Recliner Pilot 61 Posted October 29, 2007 How is Al Gore corrupt and dishonest? Because the Oil Companies say so? or their so called "experts" say so? Oil companies do what's valuable for them not the country. By not using "peer reviewed material", by using alamist BS, by being declared a liar by scientists who aren't in it to get rich, by being declared a liar in a court of law............................................................................. .......................................................

Recliner Pilot 61 Posted October 29, 2007 I addressed that already. Let's see, you have oil companies who are corrupt and are known liars hiring so called "experts" who they often try to pass off as legitimate scientists to dispute GW. The reason they are hiring these so called experts to dispute GW is most likely because financially they will be affected negatively, wether it be tighter restrictions, legislation, or people relying on other sources of energy besides oil. So again, you have Big Oil who are known to be corrupt, known to be liars, have a lot to lose if people become more environmentally conscious, hiring so called experts who a lot of the time aren't even scientists, to dispute GW and Al Gore is the one who is deliberately decieving us? What about all the legitimate scientists who support GW? Are they con men too? Yet the Oil companies who are known liars and are corrupt, they're the honest ones. You kin to Slo Nuff? You both bring stuff to a thread passing it off as fact when it is really just your opinion. Slo Nuff has already had to admit this, I think it's time you did too.

Recliner Pilot 61 Posted October 29, 2007 There are plenty of scientific studies explaining why it's not just "the sun". Other planets temperatures are rising or lowering for various reasons. Just because everyone doesn't jump to respond to every little argument you try and bring up, doesn't mean that you're right. What are they? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately you are too stubborn and ignorant to understand this and I don't understand why you think it is a bad thing for us to do things to help our environment.

He is trying to bring awareness so that people will be more environmentally conscious. As far as the planets, There are some long articles/studies so I'll try and make it short. Jupiter is not experiencing global warming, but it is poised to experience regional climate change, “getting warmer near the equator and cooler at the poles. http://www.berkeley.edu/news/media/release...1_jupiter.shtml Pluto’s warming was likely not connected with that of the Earth. The major way they could be connected is if the warming was caused by a large increase in sunlight. But the solar constant–the amount of sunlight received each second–is carefully monitored by spacecraft. The sun’s output is much too steady to be changing the temperature of Pluto. The sunspot record and neutron monitor data,” as Realclimate.org explains, “show that solar activity has not increased since the 1950s and is therefore unlikely to be able to explain the recent warming. http://www.realclimate.org/index.php?p=180 The causal link between the Earth’s warming and the alleged warming of other planets would have to be solar activity. But a recent study has shown that solar activity, including cosmic rays, are not responsible for recent planetary warming. The study concluded. Here we show that over the past 20 years, all the trends in the Sun that could have had an influence on the Earth’s climate have been in the opposite direction to that required to explain the observed rise in global mean temperatures. http://www.pubs.royalsoc.ac.uk/media/proce...spa20071880.pdf Cue the Algore ******** claiming the link is owned by "evil big oil" Did you not think it was?

