explain to my why this is better to the point of ridiculing the other
possibility? it's not that i'm a huge proponent of the other view, i
just find the absolute dismissal of it quite funny given the
acceptance of another theory to be sooooooo much more valid. please
enlighten me.

Rick, the scientific way is to look at the data and make a determination.
Validity is based on the scientific method and empirical data, not junk
science. The jury is not out, Al Gore is far from being a scientist. There
are over 400 real scientists who's studies dispute anthropogenic global
warming and CO2 as the cause. I don't know about you but my car and boat use
petrol and if the shmucks at the UN are pushing a certain view, with a
political agenda, which affects the world economy and especially the US, and
what I pay for gas, then my liberties are compromised. That's why I want the
truth and so should you. I don't have a problem with new technologies that
are environmentally friendly, if they work and if they are cheap and won't
propagate the economic meltdown we're experiencing. One of the biggest
farces out there is Bio Fuels. It takes about 4 times as much energy to
produce ethanol than is liberated from its burning. And it's causing
increases in the cost of corn which in turn has caused increases in
everything that eats corn, i.e.. cows and omnivores. The government
subsidizes its production which increases taxes on you and I. I'm tired of
the bull, how about you?

Yes, you're right. I did hear about this. I think it's possible that ice on
one side of the earth can be increasing while the other decreases. I suppose
this has happened before in the many millennium's of the earth's climate
history. The general group is just....... general. Right, we're gonna get
busted and banned if this gets out of hand :-) Me a Paris terrorist?

rich, if you read the very first part of my post " it's not that i'm
a huge proponent of the other view" then you would know that i'm not
saying that global warming" is immanent. i would look at the evidence
and make what i would hope to be an educated decision...right or
wrong. however, i do find it a bit ludicrous to as many would suggest
that we as humans (6 +billion) have no impact on the planets
environment.
i fully believe and expect that the earth has it's own natural warming
and cooling cycles. i also believe that we are affected by outside
stellar influences (our sun being the nearest). and as stated above i
believe that the 6+ billion of us do affect our surroundings; possibly
more than the earth and all it's processes can overcome. i also do
not see a problem with trying to live as responsibility as we can and
if that means it costs us a little more to do so then so be it.
i'm already getting #ucked up the ass by the corp leaders who get paid
100's of millions of dollars to mismanage a company into the ground so
what's a few more bucks spent to insure that my granddaughter and her
children also have the opportunity to get the same @ucking? of all
the things to complain about spending money on, i find their future as
the absolute least objectionable. so i say, lets not spend it on the
same old bullshit and spend it on something wothwhile...our...their
future. we've spent trillions on how to destroy the planet, how about
we spend some to..at the least...help it. i don't think that's a
waste of money.
how about instead of the check box for donating money for a political
party on the 1040 we have donate to alternative energy funding? or
stop fathers from @ucking their daughters? or parents from killing
their kids? you know, something useful rather than getting joe/debbie
whoever getting elected to do nothing but bitch about joe/debbie
whoever doing whatever they do and doing nothing but worrying about
getting reelected...now that's a @ucking waste of our money.
god, am i redundant or what???

Here we go again, indeed. :^)
Rich, you're still doing a great job of ignoring most of the evidence
and grasping for whatever you can use to rationalize your existing
position. Which is, if I read your message correctly, that raising the
price you pay for gas is an infringement on your liberties.
Better take that up with Exxon who are losing money hand over fist in a
desperate attempt to keep your gas price affordable. ;^)
I'm sure you're quite right to believe that all the scientists you
ignore are way too dumb to know anything about "natural warming and
cooling cycles." Good thing you're around to correct the experts on
their ignorant oversights. LOL! Good on ya. Heh. BTW:
http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2008/02/antarc tica-is-cold/#more-529
I'd be happy to more completely celebrate your non-objective, political
paranoiac knee-jerk reactionism and scientific scapegoatism, which I
love, but A) this is the PARIS group not the General group, B) I like
boats, too, and C) I just got a new bass and it needs to be played...
Cheers,

Back in 1971 I went on an acid binge and when the paranoid phase of it
kicked in, I was watching TV and Walter Cronkite was talking about nuclear
testing and I decided that the free protons and other stuff that was caused
by splitting atoms was going to affect other atoms and cause them to mutate
and that eventually this would start affecting DNA molecules all over the
earth, even with people who were thousands of miles away because it would be
like a domino theory so as the paranoia grew, it became obvious that not
only were we doing this here, but that our solar system was actually just an
atom in a much larger molecule and that if we were doing this here, then it
was probably happening in a parallel universe too and that it was just a
matter of time before our sun which is nothing more than the nucleus of an
atom was either going to split wide open because it was probably part of a
uranium molecule. At that point I really got paranoid and it was nighttime
so I went outside and started staring at the stars and suddenly I saw this
big shooting star and I knew that this was a particle that was heading to
split the sun and so I figured that since I was gonna die anyway, I'd write
this theory all down so I rolled up a fattie and did just that while I
waited for sunrise. Well, the world didn't end that morning and since I was
a college student at the time and I had a paper due for my political science
class and my prof was a real cool Korean dude named Dr. Kim and he hated the
military industrial complex and nukes I took the paper to class, still
trippin my butt off and turned it in as an essay and everyone looked at me
funny and their faces were melting and there were rainbows crawling up the
walls and lights shooting out of people's noses so I had to leave but this
was the 70's, like I said and the next day everyone thought it was cool and
Dr. Kim didn't look like the catepillar in Through The Looking Glass and he
told me how "imaginative" he thought I was so I felt better...I guess people
back then thought this kinda stuff was normal.
You could have knocked me over with a feather when I saw this a few years
ago.

Yikes! Glad you survived. It was nice of you guys to come out to see the
band I was playing with back then.
I'm doing a solo show at the legendary Swallow Hill Cafe on Thursday
April 24th. More info: www.JamieKrutz.com/upcomingshows.html
If you make it I will buy you a beer. If Aaron makes it, I will buy you
a second beer so Aaron can better keep you under control. ;^)
If John makes it, I'll get off the stage and let him play! :^)

Dude, I think we were having our acid phases at the same time, though I
never had a "bad trip". I just laughed a lot and thought I was enlightened
until the next morning. :)
But I do remember that scene in "Men In Black." I ran it several times,
then a few more times in slow motion. Whoa. :)

Cool about your new bass. Did you say it's a Warwick, an import, nice. I dig
that Warwick growl too. Don't ever get rid of the Fender Jazz, Jaco would be
dissapointed. Are you playing fretless? Just got back from Miami, working on
an arrangement for Othello Molineaux's new cd. It's a piece for a steel drum
orchestra, well, he and I are playing the parts for the recording. Toots is
supposed to play on it.
Global warming is boring man. Me a paranoid, knee jerk reactionary,
scientific scapegoater? I don't even know what that is, but I live in the
northeast and would welcome the tropics up here :-) I'm tired of friggin'
winter.
Peace,
Rich

Yep, I'm keeping the Fender, it has a great sound. Digging the Warwick,
