EPA Announces new pollution controls. GOP says just what you expect.

i am suggesting his being against US Fracking Policies is a vote against Canadian fracking policies.

you can either infiltrate our government, or you can have us not care about your politics

you can't have both.

I was watching the History Channel last night.

It was a documentary on one of the earliest great civilizations...The Egyptians.

They showed excavations of small "towns" back in 9000 B.C.
But these places are in the middle of The Sahara Desert. How could that be?

Then they showed bones from elephants, giraffes, antelopes, bison, etc.
How could that be?

Here's how and WHY:
9000 B.C. The Sahara Desert was a savannah. Full of green vegetation, fields of green for animals to graze on. And early humans were there as hunters and gatherers.

Somewhere around 5000 B.C. the rains stopped, the area dried up...and became a harsh desert that we know today.

Guess what? The Earth CHANGES. With or without human actions.

Unless Mark Prince would like to suggest that perhaps primitive people were racing around in their evil cars and burning coal to stay warm etc., etc.

That's the one thing I never see "climate change" nutcases ever explain...the world's climate CHANGES over time no matter what.

But that's always left out of the equation. It's always mankind driving everything.

I say...that's just plain egotistical nonsense.

How do you figure that Richard?

Companies are international. If they can't frack for new sources of energy here...they are going to go elsewhere...like Canada.

Quite frankly, I want them to do it HERE.

We've spent the last 50 years making a bunch of goat-herding crazy ass Muslims rich beyond their dreams by drilling oil in their countries instead of our own.

I have no desire to repeat that stupidity with Canada.

We need to keep it at home.

I've heard reports that we are sitting on reserves of oil here in the United States the dwarf the Middle Eastern oil countries.

I think it's stupid NOT to get it. And make the economy roar back to life.

id have to dig it up, but there is a lot of evidence that a large portion of the nile delta was under water..

it's also said it will be underwater again:

no one disputes that the earth changes. what is in contention, is how does human activity impact natural earth cycles? Cycles that are in, if you will forgive the poetic turn of phrase, 'a fine balance'

you have no desire repeating the stupidity of making a bunch of goat-herding crazy ass muslims rich in canada?

CO2 is not a pollutant. Infact, there's evidence that ALL plant life grows better at higher CO2 levels.

not sure how some parts of society allowed themselves to be convinced that that is a bad thing.

we have been through this before

and you won't accept the truth. thats why you continue to post in these threads.

a refresher.

that's funny, what we have been through is a definition:

"the presence in or introduction into the environment of a substance or thing that has harmful or poisonous effects."

so while CO2 might be present in nature, human industries that adds more CO2 to the environment would be considered 'pollution', as the additional CO2 would be considered 'harmful'

now that we have recapped our previous conversations..

oh great. you're saying a time with giant fucking lizards is 'normal'

real sharp

and.. a theoretical massive fucking asteroid impact.

Problem is that if you are clearing out the plant life (Amazon rain forests) then you don't have plants to chew on the CO2... And it becomes a problem.

Robbie. It is soooo apparent that you have made a simple mistake here.. Somewhere around 5000BC Congress must have passed some sort of law that relaxed or tightened a law that caused this.

Must have.

Must have.

Well here's a graph of the last 10,000 years.

I suppose if people with money in "Green Energy" had been around all along...they would have blamed mankind for all of that too:

I didn't even take that into account.
It was probably Republicans and financed by ancestors of the Koch brothers.

Obviously only man has the POWER to change the Earth's climate. Anyone who says different is a "climate change denier"

it was 'normally' hotter a lot longer than this minor stint in time we call civilized society. where these giant lizards building a lot of factories in that time as well?
