Do you quit       your job when it 30 miles to the job site?                            >> they may be popular for short trips.....The Marxist impulse in the       >> Democrats has them trying to make those golf carts every thing to       >> everyone as Communism tries to force "the one size fits all" on all       >> people.       >       > Nobody's forcing anyone as you suggest. It's choice.              And yet Democrats offer government subsidies for them which in turn will       drive up costs for other gas cars as it increases competition with the       FAKE price created by the subsidy.       >       >>       >> That never works.       >>       >> Like solar and wind... that Marxist-Democrats try to make into a one       >> size fits all, but the truth is that in the city the grid is probably       >> more efficient, while out in the country the better idea is probably the       >> personal solar/wind and personal well/septic rather than trying to lay       >> electric and sewer/water lines over large areas of low population, the       >> same with communications.       >       > Again you're tilting this as some phoney ideology.              And that's what it is.              The Church of the Holy Solar Energy God.              >       > Well guess what: climate change is real and it affects everyone the       > same. We need, desperately, to reduce carbon output.              And yet there is still no proof of any of that.... no proof that HUMAN       produced Carbon is at fault of causing any Climate change. And no proof       that the Climate is changing due to CO2.              It can be pointed out that CO2 was higher PPM before and the planet       didn't burn to cinder.                            The earth is tilting more and causing unknown problems.                     The scientists and their modeling say it's the ice melting that's       causing it but, I say it's more likely that since the tilt shifts all       the time that it's the physical shifting of tilt that changes the sun       light on the ice that causes it to melt and build back on the darker       side which would create a greater wobble which I've also read was       getting worse....              In short you have to ask, is it the chicken or the egg, the same as the       famous hockey stick temperatures, did the temperature rise precede the       CO2 or did the CO2 precede the temperature rise.              It looks like the tilt of the earth on its axis may be causing the ice       to melt and temperatures to "change" NOT rise. The tilt would cause the       ice to move which creates more wobble and that tilt creates regional       temperature change as the sun is no longer a constant on the polar       regions making the sun more intense and shifting the suns intensity on       the equatorial regions as well to a lesser degree. Causing higher heat       in summer in some places and lower temp/colder winters in places.                     The *chicken or the egg* , but either way it's NOT GLOBAL and it's NOT       warming.              Ice "moving" and cycling differently is NOT ice disappearing and       changing temperatures is NOT warming but if the pole is getting more sun       then the ice region, and maybe the magnetosphere at that angle, will NOT       reflect as much sun light and solar wind energy, and that would be       warming water in different places and melting ice faster and then the       cold spot where the sun angle is less direct will also be refreezing it       in different locations while in the dark of the polar winter.                                   >       >       >       >>       >> One size/type doesn't fit every situation.

Are you going to add a road tax on the sale of electric cars or       the electric they use or the solar panels/wind they charge with, to pay       for the roads like that Bridge on I-40 someone posted here the other day       that has a crack in it..... have the electric cars paid a tax towards       fixing that bridge?                     --       That's karma                     Censorship is a form of violence, using force to silence those you hate.              Censorship is HATE personified... Hate groups use censorship to help       force those they hate to be gagged and silenced.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
