Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Women should stop admiring Ferrari owners

[LarryT (l02turner]

   Thank you Rick for that voice of sanity!  The Scientific community is 
often characterized as buying into the whole Global Warming scam - you 
probably know how the Kyoto Treaty was bastardized to make it appear 
scientists had signed off on it - so I won't repeat that story unless 
someone asks -

   The frustrating part of this mess is the truth is so darned logical yet 
the talking heads on TV ignore all that and keep quoting the fringe fanatics 
who are wearing tin foil hats to keep the CIA & aliens (the outr space 
kind - not illegals) from reading their minds - the logic is,  of course, 
just as you described, ie Kansas used to be covered with ice but thanks to 
global warming that has been occuring naturally for 50k years (the latest 
cycle) that part of the US is now inhabital.  Also, when something like Mt 
Pinatabo (sp?) erupts like it did about 20 years ago, it spews so much junk 
in the air it is difficult to calculate!  Yes, cars and people add 
pollutants to the atmosphere, but unless they are concentrated into a tiny 
space (relatively) like the bowl Los Angeles sits it, it dissapates and 
becomes harmless.

   IIRC, human activity produces 3% of the greenhouse gases some propose we 
regulate - so if we cut our emissions by 50% we'd prevent 1.5% emissions!  A 
multi-trillion dollar effort that would have a 1.5% reduction!!  That 
defines ludicrous!
BTW, The balance of the greenhouse gases are produced by oceans and 
forests.  But that doesn;t seem to matter -

But if women stop drooling over Ferrari's we'd solve some part of the 
problem, if we'd only known it was so easy!!  And now we find what we knew 
all along - it's all the womens fault.    yeah, right.
You tell 'em ;-)
