Forget about stupidity on both sides, you people always pick a punching bag who can't defend their position to make your own dumb viewpoint seem like the right one.

http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/01/co2_fairytales_in_global_warmi.html

CO2 is a fundamental building block of life, and current levels are NOWHERE NEAR where they have been in the past. Moreover, the correlation of CO2 and Earth temperature is deeply flawed. It's far more likely that temperatures rise and fall in the short term as a result of solar cycles or some other phenomena, and that increased CO2 levels are a corresponding RESULT of temperature change rather than the cause. That's what gives the idiots that nice correlating graph where they can claim the opposite. A more detailed look at ice core graphs show us that temperature changes occur BEFORE changes in CO2 levels. The global warming crowd has it completely reversed that CO2 is driving temperature.

Moreover, the last century's warming trend has been a mere .8 celsius, well within natural expectations given the last 1000 years. I suppose the vikings were also somehow responsible for the even larger climactic swing in temperature known as the Little Ice Age from 1000 to 1200 AD? From 1940 to 1970, there was a cooling trend which led to a global cooling scare. We were all supposed to be frozen in ice by now.

The idea that mankind is capable of affecting earth's temperature is just laughable. If it was even possible to have globally banned coal and oil the last 200 years, the only thing you'd have accomplished is a complete eradication of 200 years of human progress towards cleaner, more efficient technologies like nuclear (which you luddites have also blocked while countries like China and France kick our freaking asses).

http://www.dailytech.com/Chinas+Nuclear+Power+Efforts+Surge+Ahead/article14911.htm

So what exactly are we supposed to do? We can't do nuclear because you boneheads don't want to recycle or store the voluminously small captured waste, you'd rather burn your fuel and disperse it into the atmosphere than put something in a single mountain for a thousand years until we jettison it into the sun. You herald wind power, which takes massive amounts of steel, land, and maintenance for relatively little power output. You'd have to cover an area the size of Montana with windmills just to meet TODAY'S domestic power demands. That's how bloody inefficient it is relative to nuclear, and unless you magically discover a magical material like steel that is way cheaper and 1% as heavy, it's going to hit a wall pretty soon. Wind is fine for the wind belt and rural areas in Iowa, solar is fine for the desert in Arizona. But to say that wind and solar can themselves provide even a majority of our national need for cheap power is pure insanity. It's pure insanity, and anyone who's looked at the numbers knows it.

You of course understand the presence of the word "wind" in "wind farm"? As in, when there's wind, they "farm" it.

But anyway.. how is that new style friendlier to birds? It probably has more area in which to hit a bird, and if the bird goes through one side of the turbine it then has to go through the other side.

Weird you have lazy moths where you live lol. Actually they're probably all like that I just never pay attention to any of them. At first I thought you named it Seymour butts ha. Isn't that a porno dude? Anyways Walmart's the only place you could go to buy prenatal vitamins and end up leaving with a venus flytrap ha.

I tried and failed at the bonsai thing.. no patience and a black thumb, so I figured a carnivorous plant would appreciate me more. I read I shouldn't have fed it moths, incidentally, LOL. I was catching them with tweezers while they dozed by the lamp..

I named the plant Seymour because that plant made his life hell in Little Shop of Horrors.

Got the flytrap at Walmart, of all freaking places.. Went in to buy prenatal vitamins, left with a flesh-eating plant. Hrm, gotta work on my motherly priorities....... .....heh

Oh what I want one! I'm not a plant person but I've always wanted a venus flytrap or a bonzai tree. But yah did you name it? I don't think I've ever caught a moth before ha, you must be lightening fast!

It's going! Bought a venus flytrap plant and he's eating all the moths I've been catching. YEY!
