Everything you need to know about bio-fuels

Energy independence, a cure for global warming, renewable energy supplies? William Tucker gives an excellent explanation of the facts and the latest studies to come out. It'll be six months before you read about this in the MSM.

Loch Ness was not killed by Global Warming - or did you not get the memo - the monster Found Nemo and evolved.... probably running for political office to ban scientific research in said "monsterosities"....

By the way liked you comments you posted on there true Sailway style - (howd I know - you are the only one that would care to)

More news on the worlds ocean rise and temps from another respected and peer reviewed source:
"The above paragraph reinforces a conclusion reached on Climate Science that global warming, at least as diagnosed by tropospheric and upper ocean heat content (see), has not been occurring since 2004. It is impossible to know if this lack of warming will continue, but these observations are inconsistent with the predictions of the long-term global climate predictions, such as reported in the 2007 IPCC report."

That's just one of the disadvantages of being a "right wing whacko" denby, facts actually do mean something.

Burning ethanol in a car releases a lot more CO2 into the atmosphere than burning petroleum, because the additional power (diesel, etc.) required to grow the corn releases CO2 which is added to the CO2 released by the ethanol when it burns.

Nuclear energy doesn't release any CO2.

Facts are stubborn things. (John Adams)

Fact 1: The earth's climate, on average, has been getting warmer over the past 50 years.

Fact 2: The rate of warming is contributed to by people.

Fact 3: You don't know how much of it is caused by people, and neither do I.

Fact 4: You don't know what the total effects of the climate change will be, and neither do I.

Fact 5: You should pull in the ripped spinnaker BEFORE the boat runs over it.

And that is that.
