Quotes of the day

“In his speech, Mr Gore told the conference: ‘These figures are fresh. Some of the models suggest to Dr [Wieslav] Maslowski that there is a 75 per cent chance that the entire north polar ice cap, during the summer months, could be completely ice-free within five to seven years.’
“However, the climatologist whose work Mr Gore was relying upon dropped the former Vice-President in the water with an icy blast.
“‘It’s unclear to me how this figure was arrived at,’ Dr Maslowski said. ‘I would never try to estimate likelihood at anything as exact as this.’
“Mr Gore’s office later admitted that the 75 per cent figure was one used by Dr Maslowksi as a “ballpark figure” several years ago in a conversation with Mr Gore.”

“A surge in sunshine more than 60 years ago helped Swiss mountain glaciers melt faster than today, even though warmer average temperatures are being recorded now, Swiss researchers said Monday.
“Their study into the impact of solar radiation on Alpine glaciers made the ‘surprising discovery’ that in the 1940s, and especially summer 1947, the ice floes lost the most ice since measurements begin 95 years ago, according to Zurich’s Federal Institute of Technology (ETHZ)…
“‘The surprising thing is that this paradox can be explained relatively easily with radiation,’ said one the ETHZ researchers, Matthias Huss, in the university’s online review.
“‘This should not lead people to conclude that the current period of global warming is not really as big of a problem for the glaciers as previously assumed,’ he added.”

Hey LIBERALS/followers of the great global warming religion. The North Pole is on the ocean. There is no land on the North pole. the best things that could happen is the North pole becomes warm. that would open up the great tundra of Canada and the Russia’s Sebria to farming If the earth warmed up we could feed another 7 billion people with no problem.
The only downside to a warming planet is that some cosatal cities might get wet. So what move the damn buildings, build dikes, seawalls. Move. The benefits far outweight the costs for a warming planet.

You think that’s bad…wait until the sun swallows the earth in a few billion years…then, maybe, we’ll learn our lesson.

That’s a ridiculous argument, but whatever.

Do you believe that there were ice ages? Do you believe that the earth warmed after these ice ages? Do you believe that the activity of sun had any influence on the warming.

People like Gore eventually need to be arrested or something. I mean seriously.
What do they do to con men who are caught bilking millions of dollars out of people’s retirements? Or scamming people on real estate deals? What happens if you are caught committing fraud?
Al Gore and the rest of his kind are committing fraud on entire nations! Entire nations! The crimes of all the thieves and con artists the past 100 years or more pale in comparison to what is going on in the global warming movement! It should be called the global scamming movement! They are selling a snake oil concoction peppered with a chant and a promise to save the world!
My God! With all of our technology, science and industry and still the human race is susceptible to witch doctors warning that the end of the world is near! All that is missing from Al Gore is the feather headdress! Instead of throwing our daughters into volcanoes it’s our SUV’s and big screen TV’s. The first born’s will come in time, I am certain!
It used to be a joke to see a guy walking down the street with a sign “The End is Near!” Now that same guy is celebrated and given grants of taxpayer money!

What’s ridiculous, Ann, is that we ignore reality. I am sick and tired of people on the left trashing America. That is all it is about. If they don’t like the greatness of this country, let them take their beliefs to some other country that does not do 1/10th of the respect of the environment as we do.
Sporty1946 on December 14, 2009 at 11:48 PM
No, we have done some horrendous things, usually local things such as contamination of waterways, contamination of land, contamination of underground water supplies and mismanagement of water resources just to name a few.
A Recent example is the 2008 Coal Fly Ash spill at Kingston Fossil Plant here in East Tennessee. It released 1.1 billion gallons of the slurry some of which flowed into the Emory and Clinch Rivers.
On the mismanagement side, I’d point to the damage TVA Dams did with respect to river ecosystems until the situation was remedied with oxygenation of dam outflow water.

He said, I do believe that it’s the first time in history that the sun has ever melted ice. I do believe that it defies physics that mere sunlight can cause climate change. Only humans can hurt the earth. It is physically impossible.

