What happened to global warming?

The UN? The only thing that may have had value relating to them may have been the Toyota trucks in the movie Avatar. Well at least they already have a Alien Czar so that angle is covered... now if the can twist that into world power. Just my opinion.

 

Did you read the PDF?

 

Yes. Good read. I'm sure it wasn't part of Al Gore's biz plan!

 

Yeah I would expect not.

 

And to think about all the dpf and egr bullshit they have put on the diesels, that have made them run like shit... global warming is horse shit. it has completely ruined new diesel trucks.

 

Los Angeles broke heat record not long ago....

 

Aviation deal clears way for emissions scheme: EU

BRUSSELS | Sat Oct 9, 2010 9:58am EDT
(Reuters) - A global deal on emissions curbs by airlines struck late on Friday will allow the European Union to press ahead with plans to charge airlines for emissions permits from 2012, the European Commission said on Saturday.

The EU agreed in 2008 that airlines should be included in its emissions trading scheme (ETS), which forces industry to pay for permits for each tonne of carbon dioxide they emit into the atmosphere.

The ETS is the EU's main tool for combating climate change and it wants to see the system adopted worldwide. Aviation is responsible for some 2 percent of the world's carbon emissions.

Some U.S. airlines had challenged the EU's right to include their flights into and out of Europe within the ETS.

The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), a United Nations agency, adopted a resolution on Friday to reduce aviation emissions with a "roadmap" up to 2050 for the 190 member states.

The aviation sector would seek to become 2 percent more fuel-efficient every year and to cap emissions from 2020.

European Commissioners for Transport Siim Kallas and for Climate Action Connie Hedegaard said in a statement they welcomed the breakthrough after almost a decade of deadlock with a deal to cover over 90 percent of worldwide air traffic.

"Crucially, ICAO has refrained from language which would make the application of the EU's ETS to their airlines dependent on the mutual agreement of other states," the Commission said, adding this had led to stalemate at the last ICAO assembly in 2007.

"This time, the EU agreed to engage constructively in dialogue with third countries during the implementation of its ETS, notably regarding how to deal with emissions from incoming flights from third countries," she continued.

Just when it become obvious we should do all we can to increase global temps. to try and prevent the coming Ice Age! LOL!!

I don't think its called global warming anymore, I think they are just calling it climate change now. Who knows?

Some places are cooling, others are heating up. This summer it only reached into the 90's a few times, while in the past every day would have been in the 90s or above. I'm disappointed with Northern California's new crappy weather.

 

THREAD REVIVAL!!!

did i hear ice age??? everyone go idle your trucks and save us!

 

I work outside everyday and lately it has been so freaking cold that I almost hope for the global warming.

 

pretty funny

 

the UK is having one of it is harshest winters in 100 years. over the years the UK has been shutting down alot of its coal burning power plants and relying more on its wind turbines, but the problem is is that window turbines don't work to well when it is cold outside. They are starting to run into problems because sections of the country are losing electricity and people are dying because of the cold. see climate change does kill people!

 

...if you believe in global warming?

GET A FUCKING JOB, GIVE YOU MONEY TO AL GORE AND THE SCIENTISTS, AND

GET A FUCKING FAN! WHINY BIOTCHES!

COMMANDO!

 

Are you sitting down?
Okay, here's the bombshell. The volcanic eruption in Iceland, since its first spewing of volcanic ash has, in just FOUR DAYS, NEGATED EVERY SINGLE EFFORT you have made in the past five years to control CO2 emissions on our planet - all of you.
Of course you know about this evil carbon dioxide that we are trying to suppress - it’s that vital chemical compound that every plant requires to live and grow and to synthesize into oxygen for us humans and all animal life.
I know, it's very disheartening to realize that all of the carbon emission savings you have accomplished while suffering the inconvenience and expense of: driving Prius hybrids, buying fabric grocery bags, sitting up till midnight to finish your kid's "The Green Revolution" science project, throwing out all of your non-green cleaning supplies, using only two squares of toilet paper, putting a brick in your toilet tank reservoir, selling your SUV and speedboat, vacationing at home instead of abroad, nearly getting hit every day on your bicycle, replacing all of your 50 cents light bulbs with $10.00 light bulbs ...well, all of those things you have done have all gone down the tubes in just four days.
The volcanic ash emitted into the Earth's atmosphere in just four days - yes - FOUR DAYS ONLY by that volcano in Iceland, has totally erased every single effort you have made to reduce the evil beast, carbon. And there are around 200 active volcanoes on the planet spewing out this crud any one time - EVERY DAY.
I don't really want to rain on your parade too much, but I should mention that when the volcano Mt Pinatubo erupted in the Philippines in 1991, it spewed out more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere than the entire human race had emitted in its entire YEARS on earth. Yes folks, Mt Pinatubo was active for over one year - think about it.
Of course I shouldn't spoil this touchy-feely tree-hugging moment and mention the effect of solar and cosmic activity and the well-recognized 800-year global heating and cooling cycle, which keep happening, despite our completely insignificant efforts to affect climate change.
And I do wish I had a silver lining to this volcanic ash cloud but the fact of the matter is that the bush fire season across the western USA and Australia this year alone will negate your efforts to reduce carbon in our world for the next two to three years. And it happens every year.
Just remember that your government just tried to impose a whopping carbon tax on you on the basis of the bogus “human-caused” climate change scenario.
Hey, isn’t it interesting how they don’t mention “Global Warming” any more, but just “ClimateChange” - you know why? It’s because the planet has COOLED by 0.7 degrees in the past century and these global warming bull artists got caught with their pants down.
And just keep in mind that you might yet have an Emissions Trading Scheme - that whopping new tax - imposed on you, that will achieve absolutely nothing except make you poorer. It won’t stop any volcanoes from erupting, that’s for sure.




But hey, relax, give the world a hug and have a nice day!



PS: I wonder if Iceland is buying carbon offsets?
