Figuring Out How Much a Hybrid, Diesel, or Small Car Will Save Per Year

The sun is the major source of heat, but the level of CO2 in the
atmosphere is very different and the cause of the radical difference
in their climates. There are other differences as well

Variations in solar output have an influence on the climate, but no
more so than volcanic activity or other minor factors. At least not
recently. The idea that it was a significant contributor to present
day global warming was floated by some researchers (and waved like a
flag by conservatives) a few years ago, but has now been discredited.
The fact that solar output has dropped over the last 20 years while
the temperature on Earth has risen should put this theory to bed.

Grumpy was talking about rising temperatures on inner planets, but
other than Mars and Earth, there is no evidence of this that I can
find. Martian warming is due to albedo. There has been warming of
some outer planets (including Pluto which still hasn't heard about its
demotion), but nobody thinks this is due to variations in solar
output.

 

Do you mean Ron Paul, the right-wing Republican who pretends to be a
libertarian? Is that the Ron Paul you support?

Good. After he loses the GOP nomination; I hope that he runs as an
independent or a third-party candidate to siphon the whacko votes from
the GOP,[/QUOTE]

If he could attract all of the whacko votes, he would wouldn't lose
the GOP nomination in the first place. Fortunately or unfortunately,
his anti-war stance turns off a lot of the whackos.

I knew it was going to happen, but that hasn't diminished my enjoyment
of the right-wing GOP meltdown one bit.

I assumed the poster was volunteering to be placed in a killfile, so I
accepted the offer.

@newsfe18.lga:

I do.

 

Heh... If you look back for the past forty-five years, there were a lot
of "drunken Democrats." A lot of today's problems were birth during the
mid 1960's such as:

• The Great Society which has fostered dependence on guv'ment more than
ever. LBJ's attempt to fix his legacy

• Introducing the grand plan to remove most manufacturing from the US

• Affirmative Action - (Don't even get me started on this one)

• Dumbing down educational standards to accommodate sub standard students

• Gutting the military and continuing the Truman doctrine to not win any
wars

• And then that nasty immigraion bill/law that you mentioned

Anyone want to continue on all the damage Carter caused?

<grrrrr>

Anyone with a sick child recognizes just how mean spirited it is to
allow health insurance costs be tied to a person's "risk." Yes,
everybody shares the cost. That's called a community.

If you think the current tangled web of federal and state insurance
regulations weren't put there by the insurance companies themselves
then you haven't been following this issue. Health insurance companies
aren't the solution, they are the problem.

If not for the war in Iraq out of control health care costs would
dominate the next general election.

Stick to cars, Tegger.
