I know we've been debating a lot about Global Warming. Not sure if anyone listened to the Gingrich/Kerry Debate this week. It was Very good and professional. Gingrich did get asked some point blank questions though:


Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-GA) engaged in head-to-head debate this morning on global warming. During the event, Kerry challenged Gingrich on his commitment to global warming science, asking him what his message would be to conservatives like Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) who are “resisting the science.”

Gingrich distanced himself from Inhofe, saying:

My message I think is that the evidence is sufficient that we should move towards the most effective possible steps to reduce carbon-loading of the atmosphere.

Gingrich went on to say that acknowledging the scientific consensus around climate change “is a very challenging thing to do if you’re a conservative” because they associate environmentalism with “bigger government and higher taxes.”




Transcript:

KERRY: I’m excited to hear you talk about the urgency — I really am. And given that — albeit you still sort of have a different approach — what would you say to Sen. Inhofe and to others in the Senate who are resisting even the science? What’s your message to them here today?

GINGRICH: My message I think is that the evidence is sufficient that we should move towards the most effective possible steps to reduce carbon-loading of the atmosphere.

KERRY: And to it urgently — and now…

GINGRICH: And do it urgently. Yes.

 

If kerry and gore get their way the North American economy is gonna be crippled.

 

I feel as if this GW stuff is getting out of control. We need to take a stand on these clowns.

 

I love how its looking here, there are now three lefty parties fight eachother for the GW nutjob vote. Let them preach all they want and we'll have a conservative majority government then the tree huggers can be pushed aside for a few years

 

what's ridiculous is that it takes the threat of global disaster (from a movie by al gore nonetheless) to get anyone to pay attention and ponder the effect of his/her lifestyle on the environment..."no more starbucks triple lattes when the world stops spinning? i'll go buy a prius--save the gasoline, save the world right?"

regardless of the accuracy of the un global warming report or any of the myriad of scientific papers published on the topic over the last decade, waste is never good for anyone in the long term...but people in general lack the attention span and the thought process to understand this

i suppose i'm a tree hugger--a rational one--the difference is knowing when to stop squeezing

 

I used to like Gingrich, but now he is a phsyco nut case like the rest with this stupidity. How can .54% of the atmospheric gas content of CO be causing this rise in temp? Answer: IT CAN'T!! If there was no green house effect, the night time temp. would plumit every clear night to unbearable temps. We need the green house effect to survive. Socialism will march on if we don't get ahold of the stupidity and slap it around some

 

Global warming is a HUGE joke that stupid people like Algore believe in. Yep, temperatures dropping, more snow, etc and we have global warming. It's kind of like everything is the fault of global warming.

Fact is NOBODY knows a damn thing to say one way or the other what causes global warming. YES there is global warming and has been since the Ice Age, which is why we are no longer in the Ice Age, freaking Algore and his stupid movie of BS, not facts, just things people make up with about .005% of actual data.

Earth has been around for millions of years and we have a few hundred years of data that some morons take as fact when such little data is nothing more then a waste of trees, where are all the tree huggers to complain about all the dead trees used to talk about data that don't mean a damn thing since there is NO real facts to back it up with...

Global warming is real but it is NOT man that made it happen but rather Mother Nature millions of years ago...

 

In hindsight GW killed the dinosaurs. Oil comes from decomposed dinosaurs and the like. That means pollution caused by the burning fossil fuels is directly caused by GW. Food for thought.

 

Orrrr Maybe all the Scientiststs Aren't Lieing, and twisting the extensive scientific reports backed and agreed upon by Thousands of Well known established scientists from All Over the world, based on Thousands of years of environmental data gathered from Ice Core samples, and MAN Really IS contributing to Global Warming...

 

Contributing is one thing, entirely causing it is something completely different. These ignorant liberals need to get a clue, and I mean that. Now I realize that these liberals aren't exactly the sharpest tool in the shed, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that global weather trends have occured long before humans lived on the earth. Did cave men burning fire wood cause the ice age? Emmisions from volcano's both under the ocean on on land cause a great deal of pollution. Im not saying that GW is or is not occuring(hell weather forecasters cannot tell you whats happening tomorrow), but whatever happens is due to trends that humans have no control over. Im not so arrogant to believe that I cause the weather.
If liberals would get their head out of their **** and thing with common sense and logic, this would all become clear. Instead, they have an agenda, and anything they can twist and exagerate to complete that agenda, is what they will do. Like global warming, they attempt to blame everything on global warming, and whos fault is GW, humans. SO in turn its Humans fault for all of this. Its a typical liberals mentality, instead of common sense and logic. Meanwhile we are in the middle of a mid April snow storm, its global warming. I used to find it humorous, but if these retards start trying to get into my pockets(which will happen) then I become pissed.

Its all a political movement to cripple capitalist America and hard working Americans, because the middle class will feel this moneywise.

Meanwhile, Gore lives in his mansion flying around his jet, while the rest of us driving our vehicles "cause GW". Eff Gore.

 

Gingrich is a Liberal??

I give American's a little more credit. You don't think there's a way to Make Money off of Environmentalism???

Again, it's "cheaper" for factories to just dump raw sewage into rivers. Maybe we should just let them again so they can improve their bottom line.

 

Thats the point, someone will be making money, just not the backbone of America, the working middle class. We will get hit with higher fuel costs, expensive taxes, being forced to purchase more expensive hybrids and energy components for home use. Do you really think that big businesses will take the hit? Hell no, they will pass it on to the consumers, us. In addition the losses businesses will take will also be evident in the work force, with the possibility of job cuts etc. Either way, middle class will lose.


Again, we are specifically talking about air pollution. I know our factory has opacity monitors and multi million dollar equipment to filter exhaust gases. THis is already being done. Seeking to eliminate all forms of gas released into the air is impossible. Its simple thermodynamics, energy is never created or destroyed, it simply changes states or forms. Its hilarious to see non-technically minded people take for granted the common items they use everyday and really have no clue how they are created. The process to create materials many times involves a combustion step to the process. I mean Im not going to list all of the vital materials that require the release of spend gases, but I can assure you, it will be impossible.

And dumping raw sewage into the rivers does not cause GW, but nice try.

 

Did you fart today, guess what a fart is? It contains methane gas, which can be pollute the environment and cause GW. How many humans are on the earth? How many animals are on the earth? Imagine how much methane gas is emmited into the atmosphere by human and animal arseholes. We should all plug our *****.

Matter of fact, do any of you have septic tanks at your house? Need I go on for you to get it? I dont agree that businesses should dump raw sewage into streams but thats NOT what we are talking about here. Dumping spent liquids is illegal! We are clearly talking about combustion spent gasses, there is a clear difference between gas and liquid states, if you dont know that then go back to school.

 

Oh. Gingrich says that we've caused Earths fever? It must be true. I can't believe I've been questioning the validity of the claims. I've seen the light, now that Gingrich in on board.

The liberals, and democrats to some extent, never cease to amaze me. The arrogence is something else. They are right about Iraq and right about global warming. There is no way that anyone that disagrees with their positions could be even remotely close to being right.

The liberals complain that the Bush administration "cherry picked" information. I guess it's ok for liberals to cherry pick information to support their claims. It's not a double standard. Liberals are just always right.

 

That is the point. Algore is selling people carbon credits (he owns a company that sells them). He is taking the money and not doing a damn thing about emisions but creating more of his own.
The next stage is to put a carbon filter on our mouths and a catalitic converter on our ****. Give me a friggen break. Use some common sense Hibbs.
