TIP-TOP INFOLINE

CAUSE:

Carl Jones needs to take my high school environmental studies class. Global warming is caused by humans and is taught and proved at every high school.Jones states that the sun affects our climate the most. This is true, but can someone explain how the sun, composed of only hydrogen and helium, adds 200 billion tons of carbon dioxide to our planet?Jones says that plants use carbon dioxide to grow, which again is true. But when the rain forest loses 1.5 acres every second due to deforestation, there is little comfort in that small fact.Lastly, Jones states that water vapor, not CO2, is the largest greenhouse gas. This is completely false.The real test of a model is its ability to make accurate and measurable predictions -- particularly daring and unexpected predictions. Einstein predicted that light would bend when it passed a large gravitational field, and during a subsequent eclipse it was shown that he was right.

Have the global-warming models made any such risky predictions, and if so, when and how were they independently validated? They claim to be able to predict weather 90 years from now, but can they predict the weather in North America for the next 24 months, on a month-by-month basis, with precision and accuracy? What will be the average monthly temperature by region in each of the next 24 months? The average rainfall? And are these any different from the natural fluctuations that have been recorded for the best 100 years?If this is asking too much, then what can they predict?Come on, guys, show us what you can do! The better your predictions, the more credibility your model will have. Otherwise, why should we believe these models give us anything worth believing? If they can prove their credibility by making accurate predictions, then maybe we will have some reason to believe in them. Otherwise, these models are nothing better than GIGO -- garbage in, garbage out.

SUGGESTION:

They want to give preferential treatment for building permits for "green" buildings. They are advocating social engineering and "re- educating" the public. This should scare every single American.One guest was almost an hour late. He took public transportation. What does that cost in lost productivity, lost family time, etc.? In Seattle the City Council is considering banning beach bonfires, and Minneapolis says you can't idle your car for more than three minutes.For what? A hoax! Man-made global warming. Just look at what politicians (they are experts, after all) are proposing to combat this hoax. Every one of them is expensive, dictate to us what we can drive, how much energy we can use, what we can do for recreation, etc. It is about taking down our economy and capitalism. It is about control and growing government. Our freedom is at stake for a hoax.Our young politicians have jumped on the environmentalist global- warming bandwagon. They are too young to remember the global- cooling mania of the 1970s. Those in their 80s and 90s need to be patient and realize that the enviros' global-warming mania will fade away, just as the fear of an ice age -- spread by the enviros of the 1970s -- faded away.spot activity and global temperature have been almost identical for as long as such records havebeen produced.
