Really? I don't expect anyone else to pay for my choices to ski or
anything else.

BTW, did that phony 1,700 number first reach you through FoxNews, or do
you also frequent other anti-news sources?

I think I got it from CNN. It's been widely reported. NBC is the most
"anti news" source I know of though.

Big dose of global warming set to hit the east coast this week too.

CNN also reported this...

I don't like people ****ing on my boots and telling me it's raining. I
like to do my own research. That's why I'm a scientist. I keep
hearing that CO2 is a greenhouse gas and it's increasing. I checked
on the spectrographic analysis and found that CO2 barely retains more
IR than Nitrogen. Nitrogen is 70% of the atmosphere, CO2 is 400ppm.


This signature is now the ultimate
power in the universe

Atmospheric Nitrogen (N2) is pretty much transparent to IR.

Bzzt! Wrong answer. It's not. Show me where you got this
information. I'm willing to check this out. BTW, N2 is 70% of the
stuff you breathe and CO2 is 400ppm. For those of you who don't like
to do the math, you hire math majors like me to do it for you. N2 is
700,000ppm while CO2 is 400 ppm. Which one is worse?

1. Nitrogen is nearly EIGHTY percent of the atmosphere.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmosphere_of_Earth

2. Nitrogen is essentially NOT a greenhouse gas:

"Certain gases in the atmosphere have the property of absorbing
infrared radiation. Oxygen and nitrogen the major gases in the
atmosphere do not have this property."

http://www.elmhurst.edu/~chm/vchembook/globalwarmA5.html


"This ability to absorb and re-emit infrared energy is what makes CO2
an effective heat-trapping greenhouse gas. Not all gas molecules are
able to absorb IR radiation. For example, nitrogen (N2) and oxygen
(O2), which make up more than 90% of Earth's atmosphere, do not absorb
infrared photons. CO2 molecules can vibrate in ways that simpler
nitrogen and oxygen molecules cannot, which allows CO2 molecules to
capture the IR photons."

"While the dominant gases of the atmosphere (nitrogen and oxygen) are
transparent to infrared, the so-called greenhouse gasses, primarily
water vapor (H2O), CO2, and methane (CH4), absorb some of the infrared
radiation."

Is that enough, or must I beat you over the head with your own
deliberate ignorance for a while longer?

Too bad, so sad for you: wrong... ...again.



Nitrous Oxide, on the other hand, is more powerful a greenhouse gas
than CO2, and also reduces atmospheric ozone.

I already know this. This is correct by my scientific checking.

Not bad for a guy who plays the banjo.
