Al Gore's Private Jet
The planet earth will be here long after were gone. It will fix itself. I
think it would be better to put our efforts into helping homeless Americans, slow down the influx of illegal aliens and figure a way to get affordable health care for the middle class. If you get sick you and you're family loose everything. That would include your plane. These are things we can do something about. In all honesty Global warming is nothing but a fraud that many are making millions over. (imho) Enjoy life now and wish everyone happiness. Excuse me for my spelling and grammar I am sure there are plenty of mistakes. |

On Thu, 5 Apr 2007 18:05:24 -0700, "Aluckyguess" wrote in : The whole global warming thing in my opinion is a hoax. You need to inform yourself. Have you seen Gore's movie yet? Mr. Gore's presentation was shallow and misleading, unfortunately, presenting theories as fact and grossly understating the pain of fighting global warming. He could have done a much better job, I think. Okay, I am willing to forgive him trotting out the story about his son one more time, even if he contradicts it slightly later on in the movie. But I cannot swallow his little pile of gold vs. the earth skit. Come on. It is not a choice between a little pile of gold and the earth. It is a choice, if Gore is right about global warming, between jobs, medicine, housing, food, clothing, clean water, and everything else necessary for life, every luxury that makes life worth living -- it is a choice between all of that and the planet earth. Gore is not going to win many supporters as long as he presents the solution as a bunch of environmental aristocrats living in their manor houses supported by starving peons a la medieval England. Gore, if he really wants to galvanize the world into action, needs to tell the truth. Going back to the emissions of 1970 means going to back to a standard of living of 1970. Do you think Asia would stand for that? Does he not realize that trying to get the Chinese to go back to what they had in 1970 just might start a nuclear war? (But then, that might cure global warming.) And make no mistake, China is not the fine example of environmentalism that Gore claimed. Russia has borne the brunt of some serious Chinese pollution in recent years, and Chinese factories are among the most polluting on earth. But even then, global warming was increasing (by Gore's own admission in the movie) in 1970, so going back to 1970s emissions levels would do nothing to stop it. We would still have global warming. All the bad outcomes predicted by Gore in the movie would still come to pass, even if every measure he proposes was adopted right now. Personally, I think if global warming is really caused by human activity as Gore says, then you are looking at some serious consequences of reducing that activity. Everybody in Asia wants a car. They are going to be very upset if Al Gore tries to tell them that they can't have one. The Africans are going to be unhappy if someone tries to impose a hunter-gatherer lifestyle on them again. These people might be so unhappy as to do something about it, like cut off all our access to resources and, if that doesn't work, lob a few missiles our way. Or, desperate for resources, we might lob a few missiles in their direction. No matter, the outcome is the same -- everybody dies. And 100% of species go extinct. CO2 reduction has serious human costs. It means food, medicine, shelter, clothing, and everything else will be more expensive to produce and to transport, which means more people will starve to death, die in plagues, die of exposure, etc. Gore needs to come clean on how many people his policies, if implemented, will die. If you want to return CO2 emissions to the pre-20th century, then the population will have to return to those levels as well, which means half the people of the world will die for clean air. That is nearly 3 and a half billion people, putting Al Gore in a class of mass murderer that makes all the mass murderers of history appear as nothing. Maybe Gore believes that they will all die anyway if nothing is done, but he should have the courage to say so. Pardon me for saying so, but it seems to me that all those billions of people consigned by Mr. Gore to death, poverty and misery just might resent it. Maybe death, poverty and misery are inevitable, but I suspect that they might not see it that way. Gore promotes only CO2 reduction as a solution. Well, billions of deaths and a world in poverty is the cost of CO2 reduction. He should tell the inconvenient truth about that. It isn't just giving up SUVs, or changing to flourescents, or energy efficient windows, and he knows it. He dates global warming from long before the SUV became popular. He ignores other possible technologies, even mass planting of carbon-absorbing trees, air scrubbers, even satellite technology. Instead, he just wants to force everyone to live like little hobbits, even if it kills them. The last UN report on global warming indicated that although the scientists believe that global warming is human caused, they also believe that nothing can be done to stop it. It is too late. The ice caps are going to melt no matter what we do. That last part got left out of most news reports and was completely ignored by Gore and his tribe, yet it this report claims to be the consensus view of the world's scientists. Gore wants to kill 3.5 billion people and have the survivors living on vegetable gardens in their yards for what? Nothing. Nada. The ice caps will melt anyway. A third (perhaps more) of the world's species will still go extinct. Everyone still gets to live in Hell. It appears that the only thing that the politicians are doing about it is to see who gets to be the chief devil. And then again, 'global' warming might be a little misleading. There are obvious signs of warming all over the solar system. Melting polar caps on Mars. A second Great Spot on Jupiter. Comets losing mass. Is that caused by human activity as well? So, if Al Gore is right and gets his way, we are going to kill 3.5 billion people and reduce the rest to poverty in a futile effort to prevent global warming. If he is right and does not get his way, we will have the same outcome. If he is wrong, then we are simply dependent on the vagaries of the solar system, which will eventually drive us all to extinction anyway. And all three possibilities present a serious risk of apocalyptic war. Some choice, eh? There was a time, not so long ago, when no trees grew in Seattle. Or London, either. The air was too dirty to support them. We solved that problem with better technology, not by returning to a 17th century lifestyle. Modern cities are full of beautiful, flourishing trees. That is the model for solving global warming, too, if it can be solved. If it cannot, then I guess it doesn't much matter what we do. -- Waddling Eagle World Famous Flight Instructor |

On the other hand, if the goal is to get 10% of people to pay for the other 90%, then gov't is the only way to make that happen. I'd love to see someone actually try to bring the IRS up on charges of extortion. Stop paying your taxes and men with guns WILL show up in your house in the middle of the night!!! -Robert -Robert |

Perhaps the issue is more about mediating that change so that its destructive potential is mitigated. But to do so we are screwing which nature which the environmentalists have been saying is BAD for the last 50 years or so. Then there is the whole issue that the warming trend isn't even limited to Earth and that Mars is experiencing global warming as well. |

They would not have existed at all if not for government. Same for the rule of law, national defense, and many other services provided by governments. Some governments may do these things better than others, but all you have to do is look at countries that have gone through periods without functioning governments, such as Albania, Somalia, Afghanistan, etc. Without government and the rule of law, you have the Taliban. You have warlords. You have slavery and human misery. -- Waddling Eagle World Famous Flight Instructor |
