===== Earth Hour makes HUGE difference in Glow-ball Whining ===== {{fp:ecocaveman.jpg|?350x350}}\\ \\ Did you catch the "Earth Hour" that was celebrated "glow-bally" of course? Everyone turned off their lights for an hour to fight global whining... er, I mean warming. Of course, the //cumbayah// (see [[ph:start#cumbayah| Phictionary]]) hour included bonfires and candle light, which while really "//neato//" are less efficient and more carbon loading than regular electric lighting. Ugh, EcoPoseurs can be so tiresome with their dire lack of technical education. I think we should have a "//do nothing different//" day to save the planet - at least people won't be driving their cars to some meeting on how to cut down on pollution from driving cars!!! Being the EcoExtreme guy that I am, I had **EIGHT**, yes count 'em **EIGHT** "Earth Hours" last night. I turned off all the lights in my house to save me $$ on my electrical bill. WOOT WOOT WOOT! Here is a rant from a biker guy. Ya gotta love biker logic. If we could ever be bothered to get off of our bikes long enough, we would rule the world!!!! From "Atlanta Joe" //"This is one of those subjects where no matter which side you are on no argument is going to change your mind. \\ \\ If you believe this garbage then no amount of discussion is going to change your mind.\\ \\ If you believe as I do then no amount of junk propaganda is going to change your mind either.\\ \\ I can list several items to support my position and those who believe will still believe.\\ \\ Want a test, OK. \\ \\ Please explain why the temps on Mars have risen by equal amounts during the same period. Please explain how all the claimed increases in global temps over the last 100 years have been reversed in just the last year. \\ \\ Both of these facts will be denied and the person presenting them will be belittled by those who believe. No one's mind will be changed by what anyone says.\\ \\ Remember science is not consenses, science is repeatable results from measured conditions.\\ \\ Check out the sun's activity over the same period, you will find a cycle of increased solar activity. Maybe that big old hot thing in the sky could have had some effect on our climate. \\ \\ Maybe we are not as smart as we think we are, check out the some of the temp recording stations used to provide temp data for these computer models that tell us we are destroying our planet. \\ \\ (http://www.heartland.org/Article.cfm?artId=22203) (http://www.surfacestations.org/)\\ \\ As I said before it's called weather. Global Warming or it's newest name used to explain cold winters. Climate Change, either way climate and climate change is only weather.\\ \\ If you believe we Americans are causing it then fine, I'm proud of you. If you don't believe it then fine I'm proud of you as well. \\ \\ Hey, everyone has to believe something.\\ \\ Me, I believe we are very self impressed if we believe we can destroy the planet, I have no doubts we can destroy ourselves, but I think we over rate ourselves when we believe we can destroy the planet.\\ \\ I try hard not to be so very believing in the fear mongering from the political class and the news media. When they start talking about buying carbon credits, raising taxes to combat the presented fear of the day then I tend to dismiss them.\\ \\ When they inject money into the "science" I start to wonder how long the lies will go on. How many remember the early 70's when all the media and scientist were telling us about the new ice age, and now we are told that we are causing global warming. \\ \\ Darn we are something if we can not only stop global cooling, an ice age and then overheat the whole planet in only 35 years.\\ \\ (http://www.denisdutton.com/cooling_world.htm)\\ \\ Just my 2c. Ya'll do what you want."// Well said. Atlanta Joe for President!! {{fp:smoky_burn_out.jpg?350x350}}
