In elementary school i remember learning about the carbon cycle. Now they don’t teach it, but show video’s such as Al Gore’s instead. Also in grade school I learned about photosynthesis. In college and grad school I learned even more of the details. But these are all ignored in the propaganda.

I had an aquaintance at a party raging about “all these people destroying the world” and cursing and screaming about it. I asked her what trees were made of. She didn’t know, but she guessed, “dirt”? I told her they were made out of carbon dioxide, which is converted to sugars, which are then used to build polymers, such as lignin and cellulose. Then I was the one cursed.

If CO2 were a real problem (I doubt it is…) then the solutions are obvious. 1) plant trees 2) kill people.

Unfortunately I think we’ll see more of #2 tried to remedy this issue. I’ve already seen reports from China on emission reductions achieved by executing prisoners.

I’ve been exposed to enough thermodynamics to understand that heat comes from some where. In this case the sun is the source of our warmth. Lots of people can’t fathom this idea and are mislead into believing that CO2 causes heating.

But why so much effort to promote dis-/mis-information?
Wretchard hit it on the head: MONEY.

I believe that it is an attempt, and not a clumsy one, to prevent the emergence of new resources and industries. Unless, they can afford the buy in…

This type of regulation will prevent severing natural resources, since most refining and processing requires heat/fire/fuel. This will prevent poor people and developing nations from harvesting their own resources, which can of course then be had by those who can afford the buy in.

This will prevent industrialization and development of the 2nd and 3rd world. With the spoils divided by the 1st.

It will also prevent people from heating their own homes, clearing their land, etc.

In my opinion the AGW scare is all about dominion, domination, subjugation, and a new twist to the age old practice of conquest.

But when I talk to the true believers, i try to convince them that option #1 is a better idea than option #2.

With the same results for taxpayers.

I don’t have the articles to reference, ( I think from Astute Bloggers) but:

A I believe scientists have determined the tropical rain forest grew much faster since 2000 as a result of the increased levels of CO2.

B. Similarly, some scientists believe one of the reasons dinosaurs were so big is that because CO2 levels were then were several times today’s levels, and that as a consequence vegetation on earth was much taller and plentiful.

I wonder….if I held my dog’s head under water long enough, will she grow gills?

You ever hear of the Space Shuttle Program? You have just described it, except subtract 3 zeros from the end of the number for the promised cost of the Bad Car and add 4 zeroes to the end of the final price of the Bad Car.

Does this happen? Oh, yes, if the Federal Government is involved it does.

There comes a point in every relationship when the IQ (Interest Quotient) must be balanced by the other IQ. I can’t begin to relate the number of stories from average-income people – including my family in a northern climate living on fixed income that was recently cut by a third in Oct before they sold out of their Apple Pie conservative holdings, and likely more when the pension bankruptcy sets in – who got notice that their heating bills would double this winter.

I predict an early stand-off between Obama’s working class platform and the Greens. Detroit is just the beginning.

We have a Politically Correct virus, HIV, in which it is not possible to point out the manner in which it is spread.

We new have a Politically Incorrect basic element, Carbon. At one time Plutonium was Politically Incorrect, and the process was so successful in eliminating that artificially created element that the same approach was applied to carbon. Why? Well, the USA invented Plutonium and is the Carbon Capital of the world, with our coal reserves.
