See heres the thing I don't understand about the climate change argument. Lets say, just for giggles, that we can't do anything about the temperature change, its gonna do what its gonna do. So the right would have us believe all we've got to do is roll back environmental restrictions and the economy will ramp up and everybody will be happy right?
So what happens when you can't breathe? I've seen pictures of the Nashua river not far from my house ON FIRE. Thats what lax regulation does to us, business pushes to make stuff as cheap as possible because most people only see hoarding as much cheaply made junk as possible and to get stuff as cheap as possible means pollution. You can breathe in the LA basin again, the smog is way, way down. This has been in no small part to more efficient cars but probably more to do with pollution scrubbers on power plants. There aren't as many wild fires any more either which I'm sure helps a lot... Theres only so much air, I see lots of "scientists" that'll tell you theres such a huge amount of atmosphere that we can pollute all we want but if you go back 100 years "scientists" were saying the same thing about water. "Dump anything you want in the ocean, it'll clean it theres a bazzilion gallons of water there!" Guess what, you throw enough pollution somewhere it gets back to you eventually. When it comes to the atmosphere what goes up must come down. This is one of the few places I seriously disagree with Ron Paul, he says abolish the EPA and the market will "work it out", I say "yeah right". I also don't believe people or markets are in any way rational, one trip to Wal-Mart should show you that. -Curt Date: Sun, 19 Jan 2014 14:18:22 -0500 From: Rich Thomas <richthomas79td...@constructivity.net> To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Subject: Re: [MBZ] Warming, was Coleman collectors WAS: low cost 3D metal printer Message-ID: <52dc24fe.4060...@constructivity.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed So these mountains (Torres del Paine in Chile) https://www.dropbox.com/s/0ochn324lfcwm6w/TdP211.jpg some 12k or 20k years ago were under a kilometer or more of ice. The brown part on top is sedimentary rock from when they were under water, and the granite on the bottom is bedrock, it was all scraped down by glaciers. So at some point in the past, before Suburbans and CFPPs it was REALLY warm, and then it got REALLY cold, and now it is getting warm again. So, my view is that there is global climate change, but the climate has been changing for a loooooooong time, and yeah maybe my Suburban is contributing, but there seems to be adequate precedent for it happening. What is more recent is the redistribution schemes being promoted by the warmists, and that sorta annoys me. --R _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
