Loved reading the discussions/opinions, that's what this blog is about. However, my point is there is way much more attention paid to any story that "proves" the Earth is warming and very little regarding any story that "proves" CO2 is not the driver of the warming cycle of the 80s,90s, & 00s. I don't think any of you can deny that there is an agenda here. More power, more control, more money. I agree with Baxter...if you want to recycle, reduce your "carbon footprint", reduce your pollution...do it for the right reason...not because it will stop GW, because it won't. The Planet functions on cycles, has for billions of years. We may have some minor influences, but we cannot start or reverse any climate cycle. I resent those who have influence over law makers and stand to profit by those laws they claim are backed by science. Remember the politicians motto...create a crisis (we'll have to cut police & fire depts) and that'll get the public to accept new taxes. GW alarmists...you have been exposed. Your new laws will end up harming the poorest of the poor. Shame on you!
Traveling up to St. Louis to watch the Saints...don't need heavy coats, jacket will do, umbrella nice if just to second line after we go 9 & 0 !!! Out weather on Friday...no major changes.

Hey bob. I am one of your biggest fans. I think I would start to hyperventilate if I met you. lol But, I was writing because I saw you said to reduce your carbon foot print. I am a senior at UNO and our professor gave us an extra credit assignment, and it was about carbon footprinting. www.myfootprint.org is the website we went to. We took the quiz, and it shows you how many earths it would take for us to live on if everyone lived the way you do. It also gives suggestions on reducing your footprint. Thought I would share..Love you Bob!!!
What Bob says is absolutely true. The motivation of AGW alarmists and Goreites, while masked in concern for mankind, stand to profit enormously by the enactment of energy mandates. Gore has already profited. Anything that is negative to their agenda is ignored in the media and by those groups.
30,000 scientists, meterologists and doctors have signed a peititon opposing anthropogenic GW. A Senate Minority Report features 650 dissenting scientists from all over the world who have no interest in energy companies. Although, there is ever increasing dissent to AGW and ever increasing proof that minute warming IF ANY, is NOT man made, further discussion is not heard by these folks with an obvious agenda. It's all about politics and money and has nothing to do with saving the planet.
I don't believe anyone is opposed to alternative energy sources and conservation, but ramming through mandates that will cost every American thousands of dollars a year, is just simply ludicrous.
"By the way, back in 1989 NASA's James Hansen told a congressional committee that we have only 10 years left to act regarding stopping GW. That was was 20 years ago." 1988 he testified and around 2004 and since there has been a great increase in tropical weather and the past 5 yrs have been sitting heat records.
Bob, please tell Caveman he's been spending way too much time in that cave with Bin Laden. There has NOT been great increase in tropical activity.
Where's your argument for the past few years after Katrina? I can't say for sure, but I think they were NOT the most active years. We only had ONE dinky storm in the Gulf ALL YEAR! The water in the Atlantic was cooler than normal, I think, correct me Bob, if I'm wrong.
And besides, weather technology and reporting is much more prevalent than decades ago. It has POLITICS in it. Weather forecasters dig deep into the well to come up with "named" storms to justify their forecasts. Backers of AGW in the weather media, create hype that AGW is the cause of any tropical activity. How ridiculous, hurricanes and tropical storms have been around as long as the planet. Tropical activity did not start with this century.
Go sip some tea with UBL.
LOL...Well said Craig!
Caveman is wrong, once again. The increase in Tropical Activity since 1995 is NOT from "Global Warming" it is just an active multi-decadal cycle, which is natural. There aren't any heat records either. In fact, its been, many years since the Ocean heat content has been so low on a global scale. Not to mention ACE is at a 30 year low this year.
BTW... Still no sunspots...
Twilighter...wow, what a website! What a way to make everyone feel guilty about living on this Planet. I find it's another way of looking at class envy. Look, I was born into a very poor household. At a very young age, I determined I was not going to live like my parents, always pinching pennies never going out to eat, seldom taking a vacation. Gee, I bet their carbon footprint was real small? But my Creator gave me brains and a motivation to succeed. It has allowed me to live a comfortable life. Now you want me to feel guilty because I sacrificed when I was young to enjoy the things my parents could never afford? Sorry, but I won't apologize for achieving. That's what has happened to America. We reward those who fail and punish those who achieve. If most lived the way I live, it would be a better world.
You know, I thought I was just a fan of your Weather Forecasting. But that....was Awesome.
Bob... What you wrote was very motivational for me, and like Baxter said...Just awesome! I didn't even bother visiting that website until I saw your comment. But gosh... Just going on that site made me feel guilty for exhaling CO2.
I didn't give them my email address after finishing the quiz so I didn't find out what my "carbon footprint" was. But that leaves me wondering, do they measure my "Carbon Footprint" by shoe size? LOL I mean really...Who makes up this politically incorrect garbage?
This whole carbon footprint agenda is designed to punish those who achieve because, supposedly, these are the folks who waste and pollute the most is nonsense. The guise of "saving the planet" loses it's luster when HIGH ACHIEVERS are allowed a mulligan if they purchase carbon credits. See, that's how Al Gore justifies his LARGE footprint. And besides, he MUST be allowed to maintain HIS large footprint because HE is the one spreading the "word". Doesn't he sound a little like an evangelist?
Hey, yall remember Rev, Ike? He used to brag about the fact that he was BLESSED with wealth. He flashed his jewelry, his expensive cloths, his fancy cars, etc. he would say he has these things because the Lord wanted him to have them. . . .cause he was spreading the "word". and because "I look REAL good in this $ 500 suit!".
That's Al Gore. He is justified in his footprint and if you want the SAME, you should pay for it. He wants Bob and all of us to FEEL guilty about our success, that we worked so hard for.
The twisted values of the these do-gooders are not the values we were taught, nor the values that made this country great.
And furthermore, MAN cannot change the climate.