That is the point. Used to companies would dump their stuff into rivers without worry. Champion International dumped dioxin into the Pigeon River as late as the 80s.
And those sort of practices bite us in the butt, ever hear of Love Canal neighborhood in Niagra Falls, New York? Pertinent example of how bad we can be.
Holger on December 15, 2009 at 12:01 AM
OK. In the past, there are all sorts of pollution examples you can point to, and I would agree that we have been bad. However, we have also been the best in the world at being able to clean up those messes and punish the people who deliberately committed those offenses. But those examples have ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with the global warming fraud and did nothing to contribute.
Sporty1946 on December 15, 2009 at 12:09 AM
But you have to admit we are doing a lot better than we were…
key question becomes when do we go SO far that it becomes counterproductive…. like… oh… California?
Energy prices are so high that all the jobs are moving out… and you can’t build anything anyway because of the permit process.
My brother was comptroller for a company that had a very cool idea. There is a HUGE whole in the ground out past Palm Desert from a strip mine. Idea was to take garbage from the LA basin, recycle what they could, and then ship the rest by existing Rail Lines, and use it to fill the Hole back in.
This company was put together by environmentalists who were trying to FIX an existing problem… and do it economicly so it would pay for itself.
It was killed by folks from Palm Desert and Palm Springs, who used environmental lawsuits to bankrupt them… because they didn’t want the train traffic.
So… LA still has a trash problem… and there is still a Huge Hole sitting out in the desert…

If he’s not in jail yet, maybe we could put him to work on Al Gore’s email account…I’m sure there is a gold mine of information there on how he is bilking the world out of hundreds of millions, eh?

Of course the only thing that off sets past stupidity is our ability to clean it up and be good stewards of the planet. We have done utter miracles with regards to clean up of our own errors. This is the EPA’s saving grace in my mind. We are the only species capable of acting in this regard. We even clean up natural disasters such as Volcanism which can destroy entire ecosystems.
Holger on December 15, 2009 at 12:19 AM
I heard about that and it would’ve been a great idea if implemented. Pollution from modern trains is nil and is very effecient versus trucking it in. More than likely they didn’t want the noise pollution. And it would’ve been a great use for a hole in the ground that we made, infact it would’ve been a better use than backfill.
Damn Greenies. The enemy of the good is always the better.
Holger on December 15, 2009 at 12:27 AM
We try. It’s like Rush says all the time, what arrogance we have. We couldn’t destroy the planet if we wanted to. God has built in fixes. We cannot begin to understand or appreciate the mechanisms God has built into Earth for it to fix itself. And for all the people who say they believe in God, such as Algore, they could not possibly believe that global warming would possibly harm people. God has already promised that such a thing would not occur again until after the Rapture.

MB4 on December 15, 2009 at 12:38 AM
Your intemperate use of the word “abusing” aside, you have put your finger on one of the biggest problems with the AGW hustle.
Human existence on this Earth necessarily means us manipulating our environment. We are, all things considered, a pretty fragile species who would find survival very hard if we weren’t engaging in all types of activity that changes the Earth in ways that the tree-hugging crowd often considers “abusive”. As our population has grown over large areas of the Earth, our manipulation of our environment has grown that much larger.
Now, there are activities that at certain points threaten our own well-being so much that we agree to yield to collective action to prevent. The examples of this are everywhere; Love Canal, acid rain, NY/NJ ocean dumping… these are all externalities associated with industrial activities designed to extend and enrich human existence, yet also threatened our well-being.
So from time to time, government has to step in to manage these externalities. This management, while necessary, costs us in terms of the industry that makes our survival possible. But that’s okay… we produce enough that we can afford to.
But as in all economics, there are opportunity costs; that is, if you spend resources doing one thing, that’s resources you can’t spend doing other things. We can only spend so much taking care of real, tangible externalities like acid rain. At some point, if we try to take care of all the externalities, our ability to survive is, in fact, diminished.
Well, the cures for AGW cost… A LOT. If we as a planet were to take the steps to reduce greenhouse gasses to the point the Malthusians say is necessary, either some other pollution control efforts have to go, or part of our ability to survive goes. We’re not about to sacrifice our ability to survive, so the alternative is to suffer some other forms of pollution.
Well, that might mean more acid rain. It might mean more ozone depleting products. It might mean more beach pollution. The list goes on and on.
And what do we get in return? There’s no evidence that these steps to combat greenhouse gasses will lower temps appreciably. There’s no evidence that if the temps did lower, that our lives would be that much better off. And there’s no evidence that these reductions in greenhouse gasses cannot be achieved with much less invasive means, up to and including let new technologies develop as a natural result of economic growth.
Al Gore has not just proven himself to be a scientific illiterate; he has also proven himself to be an economic illiterate. And I’ll be damned if I’m going to turn our economy over to an illiterate any more than we already have.

