Cap and trade, along with all the various local..(EPA and it variants around the world) justify making law to take away our freedoms based on fraudulent data. From the car you drive to the light bulb you use. EPA has announced regulations designed to deal with the non-existant problem. Centralizing Power, be it EU or UN, is the goal. When the core numbers are fraudulent, and there is no question they are, all the subsequent data generated from them, even by innocent, legitimate researchers, is going to be wrong. No need for a far reaching conspiracy, when the foundation is bad the building will collapse. It has every appearance of beginning to implode. Even Monboit is shaken by this, and his fervent, belief is where the term Moonbat came from While I have had my doubts about the conclusion all along, I didn't think we were being outright lied to. There were questions that needed answering and no one coming forward to answer them. I couldn't imagine why. I am sorry to admit that for me, and many others, the credibility of "science" has taken a serious hit, especially science that doesn't result in something that can be held, such as my earlier example of plastics. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Taking that to things I can observe. SF Bay stunk in the 70's I couldn't imagine anyone enjoying water sports on the bay then. Now the water is clearer, no bad smell, it seems the pollution controls have worked pretty well, not to mention run off (silt) from the hydraulic mining in the Sierras from the late 1800 has apparently run out. So now we have two factions of enviornmentalists at odds with each other. Those that support the relatively recent ecosystem that depended on the silt, and those that want to restore the estuaries to what they think it was prior to the hydraulic mining. Completely different ecosystems. And an ecosystem in transition as a result of our activities not related to GW, though some have made the attempt. The stink was in part sewage, treated or not, that cities dumped in the bay along with household garbage. Since that has stopped it is interesting to note that things on the shoreline have changed. It does seem there are more shorebirds poking around in the mud, but there used to be more small crabs to be seen sunning themselves on the rip rap. A neighbor at the marina tells me that even a few years ago there would be thousands of fingerlings to be seen from the docks, but they are not here now. Maybe its the cleaner water, can mean less food which equals less populations, or maybe its the shorebirds eating them all, there are a lot of them. The birds were near extinction because of our hunting them for their feathers, in the case of the egrets, more birds, eat more fish, same argument with seals and salmon. Not hard to imagine fish populations suffering from less food and more predation, even if we aren't over fishing. This study does not need the underpinnings of GW to be worthwhile. ------------------------------------------------------- As I have previously pointed out, everything under the sun is caused by GW, yesterday it was war in Africa. for your memories http://www.numberwatch.co.uk/warmlist.htm unfortunately, the owner hasn't updated since July 08. Take some unknown, explain how things happen, and have an open debate and I will be happy to listen. Tie it into GW and I couldn't care less. It is based on a lie.. Thanks, Paul Hayward, for a clearer explanation of how government money is tainted. Mike San Rafael observing my local conditions for 56 years, and it is getting cooler where I live. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
