Gullible Warming
The scientific proof behind global warming is total crap and any open minded, intelligent person with a reasonable education in science can tell you that.
The theory behind global warming makes sense.
So what is the problem? The problem is propaganda and the gullibility of the average person. Some charismatic nut job like Al Gore runs around and tells everyone the world is ending and people get scared enough to do anything. The next thing you know the world does not end and people ask why.
In thirty years ecologists and conservationists like me will be lumped in with the nut jobs who claimed everyone would need a gas mask by 1990 and we would have another ice age by 2012.
These fricking morons who ride mountain bikes with ?Fight Global Warming? tee shirts and leave their pedal reflectors and water bottles all over the back country for guys like me to clean up are destroying conservation and ecology.
The 2nd law of thermodynamics states that every change in energy creates some heat which is lost to the surrounding environment. Essentially this is the law that prevents perpetual motion.
Flip a bicycle upside down and spin a wheel. It will stop sooner or later. If the bike is well tuned the wheel will take longer to stop because less energy is lost on each revolution. If the bike sucks the wheel will stop quickly. This is called ENTROPY and it is the reasonable theory behind global warming.
Essentially most of our energy conversion devices (gasoline engines, electric motors, etc) waste some energy when we use them. Cars waste about 70% of the energy we put in them. Some things only waste 10%. On average we waste about 50% of the energy we use to ?heat?.
The heat has to go somewhere, into the air, into the water, somewhere.
The more people, the more energy we use, the more heat we generate and the more heat builds up.
So far, this all makes sense.
The problem is when you include climate change. There is not enough data to say that climate change will occur because of waste heat. It makes sense that we should consider the possibility, but, to claim that we will have another ice age in a couple of years is really stupid.
That makes guys like me who want to work on making energy more efficient and the world cleaner look stupid when the world does not end.
I want to see our use of energy approach 95%. I want to see the world reduce pollution. Not because a bunch of morons are afraid the world will end, but, because we all need to work to make the world a better place.

Why I hate Democrats
I hate the Democratic Party. Aside from it's past genocide and current popular status as the party of the people the Democrats are an elitist, bigoted political party determined to create a two class society of "have" and "have nots".
Obama comes into office and cuts spending on AIDS in Africa in half, then his administration creates a fantasy budget and a 787 billion dollar stimulus bill on top the the money President Bush had already spent. That bill pushed the deficit to 85% for this year and insured that our deficit would grow exponentially over the next few years as we tried to pay interest on the deficit.
Just what did Obama do with that stimulus money?
Create Jobs? Nope, he paid back the rich people who voted for him. Check out this link at George Mason University:

Obama and the entire Democratic party disgusts me.

The Blind Side
If you like tear jerkers and good movies you will probably want to go see the Blind Side.
Usually the Hollywood propaganda machine does a really crappy job of addressing social issues. Having grown up as the child of a single mother in a lower income "cardboard village" Hollywood usually does little more than piss me off.
This movie was not as bad as I anticipated. In fact the culture shock between the haves and have-nots was pretty well documented. My Grandfather was in Mahogany Row at Chrysler, General Manager of Marketing and he owned an island so as a child I had a similar cultural issue of floating between poor and "rich".
The movie gives Liberal Democrats another reason to hate Republican Christians, it infers that the only reason the family helped "Big Mike" was to get a great athlete for their alma mater. Horse crap, if you are looking for a selfish reason for the family to help Big Mike it is more likely that the youngest kid was being picked on and befriended Big Mike as a way to keep the bullies away, but, that isn't inferred in the movie.
I think it most likely that the family saw the problem and since the mother was a charitable problem solver she just wanted to solve Micheal's problems.
Watch the movie, it is worth the money to see it in the theater.

I was just watching an episode of "Law and Order, Special Victims Unit" about a far left lawyer defending a child killer that was supposedly "brain washed by a nut case talk show host.
The show was really about propaganda and the way it effects people. The reality is that the show itself was a huge propaganda mess, in fact shows like this are far more dangerous propaganda than talk show hosts.
Fictional shows deliberately use emotional situations to propagate their ideology.
In this show a racist killed a bunch of children because their parents were immigrants. The racist claimed he was brainwashed by a talk show host and a nut case lawyer agreed with and defended him.
The problem is most people are not intelligent enough to separate facts from theory. When I mean most people, I mean 99.9% of people.
Global Warming? Climate Change? These are theories developed to scare people and they are based on the law of entropy. Essentially any time energy changes form, for example sun light moves through an atmosphere, some of that energy is lost in heat.
Eventually everything "burns out", in the big picture this is related to the Big Bang theory.
Do most people realize this? No, they just get frightened by the idea of climate change which will occur. Period. Sooner or later the climate will change.
What scares me about crap like global warming is that when it turns out that the world does not end in 2012 or 2020 or whenever the morons claim it will end people will get disgusted with conservation and ecology. People will put less time into these things and we will eventually bury ourselves in pollution.
Popular television shows, games, novels, popular entertainment, these are the most dangerous tools of propaganda.
The problem is that people react emotionally and not intellectually and even those who react intellectually do not have the capacity to see the larger picture.
Global Warming is a safe bet. The "Law", it is really a theory with so much experimental evidence that the probability of accuracy is so high there is almost no doubt, of Entropy demands it.
When will global warming happen?
No one knows, we only know that eventually the world, all worlds, will burn out. The only unknown is the exact time line and we don't know that because we have not been able to either accurately model or observe that.
How do I know we can't accurately model global warming and climate change? Because we can't predict weather yet.
Essentially the math becomes very involved at this point and it deals with cycles and statistics.
Math models used for predictions require a significant amount of data to be accurate.
In the end we just do not have enough data to make the kind of accurate prediction that global warming fanatics claim they have.
The science behind global warming claims the world is billions of years old and we have about 30 years of well documented, accurate global climate data. We have less well documented, less accurate data for maybe a hundred more years.
To get one tenth of a percent of the available data we would need tens of millions of years of data.
Truthfully, the predictions made by global warming nuts are less accurate than if you filled a mason jar with marbles, then guesstimated the volume of the moon and decided the moon would hold exactly this many marbles.
Not enough data.
Global warming will happen. Climate change will happen. Entropy demands it, but, claiming we can stop entropy, or even speed up or slow down entropy is ridiculous, until we have the data.
Global warming is based on the idea that humans are increasing energy. Nuts guesstimate entropy, factor in guesstimates of human energy and make guesses about how much that will increase entropy and how much that entropy will effect climate change.
Then they propagandize their results and the next thing you know we have crap science and popular entertainment mis-educating people about issues.
Global Warming is such crap science it is easy to discredit.
Racism and politics are not so easily discredited because they are less scientific and propaganda is a much more effective tool in spreading emotional ideologies.
If global warming nuts explained that climate change is inevitable and that data suggests people might be encouraging it the world might be different.
Instead emotional arguments for science are used. People are frightened and emotional arguments are used. It is ridiculous and it is even more difficult when we deal with less scientific issues.
In the end propaganda spreaders are the problem, not the solution and they will continue to make the world a worse place until people become more educated but that can't happen until propagandists stop wanting to mis-educate people.
