Re: Question about GW Bush and Global Warming

As is typical with the hate filled left, they fail to see any point except their own. As shallow and self serving as it is. They have destroyed a large amount of drinking water in CA, but fail to comment. They have dumped billions of gallons of sewerage into lake michigan and not a word spoke. The fly in California is a perfect example of usurping private property rights, yet they focus on an errant caviate about whether this is indiginious or not. I pulled my list off the top of my head. As for the fly, it gets worse, they can't pick up trash in the area cuz thats where they breed. This is what you get when liberals apply their 2 dimmensional thinking to law.<br /><br /> http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/938277/posts <br /><br />I have to question our little friends motives. (I only googled two of your examples. I took the time and in 60 seconds typed in Hemet CA, Fly and got all kinds of information. All that was extracted was it was indiginous? Failure to address the premise of example in the context presented was of course lost. But it took an hour for a response.) And what kind of an clown "jokes" about calling people nazi's or a racist. A zealot? Someone not right in the head? Funny how PW and Woodrat and others of differing opinions have been here for years without "joking" with such venom and hate. Trying to equate my referring to a mindset as whacko and calling me a racist personally is of course disgusting. And certainly not on day one. Some people are all about telling others what they should do and think. Unless it inconveniences them, like the windmill farm in Teddy Kennedy's little vaction spot. Or when they hop in their private jets to fly around and make speeches on why we should be driving Yugos. They apply junk science and hate in measured amounts to get their way. As is typical they just can't keep their eye on the ball. The ends justify the means and addressing emotion is far easier than addressing facts. <br />But facts are facts:<br /><br /> How Protecting a Fly Hurt the Sick<br />U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service bureaucrats have held up construction of a hospital in Southern California and threatened county officials with heavy fines and arrests -- all in the name of saving the Delhi Sands flower-loving fly.<br /><br />In 1992, less than 24 hours before San Bernardino County was to begin construction of the hospital, the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service listed the fly as an endangered species and demanded that the county set aside the entire 68-acre hospital site as a preserve for eight flies known to live on the property.<br /><br />Moreover, the USFWS sought to shut down traffic on heavily-traveled Interstate 10 nearby in August and September when the flies emerge from underground and live for about two weeks. <br />The county agreed to relocate the hospital -- which is now about a year behind schedule in construction -- set aside ten acres for the eight flies, and fund biological and behavioral studies. <br />It has already spent $4.5 million to accommodate the flies. <br />In addition, an agency official threatened to prosecute the county if it improved an intersection near the hospital -- unless it bought yet another fly preserve at a cost of up to $1.5 million. <br />A U. S. district court judge found in favor of the USFWS, and the agency also wants to set aside 300 acres of mostly private property in an economically distressed area to protect other populations of the Delhi Sands flower-loving fly.<br /><br />Source: Ike C. Sugg (Competitive Enterprise Institute), "Flies Before People", Wall Street Journal, February 11, 1997.<br /><br />But having to address the consequences of extreme left wing lunacy is something they are loath to do. And using the courts works only if you get nuts of like mind on the bench. But stopping the construction of a hospital for 8 flies may seem perfectly natural to some on the left. But as I subscribe to the substance over emotion method here's the case.<br /><br /> http://home.sandiego.edu/~jminan/waterlaw/National.html <br /><br />The fact that, as usual, treaties like kyoto are more social policy than environmental, means nothing to agenda driven automatons. And based on the enviromentalists track record we are to take any and all theories as gospel. This would be retarded and shows the contempt and arrogance they have for our country, our rights, and our common sense. We have found the enemy and they are us. <br /><br />Does this mean that all their contentions are wrong. Nope. It means that we need to look at their proposals with a sharp eye. It is incumbant on us to look at all sides and the ramifications, motives, and all potential outcomes before entering into any rights limiting legislation. And when something doesn't add up, like say their THEORY of global warming, it isn't illogical to be skeptical of their science, motives and outcomes. And if you examine their remedies, it is consistant with the far lefts socialistic/communistic model. It is scary how cavilier people can be when playing with others rights. The extreme left has shown total disregard for our most basic rights. Therefor diligance should rule the day.

