An Inconvenient Diagnosis? Anthropological Global Warming; Fact or Fiction?

Answer 1

I attended the Focus the Nation at Sierra College on 1-31-08. The event was the 2% Solution, a 2% reduction over 40 years to solve GW. Oil is a nonrenewable resource and we are running out-but not soon - $30 Gal for gas. The 2% Solution is ok for the USA for a 10 year plan to cut 20%. But over those 10 years, we have to be building renewable energy and about that time, we can cut an additional 20%. This should get us from importing any oil. We must have a pollution surcharge where we pay the real price (health effects, GW and cleanup) for oil, NG, coal, cigarettes, Cooling Towers, Cars, trains and airplanes. Humans have to put some of this nonrenewable into renewable energy like small hydro-electric dams, concentrating solar power plants, wind and wave machines, nuks, and geothermal. With the peak of oil in the 1970’s, peak NG in the 1990’s, having mined cheep coal, the peak of ocean fishing in the 1980’s, and the peak of uranium in the 1990’s, humans must stop procrastinating and make real changes to keep earth sustainable including in the energy debate, finance and regulation.

Many of mankind’s advancements cause earth surface to warm, destroy the ozone layer, kill off endanger species, heat cities, and in some way cause more dramatic destruction.  Blacktop and buildings (roads, roofs and parking lots-heat cities), deforestation (air pollution, soil erosion), duststorms (increase hurricanes and cyclones, cause lung diseases), fires (cause pollution, mud slides, and deforestation), refrigerants (like CFC's) and solvents (including benzene destroy the ozone layer raising skin cancer rates) and plastics; cars, airplanes, ships and most electricity production (causes pollution including raised CO2 levels and increased lung and other diseases); these human problems we must fix to keep life on earth sustainable! Humans have destroyed half of the wetlands, cut down nearly half of the rain forest, and advance on the earths grasslands while advancing desertification which increases duststorms.

The result is:  change is on the way, we just do not know what changes (where and when). Look beyond the hype, beyond the weather, beyond a quarterly report and beyond today. President Bush has made a choice of energy (ethanol) over food and feeding the starving people around the world; this is a choice China has rejected. The fact is Bush wants to buy your food to send to starving people since our is not available.

Over the next 90 years carbon dioxide is projected to skyrocket as human’s burn more fossil fuels. The problem is, the oil will be gone in 30 years at present rates of consumption without projected increases. We have to come up with what will take its place. Again we have to cleanup our mess. One of the big problems we have is at some time Yellowstone will blow its top again, as the magma move closer to the surface, creating a nuk winter. After that we will not have to worry about the destruction of the ozone layer.

But with that we must understand we have never seen what is now happening before. CO2 has never lead to temperature change, but temperature change has led to increases in CO2. The models have to be made as we go along with current evidence! But again adding a small amount of CO2 to the atmosphere enlarges the earths sun collection causing warming; increase water in the atmosphere and it forms clouds cooling earth but sometimes causing flooding. Even natural events are warming earth and causing destruction. The sun has an increased magnetic field causing increases in earthquakes (more destruction), volcanoes (wow, great destruction), and sun spots. Lighting produces ozone near the surface (raising air pollution levels). The USA Mayor's have taken a stand and I believe are on the right track, we can have control and can have economic growth. The sun is available to produce energy, bring light to buildings and makes most of human’s fresh water. Composting is the answer to desertification. New dams are the answer to fresh water storage, energy and cooling earth by evaporation, we need many small ones all over (California needs 100 by 2012 and has not even started).

That is why I founded CoolingEarth.org, a geoengineering web sight where you can learn more about earth, the atmosphere, and how to sustain life on earth’s surface.

Answer 2

Fact.

Another Fact is that if you send out enough deceptive mass mailers, you can get people to sign up for almost anything.  The OISM isn't even remotely close to a legitimate climate science (or polling) organization and their deceptive practices are textbook cases of deceit.

Answer 3

Yes, it is indeed obvious that the Government have kept a hand over the scientists mouth, not to spill the beans more than they already have (remind you of anything? Area 51???)

My best guess is that their economics and profit comes from oil, and stuff un-recycleabale... meaning if the truth actually got around that there is a Global Warming and that we are going to die in the year 2012... what would people do??? Think about it.

People would start panicking, the precentage of suicides will propably will go way up, and the population of major cities of decrease, meaning the profit and the $$$ the government is making would all go to h**l.

Then there will be extreme panick where people will be moving out to Nature-Friendly places (not a lot left) leaving the government with nothing, nada, zero.

But many of this has been considered that we are going to die in the year 2012, the thing why the population isn't extremely decreasing is because many people are on the side of the scientists who still have blindly closed their eyes, and turned their backs to this, while the other is still waiting to have the say "Yes, its true" from the SCIENTISTS and the GOVERNMENT...

Whoopsie-do for the government, because like Area 51, eventually the truth will go around, if it ever will, because we still don't really know if there are Aliens in Area 51 or not, or if they are still trying to transform the bodies from Area 51 to Area 57, who the h**l knows? So, yes, the government is keeping their mouth shut... and go ahead... arrest me ... I got something to back-fire on you government... my RIGHTS of FREEDOM OF SPEECH!!!
