Sorry, if it comes across that way. Agree with your beer idea. Definitely Chalk this one up for TAWL.
Cheers
Let's keep biking.

So, is Jupiter's Global Warming man made or from dust? How about the other planets and some of their moons?

When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars

Let's keep biking.

This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius
The age of Aquarius
Aquarius! Aquarius!



That must be it, there was recently a major alignment! It is now the age of Aquarius.

After all this, I am going out to look for a used Yugo. Oh wait the states say they can not survive with less gas taxes. WSJ yesterday. Going to put GPS in everycar and charge you by the mile.

China is going to do cloud seeding to wash away all the pollution before thier Olympics. Hymalian glaciers are expanding and that is bad, not enough run off for the farmers - famine around the corner. Punxsutawney Phil is a real weather forecaster. It was 20f below average yesterday.

Thanks Blazingpedals;

I knew someone could come up with it!

Albedo? I'm familier with libido!...my wife suffers from the lack there of.
It's why I ride till I'm numb.....

The ironic thing is that I do most of the things that we are now being told to do to "save the planet" from global warming, but I also believe that 99% of the global warming "reporting" is total hogwash. My main motivation is personal health and saving money. The list includes 100% Energy Star appliances, change-out of higher-usage bulbs to CFL, water usage reduction, reduction of electricity usage and natural gas usage, planting additional trees, etc. And in general, I am what I would call a conservationist (in the old-school sense). So in actual practice I am doing far more than Algore (all one word).

(I will admit, however, that I am NOT getting on the 1 square of toilet paper bandwagon - I view this is an impossibility. To quote a Sheryl Crow song, "A change (of underpants) will do you good - a change will do you good.")

The other thing that annoys me is when clean air (i.e., reduction of air pollution such as unburnt hydrocarbons, particulates, ammonias, carbon MONoxide, etc.) initiatives or motivations (which I am fairly supportive of) get muddled together with CO2 reduction, or when CO2 is categorized as a pollutant.

One calculation that I would like to see is how much CO2 is produced by human breathing. Less than an SUV in terms of CO2 production rate, of course. But the human engine is running all the time, even while sleeping. (Let alone all those pesky animals.) Perhaps recreational (i.e., non-commuting) bicycling should be restricted, since an exercising human will produce more CO2 than a resting/idle human. (I am being sarcastic about the cycling ban, in case anyone is not sure.) Don't get me started on human methane production (aka farting)...

When Al Gore went to the sentate to talk up his complete CO2 moratorium, one of the other senators (I am sorry I don't remember his name) refuted much of what Gore was pedaling. He stated that humans beings produce .2 tons of CO2 per year then asked Gore if that meant there could be no more babies born. I am trying to find the link, and I would like to know where he got his information on the CO2 we breath out. I for one don't feel like holding my breath for a year

If you can remember these words- You weren't there.

I was there, but without the drugs. Some of us loved the music and hated the drug scene.
