The Bottom Line

The earth’s climate (in contrast to the climate in current climate GCMs) is dominated by a strong net negative feedback. Climate sensitivity is on the order of 0.3°C, and such warming as may arise from increasing greenhouse gases will be indistinguishable from the fluctuations in climate that occur naturally from processes internal to the climate system itself.

On 11-19-2008 BHO said: Few challenges facing America and the world are more urgent than combating climate change.The science is beyond dispute and the facts are clear.

A hundred mostly Ph.D scientists said: With all due respect Mr. President, that is not true.

(And, to the chagrin of econazis everywhere, they won’t find Fred Singer’s name among them.)

I turned on every light in my house. Powered up all the PCs, washer, dryer, PLASMA tv, home theater.

We turned on every light, fan, and electronic component in our house, plus turned on the self cleaning oven. Then we left and went shopping. based on the amount consumed ( 3 1/3 kwh) and our electricity rate, we used about 40 cents of electricity. If we had turned off what we usually have on during that time. we would have saved between 1-2 cents. What a bunch of hippie baloney.

You showed them! Even better, how about keeping it up everyday and really show them? Double–triple–quadruple your electricity bill and REALLY show them.

BTW, my Wal Mart now has 52W instead of 60W, and 32W instead of 40W in the standard bulbs. (Specialty [read: expensive] bulbs still have the normal wattage.)

So they’re trying to save me energy, but giving me less light. I had been using 40W, but now I would have to use the 52W.
(I did find normal wattage bulbs at Home Depot. I bought a bunch.)

I NEED light.

The funny thing is, I am normally very conservative with utilities, for frugality and wanting my children to have resources left in their lifetime, not for global warming.

That there were stories about the dangers of fluorescent light, the flickering of the bulbs in office buildings where people work under them 10-14 hours a day was causing headaches.

Late to the game here, but I know at least two people who had to work with sunglasses on because the fluourescent light caused severe headaches and other medical problems.

But what is human suffering when global warming – sorry, global climate change – is “settled science”?

I guess the lights out didn’t take.

They give me migraines. I have to take incandescents on trips to screw into the hotel sockets so I don’t spend most of my time in the dark with a wet washrag over my face.

I spent yesterday trapped in a school building basking in the big Fluos only to turn around and enjoy the same thing this morning in church. I finally had to come home and cozy up to an incandescent, but it’s too late. I’m going to have to take a painkiller and look for the sunglasses and the cold rag soon.

I buy extra incandescents every month. My husband thinks I’m crazy, but the fluorescents don’t bother him (except the part where he gets to listen to me gripe endlessly about yet another government intrusion into our lives.)

I just want to know where Al’s hiding my special dispensation to keep on using what doesn’t take a HazMat crew to dispose of . . . or did he save it for his power-sucking mansion?

I totally forgot earth hour was last night. … eh… I wonder if anyone I know participated? I am ok with pr awareness things to help us be mindful of our energy usage but don’t quite buy into “giving the……

Screw earth . According to libtard “scientists” there are billions of planets in the universe.

Exactly. If mankind can extinct the planet, more power to us. It’s natural selection, baby! Besides, if we can kill all plant life, then we’ll be able to return the earth’s atmosphere to its pristine condition before all of those trees polluted it with all of that oxygen.

Even during Earth Hour. President of the Tennessee Center For Policy Research Drew Johnson takes a Saturday drive by Al Gore’s during the time most environmentalists went dark:

I pulled up to Al’s house, located in the posh Belle Meade section of Nashville, at 8:48pm – right in the middle of Earth Hour. I found that the main spotlights that usually illuminate his 9,000 square foot mansion were dark, but several of the lights inside the house were on.

In fact, most of the windows were lit by the familiar blue-ish hue indicating that floor lamps and ceiling fixtures were off, but TV screens and computer monitors were hard at work. (In other words, his house looked the way most houses look about 1:45am when their inhabitants are distractedly watching “Cheaters” or “Chelsea Lately” reruns.)

The kicker, though, were the dozen or so floodlights grandly highlighting several trees and illuminating the driveway entrance of Gore’s mansion.

I [kid] you not, my friends, the savior of the environment couldn’t be bothered to turn off the gaudy lights that show off his goofy trees.
