Kyoto Treaty is Dead
Supporters of the Kyoto treaty, give up. When NPR runs a segment that shows that Kyoto is as dumb as everyone else knows it is, it's time to give it up.
The Ugly American has a post with all the details. It seems that scientists just now discovered that plants produce methane. And one of the requirements of the Kyoto treaty is to reduce your country's methane levels.
So, loony environmentalists, in order to effectively comply with Kyoto, each country needs to raze their leafy plants and trees. Nice.
Can you say, "NATURAL PROCESSES?"
I didn't think so.

In the last chapter of "Slander", Ann Coulter said the left was clinging to charges that man causes "global warming" because it was the only issue in which it would take Republicans a thousand years to prove them wrong.
Well, it looks like the schedule's been moved up, LOL.
I guess now they'll have to find a way to blame greenhouse gas production by trees on Bush.

I remember just a few years ago, it was all blamed on cow farts -- so in order to stop global warming we had to stop eating beef. Yeah, that one got them real far, too.

There could be man made parts to global warming, however, from alot of reading I have been doing into this subject, they may be offsetting the potential for another mini ice age, such as the Earth had between the 1400's and 1800's. My opinion has changed from believing that it is happening to "I'm not sure." Too much conflicting evidence. The leftoids need to stop with the hyperinflated rhetoric and concentrate on true science.
Anyhow, cow farts. Didn't Pelosi author that study?

No, Pelosi's study was cow patties...
And yes, there's SO much conflicting evidence, I don't think we'll ever be able to determine the solution. For example, when clearcutting was going on at a huge rate in central and south America, the global amount of evil ozone was reduced -- so should we clear-cut all trees to save the ozone layer?

I read Michael Crichtons "State of Fear" over Christmas, and started doing more research. You remember that I used to believe that it was happening. Evidence changes that.
I think that one of the problems we see is that the global warming believers rely on computer models, rather then hard scientific research. They also miss the point that the Earth is always in flux. Plates move, volcano's go off, ice melts, etc. The Sun puts out more radiation or less. It could be a good year for plankton or a bad year, meaning more CO2 to O2 or less conversion.
The true believers do not want to hear anything to the opposite, or that even says "we do not really know." If man is creating issues, I would like to know. Flourocarbons were bad. That was proven. What is happening with CO2, methane, etc, is unknown. But it cannot be discussed with the True Believers, just like one cannot discuss politics with Surrender Monkeys rationally. Which is a shame.

Very true that evidence changes things. After reading that book, all I have to say is "Hockey Stick Graph."

why dont you all stop talking about cow farts and who studied them or not - get off your computers and DO something about it? instead of talking?? When has simple discussing who is right or wrong ever done anything?
Hitler was wrong about what he did - but he didnt sit around and talk he did something!
need i go on?

mmMMmm...Chicken

This evening, I'm going to Kentucky Fried Chicken to buy a big bucket of chicken. I don't usually get chicken from KFC -- in the south, Bojangles usually does much better. But all
the morons bringing KFC to my attention has just made me hungry. I suggest you help KFC and go buy a bucket today.
Maybe we should have a blogospheric-wide "Buy a KFC Bucket" day...

Wow, on a fluke we wen tto KFC for lunch today. I love their honey BBQ wings. Now I'm really glad I did. I never thought Pam Anderson was attractive, now she just seems like an idiot on top of it. Hey, she is blonde!

I had a whole bucket of wings today.

Wish they still served that Rotisserie Gold they had a few years back.

Pam Anderson should be sued for continued cruelty to her boobs. If chickens were subjected to all the constant medical attention her boobs get PETA would have a case for animal cruelty.
I think we should start a "Free Pam's Boobs" campaign.
Everybody chant with me: Free Pams Boobs Free Pams Boobs

Free Boobs! Free Boobs!
What?

I agree, KFC is a great American company with a delicious product. In addition, the endorsement from PETA of KFC already brings me by there about every couple of weeks or so.

Factually Challenged Journalists
In case you're wondering what point of view is being taught in places of "higher learning," things like this pass as factual information:
There is no question that the world is warming at an unprecedented rate, due largely to the burning of fossil fuels.
Actually,
Kim Curtis, that idea is quite in question. There is little data and a large number of scientists that do question the idea that fossil fuels are responsible for global warming, and a large number that question that global warming is even occurring.
But, Ms. Curtis teaches political science at Duke University. Keep that in mind next time you hear from a candidate who attended Duke with a poly sci major -- they're being taught that ideas are facts. Who knows what other agenda-driven political lies are being passed off as facts?

Thanks very much on both accounts, James!!!

It always amazes me (well, maybe not) that it is the PolySci folks who believe these kinds of things to be fact. (Heck, why is it even called "PolySci" it isn't science. Not by a long shot.)

Poly-loonies, if you ask me.

I don't remember being told that was a fact when I was getting my polisci degree. Then again maybe I was too busy studying war theory to learn about global warming.

And maybe you didn't learn from this current crop of "professors."

Unfortunately this is not just limited to PolySci. Journalists with similar ideas quote each other, politicians feel like if they say things enough people will believe them, marketing specialists think they can claim anything and it is true.
I have found profound truth in what one of my mentors said, "Perception is reality, the truth is only the truth."
Best wishes for a great New Year!

Smokey, Smokey...stop trying to ruin their agenda with facts. When facts don't fit, they are simply ignored in favor of the agenda. It's for the children, you know.
And good point, David -- the truth IS the truth, but SO many people are completely willing to ignore it.
