Earth Day is sunday. Earth Day was started by Ira Einhorn. Ira Einhorn killed Holly Maddux and dismembered her body, stuffing the pieces into t foot locker. He fled the country before conviction and remained loose in France for some 15 years before extradition. Earth Day freaks will tell you he had nothing to do with it. This is a lie. Earth day freaks are using clergy to spread the message. This is IDOLATRY. Simple enough. Rabbit is good fried. |

Hmmm... Don't care. I do care about clean air and clean water though... |

I hate all this Earth Day crap and "Mother Earth" bullshit.
Should we respect the environment? Yes, but I'm tired of the tree hugger environmentalist and PETA freaks who act like animal rights and climate concerns eclipse the rights of man himself. |

No shit! its important because of who said it, not what actually going on? Its kinda funny how a great idea gets bad publicity because of certain individuals. Like global warming: sure, as postulated here its Gore's idea, his political agenda, even though there are other avenues of evidence, i.e., several of governments have expressed concerns on it. Some of you can flame all you want. I'll err on the side of caution where practical. |

First of all, it isn't science. Not a single proof can be made to say the Earth is warming due to the TRIVIAL increase in CO2. Why? It is less than 5% of the "greenhouse" effect. Water vapor is the majority of the greenhouse gas that keeps our planet suitably warm.
To seel bad science as a matter of concern is QUACKERY. Like burning witches quackery. And WHERE are they peddling the tripe? I value clean air. And the air IS getting cleaner. I value clean water. And that too has been improving. But to say the seas are rising (they have done so long before the Industrial Revolution) SOLELY due to Man's combustion of fossil fuels is not provable under ANY scientific measure. And to WORSHIP a pseudo-deity based on the rantings of a confirmed psychotic killer is clearly insane. |
|
I get to do my yearly Earth day ritual.
Release a can of R-12 and burn some sytrofoam. I bought a couple of cases of freon in the early 90's for just this occasion. I have many years left. |
|
Water vapor is not a gas. I read that here, so it must be true. |
|

Equally absurd is believing that humans have not had an effect on our planet. Nothing is fully understood. Time and again, scientists will put forth that condition after their theories. But, like a lot of things, the importance seems to lie not in believing, but disputing it. Understandably, human CO2 isn't the whole cause of GW, but only a contributing factor; one we can control. |

30 years ago, there were scientists that were SURE we were in danger of entering into a new ice age.(Global Cooling).
What will they be screaming from the rooftops 30 years from now? |

Will celebrate by firing up the LS2 that day and burning up as much fossile fuel as possible.

Im going to chop up an AC or Fridge/freezer without getting the Freon out 1st.

I had no idea that nut was responsible for Earth Day.
I knew one of the nuts came up with the idea, had no idea it was THAT nut. |

Fuck that, draw down and shoot!! |
|

I got a cousin (in-law) who is one of those fucking enviro-nazis, spent 4 years in OSU in enviro-nazi training camps. To go tie herself to a tree thinking she is going to save the rain forests. All she talks about is how Ira showed the world that we are killing it and need to spread the word blah blah blah. I'd love to see her face if I bumped a beta mag or seven into a tree, then finished it off with a few bottles of tannerite. (Obviously it wouldn't be legal here since we go into the national forest to plink in gravel pits) (I'm tired and blabbing) |

I think my friend has a cylinder of "uncle Toms' freon mix" where the last guy has sucked out old R12, R134a. R22 and no telling what else into the same recovery cylinder, should shoot that. |
||
|
I think I'm going to burn some old tires, lot's of tires. You know they make the environment look dirty, burn em up into the atmosphere I say. Do some shooting to, old car batteries make great targets.
|
|
Make sure to recycle the lead plates so we can make more bullets |
|
|
I'm not messing with that dirty old acid laced lead in my melting pot. Just throw it in a ditch. Use fresh lead only. There's lots more where that came from. |
||
|
That and I'm still waiting for the hippies to actually BUILD a ecoweeniemobile instead of telling others to do it for them. According to them it would be a piece of cake and easily done. So........why haven't they? Could it be they are stupid little lemmings who are led about by the nose by people with a political agenda and unable to think for themselves? Excuse me, time to club a few seals. |
|||
|
I just take it to the scrap for ammo money. |
|||
|
When batteries were made of lead only, it wasn't a problem. Just wash the acid out. But now? Forget it. Calcium metal is added to recombine the evolved hydrogen into water. That calcium and the arsenic added to harden the alloy will form bad stuff when melted. Get that dross wet and it makes a deadly gas, fortunately the gas smells like garlic. Unfortunately, when you can smell it, you have already received a harmful dose, if not lethal. I have melted such batteries down. You get about 10 pounds of dross for every pound of lead. Did it outside in a propane fired pot...not my dedicated casting pot! |

