  1. 24 light travels faster than sound, that's why some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak
  2. lots of people do, they now have huka clubs to smoke at using the pipe tabacco light travels faster than sound, that's why some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak
  3. thats why i am think about doing it save me alot of money light travels faster than sound, that's why some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak

  5. im not hauling around a lot of heavy materials, i just have a lot of tools that have be carried around all the time so its not a huge work load on the truck. as for your point on warranty on a new truck vs time, money in the future is what im still trying to decide light travels faster than sound, that's why some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak
  6. engine and rear end are original light travels faster than sound, that's why some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak
  7. the mechanics of the truck are in decent shape the body is a ding scratched and dented though, but in construction you except that that will eventually happen light travels faster than sound, that's why some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak
  8. i have a 94 chevy 3/4 ton truck its a work truck. has a 410 rear end and a 454 big block. it gets 8 miles to the gallon and im driving alot. i can either replace the engine with a 350 and the rear end gears to a 373 or buy a new truck. a new truck is only going to beat to hell were as this one already is. old truck has 220k miles blue book value roughly 2k cost new truck at least 20k replacement parts 2500 light travels faster than sound, that's why some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak
  9. well i was doing other things for that very reason but, someone thought i was doing it for a different reason and used it as an excuse to say something about it. so now i do the same thing they do. light travels faster than sound, that's why some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak
  10. Quote>The comparison is accurate. >>If the only way you can make a political point is to compare someone to Hitler's regime - you've already lost the argument. >>> pathetically this is done all the time in today’s politics >Accuse political opponents of "not caring" about said crisis. Go heavy >on the emotion, light on the details. When the dust settles, the people >find themselves living under new laws which criminalize things that used to >be okay. >>>This is what happens when people follow social scientist instead of working the science through hypotheses and experimentation >>Yep, a good description of both the left and right wing's approach to political issues. "Partial birth abortion" would be a good example from the right wing. Ignore medical indications of when it's necessary to the health of the mother, and instead launch into emotional appeals to "ripping the screaming baby's skull apart with crushing force." When the dust settles, you discover your wife might die in childbirth because you can't abort a fetus that's not going to live more than a few hours outside the womb anyway. >>>You making a blanket statement about all republicans on this issue? If so your dead wrong on this point, I don’t support open access to abortion but in cases of rape or endangerment to the mothers life or serious health issues with the baby is an exception. >It is the left that is trying to suppress scientific evidence that does not >prove the theory. >>Again, that's a characteristic of both the left and right wings. The right is trying their level best to suppress any mention of global warming, because they fear that greater understanding of it will cost them elections. >>>Democrats are trying to use this position to demonize the right, they don’t care, they want you to die , big oils lying, and so on. >Furthermore, it is the left that continually beats this drum into our >heads repeatedly. When was the last time you went a month without >hearing ANYTHING at all about "global warming?" >>When's the last time you went a month without ANYTHING about how we're fighting terrorism in Iraq? Again, it's a tactic both sides use. >>> Its necessary to point out what were doing there because the left keeps trying to mislead everyone with its Oil for Blood or whatever there new slogan against the war for the week is. >Furthermore, the people they are hearing are all in agreement that G.W. IS happening . . . No one doubts that any more because they can look out their windows. When your house is sinking into the permafrost, you're not going to believe a right-winger who compares climate change scientists to Nazi liars. You're going to start listening to the scientist who has studied it instead. >>> the people trying their hardest to prove gw is man made aren’t even scientist there democrat public figures and the Hollywood sheep that blindly follow them. Using half truth data and skewing or omitting anything that doesn’t support their side. Just because the numbers they show you might be the actual numbers, when other key factors in the equation are left out you will not be get an accurate answer. Anytime some one points this out they are quick to attack the person and unwilling, or unable to debate or study the science or even consider there is another possible cause. light travels faster than sound, that's why some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak
  11. in the last 100 years temp have risen but today it is still way cooler than it has been in the past for example 2 thousand years ago it was up during the roman climate optimum and 1100 years ago during the medieval warm period. going back farther you have the holocene climate optimum when it was even warmer then. and yet if you look at the co2 levels for those times it was low but yet the temp went up dramatically and there was very little Anthropogenic co2 emissions compared to todays.As for the science the IPCC uses, on June 22, 2006, a committee of the National Academy of Sciences presented the results of its directed study of the science behind the infamous “hockey stick.” Published by Michael Mann and colleagues, the hockey stick study — which statistically interpreted tree ring data as demonstrating unprecedented current warming relative to the past 1,000 years — failed to capture and denied the existence of the “medieval climate optimum,” a warming event beginning 1,100 years ago. The hockey stick was the basis for the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s statement that “there is discernible human impact on climate.” light travels faster than sound, that's why some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak

