It's broken motherfuckers, let's fix it!
it's on youtube, and it is interesting....Stray wrote:Obviously global warming is real.. how it occurs is the point of conjecture.
Considering the ocean creates the majority of co2, followed by vegetation and then animals, with man coming in with a miniscule percentage of green house gasses.. and then considering that green house gasses make up some tiny percentage of the total atmosphere.. you gota wonder.
Check out the documentary "The great global warming swindle". Good viewing.
Crude was excellent last night. Very informative television on where oil comes from, how it was made during the last period of global warming (when the dinosaurs died) and how it just might be made again if our worst fears of global warming come to fruition.ADD_Boy wrote:^^ it's gonna be shown on ABC soon I beleive.
Check out "crude" (On ABC last night).. real eye opener.
Actually, some greenies, like my dad, are in a position to potentially make a shitload of cash.mrj wrote: From a financial perspective, sure, I can see how they really isn't a lot of money to be made from pushing the greenie agenda, or maybe there is but the reality is you can make heaps more money from being a fossil fuel guzzling uberconsumer.

that was the crux of "the global warming swindle" on BBC, their contention was that Thatcher wanted Uranium/Nuclear power to be the main source of energy for fear of the middle east and coal miners.mrj wrote:
Anyone been paying attention to the world uranium price lately? What about the share prices of uranium exploration and mining companies? I reckon theres some evidence lurking there that could be used to argue that the uranium guys have a lot to gain from a global warming "conspiracy". There is also enough money in that sector to buy influence to push such a conspiracy on the scale that would be required!
I'm not saying that this is what I think is happening. Its pure postulating. But its an interesting concept anyways.
Well thanks to the good old Nazi's who paved the way for mass production of synthetic fuel we could actually continue for some time using coal and natural gas to produce gasoline, diesel or kerosen.Special Hegg wrote:Whether it is true or not, we soon won't have affordable fossil fuels to maintain our current way of life

Close... it was from a book on Auschwitz which talked about the largest industrial plant established by I.G.Farben producing synthetic fuel, which I think accounted for 70% of fuel used by the nazi's.The Mixtress wrote:Is that information gleaned from your SS book DLPB??Dark Lord Piddle Bottom wrote:Well thanks to the good old Nazi's who paved the way for mass production of synthetic fuel we could actually continue for some time using coal and natural gas to produce gasoline, diesel or kerosen.Special Hegg wrote:Whether it is true or not, we soon won't have affordable fossil fuels to maintain our current way of life
