Guest guest Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Once again, we have yet another neo-con forward that is not even close to reality. http://www.factcheck.org/2010/06/eruption-corruption/ For those who don’t have time to waste here is a brief summary. BTW this article uses facts and gives references for those facts, not made up ideological nonsense….. If you just look at the European air travel that was halted during the eruption; those planes give off approximately 304,000 tons of CO2 per day. The Icelandic volcano, at the height of its eruption, is estimated to have only belched out150,000 – 300,000 tons per day. Which means that the European air travel stoppage ALONE more than balanced the CO2 put out by the volcano!

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 So Glen The issue I forwarded was labeled food for thoujght. Why is it that anyone who disagrees with you is labled a neo con that has ideological nonsense. Sortas like anyone who argues with Obama is a racist.... while your position validates the the balance of air travel for this particular eruption... the point is that there are ongoing eruptions that do not stop travel and pour large quantities of gasses. Of course I guess it would be to much to expect to put forth objective thought processes for intelligent conversation without name calling or intellectual arrogance being displayed. My bad. Can it possibly be that there are more aspects to global warming than greenhouse gasses ? After all everyone " knew" in the 70's that we were going to run out of oil by 2010 . It was so.. the "scientific community" said so. Regards Danno OT Climate change food for thought Professor Ian Plimer could not have said it better!

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Thanks Glen for clearing the air with some facts. A quick search of google under "Ian Plimer" revels this from Source Watch:Ian R. Plimer (born February 12, 1946) is a Professor of Mining Geology at the University of Adelaide, South Australia, and Emeritus Professor of Earth Sciences at the University of Melbourne. He is a global warming sceptic and has written the "denier's bible", a book called Heaven and Earth. He was described by columnist of The Australian, Australia's biggest-selling national newspaper, as a "denialist poster-boy".[2] of Climate Scientists Australia described Plimer as an "egotistic charlatan and [a] fraud".[3]Plimer is a director of four mining companies: Ivanhoe Australia, a subsidiary of Bob Friedland's Ivanhoe Mines,[4][5] CBH Resources,[5] Kefi Minerals,[6][7] and Australia-based coal gas company, Ormil Energy.[8] As part of his employment agreement with Ivanhoe, Plimer can forgo annual directors fees of $65,000 in return for a total of 100,000 share options "for nil consideration." The options are available in four installments on September 1 each year from 2008 through to 2011, subject to Plimer continuing in employment with the company.[9] (Ivanhoe Australia, which has an interest in uranium exploration, stated in its 2008 prospectus that "one of the arguments for nuclear energy is its substantially reduced level of carbon emissions".)[10] Plimer is also non-executive Director and Deputy Chairman of Kefi. He has 3.6 million shares in Kefi which, at the July 2010 value of 8 to 95 British pence each, would be worth between £288k and £3.42M.[11][12][13] CBH Resources paid him $A125,000 in 2009 and $A181,003 in 2008. As of June 2009, Plimer had options on 3,569,633 CBH Resources shares.[14] At the early November 2009 share price of .10, Plimer's options would be worth approximately $A356,963.. However, CBH's annual report does not list details of what price, if any, the options would be available at or when they would have to be exercised by.Plimer claims that his mining company directorships have no impact on his beliefs,[5] even though he has extensive financial interests in mining companies that would be negatively affected by any limits placed on carbon emissions. Plimer himself has argued that the proposed Australian carbon-trading scheme could decimate the Australian mining industry,[15] and "probably destroy it totally",[16] as well as creating "massive unemployment".[16] M Kalb MS DCAuthor of Winning at Aging Wellness Chiropractor and Health Coachwww.DrKalb.com 541.488.3001 On Jun 17, 2011, at 11:46 AM, D Beebe, D.C. wrote: So Glen The issue I forwarded was labeled food for thoujght.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Danno, First off I love having intellectual debates with people I disagree with. However your forward was not the beginning of one. Mostly because there was nothing objective or intelligent about it. Your forward is the intellectual equivalentof an article saying; “Cigarettes cure cancer and make you 12 feet tall”. Then you have the audacity to get insulted that I point out it is nonsense?! The language I choose was the most polite language possible for this sort of material. Simply labelinga forward “food for thought” does not excuse passing on thinly veiled as pseudo-scientific propaganda. The true problem is that this list serve is inedited with unscientific, unsubstantiated pseudo-intellectual garbage that is hidden behind the OT or “I am just forwarding this” or “here’s some food for thought”, or “here’s something I read”. And the reason I describe the vast majority of these as “neo-con” is in the time I have been on this list serve (since the Bush v Gore debacle) I cannot remember a single progressive forward that can be debunked on the facts with 1 minute of research. OhI’m sure there have been a few. But this list serve gets weekly propaganda from the far right. Some weeks daily. Precious few of these forward are thought provoking or make anything resembling an intellectual argument. I long for a debate of substance fromthe right. I have seen almost none from this list serve. The thing that worries me most is the image that this list serve gives of how unscientific and uninformed chiropractors are. I realize this is not intended for the general public, but there are non-DCs on this list. I also realize thatonly the majority of DCs on this list serve don’t hold these extreme views. However because they are normally silent or only post occasionally the moderate view gets trampled by the few It strikes fear in my heart to think these poorly thought out and unsupportable opinions are being spewed forth by people claiming to have the education of “doctors”. And representing my profession to the world. I’ve had people say tome, “chiropractors aren’t scientist. They don’t understand evolution, they can’t comprehend global warming, the argue the earth is flat and was created only 5,600 years ago.” That is the image that the scientific community has of chiropractors. Mostly thanksto forwards like yours. This is an example of the complete lack of understanding about science and the lack of understanding of scale involved in Prof. Plimer’s discussion. Here