  13. Quote>they don't make hybrid work trucks GM has two hybrid pickups out. They also can use the hybrid system to generate AC power, so you don't need a separate generator at the worksite. ok, last time i was truck shopping they didn't have any but they are 15 k more than a regular truck. > I would like to see fusion using helium3 more aggressively pursued That would be great, but that's pretty far out in the future as a power source.> if people would get off there asses and quit bickering about the ethics of certain things it would be possible alot sooner sense they already have a small working fusion generator. light travels faster than sound, that's why some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak

  15. Quote>WHAT DO YOU THINK I CAN DO TO CHANGE IT? Individually we can: Buy more efficient cars. You can't get a 100mpg car yet but you can get a 45mpg one. > some people cant have cars and they don't make hybrid work trucks Use things other than cars more often. Bikes, trains, buses etc generally use a lot less oil than your typical car. >big cities offer some of these but not all can use them, to save money i would gladly use the light rail out here but untill they extended it to every new house im building it wont be possible. Buy food locally. Supports local farmers and saves on all the fuel used to ship the food to you. Better yet, find an organic farm that does not use natural gas based fertilizers. > if they could produce enough food locally their would not be a need to transport food in on average a farm produces enough food for 187 people Make your house more efficient. Modern refrigerators, A/C units, washing machines, dishwashers etc are way more efficient than those of even 10 years ago, and you can specifically choose ones that are more efficient. Most of them have EER (energy efficiency ratings.) > talking a lot of money that most cant afford, i want a new ac but at 6k i cant afford it( mines 20yrs old) Get rid of phantom loads, like those cube power supplies for computer periperals. Put them on an extra powerstrip and turn them all off when not in use. Switch from incandescent to CF lightbulbs. Put in some of those small skylights so you don't need to run lights during the day. Insulate the hell out of your walls and attic, and insulate all your pipes. done to the extreme Switch to natural gas or propane for heating if possible; avoid electric or oil heat. Natural gas releases much less CO2 when burned. >gas isnt available everywhere Recycle plastics, glass cardboard and aluminum. It takes between 20% and 95% less energy to recycle those things than to make them new. city ordinance If you have the money, invest in solar hot water/solar electric. You can easily reduce your house's power draw to zero (average.) If everyone did this we could shut down every single coal fired power plant in the US. As a nation we can: >again lots of money Aggressively pursue more efficient vehicles, and alternate fuels for those vehicles (including electric.) Push nuclear energy over coal, and provide incentives for nuclear power plant construction. > I would like to see fusion using helium3 more aggressively pursued Switch our military from oil based to another fuel. This is actually a national security issue, not just an environmental one. Our military should not rely on our potential enemies for fuel. Continue to fund research into solar generation technology. > lots of it going on Pursue carbon sequestration technologies (a stopgap solution, but one that might work well for the short term.) Pursue land use strategies that retain forests/vegetated areas, like greenbelt zoning in suburbs. >get rid of the hoa's and this would be easier light travels faster than sound, that's why some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak

