The defeat of the American dream.
Yes the Communists have won.
While our government sits on their collective asses conducting endless investigations into political B.S. like Steroid use in baseball and how to best stab the military in the back in the middle of a war most of them Voted for, they have let our ENERGY infrastructure DIE in the hopes someone will invent some magical replacement for oil that doesn't exist. In the meantime we are stuck PAYING $4.00 plus a gallon and the Communists and Ruthless Dictators around the world who Don't give a DAMN about GLOBAL WARMING are drilling in their own back yard and Screwing us at the pump.
Global Warming or not this is not right. We are about to become a third world country and as such we will have no say over what anyone does to us or anyone else. We will no longer have the resources to influence Mexico Let alone anyone else. Our existance will be under the thumb of third world dictators and Communists.
Maybe it has gone too far and we cannot drill our way out of this mess. Does that mean we shouldn't try, NO!
Washington BOTH PARTIES You have DROPPED THE BALL!!!
Time to pick it up and get back in the game or else.
Drill Here Drill Now Pay Less!!!!

Earthquakes
Maybe I'm in denial but.
The earths' crust is on the move.
Over the past 20 years the number of worldwide earthquakes per year has doubled.http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0197840.html
Since 1890 the number of earthquakes per year have more than quadrupled.
Given this and the fact that global warming is happening on other planets in our solar system:
Is it not possible this is somehow responsible for the majority of global warming?

I kind of agree with your post. It really doesn't matter what is causing global warming.
The plain and simple fact is it is happening.
Whether it is caused by humans or just part of a natural cycle it is happening.
The question is what do we do about it?
If it is caused by a natural cycle there is nothing we can do to change it and it is about to get really cold as indicated in the chart above.
If it is caused by man then there is the distinct possibility that it is too late to do anything about it and it will stop when the oil runs out.
This will be a sad day for humanity for we will be virtually be thrown back into the stone age without some alternative.
I am not a particularly fond of any of the alternatives but I think we need to work on them while we still have a chance.
Nuclear Can be dangerous especially in the hands of irresponsible people.
Coal is seen as dirty even with carbon sequestration and merury filters.
Wind and solar can help but cannot provide all that is needed.
Geo thermal is a decent alternative but there is not enough of it readily available.
Fusion, We are spending and have been spending a lot on Fusion If the moon could be mined for Helium 3 (eliminating the nasty neutron problem)this may be feasible if you use inertial confinement or exo-superconductive magnetic confinement. Good luck on the tokomak designs I don't think they will work.
Space Based Solar, a 1KM array Could
provide all of our energy needs however the initial investmet is extreme. I actually like this alternative the best.Bio Fuels If you believe in human caused global warming this is not the answer as most bio fuels are less efficent than fossil fuels and as such put out more Co2.
ZPE total pie in the sky alternative as I have said before if anyone has one of these that actually works I will be the first in line to buy it.
I fall on the natural cycle side of the debate as you can probably tell by my previous posts.
That does not mean I think we should not do anything to secure our energy future.
I just don't want some carbon cretit trading scheme whereby the US is goaded into meeting impossible goals while China and India (the largest polluters on the planet) get away with anything they want even if they are still the largest polluters albeit slightly less than before.
Right now the United States is one of the least polluting industrialized countries on the planet. In fact if it were not for the United States sending up all our satelites, paying for research into climate change, and inventing emissions standards the rest of the world would not have a concept of what climate change is. We need to keep up the good fight.
Please don't hand over our soveregnty to some world government based on carbon credits.
On a creepy paranoid note what element has 6 protons 6 neutrons and 6 electrons and is found in the form of a rock?
Have a nice day.
