- LOS ANGELES -- The
Bush administration has decreed that carbon dioxide from industrial emissions
- the main cause of global warming - is not a pollutant.
-
- The decision by the Environmental Protection Agency -
announced with minimal fanfare on the eve of the Labor Day weekend - reverses
the stance taken under President Clinton and allows industry to increase
emissions with impunity.
-
- It is also part of a pattern of casting doubt on scientific
evidence, going back to the US's rejection of the Kyoto Protocols in 2001.
Earlier this year, the Bush administration excised a 28-page section on
climate change from an EPA report. It also ignored a report by the US Academy
of Sciences that argued that the evidence of climate change could not be
ignored.
-
- "Saying that carbon dioxide does not cause global
warming is like refusing to say smoking causes lung cancer," said
Melissa Carey, a climate change expert with the advocacy group Environmental
Defense.
-
- Environmental groups are now considering suing the EPA
to force the regulation of greenhouse gases.
-
- The Bush administration appears to be guided by a leaked
memo by the political consultant Frank Luntz, which advised: "Should
the public believe that the scientific issues are settled, their views
about global warming will change accordingly. Therefore, you need to make
the lack of scientific certainty a primary issue in the debate."

- This is one item that, unlike anything else, I will agree
upon with the Bush Administration. How can these environmentalists possibly
believe that commercial carbon dioxide gas emissions are affecting (or
have the potential to affect) the global climate? Has chemtrail fallout
so eroded the average person's intellect that nobody bothers to consider
how every living thing on this planet is continuously exhaling carbon dioxide
24 hours per day?
-
- With 6 billion humans -- and countless trillions of animals,
ranging in lung capacity from elephants to gnats -- exhaling carbon dioxide
each second of every day, there surely is more biologically-produced carbon
dioxide being pumped into the atmosphere per second than all of the world's
commercial emitters could ever produce in a month.
-
- There is a word which describes what the environmentalists
are doing here. "Sophistry." Sophistry is defined as "a
deliberately invalid argument displaying ingenuity in reasoning with the
hope of deceiving someone; reasoning sound in appearance only." Literally,
something that appears sensical superficially, but which is actually a
lie.

by fallacies which gratify their passions. Many persons have obscured and
confounded the nature of things by their wretched sophistry; though an
act be never so sinful, they will strip it of its guilt."

- The sophistry being played out here is not from the environmentalists,
but by the anonymous idiot who does not want to hear from his constituent
humans regarding his fallacious assumptions being presented here.

- In the correct proportion of CO2 and Oxygen production
there is, of course, no pollution. However, the trees of the world's rain
forests and the remaining trees and plants on the planet are not able to
absorb and convert the massive CO2 that is disproportionately being produced.
This is also coupled by the many blights that are affecting the forests
and plants of the earth with a very devastating effect of them trying to
survive more than they are able to provide oxygen. This is a chilling
reality that Anonymous is not paying attention to, as he strives to make
people believe what he wants them to believe.
-
- And leave us not forget the Monsters of Monsanto and
their Genetically Modified crops that are killing the good bacterium of
the dirt they grow in, rendering the dirt useless for all plants except
for the SuperWeeds that are now thriving. So that ultimately the earth
will have more dead dirt than healthy dirt.
-
- So lets see how this works: genetically modified crops
kill the dirt. Nothing can grow there. Forest fires often set intentionally
by man, destroy forests and trees and plants faster than they can grow
to provide more oxygen. Elms, pines and oaks around the world are being
killed by blights that are probably from some lab, that we will not know
about because of the high rate of "suicide" among the many biologists
who work on these things.
-
- Many trees of Europe and America, and in South America
and even Indonesia have been destroyed by fire faster than the trees can
grow and provide oxygen. There are less trees now and more CO2. Therefore
there is not the correct mathematical proportion for absorption. when
the CO2 gets worse, the oxygen will get less.
-
- Therefore, you will have pollution that causes global
warming. But then Mr. Anonymous does not wish to hear any of this. What
a hoot. And how sad that so many people who read what he writes will believe
him and not what they KNOW to be true. Nobody is doing the math.

- No brainer, here.
