Global Warming-"Greatest Scam in History"

[Old Texan]

I never said tax. Neither did any candidates. There's plenty of money that can be directed towards alternate energy sources. Kinda funny how you have no problem spending 35 billion dollars a month on a non renewable war, and you don't mind borrowing more money than any nation on earth, you don't mind giving away our resources such as the stock market and american ports, you don't mind a blind eye to illegal immigration but yet, this pesky energy thing for the future gets under your skin?
Your fat legged fraulein candidate wants to tax hell out of oil company profits. She wants "her" government to take the money for research. Oh yeah I forgot, you don't favor private sector research in the socialist Utopia.
Other than that point, the remaider of your rambling is typical low content spewing driven by your hatred of reality and those that actually run the world.

Nuclear power plants and hydrogen cars should be the way to go. The public has a lack of knowledge on how safe a "new" nuclear plant is and I would vote to put one in my town no problem. From what i understand we even utilize the waste now and no emissions.
As bag face said there is tons of money to be made here, it's always about the money.
Whether or not we will run out of oil is really irrelevant at this point. Look at who controls it and the price. Do we in the USA really want this. I have maybe God willing another 50 years on this planet, but my daughters another 90 or so and I want not only the planet here, but the red, white and blue also..flourishing.
Good post Bigg. I completely agree. If I have another 30 years I will have done well. But I have a 26 year old Son who is planning on child or two, and I too would like my Son and my grandchildren to enjoy the planet and the USA as I have.

What Tex, the Oil Companies aren't making enough profit? Do you expect the Oil Companies to invest in alternate energy? Do you expect Oil Companies to support better Eco cars? Do you expect the Oil Companies do do anything other than make as much profit as possible? Expecting Big Oil do anything other than the status quo, is similar to expecting GW Bush to be able to pronounce the word "Nuclear" It ain't gonna happen.
If you have it your way, nothing will change with regard to kicking our addiction to foreign oil, better fuel economy, less pollution, etc. etc. etc. BTW, my little Honda Civic SI, as you called it my Eco status symbol car, will smoke your big tank SUV across the railroad tracks, from 0-60, 1/4 mile and 60-0, and get me over 30 mpg on the highway, not to mention fill-ups, even at CA's $3.50 a gallon price for Premium, at under $40.00.

This graph was interesting. Historical levels of CO2 have been good for the planet. Plants seem to like more CO2. More plants add more fuel for animals. In fact, some of the ice ages had 4 times more CO2 than there is today. With todays doomsday predictions, shouldn't the planet have been burning up? The more likely suspects are sun activity, earth axis cycle variability and orbital distance cycles.

Late Carboniferous to Early Permian time (315 mya -- 270 mya) is the only time period in the last 600 million years when both atmospheric CO2 and temperatures were as low as they are today (Quaternary Period ).
Temperature after C.R. Scotese http://www.scotese.com/climate.htm
CO2 after R.A. Berner, 2001 (GEOCARB III)
There has historically been much more CO2 in our atmosphere than exists today. For example:
During the Jurassic Period (200 mya), average CO2 concentrations were about 1800 ppm or about 4.7 times higher than today.
The highest concentrations of CO2 during all of the Paleozoic Era occurred during the Cambrian Period, nearly 7000 ppm -- about 18 times higher than today.
The Carboniferous Period and the Ordovician Period were the only geological periods during the Paleozoic Era when global temperatures were as low as they are today. To the consternation of global warming proponents, the Late Ordovician Period was also an Ice Age while at the same time CO2 concentrations then were nearly 12 times higher than today-- 4400 ppm.
According to greenhouse theory, Earth should have been exceedingly hot. Instead, global temperatures were no warmer than today. Clearly, other factors besides atmospheric carbon influence earth temperatures and global warming.

Texan, you ignorant slut. Exxon could fund global research with their catering bill. To hell with them paying a little extra tax for the good of us making them vastly wealthy. Maybe they can move their traiterous ass to Dubai with Halliburton? That'll be quite a flight for you to suck them off but, you'll live.

Dumb ass fcking communist.
Big evil oil makes a 10% profit, if they raise taxes on the oil companies the CONSUMER pays it, imbecile.
The tax burden on gasoline already far exceeds evil oils profits.
What other kind of logic can you expect from some left wing loon that believes in communism.

General info for the nitwit leftists.
Hydrogen fuel cells are a minimum of twenty years away for autos, my brother is in the business.
Solar, not affordable.
Wind, not affordable
Batteries? Where the hell do think the energy comes to charge them?
Nuke, GREAT source of clean energy, not a tree hugging lib homo that will let that happen though.
New refinery? Great break out 20 billion to satisfy you eco freaks.
Drill ANWR? YES!
Drill offshore? YES

This is why we love to debate an elitist windbag. All his wonderful adventures back into the past where he dreamed he was on stage with the SNL crew. I remember the skit where you made your only appearance that didn't get thrown on the cutting room floor like your peasized brain did when the stork brought you out into the daylight. Belushie(sp) was the Hulk and you were the turd he left behind in the crushed toilet bowl.
Why will Big Oil spend money on R&D if their profits are "stolen"? This is going no where since we now will be back on the thieving oil companies and how they are putting it to us.
Tell us "Legend in Your Own Mind" who sets the prices?
Own any oil stock? If you don't, why? If you do quit bitchin', it's capitalism.

The above highlighted is a false statement. The oil price debate is old and doesn't need to be rehashed. We've been there before. Y'all just keep dropping from your spiel the gains technology is making to change things for the better. Hybrid SUV's are here, and will continue to replace current gas guzzlers. And don't fall for the BS that Big Oil isn't trying to produce more efficentcy from the ground to the tank. It's happening everyday inspite of the bureaucracy that is your real enemy.
Exxon and Haliburton aren't the enemy in spite of what the Utopian Fool thinks.
Al Gore, Joe Wilson, Bill Clinton and now the "Bagheaded Boob". Real credible crew you run with....... :devil:
Nothing wrong with a Civic SI, just not practical for what I need to do. Besides unlike you, I have no fears when crossing the rails.

Yes and the Trillion eight billion barrels of recoverable Oil in one Oil shale deposit only, we most likely have around 3+ trillion in various forms not mentioning Coal about 30% of the worlds total that can be made into fuel.

When did you read me praising Gore or Wilson.
I don't think any big business is the enemy. However, at least I am realistic with my expectations. Business is business.
More efficiency from the ground to the tank, benefits Oil. More efficiency from the tank to the wheels, is not.
I too support Nuclear power plants. More solar more wind, and less fossil is 20 years away only if that where it's placed on the to do list.