BTW, if it is at all possible that I offended treedancer, I meant Skinnywater as the pragmatic one and did intend it as a compliment . . .<br /><br />Got confused . . treedancer, Skinnywater, they have a similar ring and such, there's some eee sounds, both end in er, both sound kinda like Native American type monikers. Ya know, Running Bear, Dances with Wolves, Two Dogs Fornicating . . . :D

Re: Question about GW Bush and Global Warming

That's OK Kalian. Let's see if he has any logic to bring to these discussions. When I read above (I think posted by jimonica) that conservatives can't back up there stuff with facts, and respond with emotion, I almost fell outta my chair :rolleyes: <br /><br />Rock on gafteci . . . and again, Welcome to the Dock. <br /><br />P.S. I was done with this thread a long time ago and rejoined simply for the social opportunities :D

Why is it that you self proclaimed "libs" feel the need for a cheering section or pep squad.Why not just speak for yourself and let the chips fall where they may? :eek: Or maybe ,since you self proclaimed libs feel you have established the fact that you are a minority amongst the members here in dockside chat,that iboats will recognize this fact and impliment some form of affirmative action policy that will require that a given number of your comments be agreed with by an equal number of participants in the thread. :eek:

And that's not name calling that's just a fact. :( Apparently when a liberal draws parallels between Nazi Germany and some actions of the current administration it way over the top and is disrespectful of the millions of victims of Nazi policies. But when conservatives do exactly the same you don't see any foul. :confused: <br /><br />Personally I don't see any problem drawing similarities between the Nazis and some policies of either party, if they are in fact valid. I don't see where this big taboo came from when it comes to the mere mention of Nazis. Maybe todays Republicans are feeling a little guilty. ;) <br /><br /><br />The thing is QC IMO I don't think you were really as offended as you portrayed yourself to be. As I explained before in a previous post (that you ignored), I think you were looking to score a<br />cheap political point. When you couldn't debate the subject at hand, you changed the subject by going into a phony outrage, accusing me of making a "mockery" of the holocaust victims and in doing so, you yourself QC disrespected and made a "mockery" of the holocaust victims. You used these victims as a tool to try to win a debate and that is shameful. :(

Re: Question about GW Bush and Global Warming

:D :D Holly cow gafteci!<br />You got the natives up in arms now! :D :p I will say this, you learn quick. It took me much longer than you to learn when Pointer posts something to check the source. If its not flat out plagiarized or from some far out right wing blog, than its a ten year old article. And even then its probably from a far right wing blog. :p <br />If I can give offer up some advice, it would be don't let them get you sidetracked. The subject of this thread was global warming. That debate the righties can't win. So they will want to go off and talk about sand flies and frogs and left wing wacko groups. Maybe us libs should talk about some of the right wing wackos like Fred Phelps, Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell and David Duke. Anyway, you made some good points. Keep it up. :cool: <br />BTW. On the cover of Time magazine, "Global Warming, Should We Be Scared?" I'll have to get that copy.

