Alex Jones?

 

Seriously?

 

He's a conspiricy theorist, the same guy that said the government was building FEMA camps to put people in.

 

wow

you can't take everything he says as the Bible, but he does have some interesting points!

I don't ever really comment anymore on the site(especially in poliotics).I an understand why people hate the receipt. Really, it is immoral, but the people spending it obviously do no not feel that way. They feel as if the world will just be given to them. And to be honest, I felt the same way not long ago. I was charged and convicted of 3 felonies 3 years ago, which i find personally find sort of ridiculous as it was only marijuana and a very small amount of mushrooms but I realized  I had screwed up and accepted it. And honestly I do not feel it was fair at all.  But I have accepted it. Sure, I can't get a job outside of a restaurant for the time being, but eventuallyI will be able to get my record expunged(hopefully) and will be able to get a job with a career seeing as how I have a BA in Finance. But, even if not, I don't  have money currently I have too much pride to ever file for welfair money. Only if I everabsolutely needed it would I ever even think about it and then would never spend it on lobster or expensive things. 

 

My post didn't end up going where I wanted it to go but those are just my thoughts right now

I like hannity. He makes much more sense to me then anyone I've heard on the left.

yes, yes he does make more sense than the left..He is for hard work and a strong America..the left well we know what there for!

exactly what is that?

welfare, unions, pro-choice, not for marriage between a man and woman, green energy even though windmills makes heat stay to the ground more, anti-gun, a more controlled government....need I say more.

This person HAS to be someone like Jamie opening another account and pretending to be conservative just to make conservatives look stupid.  So much wrong with this quote that it CAN'T be a real person with an adult intellect who has the power of the vote in their hands.

wow, what a bunch of assholes

The left are such idiots. All they want is equality for all sexes and genders, people to be able to eat and shelter in safe environments, safe working conditions at a reasonable wage and less violence, more regulation of things that bad people take advantage of with less regulation...idiots!

I'm not that creative. :lol:

 

 

Honestly my belief is she is a young kid who likely still lives under the influence of parents and hasnt spent any time researching any of this stuff to have any kind of knowledge on it.

 

 

Either that or she is from Kentucky.

 

:ninja:

If they're not a troll we're dealing with a 13 year old who is probably homeschooled...

Oh and just to touch on the Windmill thing...

No, wind farms are not causing global warming
Posted by Brad Plumer at 04:26 PM ET, 04/30/2012
 

Scientific studies are misrepresented all the time. But now and again the distortions get particularly bad. That was the case Monday, when Fox News ran the headline, “New Research Shows Wind Farms Cause Global Warming.” A number of other media outlets did the same thing. And it’s... not true at all.

The frenzy started after Liming Zhou, a scientist at the University of Albany, published a short study in Nature Climate Change. Zhou’s team analyzed satellite data for a handful of large wind farms in west-central Texas. And he found that, between 2003 and 2011, the surface temperature in the immediate vicinity of Texas’ wind farms had heated up a fair bit, especially during the night hours, as the wind turbines pulled warmer air from the atmosphere down closer to the ground.

 

That’s interesting — if somewhat expected. Orange growers in Florida often use giant fans to protect their crops from frost, using much the same principles. But it’s not at all clear that this has global significance. As Zhou himself explained in an accompanying Q&A (pdf) about his paper: “the warming effect reported in this study is local and is small compared to the strong background year-to-year land surface temperature changes. Very likely, the wind turbines do not create a net warming of the air and instead only re-distribute the air’s heat near the surface, which is fundamentally different from the large-scale warming effect caused by increasing atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases.”

 

Read that paragraph again. Wind turbines appear to move some warm air around in a relatively small patch of Texas — a fact that might be of note to, say, nearby farmers. But that’s not the same thing as putting more carbon-dioxide into the atmosphere, which traps heat that would otherwise escape out into space and which leads to a net overall increase in the Earth’s temperature. The latter is global warming. The former is not.

 

Still, that didn’t stop news outlets and pundits from inflating Zhou’s study beyond all recognition. The Daily Mail ran the headline, “Wind farms make climate change WORSE.” That’s wrong. Zhou himself complained that the media coverage of his study has been “misleading.”

Now, to pull back a bit, there are real questions about what might happen if we massively scaled up wind farms to produce huge amounts of renewable electricity. After all, wind turbines generate power by slowing down winds and capturing their kinetic energy. Build enough wind turbines and that might have an effect on the Earth’s temperature and rainfall patterns.

 

To get a sense for what scientists know about this topic, I called Mark Jacobson, an environmental engineer at Stanford who has done a fair bit of modeling work in this area. The key thing to note is that, for now, humanity doesn’t use anywhere near enough wind power to make a big difference to global wind patterns. Jacobson’s earlier research suggested that there’s somewhere around 72 terawatts of wind power that could feasibly be harnessed worldwide. At the end of 2011, the world’s wind power generation capacity was still just 0.2 terawatts. (Human beings use about 16 terawatts of energy, all told.)

 

And scientists dispute what would happen if we did start blanketing the globe with wind turbines. One 2004 study led by the University of Calgary’s David Keith found that getting just 2 terawatts of electricity from wind could produce “non-negligible climactic change at continental scales” — including shifts in rainfall patterns. (That much wind power would not, however, change the overall temperature of the planet.) But, says Jacobson, the effects that Keith’s group modeled don’t appear to be distinguishable from random fluctuations in the Earth’s climate. “To me,” says Jacobson, “that’s a meaningless result.”

 

Jacobson himself is working on a more in-depth effort to model the effects of a very large ramp-up in wind — those results could be published later this year. He says it’s possible that a massive expansion of wind turbines over both land and sea could even cool the planet somewhat, by slowing the rate at which water evaporates from the soil and enters the atmosphere. But his study is still under review.

 

For any of these effects to be noticeable, however, the wind industry would have to be several orders of magnitude larger than it is now. As far as the present day is concerned, there’s no evidence that wind power is having a major effect on the world’s climate, while there’s plenty of evidence that the greenhouse gases we’re pumping into the air are doing quite a bit to heat the Earth.