is a excerpt from a GOP blog http://www.rep.org/opinions/weblog/weblog11-6-16.htmlTerrance Gerlach, a geochemist who has spent years researching erupting mountains at USGS’ Cascades Volcano Observatory, published a report reviewingfive studies that examined the volcano-CO2 question. Those studies estimated that volcanoes’ global CO2 output range between 100 million and 500 million metric tons per year.In contrast, the International Energy Agency reported recently that CO2 emissions from human energy consumption in 2010 totaled about 30.6 billion metric tons – some 60 to 300 times higher than volcanic emissions. Let me reiterate this point; humans put out into the environment 60-300 times the CO2 of ALL volcanoes on the planet. These stats demonstrate how ludicrous Professor Plimer’s point is. To put this into more concrete terms: Imagine ifI forwarded a post that the current total population of the whole USA was 1 million people (about 1/300th the actually amount)? Should I expect a reasonable intellectual debate as I have made a reasonable and well thought out difference of opinion? Of course not. Someone would simply post the population of Oregon is 3.8 million. I can’t imagine anyone defending a position that far off the mark. And yet that is exactly what Prof. Plimer has done and you have forwarded. If you wish to label it as arrogant my pointing out how foolish his arguments are… so be it. It doesn’t change the fact they are foolish. You ask, “Can it possibly be that there are more aspects to global warming than greenhouse gasses?” Of course there are. Far too many factors to list here. However so many of them our out of human control. For example we can’t control eruptions. But we can control driving habits, deforestation, light bulb choices, black toping overgreen spaces, factor emissions, traffic patterns, buying local, putting on a sweater instead of turning up the heat, investing in reusable energy sources… etc etc. Glenn Sykes, DC Gresham Town Fair Chiropractic ClinicPhone: (503) 667-6744Fax: (503) 661-7896WWW.GRESHAMCHIROPRACTOR.NET From: [mailto: ]On Behalf Of D Beebe, D.C.Sent: Friday, June 17, 2011 11:46 AM ; Dr. Glenn SykesSubject: Re: OT Climate change food for thought So Glen The issue I forwarded was labeled food for thoujght. Why is it that anyone who disagrees with you is labled a neo con that has ideological nonsense.Sortas like anyone who argues with Obama is a racist.... while your position validates the the balance of air travel for this particular eruption... the point is that there are ongoing eruptions that do not stop travel and pour large quantities of gasses.Of course I guess it would be to much to expect to put forth objective thought processes for intelligent conversation without name calling or intellectual arrogance being displayed. My bad. Can it possibly be that there are more aspects to global warming than greenhouse gasses ? After all everyone " knew " in the 70's that we were goingto run out of oil by 2010 . It was so.. the " scientific community " said so. Regards Danno OT Climate change food for thought Professor Ian Plimer could not have said it better! If you've read his book you will agree, this is a good summary.Okay, here's the bombshell. The volcanic eruption in Iceland, since its first spewing of volcanic ash has, in just FOUR DAYS, NEGATED EVERY SINGLE EFFORTyou have made in the past five years to control CO2 emissions on our planet, all of you.Of course you know about this evil carbon dioxide that we are trying to suppress, that vital chemical compound that every plant requires to live and grow,and to synthesize into oxygen for us humans, and all animal life.I know, it's very disheartening to realize that all of the carbon emission savings you have accomplished while suffering the inconvenience and expense of:driving Prius hybrids, buying fabric grocery bags, sitting up till midnight to finish your kid's " The Green Revolution " science project, throwing out all of your non-green cleaning supplies, using only two squares of toilet paper, putting a brick in your toilettank reservoir, selling your SUV and speedboat, vacationing at home instead of abroad, nearly getting hit every day on your bicycle, replacing all of your 50 cents light bulbs with $10.00 light bulbs...well, all of those things you have done have all gonedown the tubes in just four days.The volcanic ash emitted into the Earth's atmosphere in just four days - yes - FOUR DAYS ONLY by that volcano in Iceland, has totally erased every single effortyou have made to reduce the evil beast, carbon. And there are around 200 active volcanoes on the planet spewing out this crud any one time - EVERY DAY.I don't really want to rain on your parade too much, but I should mention that when the volcano Mt Pinatubo erupted in the Philippines in1991, it spewed out more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere than the entire human race had emitted in its entire YEARS on earth. Yes folks, Mt Pinatubo was active for over one year, think about it.Of course I shouldn't spoil this touchy-feely tree-hugging moment and mention the effect of solar and cosmic activity and the well-recognized 800-year globalheating and cooling cycle, which keep happening, despite our completely insignificant efforts to affect climate change.And I do wish I had a silver lining to this volcanic ash cloud but the fact of the matter is that the bush fire season across the western USA and Australia thisyear alone will negate your efforts to reduce carbon in our world for the next two to three years. And it happens every year.Just remember that your government just tried to impose a whopping carbon tax on you on the basis of the bogus ''human-caused'' climate change scenario.Hey, isn't it interesting how they don't mention ''Global Warming'' any more, but just ''Climate Change'' - you know why? It's because the planet has COOLEDby 0.7 degrees in the past century and these global warming bull artists got caught with their pants down.And just keep in mind that you might yet have an Emissions Trading Scheme (that whopping new tax)imposed on you, that will achieve absolutely nothing except make you poorer. It won't stop any volcanoes from erupting, that's for sure.But hey, relax, give the world a hug and have a nice day!__________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 6201 (20110612) __________The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus.http://www.eset.com__________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 6201 (20110612) __________The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus.http://www.eset.com __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 6201 (20110612) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com__________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 6201 (20110612) __________The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus.http://www.eset.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
