Proof Global Warming Exists!!!!

[President]

The problem is they went about this at the wrong angle, well, semi wrong angle. The dems tried to use the republican scare tactic in that "the earth is going to heat up and it going to cause catastrophe." Which, can be useful considering how dumb the majority of the country it, but it's just too far fetched to believe. I don't know anyone, republican or democrat (with a brain) who believes we should continue pumping toxic chemicals into the air and water, which is what this is really about. Maybe the better line would have been "Company X is killing you by putting Y in your drinking water, stop pollution!" instead of "Lots of companies with carbon emissions may be heating up the earth."

The thing that kills me is there is much that can be done to reduce carbon emissions...which isn't a bad idea no matter which side of the fence you're on.

You don't hear a lot about that. Hmmm.

Biosequestration for example.

Can Cattle Save Us From Global Warming?

Just food for thought.

Damn. Now I want a hamburger.

Interesting read... but simply not raising the cattle would still be much better for the environment than raising just as much cattle as before but on grass.

It seems like a half-hearted idea.

Besides, with the amount of animals being raised for food in this country alone, I seriously doubt it's even realistically feasible to raise them all on grass at this point.

So, while I agree that raising all cattle on grass instead of on feedlots would help, simply not eating the burger would help MUCH more. Of course I realize that as this point in human history that expectation is (sadly) quite unrealistic.

I do my part though! I haven't eaten any meat in over 10 years and I use mass-transit every day.

That's something else.

Why has no program been put in place to have a transit system emulating say, Canada's...in every major metropolitan area in the US?

When I lived in Canada, I lived in a little burg called Milton...probably 50 miles or so from Toronto. I could hop on the Go-Train any time day or night...skip over to Toronto, and catch a bus anywhere I needed to go.

Not only would it provide a way to reduce carbon emissions, it would provide a way for many poorer people to get to work and off welfare. If they wanted to that is, and I'm not getting into that argument.

The US emits nearly half of the world's automotive carbon dioxide.

Government talks a good game, but that's it.

Like I said...LOTS of stuff could be being done...but nobody's really doing much of anything except arguing, lol.

Word up brother!

I'm fortunate enough to be living in one of the few US cities where using mass transit to get everywhere is doable:

Oh you reminded me..

Want to see something 'funny' - Google "causes half of global warming".

Just that part. You'll find like 5,000 things that cause 'half of' Global Warming. Makes me wonder in that science how many halves are in the whole [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Who - besides us - cares what we think?

Oh...and I guess that UK and German scientists must be American by default. Since they corroborate global climate decline, I mean.

Nigel Lawson, Piers Corbyn, Paul Reiter btw...
