Default Guidelines To Follow When Buying Hybrid Cars

One of the major problems that we are facing nowadays when it comes to
environmental concern is global warming and if we continue to become
negligent of all the things that are contributing to make this global
problem bigger, we could only find ourselves being in the middle of it
helpless. Luckily, there is one thing that we could do to contribute
to save Mother Earth and at the same time, give us numerous benefits.

Default Guidelines To Follow When Buying Hybrid Cars


How the **** am I supposed to get my boat to the reservoir with a
hybrid.

If all you retards that think global warming is man made just walk
everywhere and don't have any kids you'll at least live up to the hype
you lay on the rest of us.

What proof do you have humans are not exasperating global warming?


Well, it's hard to prove a negative. Of course, there's plenty of
evidence showing that human activity *is* exacerbating GW, so the null
hypothesis has to be rejected.

Not that logic, facts, or analysis will make a damn bit of difference to
the dittoheads. Some people are just not worth arguing with.


From
the graphs I've seen, the dy/dx is increasing faster than anyone can find
in the past (not to say it hasn't happened before and all we need is a good
volcano to rupture for a year or so and we could get some cooling).

Cold now though, we need some moisture. A few inches here and there isn't
going to do much for the snowpack or rockpack.



Planning on getting any turns in over the next couple of days? We're
looking at cold and (a little) snow for the forseeable forecast, so I'll
be out again this weekend. Unfortunately, no signs of mountains.

trailer hitch?
you do recognize that an electric motor has (much) better torque than
your piston motor, particularly when first starting up the ramp upon
haulout?

absolutely there are too many people; you sound like a Youropee-an.

I'm going to play devil's advocate here. If it was such a crisis then
why 1.) Does Al Gore have a multi-million dollar beach house at Figure
Eight Island in NC. It is a barrier island that has been hard hit in
past years by hurricanes. Even a 1 ft increase in sea level would cost
millions in property damage.
2.) Why did Al Gore spend $30,000 on personal energy on his Nashville
home last year? 3.) Does Al Gore possess a commercial airline
schedule? 4.) How much money has he made off of Global Warming - even
that so-called charity he claims to be giving his Nobel Peace Prize
(goodness me right up there with Arafat, Annan, Jimmah etc.) to is a
organization he started and heads up - look it up - can you spell tax
write-off? 4.) How can any so-called energy treaty not include China
and India since they are the most populous countries on the planet -
it's ludicrous and can't even be argued as being a legitimate start.
5.) Al Gore was just invited to join a Venture Capital partnership as
a lobbyist in order to influence govt spending priorities - at stake
billions (his stake is enormous). 5.) Al Gore was a mediocre student
at best and in the sciences he had a cumulative C- in three bathtub
courses. He also dropped out/flunked of graduate school. I know, I was
there. 6.) He is a proven liar - Internet? Chinese political
donations? Mt. Kilamanjaro glaciers have not shrunk due to global
warming - the temps have been well below freezing for years - answer -
evaporation - lower precipitation.

Inquiring minds want to know - can you say CONFLICT OF INTEREST.

There are, finally, more educated scientists every day that are
disputing his so-called "facts". His so-called consensus contains many
more non-scientists than scientists (I even think Tipper's hairdresser
is on the list). He even includes names of those who think it's all a
lie. The meteorologist who is the Hurricane Specialist at Colorado
State calls Gore's campaign a scam. The meteorologist that started the
Weather Channel calls it a huge scam. Many of the scientists on the
IPCC say Gore's positions are ridiculous. The dissension is growing by
the day and not from petroleum whores. I've seen Gore's Ice core
presentation shredded by "Real" Climatologists. They have stated that
the ice cores show that CO2 increases have occurred AFTER past warming
episodes.

Having said all of this the lessons to be learned a

1.) Al Gore is a massive liar and will sell you down the river in a
nanosecond. He doesn't care if you can support your family or not.
2.) Be extraordinarily careful when people start claiming a
"consensus". I would you suggest you read "Extraordinary Delusions and
the Madness of Crowds". It was written in the 1850's and provides
marvelous insight into "mob" i.e consensus mentality. And it still
holds true today - look at the ongoing "subprime mortgage" disaster.
3.) The GREAT scientists were the mavericks those who shunned the
consensus. At one point, the earth was the center of the universe, the
world was flat and infectious disease was caused by night vapors (mid-
nineteenth century). I've seen demonstrations about flexible composite
body armor dating back to the ancient greeks. From what I've seen, man
has no more insight into his place in the universe than he did 2500
years ago. 99.9% of people cannot comprehend time in a geologic or
cosmic time frame.
4.) If it doesn't smell right - remember statistics can prove anything
- even NASA has gone back and revised the numbers - The hottest decade
in the 20th century is now claimed to be the 1930's not the 1990's.
5.) NASA scientists have also stated within the last two weeks that
ocean current in the Arctic has been responsibile for ice shrinkage -
it is beginning to reverse itself. I don't know how old you are but in
the 1970's the media was freaked about a impending ice age. 80-90's
Ozone - it's going back to normal when the media claimed that it was
man made and we would all suffer radiation poisoning for decades.
6.) The media is so totally biased and stupid that you cannot believe
anything they say. By all counts it is the lowest-regarded profession
- **** I even think drug-dealers have a higher rating.
7.) If CO2 Global Warming is occurring, then why hasn't anyone even
APPROACHED the REAL SOURCE of the problem - 6-7 billion poeple on the
planet and growing. All of the rest of this **** doesn't mean doodly
squat if population growth isn't stopped cold. More people = more CO2
- no way 'round it. My Peterbilt isn't going to make a bit of
difference. How serious is the UN about Warming when they just want
to redistribute $86 billion with no controls on population?

My recommendations a

1.) Do your own research - don't buy any one person's tirade (ahem )
2.) Conserve - it only makes economic sense.
3.) Relax - The Earth has enormous ability to correct imbalances -
there have been unbelievable events in the past so beyond our ability
to comprehend or correct.
4.) We're all going to die at some point despite what the media says -
Bugs Bunny once said - "Don't take life too seriously because no one
gets out of it alive".
5.) For what it's worth, it seems warmer to me but some how I think
it's related to that big yellow thing in the sky. Miniscule orbital
variations can wreak havoc on climate.


PS:
I will have to state my bias here. I was a science undergrad (senior)
when Al started grad school. I detest the ****er - he's never earned a
goddamn thing - silver spoon - father was senior Senator from
Tennessee (a lying scheming SOB - major league asshole). Al Jr. was an
unfocused pothead. The last math course he ever took was in high
school.

Well, that's true. All one has to do is look at a locomotive - the
actual traction motors are electric.

I've never seen a more clear and concise theory to refute global
warming. It's so obvious when you put it that way. Al Gore is proof
that gloabl warming does not exist. Congratulations!

Let's talk about the existence of god next. In your opinion would Bush
being a total buffoon and hypocirite (did I spell that right?) prove
god does not exist?

You didn't have to tell us that. That's obvious! Pure genius!

No. The proper spelling is "incompetent asshole". But thanks for playing.

Science undergrad? What kind of podunk school offers a major in
"science"? Chemistry, Physics, Geology, Biology, sure but "science"? WTF?