Re: Question about GW Bush and Global Warming

O.K, I know I said that I was done with this thread, but I felt deeply in my heart that I had to respond to Pointer.<br /><br />First, I’ll talk about the “Racist Reichwingers” comment. And, let’s be clear, I am in no way apologizing for making that comment. I tried to show Pointer how foolish his post was. He used 16 examples to bolster his argument. Seven of those were about ELF and PETA going to the extreme (and yes they should be jailed). He then wrote the following:<br />Feeling shamed, confused? still don't understand? These are the people you support. Don't worry, there is time to re-evalute and modify your positions.<br />He was basically saying that Environmentalists are in bed with ELF and PETA, that we support murderers!! So, I came back with this in my next post:<br />Do you really believe that all Environmentalists are ELF and PETA members. That's typical of you Racist Reichwingers! <br />I think anybody could see what I was trying to say here. And, no Pointer, I wasn’t ‘joking’. There is a difference between sarcasm and joking. So, please get over it and un-bunch your undies.<br /><br />Now, it’s time to take on your other arguments in that silly post of yours.<br /><br />1. I am sure the Spotted owl that needed privacy and couldn't live in concert with humans was honest. Funny when the pics of them living in the Kmart sign emerged. Was that a lie? Well they are not even on the endangered speicies list. Whacko, you make the call. <br />So there was one picture of a Spotted Owl in a Kmart sign. Big deal. Does that prove that they would thrive if their natural habitat was destroyed? A few might be able to survive, but not enough, and they would slowly disappear. Here is some good news: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/6420AP_WA_Sustainable_Harvest.html You can see from the article that the Spotted Owl is a Threatened Species. <br /><br />2. How about the fact that 25years ago they were screaming about global cooling? Whacko?<br />Who was screaming? Yes, there were people who were talking about global cooling in the mid-70s, but not many. A very small percentage of scientists believed this, but there wasn’t anything close to a consensus like there is on global warming. Look at this: http://yosemite.epa.gov/oar/globalwarming.nsf/content/climateuncertainties.html and http://yosemite.epa.gov/oar/globalwarming.nsf/content/climate.html THis is from the EPA. But wait, don’t tell me, the EPA is some Wacko-ELF-PETA group.<br /><br />3. How about the infringement of private property rights in Hemet CA preventing a housing project to protect a fly that wasn't even indiginous to CA? Whacko?<br />Well, first, you were wrong about the fly not being indigenous. I pointed that out and in a later post you say: <br />The fly in California is a perfect example of usurping private property rights, yet they focus on an errant caviate about whether this is indiginious or not. I pulled my list off the top of my head. As for the fly, it gets worse, they can't pick up trash in the area cuz thats where they breed. This is what you get when liberals apply their 2 dimmensional thinking to law.<br /><br />What you fail to note is that they didn’t want to “pick up trash”, they wanted to bulldoze the trash. That would have destroyed the fly’s habitat. They can send in people to pickup the trash, no problem there. Also, I see where you got your info from. Ike C. Sugg (Competitive Enterprise Institute). CEI is a far rightwing organization that is totally and completely in the pocket of BIG BUSINESS. Look at these. <br /> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Competitive_Enterprise_Institute <br /> http://www.exxonsecrets.org/html/orgfactsheet.php?id=2#src12 <br /> http://www.no-smoke.org/getthefacts.php?id=71 <br /><br />4. How about the city of Davis CA spending millions of dollars to create an under freeway frog bridge (I80) that nobody even the media can prove save even one frog? Whacko?<br />And I responded with the following: Guess what? It didn't cost "millions of dollars". It cost $14,000!! You Republicans really don't have a sense for money, do you? I guess that explains the National Debt.<br />And, you know what? It’s become a tourist attraction!! http://www.roadsideamerica.com/tips/getAttraction.php3?tip_AttractionNo==141 <br />Don’t see anything wrong with that!<br /><br />5. How about the fact that the city of Milwaukee Metropolitan sewerage district (I believe Mequon is also on the same system possibly) has dumped billions of gallons of untreated sewerage into lake michigan and yet not one fine levied? Whacko? Where is peta, elf, greenpeace?<br />I’m confused on this one. How is it the Environmentalists fault? I don’t get it. But, I do know that action is being taken and fines could be assessed. Again, see here: http://www2.jsonline.com/news/state/may04/231310.asp <br /><br />6. How about the sign in California state parks that states dogs are inconsistant with nature? Whacko?<br />I googled this and didn’t find anything on it. I did see numerous sites about state parks in CA that welcomed dogs, albeit, on leashes. Also, lots and lots of dog parks. So, again, I’m confused. Maybe you can give us a link so we can enlighten ourselves.<br /><br />7. How about the predictions of the level of contaminiation of New Orleans that wasn't even close. The city was to be uninhabitable. Whacko?<br />So what?? Was this the Wacko-ELF-PETA group saying this? NO!! It was everyone!!!! Faux News did stories on it. How does this have anything to do with extremism?<br /><br />8. How about CA mandating MBTE to lower automotive emissions with no proof of its validity but proof that it has contaminated a large portion of the ground water in the state? Whacko?<br />CA did not mandate MTBE. But, MTBE was the “most commonly used oxygenate” when Congress passed the Clean Air Act Admendments in 1990. There was plenty of “proof of its validity”. It did lower emissions, but, sad to say, it did also pollute the ground soil. Something at the time Congress didn’t know would happen. Congress and others tried to eliminate its use. But, and this is for your post Kalian (They knew it was a health hazzard but pushed it anyway. And once it became out in the open, they decided to phase it out instead of kill the program entirely. I think there was a lot of pocket greasing going on there. Someone made a ton of money at the expense of our health), Big Oil fought tooth and nail against it, because they are the ones who make it!!!!!! They just give it to us coming and going!! Here are a few more links:<br /> http://www.enviroliteracy.org/article.php/192.html <br /> http://www.ewg.org/reports/withknowledge/index.php <br /><br /><br />O.K., I’m done embarrassing you. I went though all of your silly, moronic statements and shot them full of holes. I’ve given you plenty of links to visit in the hopes that you will see the light and give up the dark side. If not, you are a kool aid drinker.<br /><br />Peace and Love.

