Global Warming – the big lie

Well, can’t tell we are having global warming by this winter. . . . wouldn’t have anything to do with the fact that folks like NASA are saying that we are colder now than we have been in like 100 years. . . . . guess that backs up the fact that the warming we were seeing over the last decade had more to do with the Sun’s cycle and the fact it was putting out more energy and nothing to do with us. Never mind the fact that one volcano puts more greenhouse gas into the air than we have in a decade but the tree huggers don’t want to hear that. You want to fix global warming then you need to figure out how to regulate the sun. . . . good luck with that.

Now add in the fact that we have started to pass laws based on this nonsense because it feels good (The great liberal reason for laws – we need to FEEELLLL good). In 2012 you will only be able to buy the compact florescent bulbs. Do you know they have Mercury in them and states such as Maine have put out special instructions on how to deal with them if they break due to hazardous material in them? So hazardous that the instructions include putting the bits in a glass jar since the mercury gas can get through plastic. And if you break it on your rug they say to cut out that part of your rug and throw it out. . . . Massachusetts is passing laws on what you have to do to dispose of the burned out (not broken) ones since the mercury is an environmental threat. Ya know what. . . . if they really are that bad then take them off the market and give me back the old style bulb. I’ll take the CO2 the plants can use over the mercury none of us can use.

All in the name of global warming. Folks, the earth and sun have gone through heating and cooling cycles since the start millions of years ago. In the 70’s when I was in school they were saying we were going into an ice age due to pollution, the 90’s started the warming due to pollution. . . . they don’t know but the environmental nutcases all scream bloody murder due to the current cause of the month and want laws changes and front page coverage for themselves.

Get over it – hot or cold it is not due to us, it is natural, it is the way it works.

Update from the EPA

The EPA says breakage of the energy-saving, mercury-containing CFLs can cause health hazards, especially for children and pregnant women, suggesting use of the bulbs over carpeted areas should be avoided. If bulbs break over carpeted areas, the cleanup may require cutting out pieces of the carpet to avoid toxic exposures.
