This is a post from 07/07/07....I TOLD YOU SO!!!!
And it's only going to get worse. Just wait for the Smart Grid. It will monitor your energy use and turn off what you don't need or are using to much of, like air conditioning. (But who will decide that, not you)
At the bottom I mentioned something about the new light bulbs.
By law in California, soon these will the only bulbs you can buy.
Check out this MSNBC Story on the Hazards of CFLs.
========================================================
I’m bitching so much lately, I think I’m turning into my Dad. hahahahaha
Anyway,
I am sitting here watching the Live Earth Concert and Al Gore is just smiling away. I think that is because in order to offset the so called “Carbon Footprint” of all the electricity being used to put this show on, and all the “Greenhouse gases” being spewed in the air by all the people driving to the concert and the jet fuel burned by the performers getting there, someone is putting money into his company, Generation Investment Management. hahahahaha
You know that is how he offsets his Carbon Footprint? Check it out.Gore Carbon Footprint
Gore FootprintI wonder if he really believes his crap.
You should all know by now that most of this hype about Global Warming is generated for the same reason corporations hype everything else,
MONEY.
All over the world big business is trying to get governments to enact a,
"Global Carbon Tax"
I don’t care how much money this tax generates, it will not remedy the biggest contributors of Global Warming.
The fact that the SUN is getting hotter as it does from time to time, expanding and contracting, combined with rotting leaves falling from trees, oh yeah,
the biggest “Green House Gas" creator, the OCEAN. People are such a small footprint on the Global Warming scene that if we were all gone, it would only slow down by a fraction.
As soon as someone can prove to me how man made CO2 has contributed to the simultaneous warming of
MARS
, I will believe that we are the biggest contributors here on Earth.
One more little gripe I have: You know those light bulbs all the activists want us to switch over too? Did you know they contain Mercury? You can be fined big time for throwing a battery away, what do you think is going to happen if you toss one of these babies in the trash.
