NOTE TO THE SCIENCE-CHALLENGED:

CO2 is an ESSENTIAL GAS…NOT a pollutant. The rain forests would DIE without a plentiful supply of CO2.

And the oceans are the primary reservoir of CO2: NOT the atmosphere!!! Global Warmists should try to explain to the rest of us how our underwater coal-fired power plants (apparently found only in the USA) cause this.

Ordinary Water Vapor is the overwhelmingly predominant “greenhouse gas” (over 95%), and it is NOT A BAD THING!!! The earth would freeze and fry without it. And there are built-in mechanisms which regulate the temperatures on the planet: mechanisms which would be there with or without human beings.

Please get a grip. Valid scientific theories have a property called “predictive validity.” The “predictive validity” score for Global Warming Theory is a perfect ZERO so far: about as likely as a re-visitation of Orson Welles’ Martian invaders (an earlier scare spread by media hype).

I think I’ll grow my chest hair twice as long just to balance him out. Plus then I could make a sweater or something.

I’ll do the same with my back hair.

They’ll kneecap you.

Great, Indiana Jones waxes chest.

Where have the real men gone.

Aw maaaaan. I used to really like him because he seemed so no nonsense, non Hollywood dope. He reminded me of my DAD. I mean…he was a carpenter. How cool is that?

Course…then he divorced his wife of umpteen years, traded in for a ridiculously younger swizzle stick actress and put in an earring…which, memo to Ford…it really makes you look dumb.

I’m not sure what he should be more embarrassed about… the Star Wars Christmas Special or this ad.

I know this is hearsay, but I know a friend of the Ford family.
He was a really– really — bad carpenter… pretty much fraudulent and ripped off a lot of people.
And he did not treat his 1st wife any better to his first wife. He tried to make up for his assiness by totally backing her up financially when she was in a very bad car accident.

Most of the hipsters today are the ones who did not stay in class and study the oygen-CO2 cycle.

It’s not like he’s donating the proceeds to the KKK or anything.

Actually JetBoy, it’s worse than that. If conservatives lose this battle on preventing cap and trade legislation for CO2 and this thing gets started, there will be no end to it, ever. Our energy prices will never stop skyrocketing because of the high cost companies will have to pay and pass on to us.

And of course there is absolutely no benefit to such a program because the “problem” it’s intended to fight doesn’t exist. But Al Gore and his buddies will get super rich at our expense. This whole man-made global warming thing is about destroying our liberties and picking our pockets, we really need to understand how serious it is.

[My apolgies if anyone else has made the same observation--I jumped to the end with just skimming the earlier comments.]

Alert to geniuses- even if you don’t believe in global warming, the massive increases in CO2 in our atmosphere lead to unquestionably greater CO2 concentrations in the oceans and other ecosystems, wreaking a great deal of havoc on marine life that humans depend on for food.

Hey genius, plant life doesn’t grow without CO2, CO2 is what you exhale and the fizz in you softdrink. CO2 is an essential minority gas in the atmosphere, far less than one-tenth of one-percent (.038% to be exact). Ice cores confirm that the planet has had as much as ten times as much CO2 in the atmosphere with no ill effect. Hardly any gas has been studied more than CO2 and all of its properties are beneficial to the planet.

CO2 increased slightly in 2006 as the world gets colder. April 2008 was recorded as the 29th coldest April in 114 years. If CO2 drives global warming, can you explain that?

$5 billion a year pooled from the western nations to prevent de-forestization around the globe. How is this a bad idea?

Even a nickel is too much to pay for a problem that can be solved by the free market, just like Costa Rica where they are running out of places to re-plant new trees. The plantation of Costa Rica have solved the problem and created jobs for the people and turned it into a valuable investment market all at the same time.

That’s the proper way to handle it, not by creating a giant ponzi scheme by which Al Gore and his pal investors rake billions away from the public. This scam has gone on long enough, Al Gore and his buddies should be in jail.

All you whiners miss the point of the commercial because you’re so offended by the concept of global warming.

Alert to geniuses- even if you don’t believe in global warming, the massive increases in CO2 in our atmosphere lead to unquestionably greater CO2 concentrations in the oceans and other ecosystems, wreaking a great deal of havoc on marine life that humans depend on for food.

And if you’re opposed to capping CO2 emissions in industry or reducing car emissions this should be your favorite issue. The greatest return on controlling CO2 levels comes from protecting rain forests. It’s been estimated that for $5 bil a year, all the great rainforests in the world can be protected from deforestation. (Basically by extending carbon credits to countries for maintaining rain forests). Of course, there’s a side benefit in reducing the large number of extinctions that occur through killing rain forests, preserving one or more wonder drugs yet to be discovered by mankind.

$5 billion a year pooled from the western nations to prevent de-forestization around the globe. How is this a bad idea? Or do you think that the world will be better when all the rainforests are replaced by strip malls?

But he’s so old, and we had to look at his flabby chest and course old man chest hairs…Oops, there I go “missing the point” again.

bayam on May 21, 2008 at 5:08 PM

that concerned about CO2, stop breathing..

besides, genius, plants in other parts of the world are having record growth..

google ‘Doomslayer’ and ‘Wired magazine’ and learn something.. it’s a little old but still timeless..

Or do you think that the world will be better when all the rainforests are replaced by strip malls?

bayam on May 21, 2008 at 5:08 PM

Yes! All those damn trees are pumping out carbon dioxide by the truck load right this second.

Kill the trees. End global warming. Save the planet!

Save a polar bear, cut down a tree. It’s the circle of life or something.

bayam on May 21, 2008 at 5:08 PM

I think you’re playing in the wrong sandbox.

Now ,they BOTH have these insipid YOUTUBE videos telling us poor undereducated leemings how we should think and who we should vote for.

They both now make me sick!

You would hope that being frozen in carbonite might have taught him a thing or two.

Bigfoot on May 21, 2008 at 1:37 PM

I think being frozen in carbonite would have already removed his chest hair.

Gutfeld and me: simpatico.

Allahpundit, you think that McCain can kick your butt and you’d let him do it? I would have never guessed it.

2. More proof that you can put lipstick on a pig…and it’s still a pig!!!
