Think is Man that causing Climate change? Read this...

Those specks MULTIPLY!!! It goes from 1 speck to 100,000,000,000 in a day! That's like saying, if your shot with 1 bullet you may survive, maybe if your lucky, 3 bullets, but not a Billion, "Come on man"...

 

It's not a matter of if, it's when!!! Also, have you ever studied the Super Volcano under Yellow Stone National Park? Maybe you should give that a read, that is way OVERDO! And, could possibly Enilate 2/3 of the population of America!

 

It already has!!! What about the Ice Age that was all gonna happen in the 70's, just one to start! I have about 10 more if you like.

 

Well, somebody said we're all going to be dead in 12 years and the clock is ticking! I got my casket all picked out! Hmmmmm, what about CATASTROPHIC Sea Levels, I got my Canoe ready! No politics here, just being prepared! These were "Science based items"!

 

How do you know? Nobody predicted Mt. St. Helen, Not correctly anyway, not even close! J, even if we shut off EVERY car on the planet, NOTHING would change, Nothing. Volcanos are a huge destroyer of the ozone, but yet it comes back and has for millions of years! The Dinosaurs were here 450 million years! The Grand Canyon and most of the mid states were under water at one time, of Course the world is changing. Let me know when we're gonna ground 50,00 airliners in the world, millions and millions of luxury power boats, 50,000 ships that burn 100,000 to 250,000 gals of diesel a day, countless private planes, ATV's, BBQ grills, Lawn mowers, weed whackers and things people just could not give a SH!T about. This is just the tip of the Ice berg. Come on man, your smarter than this! Just stop 1 ship bringing goods from over seas and what happens? Prices go up! Now, shut them all down... People went INSANE because they couldn't get toilet paper, what the hell do you think will happen when they can't get anything else?

 

jrider , Let's be (realistic) here. You live in NJ, as I do. Now without any exaggeration there is about 50 landscaper companies just on a 10 mile area. All these companies rely on 1 thing and 1 thing only. GAS! Can you Imaging if they had to plug in their mowers daily and run them 8 straight hours? None of them would be in business! NONE of them!!! That's millions of dollars lost a year in this county alone. Now, just put that into perspective for the whole state. There is some REAL science for you as well as an economic lesson. Picture everything that has some sort of power and now we have to plug it in. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I worked in the Engineering world for years and years, ITS NOT FEASIBLE and won't be. We don't have the fuel source. So now let's look at building the Infrastructure for said use, what is that going to require??? Fuel operated machines, steels, plastics, semi-conductors, Insulators, parts from over seas because we can't build S#!T here, people, food, farmers, water, cement and this list goes on and on!

 

I've drank me some Narragansett now while stationed in Newport! I didn't care cause it was cheap!

 

Anyone want to put this many people out of business? Call them and ask them how many Electric mowers they have? 99% rely on gasoline!!!
