The earth is in danger. So why do New York City liberals insist on destroying our planet?
(NEW YORK) —New York City produces nearly 1 percent of the nation’s greenhouse gas emissions — an amount that puts it on par with Ireland or Portugal — according to a city study.
…The study found that the buildings, subways, buses, cars and decomposition of waste in America’s most populous city produced a net emission of 58.3 million metric tons of greenhouse gases in 2005. The report said the city’s emissions “are currently as much as those of Ireland or Portugal.” ~time.com
So when can we expect those who live in New York to put their money where their mouth is? I expect that by this time next year NY will look like Bejing, with bicycles everywhere. That New Yorkers will stop using their electrical appliances and do without their water heaters and air conditioners, etc. And most importantly, liberals will forego their limosuines and walk!
After all we have less than ten years left before the irreversible apocolypse.
Where’s the guilt? I demand an apology.
Unless of course the perveyors of global warming propaganda were to admit that perhaps the variable input of the sun might have something to do with climate change. I find it absolutely bizarre that global warming advocates completely refute any such link whatsoever. It just shows that the issue is more politics than science.
Notice a key phrase in this article titled, “Sunspot activity impacts on crop success.”
Periods of low sunspot activity corresponded to peaks in the price of wheat, indicating a lower crop yield. This backs the idea that the solar cycle affects climate and crop yields on Earth, possibly by changing levels of cloud cover.
Now the team has done a similar analysis for wheat prices in the US during the 20th century. They did not expect to see a sunspot connection due to modern technologies that make crops more robust in unfavourable weather, globalised markets and massive economic disruption during two world wars.
But surprisingly, they did find a link between numbers of sunspots and the price of wheat. ~newscientist.com
Sunspots influencing levels of cloud cover? Say it aint so. Surely capitalist and or industrial activity creates these sunspots, no?
What is the consensus?
Another trend scientists have picked up on appears to span several centuries. Late 17th century astronomers observed that no sunspots existed on the Sun’s surface during the time period from 1650 to 1715 AD. This lack of solar activity, which some scientists attribute to a low point in a multiple-century-long cycle, may have been partly responsible for the Little Ice Age in Europe. During this period, winters in Europe were much longer and colder than they are today. Modern scientists believe that since this minimum in solar energy output, there has been a slow increase in the overall sunspots and solar energy throughout each subsequent 11-year cycle.
