Carbon Dioxide Kills…at least the EPA thinks so

Posted by Taylor on March 27th, 2009 under Environment Tags: , , ,  •  4 Comments

The EPA recently made a finding that carbon dioxide is a “pollutant that endangers the public’s health and welfare.”  ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!
Someon please explain to me how carbon dioxide, you know, the gas that comes out of every human’s mouth and nose every time they exhale, has suddenly become a danger to our health and welfare!
Someone please [...]

I wrote an earlier post about the list of scientists-that believe climate change is natural-being compiled by Senator James Inhofe of Oklahoma.  Well, the list is growing.  In fact, Japanese scientists are on the brink of rejecting all the IPCC findings. 
“Dr Maruyama said yesterday there was widespread scepticism among his colleagues about the IPCC’s fourth [...]

The stimulus bill is more expensive than the Iraq and Afghanistan war combined. 
“As a nation, we got into this mess by spending and investing money that didn’t exist. We won’t get out of it by doing more of the same.”  Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK).  That is why it is called a bubble.  There’s nothing of [...]

David Evans worked in the Australia Greenhouse Office from 1999 to 2005 and wrote the carbon accounting model that tracks Australia’s compliance with the Kyoto Protocol.  When he started his job back in 1999, he thought the evidence for man-made warming was pretty good.  Now he says this, “We have not found any actual evidence that [...]

Battery-powered cars are the rage at this year’s Auto Show in Detroit and everyone knows why.  A government bailout has a lot to do with it, but quite simply, these electric cars are supposed to save the world from catastrophic global warming. 
Meanwhile, outside the convention center in Detroit, today it was -12 degrees.  That is [...]

Global Tempatures Decrease 0.1 Degrees in 2008

I wish I could cite the scientific source, but I heard on CNBC yesterday that global temperatures actually decreased in 2008.  Where’s the Time’s cover page article on this?  So much for disappearing ice caps.  Now this isn’t a call to go out and start burning tires, but I do think everyone has jumped on [...]

From the New York Times:
“The trillions of farm animals around the world generate 18 percent of the emissions that are raising global temperatures, according to United Nations estimates, more even than from cars, buses and airplanes.

“It’s an area that’s been largely overlooked,” said Dr. Rajendra Pachauri, head of the Nobel Prize-winning United Nations Intergovernmental Panel [...]

Another View on Gas Taxes and Alternatives

Sorry this is kind of long.
I am pretty tired of subsidies and mandates for alternative energies.  Think about it.  The govt is paying part of the price for alternative energy and it is still more expensive than oil and gas that the govt is taxing the crap out of (anyone know how many cents per gallon [...]

Global What?

I have read quite a bit on the subject of global warming, I mean climate change. I don’t buy into the idea that the Expeditions, Escalades, and Tahoes of the world are responsible for it. Consider the fact that there were apparently multiple ice ages before mankind ever lit a fire. In [...]