October 17, 2006 Washington DC - One of the most decorated French geophysicists has converted from a believer in manmade catastrophic global warming to a climate skeptic. This latest defector from the global warming camp caps a year in which numerous scientific studies have bolstered the claims of climate skeptics. Scientific studies that debunk the dire predictions of human-caused global warming have continued to accumulate and many believe the new science is shattering the media-promoted scientific “consensus” on climate alarmism. Claude Allegre, a former government official and an active member of France’s Socialist Party, wrote an editorial on September 21, 2006 in the French newspaper L'Express titled “The Snows of Kilimanjaro” (For English Translation, click here: http://epw.senate.gov/fact.cfm?party=rep&id=264835 ) detailing his newfound skepticism about manmade global warming. See: http://www.lexpress.fr/idees/tribunes/dossier/allegre/dossier.asp?ida=451670 Allegre wrote that the “cause of climate change remains unknown” and pointed out that Kilimanjaro is not losing snow due to global warming, but to local land use and precipitation changes. Allegre also pointed out that studies show that Antarctic snowfall rate has been stable over the past 30 years and the continent is actually gaining ice. “Following the month of August experienced by the northern half of France, the prophets of doom of global warming will have a lot on their plate in order to make our fellow countrymen swallow their certitudes,” Allegre wrote. He also accused proponents of manmade catastrophic global warming of being motivated by money, noting that “the ecology of helpless protesting has become a very lucrative business for some people!” Allegre, a member of both the French and U.S. Academy of Sciences, had previously expressed concern about manmade global warming. "By burning fossil fuels, man enhanced the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which has raised the global mean temperature by half a degree in the last century," Allegre wrote 20 years ago. In addition, Allegre was one of 1500 scientists who signed a November 18, 1992 letter titled “World Scientists' Warning to Humanity” in which the scientists warned that global warming’s “potential risks are very great.” See: http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~sai/sciwarn.html Allegre has authored more than 100 scientific articles, written 11 books and received numerous scientific awards including the Goldschmidt Medal from the Geochemical Society of the United States. Allegre's conversion to a climate skeptic comes at a time when global warming alarmists have insisted that there is a “consensus” about manmade global warming. Proponents of global warming have ratcheted up the level of rhetoric on climate skeptics recently. An environmental magazine in September called for Nuremberg-style trials for global warming skeptics and CBS News “60 Minutes” correspondent Scott Pelley compared skeptics to “Holocaust deniers.” See: http://www.epw.senate.gov/fact.cfm?party=rep&id=264568 & http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2006/03/22/publiceye/entry1431768.shtml In addition, former Vice President Al Gore has repeatedly referred to skeptics as "global warming deniers." This increase in rhetorical flourish comes at a time when new climate science research continues to unravel the global warming alarmists’ computer model predictions of future climatic doom and vindicate skeptics. 60 Scientists Debunk Global Warming Fears Earlier this year, a group of prominent scientists came forward to question the so-called “consensus” that the Earth faces a “climate emergency.” On April 6, 2006, 60 scientists wrote a letter to the Canadian Prime Minister asserting that the science is deteriorating from underneath global warming alarmists. “Observational evidence does not support today's computer climate models, so there is little reason to trust model predictions of the future…Significant [scientific] advances have been made since the [Kyoto] protocol was created, many of which are taking us away from a concern about increasing greenhouse gases. If, back in the mid-1990s, we knew what we know today about climate, Kyoto would almost certainly not exist, because we would have concluded it was not necessary,” the 60 scientists wrote. See: http://www.canada.com/nationalpost/financialpost/story.html?id=3711460e-bd5a-475d-a6be-4db87559d605 “It was only 30 years ago that many of today's global-warming alarmists were telling us that the world was in the midst of a global-cooling catastrophe. But the science continued to evolve, and still does, even though so many choose to ignore it when it does not fit with predetermined political agendas,” the 60 scientists concluded. 'Climate Change is Nothing New' In addition, an October 16, 2006 Washington Post article titled “Climate Change is Nothing New” echoed the sentiments of the 60 scientists as it detailed a new study of the earth’s climate history. The Washington Post article by reporter Christopher Lee noted that Indiana University geologist Simon Brassell found climate change occurred during the age of dinosaurs and quoted Brassell questioning the accuracy of computer climate model predictions. “If there are big, inherent fluctuations in the system, as paleoclimate studies are showing, it could make determining the Earth’s climatic future even harder than it is,” Brassell said. See: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/10/15/AR2006101500672.html Global Cooling on the Horizon? In August, Khabibullo Abdusamatov, a scientist who heads the space research sector for the Russian Academy of