global warming, carbon, and technologies

wow all this gloom and doom from the left and the media these days..reports…alleged denials…al gore and his movie and book(i am sorry but is he a climatology scientist..og sorry he gets a pass for inventing the internet) gosh it is all so depressing and most of it is a lot of b.s..starting with of course President Bush bashing..saying that he now just now admits to globaling warming cause by carbon released by fossil fuel burning power plants refineries etc…huh? well lets all get our facts straight ok gang? the following is a quote by the the President on june 11th,2001…”We all believe technology offers great promise to significanty reduce (greenhouse gas) emissions-especially CARBON (GASP) capture, storage and sequestration technologies” us department of energy www.fossil.energy.gov and he follows this up on february 27th, 2003 with the futuregen prject which is the worlds first prototype power plant to incorporate carbon capture…oh really….this is only one of many carbon sequestation projects under way which are sponsored by the us and the dept of energy…if he didnt think climate change was caused by carbon why would he be pushing these programs so read carefully again class……”reduce emissions ESPECIALLY CARBON” this all came about after the 2001 report from the iioc the project which is funded by the United Nations and is soon to come out with there latest report. the us is the leader in tech and pollution control..the press would have you believe that good old george. in not ratifying the Kyoto treaty, would have us all be burning in you know where or up to to our necks in in all the run-off from the melting snow and ice from the global change…well again not true (oh and by the way clinton had a chance to do this and also passed on it) but you will never hear this from the media..anyhow…if anybody had bothered reading the treaty..(good luck) they would know that..one…a report to President Clinton by the dept of energy and the epa said that this protcol was flawed and would not reduce emissions to anywhere near the levels stated and was not going to be signed by the emerging nations and such….but ok he did sign it and i went to the senate to ratify and was DEFEATED 95-0 yes not one lib senator voted for it..two….they established an emissions list which included carbon DIOXIDE..which the us epa has no standards for….and three….provisions to conties that cannot comply(and we cant sinse we could not reduce our carbon dioxide emmissions 7% since we have no standards…”allows industrialized countries to meet part of their required cuts in greenhouse-gas emissions by paying for projects that reduce emissions in other industrialized countries. In practice, this will likely mean facilities built in the countries of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union — the “transition economies” — paid for by Western European and North American countries.”
hmmm a little vague?…we should pay for projects in countries that have had no controls of air pollution while we have been doing it since 1970? i think not this protcol is a joke not only in its implimentation to reduce greenhouse gasses, but to suck more (much more ) money out of the US (we already pay 24% of 25 billion) well i am getting a little long and need to sum up….i will agree that our world temp has risen 1 deg the past century…why? i am really not sure…is it just part of the natural cycle? has it been caused man made pollution from industrial expansion? will the temp continue to rise? i dont know…nothing i have reasearched to date has convinced me one way or another …but one thing i do know….we live in a great country…our air water and way of life is much better than it was when i grew up in the 60s and 70s….if we need to reduce certain emissions we will.. but it takes time to do so..if carbon is the answer then it will be about 10-15 years before we have the equipment ready to do the job..you just dont invent a technology, design, build and install it in a power plant in 1-2 years…just not going to happen…oh well it could, maybe, but is everyone ready for a $1000 electric bill, and a 800 gas bill and 8-10 $ a gallon gas at the pump.I THINK NOT Cliff
