  I agree with the problem with American investment money. We inflated the value of houses artificially with borrowed money from the rest of the world. Instead of building manufacturing, building infrastructure, etc. What % of GNP went into houses? Even when venture capitalists backed American startups, they required business plans to do the manufacturing overseas. I think it vital for the U.S. to get its captial working to grow our country.On American stimulus funds benefiting foreign wind energy firms posted 2 weeks, 6 days ago 8 Responses

  "May" cool -- how much? back to 1970?. There's nothing to fear in that, aside from the fact that it's unlikely to happen. There's much to fear in the current weather: historic episodes of severe or catastrophic flooding in Europe the American southest and northern NE, huge fires in Greece, California, Australia due to current droughts, rapid heating and melting of the Arctic, high winds increasing, the permafrost of Siberia melting. That's so far, and the increased CO2 that's up there already has NOT finished heating (come to thermal equilibrium). Put another way, when you turn up the thermostat, the house begins to warm but it takes a while to get up to your set temperature. Carbon dioxide (along with other greenhouse gasses) controls the earth's heat balance, its temperature. Adding carbon dioxide resets the heat balance up. Loosing ice reduces the sunlight reflected back into space, and allows more heating. Some people won't believe global warming until they see water in the streets of New York City. And then they'll agree to take what action?On "Global cooling" scam debunked yet again posted 2 weeks, 6 days ago 17 Responses

  "Free" thinker? You can't google to find the temperature data that shows global warming but you think better than other people? In case you are sincere, try to read Wikipedia's article on global warming. It's succinct and shows the data.On "Global cooling" scam debunked yet again posted 3 weeks, 3 days ago 17 Responses

  The professional deniers are more active than ever. A serious climate bill may be passed this year. A yarn generated by a denier/liar flashes through the denier blog sites within hours. They are all linked by email and their followers then begin posting on legitimate web sites. Or professional trolls using multiple ids, who knows? Lately the biggest pitch is that the world is cooling (NOT TRUE, see NOAA or NASA web pages). This is the more plausible because the east and midwest of the U.S. is cold this year, although the rest of the world is hotter than normal. If someone brings that up to you, just say, "that's local weather, not climate, and not happening in the rest of the world." A book just came out on the denier industry "Climate Cover-Up: The Crusade to Deny Global Warming" by James Hoggan. If you really want a lot of details on the sordid cottage industry that works to confuse the public about the danger to our planet, get a hold of this book. I hear too many friends and relatives quoting denier nonsense. Many of them don't know where they got it from.On The climate science fight club posted 3 weeks, 6 days ago 14 Responses
