Kyoto Treaty is Dead

Supporters of the Kyoto treaty, give up. When NPR runs a segment that shows that Kyoto is as dumb as everyone else knows it is, it's time to give it up.

The Ugly American has a post with all the details. It seems that scientists just now discovered that plants produce methane. And one of the requirements of the Kyoto treaty is to reduce your country's methane levels.

So, loony environmentalists, in order to effectively comply with Kyoto, each country needs to raze their leafy plants and trees. Nice.

Can you say, "NATURAL PROCESSES?"

I didn't think so.

In the last chapter of "Slander", Ann Coulter said the left was clinging to charges that man causes "global warming" because it was the only issue in which it would take Republicans a thousand years to prove them wrong.

Well, it looks like the schedule's been moved up, LOL.

I guess now they'll have to find a way to blame greenhouse gas production by trees on Bush.

Ogre said (January 15, 2006 02:02 PM):

I remember just a few years ago, it was all blamed on cow farts -- so in order to stop global warming we had to stop eating beef. Yeah, that one got them real far, too.

William Teach said (January 15, 2006 02:17 PM):

There could be man made parts to global warming, however, from alot of reading I have been doing into this subject, they may be offsetting the potential for another mini ice age, such as the Earth had between the 1400's and 1800's. My opinion has changed from believing that it is happening to "I'm not sure." Too much conflicting evidence. The leftoids need to stop with the hyperinflated rhetoric and concentrate on true science.

Anyhow, cow farts. Didn't Pelosi author that study?

Ogre said (January 15, 2006 02:33 PM):

No, Pelosi's study was cow patties...

And yes, there's SO much conflicting evidence, I don't think we'll ever be able to determine the solution. For example, when clearcutting was going on at a huge rate in central and south America, the global amount of evil ozone was reduced -- so should we clear-cut all trees to save the ozone layer?

William Teach said (January 15, 2006 03:27 PM):

I read Michael Crichtons "State of Fear" over Christmas, and started doing more research. You remember that I used to believe that it was happening. Evidence changes that.

I think that one of the problems we see is that the global warming believers rely on computer models, rather then hard scientific research. They also miss the point that the Earth is always in flux. Plates move, volcano's go off, ice melts, etc. The Sun puts out more radiation or less. It could be a good year for plankton or a bad year, meaning more CO2 to O2 or less conversion.

The true believers do not want to hear anything to the opposite, or that even says "we do not really know." If man is creating issues, I would like to know. Flourocarbons were bad. That was proven. What is happening with CO2, methane, etc, is unknown. But it cannot be discussed with the True Believers, just like one cannot discuss politics with Surrender Monkeys rationally. Which is a shame.

Ogre said (January 15, 2006 05:29 PM):

Very true that evidence changes things. After reading that book, all I have to say is "Hockey Stick Graph."

roxy said (June 20, 2006 12:37 PM):

why dont you all stop talking about cow farts and who studied them or not - get off your computers and DO something about it? instead of talking?? When has simple discussing who is right or wrong ever done anything?
Hitler was wrong about what he did - but he didnt sit around and talk he did something!
need i go on?

mmMMmm...Chicken

bucket.jpgThis evening, I'm going to Kentucky Fried Chicken to buy a big bucket of chicken. I don't usually get chicken from KFC -- in the south, Bojangles usually does much better. But all the morons bringing KFC to my attention has just made me hungry. I suggest you help KFC and go buy a bucket today.

Maybe we should have a blogospheric-wide "Buy a KFC Bucket" day...

Oh yes... I think it is time I have some KFC. What bozos...

Ogre said (January 13, 2006 10:41 PM):

I LIKE Chicken.

Contagion said (January 14, 2006 12:37 AM):

Wow, on a fluke we wen tto KFC for lunch today. I love their honey BBQ wings. Now I'm really glad I did. I never thought Pam Anderson was attractive, now she just seems like an idiot on top of it. Hey, she is blonde!

Ogre said (January 14, 2006 02:30 AM):

I had a whole bucket of wings today.

Seth said (January 14, 2006 02:48 PM):

Wish they still served that Rotisserie Gold they had a few years back.

kender said (January 14, 2006 04:59 PM):

Pam Anderson should be sued for continued cruelty to her boobs. If chickens were subjected to all the constant medical attention her boobs get PETA would have a case for animal cruelty.

I think we should start a "Free Pam's Boobs" campaign.


Everybody chant with me: Free Pams Boobs Free Pams Boobs

Ogre said (January 14, 2006 10:39 PM):

Free Boobs! Free Boobs!

What?

Kevin said (January 15, 2006 04:20 AM):

I agree, KFC is a great American company with a delicious product. In addition, the endorsement from PETA of KFC already brings me by there about every couple of weeks or so.

Kevin said (January 15, 2006 04:20 AM):

Oh and I had a 2 piece original white meal today there.

Ogre said (January 15, 2006 02:02 PM):

I have absolutely GOT to plan a day and spread it throughout the blogosphere...

Factually Challenged Journalists

In case you're wondering what point of view is being taught in places of "higher learning," things like this pass as factual information:

There is no question that the world is warming at an unprecedented rate, due largely to the burning of fossil fuels.

Actually, Kim Curtis, that idea is quite in question. There is little data and a large number of scientists that do question the idea that fossil fuels are responsible for global warming, and a large number that question that global warming is even occurring.

But, Ms. Curtis teaches political science at Duke University. Keep that in mind next time you hear from a candidate who attended Duke with a poly sci major -- they're being taught that ideas are facts. Who knows what other agenda-driven political lies are being passed off as facts?

Ogre said (December 26, 2005 03:16 PM):

Thanks very much on both accounts, James!!!

joated said (December 26, 2005 03:29 PM):

It always amazes me (well, maybe not) that it is the PolySci folks who believe these kinds of things to be fact. (Heck, why is it even called "PolySci" it isn't science. Not by a long shot.)

Ogre said (December 26, 2005 03:35 PM):

Poly-loonies, if you ask me.

Mindflame said (December 26, 2005 03:42 PM):

I don't remember being told that was a fact when I was getting my polisci degree. Then again maybe I was too busy studying war theory to learn about global warming.

Ogre said (December 26, 2005 03:44 PM):

And maybe you didn't learn from this current crop of "professors."

David said (December 26, 2005 04:56 PM):

Unfortunately this is not just limited to PolySci. Journalists with similar ideas quote each other, politicians feel like if they say things enough people will believe them, marketing specialists think they can claim anything and it is true.

I have found profound truth in what one of my mentors said, "Perception is reality, the truth is only the truth."

Best wishes for a great New Year!

Smokey said (December 27, 2005 07:51 PM):

Here's one for you. According to a recent study, which I heard about on a local talk radio show here in N TX, pollution is actually COOLING the planet. Basically, all the little particles in the air absorb and/or reflect sunlight away from us, therefore COOLING the planet. Were there NO pollution, the earth would be about 6 to 10 degrees CENTIGRADE (don't know what that is farenheight). Also, according to this group of enviromental scientists, even if EVERY COUNTRY put into place EVERY PART of the Kyoto treaty, the result would be a cooling of .2 degrees centigrade over the NEXT HUNDRED YEARS (which, for those who don't know, would be COMPLETELY UNMEASUREABLE)

Ogre said (December 30, 2005 09:13 PM):

Smokey, Smokey...stop trying to ruin their agenda with facts. When facts don't fit, they are simply ignored in favor of the agenda. It's for the children, you know.

And good point, David -- the truth IS the truth, but SO many people are completely willing to ignore it.
