The Enviro-Nazis are try to thwart train traffic.
OK…so, they don’t use Diesel powered trains to haul the coal. They revert to electric power and use most of the electricity generated by the coal to power the trains. BRILLIANT…
Why not build the “Clean” coal fired generating stations beside the coal mines, thus solving the whole problem. Last I heard; the electricity carrying transmission lines haven’t done too much air poluting out in the open areas.
Then; “They” can start looking at the real poluters that are causing the problems: Flatuating human animals, their personal automobiles, and highway trucks that far outstrip the railway’s Diesel locomotives where polution is a factor.
If trucks were taken off the highways, and their cargoes were transported by rail; it would cut polution by half. Airliners for a fact, polute more on every takeoff than a Diesel locomotive does in crossing the country, hauling 100 cars of anything; even people.
Then of course we could suggest to a lot of twits; that walking to the corner store is not poluting as much as driving, even with three farts for every six foot steps !!!

I think I’ll apply for a government grant to study that…:lol:

That is kinda funny, sorta like complaining about the fumes from a deisel truck hauling garbage to be incinerated, its the truck they gripe about…
So , as I said a few times before , you are now getting the same bs as we have been putting up with here for some time .
Ask yourselves , what is the agenda here ?
These global warming climate changers can’t be proven wrong because they predict it 100 years ahead . They got it wrong with the hole in the ozone layer , then got it wrong because things didn’t “warm up” quick enough , now a crowd of them at that tremendously impartial organisation , the united nations (I cannot bring myself to use capital letters for the un ) come out with a 90%certainty that in 100 years , it’ll be too hot for us .
So it’s all the money to Africa again , folks , for fridges to keep them cool .
Meantime they’ve socked the western european powers into a corner by relying on Russian fuel , and guess what ? They are surprised that President Putin has shown his patriotism to his country by using fuel as a weapon .
We in the west wouldn’t do that , would we ?
I am not a lover of the Russians , I spent too long fighting their agencies all over the world , but they do tend to get things right occasionally . Like , who pulled out of Afghanistan then ? Made right suckers of us there , eh ? .
This climate change muck , who is going to make the money is what we should be looking at . Think . The Chinese are producing more “greenhouse gasses” from their rice than we do from fuel . Get real . Stifle a fart and save the planet .
Mike
Chinese also have it right…produce less babies. It lowers the population and thus protects the environment. But that’s not feasible in a capitalist society…The more people the more to spend money.

Quote:Yep and in the 70's they were saying we were headed into another ice age. They even proposed covering the polar ice caps with a layer of soot to make them melt faster.

If the millions of illegals would go home, our pollution and gas consumption would go way down.
Yes we are headed into another ice age. It’s been happening since the earth existed. The earth gets warmer, the ice melts, the oceans get higher, and eventually cover more land. With less land, less heat is retained, and the earth eventually gets cooler.
Now, you have an ice age.
As it gets cold, ice forms, and the ice makes the sea level get lower. Eventually enough more land is exposed and the earth retains more heat and it heats up. Now repeat the process approximately every 10,000 years.
So I don’t get it when people say we are not headed for an ice age and use the warming of the earth to say it’s not happening. The historical evidence of how often this happens and the level of the oceans can be seen in core samples and sedimentary layers all over the earth.
The big thing is when. Can we stop it? No. Can we alter when it happens? Maybe.
Since this cycle of ice ages has been happening forever, why should we do anything about it? Just the ice age coming. Pollution and quality of living? Yeah we should pay attention. But delaying or accelerating the inevitable? Well, my opinion is that the changes in climate will have to be accomodated at some time, so planning to live with it seems a good idea.
Of course I will be dead before it gets really hot, or Arizona has beachfront property!

Greg ,
Now you gone and ruined it , man , bringin’ common sense into de equashun .
Dere wuz me about to ditch the Jeep (4.7 gas guzzler , should be ashamed o’myself)
I wuz gunna get a Hummer instead .

Fred Mills said:No, but the nuts and fruits say that the high tension power lines cause cancer. Now, millions of sailors have lived inside of a 400 volt, gazillion megawatt field for their entire careers, and their (our) cancer rates are lower than the rubes at large. 'Cept maybe for the Bubbleheads (Submariners), they glow in the dark, don't you know.

Let’s look at what the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization recently found regarding global warming. The number-one cause isn’t growing herds of SUVs; it is growing herds of cattle. That’s right: Bovine methane does more to warm the planet than your Hummer H2. The world’s 1.5 billion cows are found to be the culprits in 18 percent of the gases that cause warming—more than trains, planes and automobiles combined. Not only that, but livestock (including fertilizer and other things necessary for their care) are blamed for everything from acid rain to poisoning rivers and destroying coral reefs. As for Kerry, while he’s certainly all hat and no cattle, he’s still full of, er, cattle waste.

I enjoy this thread , some bloody funny stuff gets posted .
Steve’s comment made me imagine you all holding one back and exploding simultaneously–or even at the same time .
The seismometers would have sprung a tsunami warning . Greenhouse gas meters would have suicided . Or should that read "Green , house gas " ?
A thought . The chinese could start and end ww3 if they orgainised a fart-in . Must let them know .
