How long did it take you to find "a blog post" ?  There are millions of them in the blogosphere. Look rinselberg, I have a dream too. Everybody has an opinion. quote Originally posted by rinselberg: ... 7 years have passed, it's just as good. Like a wine that's improved by having been cellar-aged. Even vinegar ages.  Why would I want to read any of your dribble ? Who are you, Mr Green Jeans ?  Mr Green Clean Jeans ? quote Originally posted by rinselberg: Blah, blah, blah ... There you go again, , believing in your green god. Why can't you understand ?  I don't believe in your green god.  Perhaps you think you can go to sleep at night with a smile because you saved mankind, all the animal life, and the plant world.  That's delusional  ! Why  do I respond to your dribble ?  God said "let there be light" and behold, there was light.  Whether you believe in God or not, you can't talk Global Warming into existence. Lies can not become truth. Any time your The Green Manalishi (With the Two Pronged Crown) raises it's head, I am going to mock him/you. You can't even store your record flood water !  You haven't built a new damn in 45 years.  Your farmers are begging for more irrigation water yet you allow water to by-pass the State only to go into the Pacific Ocean. Will that raise the global seawater level. What is the ideal tampereture of the Earth ? What is the fair share of taxes ? Are they paying what Congress decided and made law for ? High speed rail. FAIL ! Billions over budget. Is it a decade past the promised finish date ? If an electric generating windmill falls to the ground, and no one is around to see it, does it make a noise in the [ Green gawd media ? rinselberg JAN 24, 03:43 PM quote Originally posted by cliffw: What is the ideal tampereture of the Earth ? It may be tempting to imagine that the Earth would be improved, from a human perspective, if the Arctic and Antarctic regions would change to a significantly warmer and more temperate climate. Vladimir Putin and some (perhaps even many) other Russians might think this is an appealing prospect, considering the geography and current climatological conditions that characterize Russia. Ice free ports and shipping lanes, year round, in the Arctic. A better climate for oil and gas industry operations close to and above the Arctic Circle. Land areas which are currently tundra, warmed and become suitable for agriculture. But what happens farther south? I'd be concerned about reinforcing feedback loops. There are scientists that have said that as the permafrost that covers large swathes of tundra melts away in a warming climate in the sub-Arctic regions (like Siberia), the consequence has to be the release into the atmosphere of thousands of years worth of "greenhouse gassin'" carbon dioxide and methane. Warming of the Arctic Ocean and the Southern or Antarctic Ocean could result in the sublimation of large quantities of methane hydrate that is currently stabilized because it's frozen. As it sublimates, the expectation is the liberation of methane gas, which would bubble up from the ocean floor and erupt into the atmosphere at the surface of the ocean. That's "greenhouse gassin'". The risk is that the pleasingly warmer Earth of your global warming dreams won't stop warming. It will become unpleasantly hot. cliffw FEB 03, 12:54 PM quote Originally posted by rinselberg: The risk is that the pleasingly warmer Earth of your global warming dreams won't stop warming.
