Lol Howard bringing science to show the retards! no one want to argue with Howard on a scientific basis?
Lol So if we dont agree with you, we are retards. Brilliant show of confidence in your (and others on Getbig) ability to persuade people. Yeah - I know - this is GetBig and we are all retards. Just depends on who calls the other guy one first.
Id be more than happy to debate Howard on a scientific basis. "Global warming" aka "Climate change" "aka "If you don't agree with me you are a Neanderthal because I'm smarter than you are" is based on what many consider to be faulty science all along. But, the argument about this goes ad hominem within minutes, so its really an exercise in futility.
The history is that the climate has changed macroscopically many times since the earth formed. The trends and swings are so wide or long that once we realize something is happening, its about to change again anyways. By the way, if we were to all go green overnight, nothing would change climate wise within a few hundred years. Takes too long for the global physical chemical systems to react, and there are many other variables at play besides fossil fuel usage.
And its impossible to "go green" overnight anyways.( I work in the field of photovotaic cells and spend lots of time in Germany, the worlds leader in "green energy". At least they are realistic about how many decades this process will take, and the absolute limits of harnessing renewable energy sources)
It makes more sense to get off of, or reduce, oil and coal consumption because of the economic, health and political costs in using it, and the dependence on unstable sources of supply. Screw the global warming alarmists. All they do is inflame people, create new regulations and taxes that choke off innovation ( i work on a DOE project and trust me - they are not the people you want in charge of energy policy) and create polarization. Pay more attention to the economic mess we are heading into because of our dependence on black gold. Money talks, bullshit walks.
