So let me get this straight…simply because someone is not pleased with how he has conducted himself and disagrees with you in regards to security is not insightful?  Don’t you just love one sided politics?

It is actually thought by many economists that FDR’s New Deal caused the United States to stay in the depression/recession much longer than if nothing was done at all.  One thing people don’t understand is this, while a big one, is in part a market correction.  With market corrections comes drops in prices and indices, but this also gives businesses with profitable/successful business plans(see GM, see Chrysler…NOT)  a chance to grow and take advantage of low costs.  Raising taxes is in no way going to help anything with the exception of government programs which is exactly why these protests took place.  Taxes are taxes and we “all” have to pay them (all being in quotes because all of us actually don’t…).  What we need to do is exactly what Obama said he was going to do which is surgically take out wasteful spending from the budget and most importantly streamline this overgrown so-called government and create an efficient working government.  The biggest problem is the definition between the two parties of what is or is not wasteful spending.  Enough ranting…

A few responses down, some annonymous boneheads point out two incorrect causes of climate change in the past.  Whether or not the dinosaurs were killed by an meteorite is another story.  What is incorrect is the fact that the meteorite caused a carbon buildup in the atmosphere.  The meteorite actually put particulate matter into the upper atmosphere which caused cooling and 70% of the earth’s species were killed.  Second, the little ice age may have been caused by volcanoes, but not because of the carbon they spewed out.  Again, it was particulate matter which caused less solar radiation ot enter the atmosphere causing a cooling.  This can also explain the cooling between the 1950’s and 1970’s.  Understand also, that carbon dioxide is not the direct cause of warming.  Carbon dioxide actually lags temperature change by about 10K years, as seen in ice core samples that go back 500K years.  If the temperature rises before the carbon dioxide levels do, how is this even considered to be the culprit of climate change?  Water vapor has a much higher head capactiy and actually makes up about 98 – 99% of greenhouse gases.  People need to research both sides before they react and give a B.S. response.

Anyone ever heard of colorado?

My dog is smarter than me.  He just took my job.  Needless to say, we are not on speaking terms anymore. 

Since when is hydroelectric and nuclear power polluting?

Well done? Well done what? Well done furthering a class war? Well done unconstitutionally taxing a certain group of people, most of whom I would bet had little control over the meltdown?  Why did all of these banks and firms fail/on the brink of failing? Because they have trillions in toxic debt.  Do you really think even a dumb business owner would put up money to people who couldn’t afford to pay it back?  Congress in 1998 made it a necessity that mortgages be given to more people, even if they couldn’t afford it.  THAT”S CRAZY! Maybe we should give congressmen a 90% tax for being incompetent!  Remeber, when you point the finger, there are 3 fingers pointing back at you.

I love how when people explained one reason for voting for Bush, it was “He seems like a real person.  Someone who I can have a beer with.”  At the time, supporters were met with constant ridicule and that reason was simply unacceptable.  Now?  Well of course it is okay!  He’s a cool guy, so he’s good in my book to be the president! 

I get frustrated with this.  First of all, CO2 is actually not the most prevalent greenhouse gas…water vapor is.  Since water vapor has a higher heat capacity, it actually has a much much larger impact on temperature.  This can be seen on a micro level in places like Houston, where humidity in the air retains the heat a great deal.  CO2 is not only a trace gas when considering greenhouse gases, it is even more so when thinking of the overall makeup of our atmosphere.  I appreciate the reference to ICECAP below.  A quality blog where people such as myself are not ridiculed for questioning poor science.  It has been shown through the study of ice core samples that CO2 levels actually lag temperature change by a few thousand years.  The earth undergoes a cycle where it goes through warming and cooling periods, these cooling periods are known as ice ages.  In every instance, the temperature spikes drastically which is followed by a correlating spike in ppm levels of CO2.  Currently, our planet is higher than pre-industrial carbon levels by a large amount (~100 PPM), yet as ICECAP reported recently, temperatures are actually not increasing.  My challenege to anyone interested in this topic is to do research on both ends of the spectrum.  After all, if you are attempting to make a point, it is a necessity that you are well informed on both sides of the issue.icecap.gov – great speculation blog 

I don’t believe these studies take into account reserves that are not economic currently at >$50 per barrel prices.  There are many, many, many (I could keep going!) more reserves available, but they are too expensive to get to in this market.  Also, lets not forget the oil shale in the western United States.  The amount of oil that can be extracted is greater than the reserves Saudi Arabia HAD!  I have seen predictions that oil prices can reach $350 per barrel, which could easily open up deep and harder to reach reserves not currently being drilled.