Re: Question about GW Bush and Global Warming

Hey jimonica,<br /><br />I think it is fairly obvious that I don't back down very regularly :rolleyes: I don't consider that a badge of honor though. I have honestly been keeping my cool and trying not to contribute negatively. I also don't recall that I left you hanging on a challenge, I must have missed it. I apologize for that as I do want to engage with you if we can be civil. I know I contributed to a lack of civility and for that I am also sorry.<br /><br />If you recall, my first seriously negative engagement with you regarded your comparison of the sitting Administration to the Third Reich. I thought that was ridiculous as you put it. I explained my feelings directly and I also added a number of examples of current and previous Governments that were between this Administration and Hitler's Evil on the political spectrum that we were defining and discussing. You did not respond to that list. As to the Reich Wing comments . . . I think it is name calling, I think it is immature, and I think it is offensive.<br /><br />IMHO what Pointer did is different. He posted quotes from someone else that indicated some of the parallels of putting animals and the environment before people. He did not name call (until recently), and he presented his stuff. I know Pointer to be a passionate man, and I know him to be fair. I did not feel your comparison, nor the name calling, were synonymous with Pointer's tactics or position.<br /><br />If you would like to start another thread for you and me to discuss our differences, I will be calm and rational and I will not resort to any name calling. I have no interest whatsoever in embarrassing you, winning an argument or using cheap shots. I am interested in understanding how our positions on important socio-political-enviro stuff differs and leaving it at that. If you must know, your absolute denial that there was anything wrong with the comparison and the use of the label lit me the most. Again, I apologize for being less than civil, and agree that I probably overstated my anger.<br /><br />Last but not least, I tried to interject my posts toward the tail end of the previous page with some humor and as a welcome to gafteci. If it wasn't clear that I was trying to engage more from a social aspect than an argumentative one then I screwed up yet again.<br /><br />Sincerely, Kevin

