This has allowed our current warmer spell to last longer than the 800 yr cycle normally allows but the bad part is breathable oxygen is locked up with Carbon atoms awaiting plants to release it. Humans and other large mammals require alot of O2 to survive, so it would be nice to take a moment to examine how we can do better, but drastic change is NOT the answer. this is the basic fact that most scientists agree on, however people who are trying to make a profit I.E. gore have blown it so far out of proportion that nobody believes the simple truth.
There is truth to both sides of the global warming debate. Only like two but they are there. FACT: the earth's temp rises and falls on a fairly regular basis. FACT: the CO2 naturally rises. Those are two solid facts for the "we don't make a difference group". FACT: O2 in the atmosphere increases with CO2 due to more of the earth's surface being covered with larger plants that, thanks to global warming, have nice hotter climates. however, when the earths surface that those plants once grew on is taken up by asphalt and cities, the O2 doesn't rise. The real problem with increased CO2 is when there is not enough photosynthesis to cancel the CO2 out.
let's not forget painting our roofs white and driving white cars. You know it's funny, movies like equilibrium and the matrix seem to take things way out of proportion. Or do they....
I don't think that you're understanding things chuck. Bush finishes reading a book after 911 (30 mins or so) before leaving to decide what to do next, and he's flamed royally. Obama waits 4 days before approving ANY action to save that captain's life and he's praised for "swift, decisive action". really? Obama's eventual decision to move in is the FIRST decision he's made that I can agree with, but it really should have been made after 10 hrs, which is about how long it would have taken to have seal team 6 under that boat. That's what the problem is. Bush or Obama, if a president waits that long to take decisive action, he should be criticized because what will his action be when something big happens? sit on hands for a week? the man would have approved a 1000000000 dollar spending plan in 5 mins were it up to him. come on people
exactly. If you climb aboard a ship armed you should be marked as fair game and if you're lucky enough to survive the encounter you ought to be hung at the next harbor. and there should be a small arms locker on every ship, if not a security detail.
I think there should be a niche for a high end security company(or 100) to make money and keep our shipping lines safe. Vessels that are travelling that route should have adequate access to "insurance" in the form of 10 ex military soldiers armed to defend the ships from pirates. This would drastically reduce the willingness of pirates to attack ships, at least after the first 2 or 3 pirate groups leave and don't return. And why on earth is the media even giving these goons a voice? that just legitimizes their agenda. Ooh look the americans (or rutgers) is sticking a camera and microphone in my face so I can publicly criitcize and threaten. What on earth is wrong with the world?
Nice. Imagine the turmoil within acorn. 1400 people who claim to be Thomas Jefferson. Let the group go bankrupt collecting founding father's names.
wow. new low.... I wonder when free speech becomes a right extended only to those in favor of this current administration, or the government as a whole. What would they use that info for? Send the IRS to our door because we disagree?
hahaha. acorn is the reason the blind squirrel (Obama) found his nut. That is an institution which thrives on the fact that a large part of the country has abandoned it's ethics and values. They wouldn't be an entity were it not for the fact that there are people who find no problem with registering and voting for whoever will give them a pack of gum. The politics really need to stay out of the census.
It's a bs way of doing the primaries, they should amend that process to only a couple of weeks so that all the options are still on the table for all the states to vote on! that would take away the ability of one party to "jump parties" and get the weakest option voted to move on. Just like a presidential election.
