As for your question about what i am doing personally
#1 I try to live simply, and do the more common energy saving practices.
#2 My one and only personal investment is in a woodlot in Maine. I do not expect to personally measure any carbon offsets from the ownership.

Please answer my question. What scientific study supports your argument?

What the hell are you talking about, Clancy? What does all that stuff you mentioned have to do with global warming? They are environmental issues, not global warming issues, and, I never said I liked them. Matter of fact, I was very much against Reagans environmental policies.

Why would I want money? For what? If you want to talk about wanting money, look towards the leaders of the anthropogenic climate change movement, who are raking it in.

We can see you don’t really care about ‘optimum’ temps, etc., and you really don’t want an answer. You want money, that’s all. So how much money would it take to turn you into my whining global-warming-is-here-to-stay-folks bitch? Or is that to many questions for you?

I’ll answer both questions – it’s only fair.

1. Not enough and I do think it’s a valid point.
2. I’m not sure what you consider a “climate change offset program” but if you mean a cap-and-trade system then I think it will promote new technology and encourage innovative ideas to reduce carbon emissions.

Meanwhile, the hard science shows that there really hasn’t been an uptick in global temps since 1999.

It is a mistake to comparing long term climate change to short term weather variability. If you’re interested there’s an excellent discussion about it here:

The UN IPCC reports do not specifically state that Man is the primary or sole cause of global warming, it just outlines what effect man is having.

This is what the IPCC’s Fourth Assessment Report states:

Since the start of the industrial era (about 1750), the overall effect of human activities on climate has been a warming influence. The human impact on climate during this era greatly exceeds that due to known changes in natural processes, such as solar changes and volcanic eruptions.

And, what other evidence? Let’s see: we had some good warming in the 1930’s.

Warming in the 1930’s is somehow evidence against anthropogenic warming?

We were all worried about a coming ice age in the 70’s.

Maybe you were but no major scientific organization was saying this – and that’s the key.

Teach, could you please answer the question I asked. Where is your scientific study? Or if you cannot provide one would you at least have the honesty to admit it?

Exactly what is the optimum temperature, and how are you going to get there? What will all these crazy schemes accomplish? How will you measure it?

Please don’t ignore this question. If you can’t provide one at least be honest about it.

Heh heh heh Energy Saving Day was a flop, its organiser admitted last night after the National Grid confirmed that across Britain energy use went up by just over one per cent. The day, which began at dusk on Wednesday……