Sciences, predicted long-term global cooling may be on the horizon due to a projected decrease in the sun’s output. See: http://en.rian.ru/russia/20060825/53143686.html Sun’s Contribution to Warming There have also been recent findings in peer-reviewed literature over the last few years showing that the Antarctic is getting colder and the ice is growing and a new 2006 study in Geophysical Research Letters found that the sun was responsible for up to 50% of 20th-century warming. See: http://www.agu.org/pubs/crossref/2006/2006GL027142.shtml “Global Warming” Stopped in 1998 Paleoclimate scientist Bob Carter has noted that there is indeed a problem with global warming – it stopped in 1998. “According to official temperature records of the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia in the UK, the global average temperature did not increase between 1998-2005. “…this eight-year period of temperature stasis did coincide with society's continued power station and SUV-inspired pumping of yet more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere,” noted paleoclimate researcher and geologist Bob Carter of James Cook University in Australia in an April 2006 article titled “There is a problem with global warming... it stopped in 1998.” See: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/main.jhtml?xml=/opinion/2006/04/09/do0907.xml&sSheet=/news/2006/04/09/ixworld.html “Global?" Warming Misnamed - Southern Hemisphere Not Warming In addition, new NASA satellite tropospheric temperature data reveals that the Southern Hemisphere has not warmed in the past 25 years contrary to “global warming theory” and modeling. This new Southern Hemisphere data raises the specter that the use of the word “global” in “global warming” may not be accurate. A more apt moniker for the past 25 years may be “Northern Hemisphere” warming. See: http://motls.blogspot.com/2006/09/southern-hemisphere-ignores-global.html Alaska Cooling According to data released on July 14, 2006 from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the January through June Alaska statewide average temperature was “0.55F (0.30C) cooler than the 1971-2000 average.” See: http://www.publicaffairs.noaa.gov/releases2006/jul06/noaa06-065.html Oceans Cooling Another bombshell to hit the global warming alarmists and their speculative climate modeling came in a September article in the Geophysical Research Letters which found that over 20% of the heat gained in the oceans since the mid-1950s was lost in just two years. The former climatologist for the state of Colorado, Roger Pielke, Sr., noted that the sudden cooling of the oceans “certainly indicates that the multi-decadal global climate models have serious issues with their ability to accurately simulate the response of the climate system to human- and natural-climate forcings.“ See: http://climatesci.atmos.colostate.edu/2006/09/ Light Hurricane Season & Early Winter Despite predictions that 2006 would bring numerous tropical storms, 2006’s surprisingly light hurricane season and the record early start of this year’s winter in many parts of the U.S. have further put a damper on the constant doomsaying of the global warming alarmists and their media allies. Droughts Less Frequent Other new studies have debunked many of the dubious claims made by the global warming alarmists. For example, the claim that droughts would be more frequent, severe and wide ranging during global warming, has now being exposed as fallacious. A new paper in Geophysical Research Letters authored by Konstantinos Andreadis and Dennis Lettenmaier finds droughts in the U.S. becoming “shorter, less frequent and cover a small portion of the country over the last century.” http://www.worldclimatereport.com/index.php/2006/10/13/where-are-the-droughts Global Warming Will Not Lead to Next Ice Age Furthermore, recent research has shown that fears that global warming could lead to the next ice age, as promoted in the 2004 Hollywood movie “The Day After Tomorrow” are also unsupportable. A 2005 media hyped study “claimed to have found a 30 percent slowdown in the thermohaline circulation, the results are published in the very prestigious Nature magazine, and the story was carried breathlessly by the media in outlets around the world…Less than a year later, two different research teams present convincing evidence [ in Geophysical Research Letters ] that no slowdown is occurring whatsoever,” according to Virginia State Climatologist Patrick Michaels, editor of the website World Climate Report. See: http://www.worldclimatereport.com/index.php/2006/10/13/overturning-ocean-hype ‘Hockey Stick’ Broken in 2006 The “Hockey Stick” temperature graph’s claim that the 1990’s was the hottest decade of the last 1000 years was found to be unsupportable by the National Academy of Sciences and many independent experts in 2006. See: http://www.epw.senate.gov/pressitem.cfm?party=rep&id=257697 Study Shows Greenland’s Ice Growing A 2005 study by a scientist named Ola Johannessen and his colleagues showed that the interior of Greenland is gaining ice mass. See: http://www.co2science.org/scripts/CO2ScienceB2C/articles/V8/N44/C1.jsp Also, according to the International Arctic Research Institute, despite all of the media hype, the Arctic was warmer in the 1930’s than today. Polar Bears Not Going Extinct Despite Time Magazine and the rest of the media’s unfounded hype, polar bears are not facing a crisis, according to biologist Dr. Mitchell Taylor from the Arctic government of Nunavut. “Of the 13 populations of polar bears in Canada, 11 are stable or increasing in number. They are not going extinct, or even appear to be affected at present,” Taylor wrote on May 1, 2006.

