Enviromental concerns updates

Lots of comments on Global climate change listed below from my initial question of yesterday.

I do remember in the 1970s some thought that another ice age was going to occur. I was a kid then.
But I heard several years ago that there has been changes in the jet stream over the USA that has caused some weather patterns to shift. Which has resulted in warmer winters. (which to me is a good thing)
I still stand by my statement of "aint nothing I can do about it anyway" So who fricken cares.!!!

[b:02c7d35600]60% of new cases of lung cancer are from non smokers now.[/b:02c7d35600]

Keep our air and water clean.
robably always was.

May as well keep on smoking then :wink:
 
Serg. Friday "Just the facts"

Current smokers represent 20% of all new lung cancer cases, former smokers represent 60% of all new lung cancer cases, and people who never smoked represent 20% of new lung cancer cases

Gee, I"m a former smoker :(

So who fricken cares? Well it seems to me that you must or why even post Enviromental concerns?

I agree with you, there isn't anything we can do about or is there? Look at Canada and Austraila. I THINK both have a carbon tax on their electric bills. I hope this doesn't happen here. There are some politicians who would feel warm and fuzzy if a carbon tax passed.

I want to breath fresh air and have clean water. Look at China, they have both. Glad we cleaned up our act a little.

Here's an article from back then that proves cooling for the exact same reasons that the believers claim it's warming now. Save it to favorites,you'll want it again some day.

Of course the REAL believers will tell you it's only the climate that's changing,not the weather,so yea,who the h3ll cares?
Cooling world
 
Remember that every time a volcano explodes it puts more pollution into the air then all the polluting we have done to date.
I say walk tall and leave a large carbon footprint.

Amen ABSOLUTELY. An old state meteorologist friend of mine has studied records as far back as records were kept. Nothing new going on now.

And 2 or 3 of those "E cigarettes" have exploded, during recharging. Now they need to be regulated and taxed, like regular cigarettes! OK, sarcasm meter is pegged, my job is done!!
 
And the last time that happened,in 1992 I believe it was,we had the coldest summer in my memory. The corn froze dead as a doornail in early September before it even dented that year. I went to cut hay on August 10th that year and it was 42 degrees.
 
yes there is new going on. al gore and his fellow politicals are getting rich by forcing carbon exchanges, creating or investing in companies created to manufacture all the crap that goes in cars, trucks, tractors, to make them compliant. All those involved should be forced to fly their private jets with exhaust filters, def, and automatic shut-off if any polution elements fail.
 
I thought of you today. I threw a raggedy old rake tire on a brushpile and lit it. Black smoke went up for a mile, it seemed. I knew you'd be proud of me.
 
I don"t know much about all this climate stuff, but I do know one thing- All the talk about millions & billions of years ago is a bunch of nonsense. It was approx. 2000 yrs. from the creation to the flood. About another 2000 from the flood until the birth of Christ. Now here we are at 2013. NOTHING is much over 6000 yrs. old.
 
You can get out plenty and still believe almost anything if you've got your mind made up and keep tightly focused on that.

A few years back I read an article where someone was quoted as saying that Americans are more proud of their beliefs than of their abilities (or something along those lines). Pretty depressing. It's like living alongside the Taliban.

Not PROUD of any belief, just someone thankful to be saved by grace-not by works lest any man should boast-who believes what the Bible says. "Why do the heathen rage?"

Wow..........really? I'm floored to think that in this day and age there are still people around who think that way. With all that science has PROVEN about our world and it's age........I'm sure that a few lines written here will do nothing to change an opinion that is firmly based in..........hmm......fact? Fable? A great story with many applicable life lessons? No matter what your faith, I'm sure there should be a little consideration given to the idea that maybe the people who wrote the information you are speaking of lived in a pretty simple time and perhaps they took some things at face value that we know to be false today. Lets face it, what choice did they have?
Perhaps it would suffice to say that the bible was written using the best information available to the authors at the time.

Well said. If you could somehow transport one of those authors to modern times, bring him up to speed on what we know today, then explain that there are folks who take what he wrote as literal truth, I'm sure that old-timer would be shocked. "Hey guys, we were trying to make sense of the world around us using what we had to go with."

You have to realize that most of the things in the Bible and other ancient religious manuscripts were not at odds with how people understood the world to be. They didn't understand germs and infection. Thunder and lightning were not known to be electrical phenomena (since electricity had yet to be discovered). Likewise with volcanoes, earthquakes, comets and meteors. That these things were supernatural events was a quite reasonable explanation.
 
I totally agree with that! This whole "climate change business" is nothing more than a hoax to help the abundant rich get richer without really doing anything. If everything that has been written so far about "global warming" was true and all these glaciers have shrunk (melted so much then why aren't we seeing the seas rise yet???
