Exactly! I saw a book promoted on The Daily Show (or Colbert? Rachel?): Idiot America: How Stupidity Became a Virtue in the Land of the Free, by Charles P. Pierce, and bought it -- I highly recommend it. It discusses attitudes like this speaker's, of people proud of their ignorance.

And this woman's voice ... my god ... at least Sarah Palin's voice is clear in tone. This woman sounds like fingernails on the blackboard.

I DO believe that you are dumb enough to believe anything.

Firstly, the atmosphere was likely different in the time of the dinos (not conducive to human life), even then, no one was farming and concentrating cows. Again having to hear about the entirely fictional and ridiculous cow flatulence meters...

And about the whole "CO2 is natural, therefore AWESOME"; Water is also natural, and awesome. Until it rises up to the level of your roof. Then you've got too much.

as a nurse and CO2 is natural, but you can certainly have too much,

Water is awesome until you get too much of it in your lungs. Then it's very, very bad.

Tilelady's picture

Most people in that movement don't have their kids in school at all. I taught mine at home (for other, secular reasons) but knew many families who homeschooled to keep their kids away from the poisonous influence of the "government schools." Back when I homeschooled, families who kept having kids didn't have a NAME for themselves like "Quiverful" but they did have magazines, newsletters, etc. They are intent on having MORE children than non-fundamentalists as a way to take over the world. That is really true; I lived amongst them; my children attended a co-op with these families. My grown children are establishing their careers or are still in college, while their old homeschooling peers are already cranking out the babies.

Ugh, that attitude disgusts me. Yeah, we were given dominion, but they forget that what ever God gives to a person, said person is supposed to be a steward of it, meaning to take care of it as best as possible. Christians are not supposed to rape and pillage the earth. Not only is it being a bad steward, but it also disregards the human suffering that will take place as a result of being a bad steward.

Sometime I am ashamed to be associated with Christianity because of these people.

I never understood why Christian fundies go on and on about abortion, since God commands his followers to smash infants against the rocks several times in the Old Testament . . . is that "Pro-Life?" Taking babies and hurling their heads against boulders? IMHO, Christians should just shut up about what God thinks about babies at any stage.

Global Warming....Global Warming....Global Warming....

What do I think?

Well, I am hardly an expert in this matter so I need to refrain from making any conclusive statement over this issue.....

I do think that there are significant environmental issues to be discussed. For instance, dropping bombs and white phosphorous does GREAT DAMAGE to the planet and the environment. For example, U.S.-led bombs in Iraq has led to the pollution and environmental degradation of the Tigris River. Spills at nuclear sites also does not improve the environment but adds to its degradation.....

Conclusive statements that "global warming does not exist" by right wingers is to be expected. Don't be alarmed, though, because most right wingers enjoy jerking their knees up to their chins....

Alexdem's picture

The environmental effects of war is nowhere NEAR the threat posed by global warming. And a global threat is never comparable to local ones, regardless.

Add to that you're simply wrong. Explosives are often toxic, but not after they've detonated. It's inherent to their nature- Explosives are unstable, chemically reactive compounds. The products of the explosion are stable and relatively inert. White phosphorus burns to eventually produce harmless phosphoric acid. You release more phosphorus into nature through your use of a couple boxes of laundry detergent than a bomb does.

The main ecological problem posed by war doesn't come from the munitions themselves, it comes from debris and fall-out caused by the things they destroy. Sewage treatment plants, for instance.

WizardLeft1's picture

Weapons kill and destroy....Life....Human life and the Natural environment...Sorry.....And your personal attacks are quite "flattering" but something I expect on blogs such as this one from people with nothing better to do and who cannot see the forest through the trees......Weapons like the ones used in Iraq did destroy the Iraqi environment and infrastructure, much to your dismay....you're the one grasping at straws....here.

I am sorry, but, I disagree with you. Weapons are very sophisticated these days and many weapons carry nuclear weapons ingredients within it. So, I am not sure I can agree with you here.

When bombs strike, for example pipelines, it causes spills of oil which pollute the Tigris. To say that the release of bombs and other weapons do not adversely harm the environment or totally destroy life....well....you get it.....

Be argumentative with someone else cause I am not here to get into pissing contests....

As a matter of fact I am tired of the troublemakers on blogs like this, which includes yourself....

You know what I am addressing here, but you choose to be a jerk. Ask the people of Japan what the Atom Bombs did to their country, people and environment....

Ever hear of bunker busters? You think those nuclear weapons have ZERO IMPOACT on Environmental degradation?

Going by your musings, dropping bombs is no different than the release of laundry detergent? Okay....whatever...Are you a scientist? Please, already.....

Andy K's picture

say that none of these things are bad? Or that any of them are good?

Alexdem clearly agreed with much of what you were saying. Reread:

The main ecological problem posed by war doesn't come from the munitions themselves, it comes from debris and fall-out caused by the things they destroy. Sewage treatment plants, for instance.

And then Alexdem simply refuted the point you brought up about white phosporous, his (or her) point being that seemingly innocuous chemicals like those in laundry detergent do much more damage to the global enviroment in the long term than does white phosphorous, damage that threatens the existence of ours and many other species.

The fact that you didn't mention nuclear weapons, but specified white phosphorous, is on you.

Alexdem's picture

I did not attack you personally anywhere. I said what you said was wrong.
I'm grasping at straws you say? At least I supported my statements.

> Weapons are very sophisticated these days and many weapons carry nuclear weapons ingredients within it.

