot when it’s summer and the sun is out and it stays hot so we should use it north of the artic lines and south of there is should be painted, and yes, we could use other colors besides white and a very light beige; I could see some really nice pastels and light gray and brown; who doesn’t like nice, light orange color to park on? Plus, we would create jobs with the need for asphalt and paint, and those would be made in the USA proud American jobs that could not be sent overseas…but they may go underseas if the sea were to rise but this plan can stop that.

    Does anyone know when Lost is coming back on? Everytime I look I see Lost is on, but it’s a repeat like from 2007 or something and I have seen it already. I would like some new ones please. And why is toothpaste so high? People keep losing teeth, and yet the paste costs more and more.

    I love how the very first time they looked to guage O-Zone the “hole” was there but instead of saying “hmmm… that’s unusual” they knee jerk and say it’s a sign of impending doom (there actually is no hole in the O-Zone, there’s a THINNING of the O-Zone in certain areas most notably around the South Pole).

    Further, we do not have a finite amount of O-Zone… every time the sun shines new O-Zone is made. O-Zone isn’t some magical element put here by the hand of god. O-Zone is ionized normal ogygen particles. As the sun hit O-2 atoms it breaks some apart, most of those broken 0-1 atoms reform back into 0-2 but some reform into 0-3 which is O-Zone. If you want to destroy the O-Zone layer you have to find a way to burn out the sun first.

    Last, I grew up in the 70’s and remember the hysteria of global cooling and the coming New Ice Age… then 20 years later some scientists realized the theory was falling apart and there was more money to be made with global warming.

    I’m reminded of Robert Frost, “Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice.” I’ll modify his original poem to say that I don’t care which way the world ends, right now I’m more worried about how our economy ends.

    Joe – your moronic perception is baffleing. I never said at anytime was global warming attributing to any deforestation. You do not have the foresight to interpret what people are saying. I’ll keep it simple for you:

    Trees produce oxygen and we (man) is destroying the one forest where roughly 20% of the worlds oxygen is produced. Not to mention destroying one of the earth’s largest eco systmes.

    Flooding is caused by concrete. We have no control over the changes mother nature makes but we do have control over to much concrete. That answer is our government needs stop funding over population.

    Dear Allan:

    You write that someone is a moron and in the same sentence misspell the word baffling. But, not satisfied with this display of arrogance, ignorance, and chutzpah, you follow it with subject/verb incongruity (“…we…is…”). Ah, but still, you weren’t satisfied and wanted to hit the trifecta of arrogance, ignorance, and chutzpah and low and behold, you were successful, because we now know that the forests of the earth provide oxygen for many “worlds.” Thank you for this information. You’re the first to discover this. We should soon expect to read of your being awarded the Noble Prize for Science.

    Ah, Allan, you’re a piece of intellectual wittiness and wisdom. (You’re forgiven for the typo of systems.)

    The world’s policymakers and scientists have made a critical error in how they count biofuels’ contribution to human-generated greenhouse-gas emissions, according to a paper published Thursday in the journal Science.

    Ok, so some gramatical errors and miss spellings. That’s not what I’m on here for. I’m also working while conversing with your dumb ***. You still haven’t articulated any of the points I’ve posted. However, you are quick to point out my english.

    Great come back.
