DAD-WI – Global “Warming” breakout part 4

by @ 16:43 on February 9, 2008. Filed under Defending the American Dream.

Briefly from Steve Lonegan, New Jersey is looking at selling off their toll roads to buy up all the power-generating utilities in NJ. Brother.

On to questions (same rules as last time; it’s all paraphrased, questions are in italics, answers are in plain text, my comments are in parentheses):

Q 1 – How can we win with logic against people who only appeal to emotion? Phil – Focus on the cost. Look at what happened to Algore’s BTU tax.

Q 2 – What do we do about the brainwashing? Jim – Contact the school board that tries to cram this down the skulls full of mush to get the other side out. Points out that a British court said that Algore’s movie is a bunch of bunk.

Q 3 – Can the Legislature intervene in stuff like the court-ordered efficiency drop at the Oak Creek power plant? Jim – We would have to write specific legislation.

Q 4 – What about breathing? Phil – Many of the Gorebal Warming acolytes are also population cullers.

Q 5 – What about the claim that CO2 is a product of Gorebal Warming, not the other way around? Jim – That would make thermodynamic sense. We don’t have the accurate historical data. An example was the “cooling” of the 1960s was the move of thermometers from the downtown areas to the airports. Now, since the cities have expanded around the airports where the airports had once been surrounded by fields, the well-documented heat-island effect is once again taking effect.

Q 6 – Are there venues where there is a true debate? Paul – They’ve generally demurred. Jim – I’ve been in a few debates. Follow-up; it’s not exactly visible Paul – They want to shut everybody up. Phil – We’re working on it.

Q 7 – Further follow-up; the few formal debates that have been graded have been graded as a loss for the Gorebal Warming acolytes. Has there been a real study on how carbon-efficient corn-a-hole is? Jim – I haven’t seen it. Phil – It’s not exactly carbon-neutral as the acolytes claim.

Q 8 – Isn’t this a serious tax increase? Phil -Yep. The only reason the study McCain was touting that said that there would be a slight improvement is that it is sold as reducing other taxes. That isn’t exactly happening, as every penny is going to be spent. Jim – Cap-and-trade doesn’t work. Phil – Buy your carbon credits from Russia because their economy collapsed.

And we’re out. I will not, repeat, not be blogging the gathering, which I think I’m already late for.
