Warming the Heresy

Mike J. gets a no-prize he'll be proud of whilst being burnt at the stake for bringing us yet another evidence-based look at global warming. I haven't had time to watch all four segments, but the conclusions of the first one are quite, well, interesting. But you better damned well watch and listen first, before coming back here and telling me my monster carbon footprint will be the ruin of us all.

One of the things that worries me quite deeply, especially considering the opposition's promises, is the positive steps we take to combat this "problem" will be what tips us over into something far, far worse. And in our lifetime, no less. Hint: it'll make the economic recession we'll put up with if they get their way look like a goddamned cakewalk.

I'm looking forward to watching this when I get some free time.

Which isn't going to be soon...

Like I keep saying, soon they'll be demanding we manufacture cars to Chinese greenhouse emissions standards... specifically, without catalytic converters. Reduces the CO2 output by 70%, and the N2O (seven times more potent a greenhouse gas than CO2) output by 90%. Carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides aren't greenhouse gases, and hydrocarbon emissions will help block out sunlight. Just ignore the coughing, and the fact that the grass all around your driveway is dying. You'll be perfectly carbon-neutral soon enough!
