Oh my, things are angry on this board today. I am going to try to be positive here. I think we all agree (Blue, Swartzkopf, Darkstar, me) that the government is taking too much of our money, and fucking up royally. The minutia of the greenhouse gases and the questionable science on both sides is neither here or nor there. Let’s get Ron Paul into office so we can get rid of the IRS, keep the money we earn, then worry about the environment after we resolve the over-taxation (slavery) that is threatening to destroy this great nation. Ok, let’s all be friends now. ---

I have no problem with that. But hear me out. 1. We burn a shitload of oil. 2. We burn so much we have to depend heavily on the middle east 3. If we were to attain energy independence through alternative biofuels, more efficient cars, solar power, etc. it would benefit the environment greatly. 4.

Is it possible to farm enough to meet the fuel demands since it takes such a large area of land? I wonder what caused the increase from 7500 years ago to 2500 years ago. And are ice core CO2 levels (however those are measured) comparable to “modern data”. I’ll assume so since hopefully the people doing the measurements would know better. If I changed the title of the plot from “Human contribution to climate change” to “CO2 levels due to natural swings in the Earth’s climate”, would that change the meaning of the data? 🙂 Is 10,000 years a useful timeframe? In terms of the age of the planet (which is a whole other topic we won’t get into), this could be like looking at a plot of the stock market for the past hour relative to back to 1940. If you collect data from a billion years ago (which probably isn’t possible), the peak from 1800 to 2000 could be hidden in the scatter. A big :dunno: to all of the above. ---

Simple Economics, nothing cheaper is available. who says that new energy research will be government run of government mandated. You can make your own biodiesel right now. Seems to me it takes government OUT of the equation. And as far as the banning of foreign oil? If you did that, our economy would come to a grinding halt. Gas would cost $50 a gallon. inflation would go through the roof. It would ultimately end in total anarchy and the entire destruction of the United States as we know it. So how about we just work on those biofuels instead. 😉 ---

You’re the one who wants us to stop using it, to be honest, I don’t really care. I’m trying to teach you something about economics. While there is a cheaper alternative, very few people, if anyone, will switch from the cheapest method, it certainly won’t have an economic impact on a national level. GM, Nissan, Ford, and I’m sure a few others are producing flex fuel vehicles, and E85 is not very popular, despite the corn subsidy. Without the subsidy, E85 wouldn’t be worth trucking around the country. Anyone can make bio-diesel, but if you aren’t getting your oil free from McDonalds, you tell me how much that vegetable oil costs? Economic solution to keep us off of foreign oil? I don’t think so. Necessity is the mother of invention. While cheap oil flows, people will use it, end of story.