You're referring to depleted uranium then? Well, first off - depleted uranium is not a nuclear weapons 'ingredient', since it's depleted. That means 'not fissile'. Which means it's not useful for a nuclear weapon by definition. There have been legitimate concerns about the use of depleted uranium in weapons, but those are centered on the chemical toxicity of uranium, not radiation damage. Conflating depleted uranium with nuclear weapons is factually inaccurate and essentially guilt-by-association. Also, those are projectile weapons - not bombs. You wrote about bombs and white phosphorus, so that's what I answered to. Don't change the subject.

> Ask the people of Japan what the Atom Bombs did to their country, people and environment....

What the hell does that have to do with anything?

> Ever hear of bunker busters? You think those nuclear weapons have ZERO IMPOACT on Environmental degradation?

So called 'bunker-buster' bombs used in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars are not nuclear weapons. And I never said any weapons had zero impact. I said they themselves have negligible impact compared to what we're producing through ordinary consumption and production. How many tons of bombs were dropped on Iraq and how many tons of landfill have we produced in that time?

> Going by your musings, dropping bombs is no different than the release of laundry detergent?

The phosphorus emissions from detergents is a major environmental concern. It leads to the eutrophication (over-fertilization) of aquatic ecosystems. And the emissions from consumer detergents is definitely a lot bigger than that from phosphorus bombs. Go google 'phosphorus detergent' and you'll find lots of info about it. (The biggest pollutant is agriculture though.)

You decided to criticize war on the grounds that it's bad for the environment. I'm saying the impact negligible and that you're wrong about many of the things you're claiming. That does not mean I defend war. It means that I think the environment is too important an issue to allow the debate to be hijacked with irrelevant nonsense like this when there are much more significant things that need dealing with.

>Are you a scientist? Please, already.....

As it so happens, yes. I'm a molecular physicist. And I've at least taken some undergraduate courses in ecology. Have you?

Is it true that all carbon to be found in organisms and fossil fuel was once CO2 in the atmosphere?

When earth was formed it was formed from atoms of iron, carbon, oxygen, etc, which came from the sun. Originally in the primitive atmosphere there was no free oxygen. It took millions/billions of years for organisms to evolve that convert CO2 into O2. Didn't some early lifeforms / fungus / plants "fix" (utilize) the carbon in the soil and/or oceans rather than get it from the atmosphere?

I suppose it doesn't matter to types like her who don't believe in evolution, but I'm curious to know if ALL the Carbon came from CO2 or some of it came from something else. Thus showing that even her "basic scientific statement" was wrong.

Alexdem's picture

> Is it true that all carbon to be found in organisms and fossil fuel was once CO2 in the atmosphere?

Undoubtedly. Carbon in just about all organisms except perhaps some bacteria ultimately comes from plant photosynthesis. Oil and coal deposits have organic origins.

Not that this is relevant - when all that carbon was in the atmosphere humans weren't around. While humans evolved all this carbon was underground. Then we dug it up and put it back into the atmosphere as heat-absorbing CO2.

>which came from the sun.

Actually, other suns.

> Didn't some early lifeforms / fungus / plants "fix" (utilize) the carbon in the soil and/or oceans rather than get it from the atmosphere?

Well, 'soil' itself requires decayed plant material, which is an accessible form of carbon. Otherwise it's just rock. But rock can be carbonates, so .. I don't know of any carbonate-reducing bacteria though. More the opposite.

> but I'm curious to know if ALL the Carbon came from CO2

I'd say it's probably safe to assume a lot if not most of the carbon in the earth's crust was gas at one point or another. Those white cliffs of Dover? Chalk - Calcium carbonate. Is all carbonates that was once absorbed from the atmosphere by microorganisms.

Bottom line though is that it doesn't really matter. I don't care what carbon levels and climates we've had for 'geological time' - I care about what we've had for 'human time'!

If you want proof for climate change speak to farmers who are burdened financially the hardest spending obscene amounts to stay afloat.

My proposal to aid farmers allowing to grow 2.5-7.5% marijuana maximum of total land owned (with an absolute cap on plant amount) to get them off of government guarantee's and subsidies. Along with the remaining 90-95% required being food products. Which would prevent monopolies like Phillip Morris and company from cornering the market. I've sent my Senator's my proposal and I suggest others do the same. Doing so would prove Liberals can be conservative reducing government costs (subsidies) and providing new revenue sources which are normally not taxed.

B1941's picture

First of all...referring to anyone as a "teabagger" is abnoxious and mean spirited. Yes, this lady was shrill and not totally up on her facts - but herein lies the problem: When there are two sides to an argument and one side REFUSES TO DEBATE, then you are left with name calling and sketchy facts. Remember, science is NEVER stated as fact without rigorous debate. So what we are left with is people relying on Hollywood stars, with not much education, and a marginal thinker like Al Gore. Real scientists declined to enter the fray when it first hit the public airways. I'm sure they thought it not worth their time...until...falsehoods and improbable computer models became the order of the day. Now, it is somewhat like catching the cow after leaving the barn door open.

Former UN IPCC Japanese scientist, Dr. Kiminori Itoh, an award-winning PhD in environmental physical chemistry says:
WARMING FEARS ARE THE WORST SCIENTIFIC SCANDAL IN HISTORY...WHEN PEOPLE COME TO KNOW WHAT THE TRUTH IS, THEY WILL FEEL DECEIVED BY SCIENCE AND SCIENTISTS.

There are thousands of additional notable Ph.D.'s who agree with Dr. Itoh. So, by making fun of this woman you demean the whole Global Warming issue. If you want to rail at something - show your disgust by protesting the lack of scientific debate. Gore has been challenged to debate several times now and to bring on his best scientists - he refuses. How can you place your trust in someone who says - like a used car salesman - "just trust me." Remember, it is Gore who stands to make millions, perhaps billions if Cap and Trade is passed. Don't you find this to be a conflict of interest? I certainly do.