MB4 on December 15, 2009 at 12:43 AM
Rush is right. There are things built into the system to remedy calamities. Even nuclear war while threatening man with extinction would be nowhere near as bad as the eruption of Toba 75,000 years ago which very nearly made man extinct or the Meteor Impact that killed off the dinosaurs. The only thing long lasting with regards to nuclear war is contamination with TRUs but that would be below lethal thresholds even at the hypocenter. Nucllear winter ends in a couple of decades.
But no, Greenies have their own Doctrine of Original Sin.

Found it. Suspected it was in there somewhere.
Arctic ice reached a minimum in 2007, less so in 2008, and even less 2009. Apparently, returning to more normal, or at least less extremes.
Gore’s conclusion that Arctic ice will disappear begins to look like the regression fallacy.

Speaking of REALITY and insight of what we now know are the “ best practice”
like using
statistical “trick”
to “hide the decline”
in a proxy measure of temperature,
musing over how to keep dissenters out of the literature,
ice core readings that have admittedly, have been open to interpretation?
Along with the “best practice” of “adjusting numbers to fit so called “model”?
Can the AGW crowd please explain this?
How did 260 ft of ice accumulate on top of these P-38′s at the same time “ice” in Greenland is “melting” at an alarming rate?
We have historic records for the P-38′s along with real actual measurements of the ice depth.
The other?

Not to be picky, but it was Oliver Twist, not Tiny Tim who said “Please, sir, I want some more.”

Nuclear winter in another lefty myth. Using volcanic data, as a baseline is unworkable. Most nukes are fused for air burst, and thus they do not lift vast quantities of dust to the stratosphere, nor do they release sulfur compounds.
If you do happen to want to cool the earth, high sulfur jet fuel would have far more affect than cutting greenhouse gasses, and would be far cheaper, including the acid rain mitigation.

rob verdi on December 15, 2009 at 5:51 AM
Gore hubnubs but he doesn’t read. It is also evident that he fabricates once upon a time conversations to establish his own basis. What a joke, to blame a Navy scientist for quoting a “ballpark figure in a conversation” that never took place. Dr. Maslowski provided Gore’s office with information. If indeed this was Maslowski’s research results, Maslowski would not need to “ballpark” his findings “in a conversation” that Gore relies upon as his source of information because Gore doesn’t read. Not that he can’t, but he’s too lazy to research, putting all his eggs of effort into hobnobbing to market his pyramid scheme.
I’m disappointed in the Navy to rely on the likes of a scientist of fraud in their ranks of leadership. Maslowski has projected contingency “what if” scenarios beyond the realm of speculation into the realm of expectation to promote as if empirical knowledge. For profit and fame, Maslowski’s playing a corruptive part in our military and our government.

so when algore says the science is settled, he really means that he talked with a scientist once….
what a total facepalm for algore.

it looks like algore, like obama, lives in an alternate reality. He is woefully and completely misrepresenting and misconstruing factual events. these people are dangerous, they believe what they want to believe and can only be convinced otherwise by public humiliation. Welcome to your life, algore.

I’ll MAYBE start to agree with Owl Bore when he fits his own home with solar panels and puts a couple of windmills in the yard for good measure. From what I understand, he’s a complete energy piggie. President Bush on the other hand has a very ecological set up in Crawford Texas that one never really hears about..
Al Gore is nothing but a complete idiot. Listen to the man speak. There’s a reason why Bush wiped his clock clean in debates. Al Gore doesn’t really ever know what the hell he’s talking about. It’s not global warming, it’s global climate. And it’s been cooling for the last ten years…Hey Al, you’re just a sore loser. Now go put up those solar panels like a good Moonbat….

You fail to understand that Al Gore has indeed honestly gone green. To the tune of over a hundred million green ones and rising faster than the fabricated sea rises he speaks so confidently of. He must expect the seas to rise, because he did recently purchase a six figure houseboat – ready to star as Noah II.
