Same goes for electric autos... we are simply transferring the pollution to large electric generation plants. Imagine if we stopped using our natural gas / electric furnaces and started using wood, coal, or oil furnaces throughout the country.

We really need a Mr Fusion!

There's lot's of green emphasis on automobile usage but I never hear anybody mention the warming that's caused directly and immediately by air conditioner usage. I guess that might be a less popular subject with the voting public.

    This is correct..  Rome rose to it's zenith right in the heart of
    the last warming spell...  Actually much much warmer then it is today.

    Also worth mentioning.   Measurement sites (ground sites) within
    the US (world?) are typically located in large metro areas.  These
    areas have a bubble eco system which is markedly different from
    the surrounding rural areas.  I live 25 miles north of Raleigh,
    NC.  I see up to a 10 degree (typically 5-6 degrees cooler)
    difference in temperatures moving from downtown to where I live in
    rural Granville county.  I mentioned it to friends and they see
    the same phenomena.  How do I measure this?  I use my Nissan
    Maxima external dynamic thermometer.  Probably not scientifically
    calibrated but it is accurate enough to show trends.

    One other note about ground temperature sites...  check out this
    web site and draw your own conclusions about surface station accuracy.

    The price of wheat has a very strong correlation with the sunspot

    I reckon warming overall is good for the world
    economy, and cooling bad.  If in the next few years the warming
    trend is totally gone, watch the Warming Alarmists do a song and
    dance about CO2.

    Like I said, Svensmark's book shows how the warming is much, much
    better explained by the sun's heliosphere, than CO2.  IOW CO2 has
    a minor, if not nearly non-existent, effect.

    Anyone who studies GW without reading Svensmark, is doing himself
    a disservice.

        Well, I guess if you go over a cliff at 50MPH you might be just as dead 
as if you went over at 100MPH, but I would just as soon get to the cliff as 
late as possible.  After all the histrionics are vented, the biggest problem is 
the uncertainty of what the climate will be like. There will be winners and 
losers, but nobody really knows who they will be.  I can probably live without 
polar bears, but I would not like to deal, or have my children, deal with the 
quick release into the atmosphere of all those methane hydrates that are 
currently locked in the northern tundra.  There may, or may not, be a tipping 
point where the changes will occur too fast for even humans to adapt.

Sent: Friday, 08 August, 2008 14:30 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: 
NMC, NPC; E85 article  You mean we don't also cause sunspots???  I'll bet Al 
Gore sees it differently.  (Tongue in cheek.)  As I understand it, the earth 
has gone through a number of cycles causing major changes in the climate.  None 
of them were attributable to human influence.  While I don't doubt we now have 
an influence climactically on our planet, global warming is a phenomenon that's 
happened numerous times in the past without human influence.  We might be 
speeding it up slightly but who is to say it wouldn't be happening even without 
our interf
        erence? Earth's history is clear in that it HAS happened in the past a 
number of times already.  Vulconism, ocean currents & the sun exert far more 
effect on the climate than mere mortals.  Again, I'm not saying we don't have an
         effect on our climate, but I think the claims & theories are blown way out 
of proportion.  And yes, while it might not be a good idea to floor the accelerator if 
your brakes fail while going downhill, who is to say you won't just pick up speed from 
the effects of gravity?  IOW, who is to say this current change in our climate wasn't 
already happening & the earth was just going about it's normal cyclic change?  
(Albeit with a little, itty-bitty tiny amount of help from humans.)  Regards, Sonny    
If everything is coming your way,   You're in the wrong lane!!!
