From: Global warming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
resulting from human activities such as deforestation and burning of fossil fuels. This finding is recognized by the national science academies of all the major industrialized countries and is not disputed by any scientific body of national or international standing.

Remember awhile back when I said I had sent in a suggestion for a news story to my local tv station? They called me today and said they'll be going to a couple of truckstops tomorrow to interview drivers about the anti-idling laws. I had forgotten all about it, honestly.
Truck Drivers Work to Stay Cool on Roads - WBOY-TV - WBOY.com They even got the idling for WV wrong:
Truckers are usually only allowed to idle for 15 minutes in a one hour period. If drivers idle longer they can face fines of up to $300 in West Virginia.

getting some shade :lol:
 I ain't no WUSS. I'm BRAVE enough... But, I ain't STOOPID enough to be sitting under that piece of equipment unless "I" had done a full PTI!!! This is Hydraulics... not Air Pressure (Pneumatics) but a leaky SEAL would have the same affect in this situation. Notice, though.... that the sun is BEHIND the photographer. That means (as is shown in the picture,) that there is SHADE on the "far side" of the EQUIPMENT... and that is where "I" would be sitting! Only Republicans would sit UNDER something like that! [insert caption here] :rofl: I GUESS you meant for this SECOND picture ... not the first.  1) WHAT do I have to DO to make you LOVE me??? 2) WHERE did he say to insert my quarters??? 3) Global Warming my ARSE!... Things are just FINE! 4) This is NEW YORK, Honey.... we can get MARRIED now! The PLANET is getting warmer... FASTER than can be explained by "cyclical change" scientists! Minnesota ... and MOST "Great Lake" states... are experiencing high temps AND Heat INDECES that they are not used to! Michigan "proper" ... AND the YOOPERS... are seeing the same thing. They just don't "understand it." :lol: :roll::roll::roll::roll:

Hobo, if you're just poking a little fun at Yoopers then hold on a sec, does today end in a y? Ok it's the right day for that. If you're razzing a particular driver from Michigan, then does today end in a y? It's the right day for that too.
I can't be the first one to express fatigue about the 'round and 'round nature that our little debates have. If you argue global warming by talking up how hot it is then you're inviting knuckleheads to return the favor next winter and nothing at all gets settled. In fact nothing gets settled anyway because GMan will spout the party line and Ford will engage in obfuscation to cloud the issue. I asked if anyone would like to dispute the claim made on Wikipedia that no major scientific group disputes climate change and noone has stepped up so I guess we're all in agreement for once. :moon:

I had my own little encounter with global warming this weekend! Came home Sat night and found my A/C had crapped out! Felt like 100+ in here! Landlord got me fixed up today tho. It feels like an igloo in here tonight. :clap:
Asking (or forcing) a trucker to try to get his rest in a metal box with no A/C for 10 hours is just totally inhumane! They bi*ch about safety "regulations" and then they expect us to be able to drive after 10 hours in a sauna??

Down here where it has been sortuv WARM the last few weeks..... Don is coming to town on Saturday, bringing with him rain....and a little more wind than is usual for these parts.
 I done told the locals to just give me some time. In 2005 I moved to Orange TX....and spent about 3 days a week either in New Orleans ....or traveling through new Orleans, picking up stuff at plants along I-10 for my employer at that time. :lol: New Orleans got Katrina.....Orange got Rita. Corpus Christi........looks like they are getting a little "blowhard" named Don. :thumbsup:It might not bust up this drought they are having.......but it is sure as heck gonna provide some FRAC water for the Oil Companies.......Who need it.

But your first tipoff should have been that it's a Forbes article, hardly impartial. Your second tipoff should have been the use of the word "alarmist" appearing once in the title and 13 times in the article. Your third tipoff should have been the blurb at the bottom "James Taylor is senior fellow for environment policy at The Heartland Institute...". Points for an honest effort though. :thumbsup:

I'd rather believe some of the smartest people on this planet in NASA than some scientist who works in a lab and has no idea which way is up or down. Those same scientists have claimed in the past that Freon is hurting our atmosphere. Freon is heavier than air dingo's therefore it doesn't go up into our atmosphere. We can trace how the planet has changed back to a point before the dinosaurs roamed freely that shows everything works in cycles and we aren't doing anything to affect it either way yet we all need to go out and buy Carbon Credits...........why does Al Gore hate humans, is it because he's really a robot? He claims we all need to do our part because we are all at fault for Global Warming, guess he excluded himself from being at fault. He still drives non-green vehicles, he lives in a very non-green house. He lives his life as if it's not real..............and some people still believe him?