Re: Question about GW Bush and Global Warming

Commence laughing. I asked you three times to reread the posts and I can only assume you didn't reread them. My point was clear. The extreme left wing will use and misuse or ignore whatever exists to further their point. Even resort to violence in the furtherance of their agenda.<br /><br />1. The spotted owl was a lie. A complete lie. It hurt many people in the perpetuation of the lie. I fail to see where glossing over the fact that they attempted to use the endangered species act fraudulently to further thier lie should bring anything but scorn from you. Instead its a "whats your point".<br /><br /> http://www.libertymatters.org/newsservice/2003/faxback/1.29.03spottedowl.htm <br /><br />2. Global cooling was a lie. Or is global warming a lie? Or are both of them a lie? My point is, was and continues to be that the left has tried to use environmental junk science to further their agenda. Or at the very least cannot get their facts in a row. It would be reasonable for anyone who has been following the activities of these extremists to keep an eye on history. Again here is the link I listed above but you must have missed as it was a pie graph about 1/3 the size of the page. <br /><br />In a poll conducted by Gallop they found that 83% of members of the Meteorological Society and the American Geophysical society do not feel that Human actions are causing global warming. 17% did. When someone floats out "Leading" scientists I find it interesting that "most" scientists think its bunk. I am not willing to tell everyone how to live their lifes or relinquish a freedom based on "leading" anything. Don't be afraid, it is a reasonable thought process.<br /><br />3. If you can't see how a couple of flies preventing the construction of a hospital is bad policy, there is no hope. Telling people how to live their lives based on a couple of flies is a manipulation of the endangered species act to usurp property rights. You of course forgot to mention that a bunch of nuts got the fly put on the endangered species list, 24 HOURS before they were to break ground. And how exactly can trash be the breeding ground of the fly when it has only been there for a blink of an eye in terms of history. The only breeding ground of a fly is along a highway in trash? Is this what we are to understand??? <br /><br />4. Having lived outside Sacremento I watched the local news coverage as they placed a camera outside the tunnel looking for so much as one frog. I guess they are still waiting. This is public money and if you can't see how this ties into whacko liberal policy and wasting of public funds, then ok.<br /><br />5. Why is it that 8 flies get the attention of liberal activists but billions of gallons of sewage dumped into one of our nations greatest resourses doesn't draw so much as a fine from the DNR or one protester from Greenpeace? (who I don't necessarily consider whacko) I find it interesting that Milwaukee for many years was essentially run by the socialists? And will spend millions of dollars on the Callatrava building along the lakefront and float sewage into the water it overlooks, but wouldn't listen to "science" when building the deep tunnel project. It was to handle all but the hundred year storm. But in reality, it spews untreated sewage into the lake every times it rains. Where are the environmentalists? Where is the lawsuits? Where is the outrage? Smell like hypocrasy? Maybe, maybe not. But with the track record of the environwhacko's something here just doesn't ring true. Here is one place they could do some good and their silence is deafening.<br /><br />6. I can post based on personal experience. Big Trees Forest. Whacko environmental policy had signs up stating that "Dogs are incompatatible with Nature." This is whacko. It kind of sucked cuz I had a dog with me, and it was doing just fine out there in nature from what I could tell. This is the type of policy that was restricting myself and my dog and all others with dogs from enjoying the forest. Maybe you don't think this is whacko, I do.<br /><br />7 Just another case of the sky is falling. Similiar to say, hmmmm, global warming? It points out the ongoing misinformation or lowsy science that can and frequently does affect policy. "Leading" experts I am sure predicted this. And you wonder why anyone would skeptical of other predictions of a dire future based on track records like this.<br /><br />8. Why is it only California, which is by most peoples standards one of or thee most liberal state would be the one to adopt the use of this chemical. It may have been national? And why when its side affects were realized did it take so long to have it removed. The city of South Lake Tahoe, stood with their finger in the air and prohibited selling gas with MBTE in their city in violation of the mandate. (Good for them) Again, another example of liberal policies having the opposite affect of their intentions. Interesting though you seem to think the BIG chemical and oil companies have some unknown ability to pass laws.. Note, they don't. But this is spot on when you look at how flawed and bad science made for worse public policy. I am sure leading scientists recommended its use. Is this the same EPA suggesting global warming who mandated its use. This story was covered on 60 minutes if memory serves me.<br /><br />If you are incapable of understanding how examples of junk science and selective and fraudulant applications of existing laws would make someone skeptical about the validity of Global Warming than you embarrass yourself. You may ultimately be correct and I hope for both our sakes you are not, but there is nothing complicated or difficult in the line of reasoning presented. <br /><br />___________________________________________________________________________<br /><br /><br />I think this sums it up best:<br /><br />Of all tyrannies a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. -C.S. Lewis <br /><br /><br />Link to pie graph.<br /> http://www.thecapitalist.net/globwarm.html