The increasingly alarmist Hansen is featured frequently in the media to bolster sky-is-falling climate scare reports. His recent claim that the Earth is nearing its hottest point in one million years has been challenged by many scientists. See: http://www.co2science.org/scripts/CO2ScienceB2C/articles/V9/N39/EDITB.jsp Hansen’s increasingly frightening climate predictions follow his 2003 concession that the use of “extreme scenarios” was an appropriate tactic to drive the public’s attention to the urgency of global warming. See: http://naturalscience.com/ns/articles/01-16/ns_jeh6.html Hansen also received a $250,000 grant form Teresa Heinz’s Foundation and then subsequently endorsed her husband John Kerry for President and worked closely with Al Gore to promote his movie, “An Inconvenient Truth.” See: http://www.heinzawards.net/speechDetail.asp?speechID=6 & http://www.columbia.edu/~jeh1/dai_complete.pdf American People Rejecting Global Warming Alarmism The global warming alarmists may have significantly overplayed their hand in the climate debate. A Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg poll this August found that most Americans do not attribute the cause of any recent severe weather events to global warming, and the portion of Americans who believe that climate change is due to natural variability has increased over 50% in the last five years. Senator Inhofe Chastises Media For Unscientific & Unprincipled Climate Reporting Senator James Inhofe (R-Okla.) Chairman of the Environment and Public Works Committee, commented last week on the media’s unfounded global warming hype and some of the recent scientific research that is shattering the so-called “consensus” that human greenhouse gas emissions have doomed the planet. “The American people are fed up with media for promoting the idea that former Vice President Al Gore represents the scientific ‘consensus’ that SUV’s and the modern American way of life have somehow created a ‘climate emergency’ that only United Nations bureaucrats and wealthy Hollywood liberals can solve. It is the publicity and grant seeking global warming alarmists and their advocates in the media who have finally realized that the only “emergency” confronting them is their rapidly crumbling credibility, audience and bottom line. The global warming alarmists know their science is speculative at best and their desperation grows each day as it becomes more and more obvious that many of the nations that ratified the woeful Kyoto Protocol are failing to comply,” Senator Inhofe said last week. See: http://www.epw.senate.gov/pressitem.cfm?party=rep&id=264616 “The mainstream media needs to follow the money: The further you get from scientists who conduct these alarmist global warming studies, and the further you get from the financial grants and the institutions that they serve the more the climate alarmism fades and the skepticism grows,” Senator Inhofe explained. Eco-Doomsayers’ Failed Predictions In a speech on the Senate floor on September 25, 2006, Senator Inhofe pointed out the abject failure of past predictions of ecological disaster made by environmental alarmists. “The history of the modern environmental movement is chock-full of predictions of doom that never came true. We have all heard the dire predictions about the threat of overpopulation, resource scarcity, mass starvation, and the projected death of our oceans. None of these predictions came true, yet it never stopped the doomsayers from continuing to predict a dire environmental future. The more the eco-doomsayers’ predictions fail, the more the eco-doomsayers predict,” Senator Inhofe said on September 25th.

GLOBAL MODERATION!!!!!!!! |
|
|
No, can you? Or any others of the AR15com scientific community? |
|
|
Ah… the absurd, irrational, and unsupportable I feel like it does so that is the way it is argument. Emotion and opinion as science. |
|
|
Ah… evasion instead of even entertaining the obvious possibility that the SUN causes warming. Naw it must be the little green men and their SUV's. |
||
|
My plan for Earth Day.......I'm gonna go take a crap in the woods and mark some territory. Natural!
|
|
Where's the great idea?
How is "several of governments have expressed concerns on it evidence??? Is there such a thing as global warming? I'm sure there is. What's the cause? The debate is still out on that and it's not pointing to human involvement. |
||
|
Woot! Thank you very much! I can't tell you how many times I've laughed when I've hgeard these so called "environmentalist say we need a clean burning fuel like the fuel cell which only produces water vapor. |
|
|
I'm burning tires tomorrow from sunup to sundown. The black smoke will help cool the planet. |
