Re: Educate me
On Carbon, I read an interesting article several days ago (over on a farm tractor site), prepared by some 19,000 scientist's essays and other works of theirs, that have (and displayed) documented evidence contrary to the currently popular (Nobel Prized) theory being fed to the general public, with their research going back some 3000 years of the earth's life.
According to them (as indicated in their charts and dissertations) the rise in CO emissions has nothing to do with the normal cycling of the earth which alternates back and forth on a pretty cyclic basis. Additionally they discuss the positive effects of it on certain living things.
According to them the sun has a more profound effect on the earth's atmosphere/temperature than anything else. Well it doesn't take a rocket scientist to note the difference between summer heat and a winter blizzard and the sun definitely has a significant role in that; nor the difference in ambient temperature at 2PM and 2AM; especially in the desert.......what changed, CO2 emissions? Yeah right.
Problems we all have with governing agencies is that they make the rules that we have to live by, but they aren't necessarily the right answers, for varying reasons.
As I recall, back in the days of Jimmy Carter as US president, we were fed the same tale (by him in particular) about how we shouldn't continue to technologically advance with the energy consumptions associated with that and all. That's when I read the book "How to Survive the Coming Hard Times" (by Howard Ruff as I recall), whereby we moved to the country, dug a hole in the ground, and got ready for dooms day.........that was 30 years ago, no doom's day, and it looks like history is repeating it'self.
I guarantee you this, the technology that has gone into my automobile (and obviously most everything else since then) has produced a much more earth friendly vehicle.....so is it better to quit using fuels or to apply technology and do a better job of using them. I'll take the latter.
So which special interest group is to benefit this time?
Not that I don't think we need to be responsible for our environment. I just like being told the truth about anything, not lied to for some selfish (possibly misguided) reason.
My 2c since the topic was opened for discussion.