Re: Question about GW Bush and Global Warming

Gafteci, as I understand it, the federal govt. mandated that reformulated gas, uniqe to the state be used. I am unclear on the details though. California specified mtbe.<br /><br /> As I understand it, the epa fought removing mbte.<br /> Edit: "In 1999, California Governor Gray Davis issued an executive order mandating the phase-out of MTBE." Why a "phase out" if it's been determined to be a health hazard? Why not just ban it? <br /> California either required or considered requireing, (can't remember which one, I didn't live here at the time and got my info second hand.) all gas station owners to dig up their gas tanks and replace them in an effort to curb mtbe spreading throughout the states groundwater. Kinda drastic measure there. It's ok to cause a huge financial burden to small business owners, to corect Californias mistake, (they knew the additive was harmfull but required it anyway) yet when it comes to removing it they decide to "phase it out"?<br /><br /> Jmonica. Can't see how Pointers few errors and omissions affect the man points he was making. Sorry. All that word vomit and spew of yours was just to deflect Pointers main points. Nice try though.

Here is a link you will probably scoff at. There is a lot of info here about mtbe as well as other subjects of interest. Be sure to go to the home page and browse everything! :) <br /><br /><br /> http://www.pushback.com/environment/autos/

Re: Question about GW Bush and Global Warming

Here is a link to some scientific data.<br /><br /><br /> http://www.sitewave.net/PPROJECT/pproject.htm <br /><br />Here is an excerpt from above mentioned link. Have to read the whole thing though, no fair cutting and pasting one sentence blurbs taken out of context. <br /><br />"Not only has the global warming hypothesis failed the experimental test; it is theoretically flawed as well. It can reasonably be argued that cooling from negative physical and biological feedbacks to GHGs will nullify the initial temperature rise (26, 30). <br /><br />The reasons for this failure of the computer climate models are subjects of scientific debate. For example, water vapor is the largest contributor to the overall greenhouse effect (31). It has been suggested that the computer climate models treat feedbacks related to water vapor incorrectly (27, 32). <br /><br />The global warming hypothesis is not based upon the radiative properties of the GHGs themselves. It is based entirely upon a small initial increase in temperature caused by GHGs and a large theoretical amplification of that temperature change. Any comparable temperature increase from another cause would produce the same outcome from the calculations. <br /><br />At present, science does not have comprehensive quantitative knowledge about the Earth's atmosphere. Very few of the relevant parameters are known with enough rigor to permit reliable theoretical calculations. Each hypothesis must be judged by empirical results. The global warming hypothesis has been thoroughly evaluated. It does not agree with the data and is, therefore, not validated."

Re: Question about GW Bush and Global Warming

Kalian,<br /><br />You made the same fatal flaw that Pointer did. Your information is from 1998. I would like to see if you could name one scientist TODAY,not from 1998, that is willing to go on record and state that global warming doesn't exist. Not only do I think that the science community is united on global warming, they're also united on the fact that humans are the cause.

Not only do you "think" or "know" that the science community is united on global warming.The word think sorta strikes me as a wishywashy comeback.Show something that refutes what was once thought back in the "old days" of 1998.<br /><br />Now you guys feel free to just carry on with your discussion.I feel certain that this global warming epidemic can be worked out right here in dockside.What with all of this cut and paste research.
