More fraud science on global warming (green font)

Now, with ten years of observations using its Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar (ASAR), Envisat has mapped an additional loss in Larsen B's area of 1790 sq km over the past decade.

Perhaps we aren't (and are) causing some globabl warming. http://news.discovery.com/earth/ancient-orbit-melted-permafrost-released-carbon-120405.html

A team of scientists is proposing that it came from the melting of permafrost, frozen soil packed with organic matter, after cycles in the Earth's orbit warmed up the areas near the poles. The melting released a massive amount of carbon into the atmosphere, keeping reflected sunlight from escaping and causing the heat wave.

This is so "inconceivable!" I wonder if it's truth?

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

me typing this message on a computer contributes to global warming.

Truth! I don't remember the statistics but the internet is a huge source of pollution. =\

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

running your air conditioning, wearing clothes made in a factory, using the washing machine...all contributes to global warming!

we need to get back to being naked and throwing spears.

And even then, the planet froze over! What the fuck are we to do?!

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

solar energy and electric cars.

I'm just glad I don't live in a place like Arizona, or New Mexico or Nevada that doesn't naturally have a strong source of clean water. I can only imagine those states lacking good water will only see the price of water continue to increase.

 

[Eastoff]

solar energy and electric cars.

I can't tell if you're being serious, but this is what I want. Also Bio Diesel fueled trucks and trains and planes! OH MY!

do you enjoy your Nissan Leaf?

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

we need to get back to being naked and throwing spears.

I'll second this.

 

[Eastoff]

do you enjoy your Nissan Leaf?

Nah close, it's a Nissan Hybrid!

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Nah close, it's a Nissan Hybrid!

why do you hate the earth?

 

[magnifier661]

Did you know those hybrid batteries are actually very bad for the environment (in Production and in landfills)?

 

[Eastoff]

this is true, it also comes from china. So are SUVs.

 

[Eastoff]

why do you hate the earth?

because I was born to lord over it.

 

[magnifier661]

this is true, it also comes from china. So are SUVs.

As long as we agree! So you are in it more to save on fuel than the environment? I like your style!

The batteries can be recycled though. I know Toyota will pay for every battery returned.

Nevada has plenty of fresh water. The Colorado River is about 10-15 miles from Vegas. There's lake Tahoe up north.

If you think recycling the casing and a few metal components are "recycling" then yeah, they are doing it. In order to make these batteries function again, you must completely gut the old and in with the new. The most "harmful" and environmentally unfriendly parts are still dumped.

It depends which batteries you are talking about and what you consider "the most 'harmful' and environmentally unfriendly parts".

Battery technology is improving. Hybrid and electric car batteries are typically nickel-metal and lithium-ion based and while they are not totally benign, they are less dangerous than lead.

mother earth should get her tubes tied

How much lithium is there in the world? (Hint: not enough)

That's like being anally raped! Any way you look at it, we're fucked!!!

Use nickel-metal hydride ones then

 

[Denny Crane]

There's a very limited supply of lanthanides, too.

 

[bluefrog]

There's also a limited supply of fossil fuel and we can't recycle fossil fuel.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

the world is running out of helium at an alarming rate

 

[Denny Crane]

There's also a limited supply of fossil fuel and we can't recycle fossil fuel.

There's enough fossil fuel for hundreds of years, though.
