maybe not.

Does it ever seem to you that the crowd that attributes
global warming to people are very much like the zombie
negotiator in the video clip you posted a while back?
All they want to do is rule over us (eat our brains),
and they'll mount endless arguments to that end.
In the meantime, real scientists have declared that the
single most important greenhouse gas -- by far -- is
water vapor, and it's presence has something to do
with that big shiny thing we see in the sky during the day.

p.s. i've heard the email address i've been using belongs
to a real person ... and he doesn't like all the mail he's been getting ... (no, not me).

Bob. Think the answer might lie in using your OWN, REAL email address? No, it's not YOU...How could it be?
Besides, that poor guy or girl is paying for anonymoose.com
Have some respect for Capitalism.

Water vapor is your home's central heating system. Carbon dioxide is the waste heat from your refrigerator. If both were running full bore on the hottest day of the year, which one would you attend to first? Hmm?
If we were really worried about dying from global warming, which would we be doing?
(1) Building super tall smokestacks to send carbon particles high into the atmosphere to immediately cool the ground temperature(a few smokestacks in coastal West Africa, at the same latitude of formation, would kill hurricanes before they began). The pure carbon would fall harmlessly into the Atlantic, joining quadrillions of tonnes of similar particles on the ocean floor.
(2) Paying carbon taxes to the Europeans via "carbon futures."
I would bet that the extra energy input in meat production comes from refrigeration. If I told vegans that irradiating food/aseptic packaging could end that requirement, would they listen? Or would they go into their "FrankenMeat" stichk?

Here's a new bumper sticker idea:
STOP GLOBAL WARMING: SHUT UP

O How I Hate It When the "Crunchy Cons" Have a Point.
But the right has got to forge its own brand of conservation that goes a bit beyond giving a few dollars to
Ducks Unlimited or the
National Wild Turkey Federation now and then.
Big discussion on the Crunchy Con website; I'd start with Goldberg's post here.

No one has ever liked my idea of selling Yellowstone to Disney. There is book called _Free Market Environmentalism_ by Terry Anderson and Donald Leal. Private property and proper incentives can do wonders.
