What do you know of “insolation”?  Hm?   Google away, “I am a clever because I can use Google.”   The trouble…[Read more]

So lets  see – with storm surges of 28ft or more, why does arguing about 10ins or 20 per century matter?   Are there more storms today?  No. Look it up. Temps declined 1940 to 1978…[Read more]

And, CO2 is logarithmic so even doubling its levels would do nothing.   Sorry if that is difficult to und…[Read more]

Check out the definition of pollution, OK?   pol·lu·tion
/pəˈlo͞oSH(ə)n/

noun
the presence in or introduction into the environment of a substance or thing that has harmful or poisonous effects.  Is CO2 poisonous?  NO!

And using LESS water.

(2005, August check it out!)   34,000 scientists signed the Oregon petition saying, “No crisis; no emergency from GW.”  Fact check that.  Denmark ordered by EU to compensate the poor for high power costs – their windmills backed up by COAL and expensive imports.  Well done, ind…[Read more]