itsbigmoni 1 Posted November 7, 2007 The good news is you can now elect Hillary Clinton and her cronies will raise your taxes too. Enjoy. BTW - Do you agree that Capitalism is the best system in the world because it offers people incentive to take risk and increase wealth, which is good for the country? If so, you should be celebrating everytime Google, Haliburton, Exxon, etc. pronounce profits exceeding expectations. So you'd be in favor of letting monopolies form? I mean, if they beat out their competition, its pure capitalism right? I am happy when most companies exceed their expectations, however i'm not excited by the fact exxon made record profits. Oil is unlike just about every other product. It was proved back in the 70's that oil doesn't follow typical economic rules. People are dependent on oil. So i'm not happy about exxon charging high prices on a HIGHLY inelastic product. I mean, if they wanted to, they could charge $10 a gallon and it would still sell. We rent out part of our shop to a mobile tire guy. His rates are going up becuase of how much gas cost has gone up. Do you guys have any idea how much trucks are use to deliver products? So when companies like my uncles start charging farmers more to deliver their produce, the farmers are gonna have to charger higher prices. Now, safeway has to pay more for the produce, but they're just gonna pass the cost on to the consumer. I could understand gas prices if opec was charging outrageous amounts. I can't understand gas prices at a time exxon is making record profits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flashover 0 Posted November 7, 2007 First of all you didn't answer my questions and here ya go: Jupiter is growing a new red spot and the Hubble Space Telescope is photographing the scene. "Red Spot Jr." as it is being called, formed after three white oval-shaped storms—two of which were at least 90 years old—merged between 1998 and 2000. Close inspections of Red Spot Jr., in Hubble images released today, reveal that similar to the Great Red Spot, the more recently developed storm rises above the top of the main cloud deck on Jupiter. The latest images could provide evidence that Jupiter is in the midst of a global change that can modify temperatures by as much as 10 degrees Fahrenheit on different parts of the globe. The storm is growing in altitude, this growth signals a temperature increase in that region. Jupiter Link New findings suggest that Saturn's moon Enceladus is oozing heat. That's a surprise because Saturn orbits, on average, about 1.3 billion kilometers (more than 800 million miles) from the sun. "You expect everything to be cold and frozen" out there, says Andrew Ingersoll. He's a planetary scientist at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. The evidence comes from the Cassini spacecraft, which has been orbiting Saturn since July 2004 (see "Ringing Saturn"). When Cassini passed close to Enceladus in 2005, it sent data from a dozen scientific instruments to teams of scientists across the United States. An instrument for measuring magnetism detected unusual warping in the magnetic field around the moon's south pole. A detector for measuring infrared radiation (which is associated with heat) sensed a hot spot in the same polar area. Another instrument saw glassy ice there, but nowhere else, on the moon. Cameras revealed large cracks on the surface. Other instruments unveiled a cloud of gas, which contained tiny grains of water ice and other ingredients, over the pole. Plumes of icy material spew from the southern polar region of Enceladus. Indeed, later images showed a geyser of ice crystals and other material shooting hundreds of miles into space (see "A Moon's Icy Spray"). That's as high as Enceladus is wide. The only explanation for these unexpected findings is that enceladus somehow supplies its own heat. "Sunlight could not possibly produce temperatures like that in the outer solar system." Saturns moon link Shifting dust storms on Mars might be contributing to global warming there that is shrinking the planet's southern polar ice caps, scientists say. The wind speeds could ramp up until a threshold is reached, at which point conditions are ripe for a dust storm that swamps the entire planet, the researchers speculate. "A dust storm is kind of like a big party that picks up dust and tosses it everywhere," said study leader Lori Fenton of the NASA Ames Research Center in California. "It takes forever to clean up after a party." Once the dust storm subsides, particles fall out of the atmosphere and are redistributed over a large portion of the planet. "You can almost think of a big dust storm as a resetting mechanism. The researchers think they are on the right track because the computer model predicts a build-up of heat in the atmosphere above Mars' southern hemisphere that is roughly equal to the amount of energy necessary to account for the diminishment of the planet's southern polar ice caps that has been observed in recent years.

I can respect that. Thank you for the honest answer. FWIW, I don't believe much of anything that has Al Gore's name attached to it. But, I do think that we as a civilization need to do more to be environmentally friendly. You would think that with the technology available today, someone could come up with a reliable, AFFORDABLE alternative fuel source. Maybe someday. And to the posters earlier talking about ExxonMobile and capitalism, every company should do the best they can to maximize profits to maximize share value for the shareholders. BUT, with something such as oil that all of modern civilization has become so dependent on, I personally don't think that this maximization should include record profits in the BILLIONS per quarter over the last 5 or so years. The amount of money that big oil is making is absolutely absurd. And I don't think that the American populace should have to cut down on their driving miles and vehicle choice to bring fuel back into an affordable range. This is not an issue of supply and demand when companies are setting records for profits each and every quarter. It's ridiculous and not a defensible position outside of pure greed.

Greedo 13 Posted November 8, 2007 That's because it is!The Science and Public Policy Institute (SPPI) is formerly the Center for Science and Public Policy for the Frontiers of Freedom. The Frontiers of Freedom Institute received a donation of $100,000 from ExxonMobil in 2002 for the foundation (in 2003) of the Frontiers of Freedom Institute's Center for Science and Public Policy. It received a further $90,000 in funding from ExxonMobil in 2006. Nice try. Another fine example of why you have no credibility on this board. How dare you trouble those in fantasy land (ie. the 3 people left that don't believe in global warming), with actual facts! Oil company funded hack outfits can be credible, just ask neutral parties such as RP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flashover 0 Posted November 8, 2007 See Retarded Pilot, you insinuated in your original post that your link was not funded by Exxon. When I said it was you asked me to prove it, which I did. You asked me why that makes it less credible and I explained how Big Oil deliberately lied in front of Congress not to mention how they had to offer money to scientists to dismiss GW. Considering that Big Oil's purpose is to make lots of money/profit, they have a vested interest in discrediting GW. If you cannot see how all that hurts their credibility, well then you probably believed Big Tobacco when they said smoking doesn't cause cancer and nicotene isn't addictive. Lastly, I provided you with reasons why other planets might be warming (Gases, dust storms, volcanic activity, etc.) You still haven't posted your Proof that the sun is solely responsible for GW. I asked for specifics on your view of the environment and what should be done if anything. You claimed that Exxon's funding was only a small amount but then was unable to back up your claim so you had to back track. You said that I was "looking for certain answers that I didn't get" which is BS! You're implying that I'm saying that you want to cut down every tree, poison the rivers and lakes, starve old people, kick puppies, or eat babies for dinner. Come on now! ...Drobeski is right, there needs to be a "just shut the fock up for once and get a focking life already option" So before you start misstating my arguments why don't you go up a couple of posts and read my answer to the question "TheBlade" asked me. Then when you're done, read the first line of his response. It should look something like this: I can respect that. Thank you for the honest answer. Take a good look at it because that's the closest a phrase like that will ever get to one of your posts! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
