I think it's all about money (like Al Gore and his "carbon credits"), and the enviro-wacko's. All this green energy garbage, like solar and wind costs a fortune, compared to coal, gas, & oil.
I think you have hit, on something.
Al Gore got the greenhouse effect, the climate change, and part of the urgency, but Al never wanted legal hemp, the entire time he was in any office, so he just ups the controversy, with a hedge, which will cost a lot of money, where funding is already stressed, namely cap and trade and carbon credits, etc.
So along comes Barack Obama, and in January 2008, Senator Obama claims his "plan" will increase energy prices. But Obama is an attorney, connected to the DP, so he does not intend to lead. He and Al Gore would rather stir up all kinds of nutjob media, collect as much money, as they can get, and run some kind of dive.
DP and RP gridlock and boondoggle geeks are playing us, to get money. This is true. There are 450,000 elected officials and countless appointed officials, in the USA. Many of them are just geeking us, while pretending to oppose each other. Vote DP or RP only if you have to. But we will have to force politicians, to sensible spending. We can't do any of that, if nutjob media keeps coming out, about how science is religion, etc., etc. No politicians will take anybody seriously, at all, if that nonsense keeps coming out, of the peanut galleries, of the Earth.
We should have gotten rid of religion, so we could have freedom FROM religion and seditious conspirators, connected to religions. Benedict says people who don't believe in global warming are atheists. He means well.
But that carbon credit crap just leaves everybody in a nutjob freakout. That idea is out of any sensible battle order. But hey, some people just like to do wars, so they can get other people, to go out and die. Seen this?
In order to generate real funding, somebody has to take out the drug war, freeing up funds and hemp. We need algae and switchgrass and ultrasound processing. We need radical re-greening, ASAP, but no known DP or RP pollies are up to the task. As a result, global warming is past tipping points, to become
runaway global warming. Another bad aspect of this is all kinds of nutjobs are in traffic, claiming animals or aliens used chainsaws, to cause the warming, so humans aren't responsible, for stewarding the Earth.
Nutjobs from the left and right being what they are, all are ignoring, how CO2 ALWAYS peaks out, at 280 ppm, during any Pleistocene-Holocene Thermal Maximum events, and then it starts, slowly downward, over 80-100K years, to force temperatures down, with it, until CO2 reaches 180 ppm, and then it shoots up, in just a few thousand years, to force a new thermal maximum.
But hey! Somebody got into burning wood, coal, oil, and anything that catches fire, while whacking forests, with chainsaws. Do we know anybody, who would simultaneously emit GHGs, while killing CO2-respirators? Try this: PEOPLE!
It wasn't Animal Global Warming. It wasn't Alien Global Warming. It is ANTHROPOGENIC GLOBAL WARMING, which has been caused, by several kinds of human activity, over years.
See that red line, way over on the right? That is what happened, to CO2 concentrations, in a geologic instant. It is now about 400 ppm, while CH4 (methane) is no longer measured, in ppb. CH4 has a greenhouse gas potential, of 72, over 20 years, and it can stay around, since a lot of it is out-gassing, from warming Arctic lands and waters and ice, with even more CO2. The CH4 won't break down, since OH- ions can get used up, so CH4 won't break down, to CO2 and H2O, in the atmosphere. An insignificant amount breaks down, in the earth.
CO2 is headed, for 1000 ppm. It will be at 450 ppm, by 2050. A lot of us will be dead, by then. We will probably be into Mass Extinction Event 6, by 2022, according to some estimates. We are out-gassing CO2 and CH4, faster than before either the PETM extinction or the P-T mass extinction. The Permian-Triassic Event is the deadliest killer, of all mass extinctions, in geologic time. We'd need a meteorite strike or a nuclear disaster, to beat that killer, but we will for sure lose most ocean fish and a lot of land species and families.
Solar intensity is mild, over the past few decades. Our current sunspot cycle 24 will feature 90 spots, the least since the cycle which peaked in 1928 came out, with 68 spots.
Ice is melting, bigtime. The heat exchange for this process means average global temperatures should go DOWN, but they aren't going down, they are going UP, with a lot of high-temp records set, in the past year.
We are projected to set high temp records, at 20-1, versus low temp records, by 2050. This will morph, to 50-1, by 2100. The Earth is HEATING UP. The climate is changing. With more heat AND water in the climate system, we will see exaggerated natural disasters, including more droughts and floods, so we have too much of anything we are getting, while that cap and glacial ice melts.
Then the sea level will go up. The ocean will kill its life-forms, by acidification, at first, but then the oceans will get warm and anoxic. Jellyfish will take over, as the top predator. After humans have all but gone, HS2-respirators will evolve, like they have, in the past.
Guess what is going to happen? We are going to run out of funding AND time, simultaneously, since humans aren't very smart. Some humans are going to argue, with the CIA, Navy, and DOD, about their funding, of strategic climate centers. I wouldn't do THAT, bunkies.
Anti-climate change skeptics are going to go the way of people, who used to argue, how the earth is flat, but it isn't, you know? Anti-climate change skeptics are going to go the way, of HIV-carriers, who tricked and shot speed, to push their lethal doses, all the way, through AIDS, to death. The bath-houses are closed.
I don't believe, in God. See the trend?
