[/ QUOTE ] No, but since you mention it newsbusters and people that control ICECAP are both on Exxons payroll. I find it curious how this seems to be your defacto sarcastic response to everything on this topic. As far as Coleman well he was a TV weather personality since he was a freshman in college. It's true that he helped start the weather channel but that too is more about TV land than actual science. Coleman was fired from the weather channel after only one year despite it's success. He's known for his crazy antics and using cute little words like "thorms" or "thowers". He's a TV personality and nothing more. Just because he's a meteorologist doesn't mean squat. Many T.V. meteorologists don't even have a bachelors in science. |

[/ QUOTE ] LOL it's not sarcastic, just front running the inevitable slam. You didn't disappoint me. Kind of like predicting that the price of oil would rise substantially on Wednesday, November 8, 2006 and recommending people buy oil company stocks with both fists. [sarcasm]BTW I realize that green movement is pure and that no tools are being paid to promote their agenda. I also realize nobody promoting "green" will make a penny off of getting their agenda implemented.[/sarcasm] But hey I took your advice and purchased carbon offsets from TerraPass for a year so I'm cool, sort of like Al Gore is cool in offsetting his behemouth carbon footprint. Maybe not Nobel Peace Prize winning cool but still pretty good. |

[/ QUOTE ] Well if you hadn't brought up the oil thing I probably wouldn't have mentioned it the Exxon connections. The quality levels of American meteorologists is something of a hot topic right now even within the AMS. That is a problem on par with Exxon. [ QUOTE ] [sarcasm]BTW I realize that green movement is pure and that no tools are being paid to promote their agenda. I also realize nobody promoting "green" will make a penny off of getting their agenda implemented.[/sarcasm] [/ QUOTE ] Conspiracy claims against politicians is one thing. There is obvious fraud going on there. Claiming monetary conspiracy against mathematicians, geologists and physicists that work in the field is a display of gross ignorance. Choose who you attack wisely. [ QUOTE ] But hey I took your advice and purchased carbon offsets from TerraPass for a year so I'm cool, [/ QUOTE ] Glad you are making an effort. That is quite noble of you especially in light of your skepticism. My review of TerraPass was a quick once over and it seemed good especially with the countless media endorsements. I had a lawyer friend review it and he said it was a brokerage firm which is something I know nothing about. My opinion has gone to neutral. [ QUOTE ] sort of like Al Gore is cool in offsetting his behemouth carbon footprint. Maybe not Nobel Peace Prize winning cool but still pretty good. [/ QUOTE ] Adios, my favorite line of Al Gores is "a planet has a fever". Al Gore has contributed greatly to the science (such as fighting to declassify ice sheet thickness measurements from cold war nuclear submarines) but can cause just as much trouble as he solves. I don't understand why the public is fascinated with him. Maybe it's because he's so polarizing. He obviously gets under your skin (and I'll admit mine as well). I'm curious as to why this entire topic seems to aggravate you so much. You seem to be in a full on war to debunk AGW. You are a smart man. You bought TerraPass so it would seem you know what is obvious to every major scientific institution on the planet. Why do you choose to so fervently attack AGW instead of the moronic bureaucrats that try to ram Kyoto down our throats. Ignoring a problem won't make it go away. The only thing you can do is focus your efforts on making sure the solution will be one you agree with. |

Re: Weather Channel Founder says\"Global Warming is Biggest Scam in His
it's a scam because if the purpose wasn't greater taxation and control (which is the real purpose of the scam), then the real logical thing to do would be to pump money into solar power.
the nano solar guys are saying solar will be competitive within 5 years, if they can just be left alone to do their thing. the article below reads like an ad and probably is, but the reality is that the infant nanotech industry is headed there. it's a lot money to retool, and if g.w. were real, the gov could spend a lot of money on nano solar research, and then a lot of money on retooling the economy away from oil and onto solar. the fact that they just want to tax and regulate and control more, and that's it, as a responsse to manmade global warming is the biggest reason it can't be real. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/mai...9/ccview19.xml [ QUOTE ] The "tipping point" will arrive when the capital cost of solar power falls below $1 (51p) per watt, roughly the cost of carbon power. We are not there yet. The best options today vary from $3 to $4 per watt - down from $100 in the late 1970s. Mr Sethi believes his product will cut the cost to 80 cents per watt within five years, and 50 cents in a decade. It is based on a CIGS (CuInGaSe2) semiconductor compound that absorbs light by freeing electrons. This is then embedded on the polymer base. It will be ready commercially in late 2009. "It'll even work on a cold, grey, cloudy day in England, which still produces 25pc to 30pc of the optimal light level. That is enough, if you cover half the roof," he said. "We don't need subsidies, we just need governments to get out of the way and do no harm. They've spent $170bn subsidising nuclear power over the last thirty years," he said. [/ QUOTE ] |

I think the extreme increase in the polar bear population within the last year would corroborate his view.

[/ QUOTE ] no I mean like a manhattan project for solar energy, and then a lot of programs to get individuals and businesses and industries to switch over. I mean, right now renewable energy is just a waste for 99% because it just isn't cost competitive. |
