I think they are just trying to cover up the blunder that they made with the 1970 Clean Air Act, which was fixing the errors of the 1967 Clean Air Act. But that is what happens when you have to make a rapid "tradeoffs" to a problem that you don't understand. Trade HydorCarbons, CO and NOx for H2O and CO2, let's hear it for catalytic converts.
I agree, if "they" [USGS] can put spiders on MT ST Helens to see how the dome is growing and moving, you would think that someone could tape a small GPS on the rock. Duct tape shouldn't change the movement by much.
better yet, put a small weather station, ala north pole, on a sled and leave it in the middle of the playa and see what the weather conditions are and when it moves. 12 volt battery and an automotive condenser should discourage people from disturbing the sled.
Assume that "they" make a go of it, what happens, that in thirty years down the road, there is a discovery that this process is leading to more green house gases then was thought? Or was thought of. I give you the catalytic converter.
Point: "I spend enough to offset my entire carbon footprint" tells me that "they" have their hands in you pockets and its too late for you to get their hands out. And you never will. "they" have a free lunch, and as long as you write the check, you are on their list of donors for life. How much more junk mail do you get then before? Everyone wants you to donate. Man, the hook is set.
Point: What "Ideal" world are you trying to achieve? The garden of Eden? Do a little research into the scablands of Washington state. The Ice dam broke up long before the first humans even thought of following the herds to this new land. But that is a political statement. So where are you heading, when will you get there, how will you know when you get there? Who is going to tell you that you have gotten there? Is mother nature going to allow you to get there (Mt St Helens, baby. Stop that one from happening again)
Point: I took several of those online carbon footprint calculator "tests", and I failed. Well above average. No where did it tell me to enter the number of trees on my property (15 acres, average tree density 1 tree per 100 sq feet). Sounds like they are geared for the Urban City dweller, Love that concrete heat sink. I'm willing to rent you a few trees at a nominal amount, if you want.
Point: I don't live in a concrete urban area. I live in a stick built house, wood usage slightly more then the amount cleared for the house itself. As stated above, with trees enough to cover any "carbon footprint". Its all an averaging thing any way, oxy from here offsets CO2 from over there.
I thought we were dealing with facts? But if the facts don't match my opinion, get emotional and personal. [read blue smoke and mirrors]
So, please lead by example, what are you doing to reduce carbon emissions? I have 15 acres of trees that breath for me. And I'm told that I can clear cut, cry global warming and get money (not mine) to replant the trees that I just cut down and got the money for. Oh, we didn't sign that treaty, did we.
When the yeast first hits the wort, concentrations of glucose (C6H12O6) are very high, so through diffusion, glucose enters the yeast (in fact, it keeps entering the yeast as long as there is glucose in the solution). As each glucose molecule enters the yeast, it is broken down in a 10-step process called glycolysis. The product of glycolysis is two three-carbon sugars, called pyruvates, and some ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which supplies energy to the yeast and allows it to multiply. The two pyruvates are then converted by the yeast into carbon dioxide (CO2) and ethanol (CH3CH2OH, which is the alcohol in beer). The overall reaction is:
C6H12O6 => 2(CH3CH2OH) + 2(CO2)
You must have missed the History channel back to back Climate programs the past week. First program went off on how "Global Warming" was destroying the planet because it was getting warmer. The second program was how "Global Warming" was destroying the planet because it was getting colder and how we were heading toward another mini ice age. So which band wagon do we jump on, or off???
I'm so confused.
The climate will change.
How many people are needed to stand in front of an Avalanche and stop it? {loved the nuded shots}
What are YOU doing to change your life style? Buying carbon credits is bogus, however, I rent you the O2 output from any one of the trees on my acreage if it would make you feel better.
If, over the course of 10 seasons, we see a trend of weaker-than-predicted hurricane seasons, it might mean something
But that is what I am not hearing, all I hear is the single point data, "last year was one degree warmer then the average", what is the variance? is this the fifth consecutive year above average?
Climate changes, but don't go saying that I have change my life style because of some inference of past climate. I have endangered species on my property, protected by the county, but that d___ spunk sprays one more time and it's toast.
Least we forget the hurricane that killed all the builders of the Keys Highway, I believe, in the 1930's, (34 may have be it, but haven't checked), which has been speculated at being far worse then Katrina.
Fact: the 4 of 5 months for 2007 have had the lowest average temperature for the period my weather station has been in operation. Only February has been warmer.
and the Consensus is? Who cares. The only time that my body temperature will be a constant temperature is when I assume room temperature, and even that will vary.
Have a day
Just put your mouse over the "click" link and the wait, the script runs without having to go to the link. Oh, and you want me to tell you which link, too, no doubt.

But you "spend a minimal amount of money" to offset your footprint, Why??? You're not doing enough, then?

the '79 oil crisis brought us "more efficient cars", but where are they now? And why didn't you mention a US car maker, why Toyota?

The midwest US in the 1930's, I think it was referred to as the Dust Bowl.
I rest my case.
So M$ will pay me to do research that says is better the Windows?
Yes, Bill, I want money to research the advantages of .
OR
Yes, I want to research the innovations of Vista.
Wants going to get you the research grant??? Wouldn't you go where the money is??
It's where the money is, go with the flow
Why wasn't last year more severe? That was what was predicted, guess they were wrong....darn

So, they have figured out how to inject and miss ALL nerve ending???? When they do that, then you will have a painless injector.