  18. Quote>How about clarifying what you mean. Allow me.

  20. Quote>MAYBE BUT IF WE STOPPED ALL MAN MADE CO2 EMISSIONS TODAY > IT WOULD STILL INCREASE BECAUSE NATURE MAKES UP 96% OF TOTAL >C02 EMITTED Nope. Nature does indeed emit CO2; it also absorbs it. That's why CO2 levels stay about the same over medium time frames without our interference. If we emit more than the environment can absorb (which we are doing now) CO2 levels climb. That's why we've gone from 280ppm to almost 400ppm. That's basic science; really can't argue with it. You could do the experiments yourself with a pretty simple chemistry set. >see chart below and then explain the stays the same theory again? if co2 makes so much of a difference then why is it cooler today then it was 2k years ago and 500 years ago? >THOUGH IT IS A GREENHOUSE GAS ITS OVERALL CONCENTRATION >AND OVERALL EFFECT ON TEMP IS SO MINIMAL YOU COULD TRIPLE IT OR >COMPLETELY REMOVE IT AND HAVE LITTLE EFFECT EITHER WAY That's nonsense. Take a look at the attached graph showing absorption spectra. Now note the bands at 4.5uM and 10.8uM. All CO2! That's provable in a lab, and remains true NO MATTER HOW MANY WORDS YOU CAPITALIZE. > sorry i guess I'll just have to start doing this then>>>>>>> If we removed all the CO2, we'd lose 12% of our greenhouse effect, or a change of about 40 watts in the heat budget. By comparison, all this heating we're seeing now is the result of a less then 2 watt change in the heat budget. That means it would have a huge effect.> see graph previously attached co2 makes up 3 % of the green house gases in the atmosphere >I DONT BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE AN EFFECT ON WEATHER AT ALL. Think Las Vegas has changed the weather in the area surrounding it? Think cities retain heat at night? Ever flown over an asphalt road under canopy? Think irrigating thousands of acres of desert might just change the way water is transmitted through the atmosphere?> that is a different subject as asphalt and crops are not greenhouse gases. Right after 9/11, all the planes in the US were grounded. No contrails, no extra water vapor at 30,000 feet, no nucleation particles. Result? Temperature swings increased by 2 degrees F. And that's just contrails; just a small part of our effect on the environment.> well planes were flying yesterday and flying today but the temp changed by 6 degrees F. so what happened between then and now to cause that. light travels faster than sound, that's why some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak
  21. Quote>YES BUT ITS PART OF A CYCLE, IT COOLS AND WARMS AND COOLS AND >WARMS OVER AND OVER Right. We're just forcing that to happen much faster and sooner than it has ever happened before. THIS IS WHERE WE DISAGREE. >MAN HAS ONLY INCREASED IT BY 4 % ACCORDING TO MOST SCIENTIST >ON BOTH SIDES. Nope. CO2 has climbed from 280ppm to 393ppm over the past 160 years; indeed, CO2 levels are the highest they have been in 650,000 years. MAYBE BUT IF WE STOPPED ALL MAN MADE CO2 EMISSIONS TODAY IT WOULD STILL INCREASE BECAUSE NATURE MAKES UP 96% OF TOTAL C02 EMITTED >CO2 IS NOT THE PRIMARY ITS A SMALL SECONDARY GAS SEE ATTACHMENT ?? Do you mean that it's only one of the many greenhouse gases? If so, that is correct, and that is the reason that the temperature is rising at only .3F per decade.NO I MEAN ITS INSIGNIFICANT , THOUGH IT IS A GREENHOUSE GAS ITS OVERALL CONCENTRATION AND OVERALL EFFECT ON TEMP IS SO MINIMAL YOU COULD TRIPLE IT OR COMPLETELY REMOVE IT AND HAVE LITTLE EFFECT EITHER WAY >ADAPTION IS WHAT EVERYTHING THAT HAS SURVIVED THROUGH >THE CHANGES HAS HAD TO DO. That is correct. In the past, temperature changes of this magnitude have been accompanied by mass extinctions; up to 90% of the animals and plants on the planet have died. Will that happen this time? We won't know until it happens. And once again, the animals and plants that survive will be the ones that adapt. The question is - is causing such an extinction a good idea? I DONT BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE AN EFFECT ON WEATHER AT ALL. WHEN AN ICE AGE HAPPENS AGAIN IT WILL BE BECAUSE OF THE CYCLES. NOT BECAUSE OF MAN. light travels faster than sound, that's why some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak
  22. Please show us the poll of "most scientists" that reaches this conclusion. It is certainly NOT the conclusion of the IPCC. heres a few if you want more try actually looking them up Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center IEA Greenhouse Gas R&D Programme, Stoke Orchard, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, GL52 7RZ, United Kingdom.

  23. Quote>To the first point I say OK, the climate is warming/changing. YES BUT ITS PART OF A CYCLE, IT COOLS AND WARMS AND COOLS AND WARMS OVER AND OVER >To the second point? Well man has very little if anything to do with it . . . We have increased CO2 concentrations in our atmosphere by 50%, and it is one of the primary greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. We are now seeing the results of that change. MAN HAS ONLY INCREASED IT BY 4 % ACCORDING TO MOST SCIENTIST ON BOTH SIDES. CO2 IS NOT THE PRIMARY ITS A SMALL SECONDARY GAS SEE ATTACHMENT >so what we should be talking here is adapting to the climate change.

  24. SO... I have to ask.. who is going to pay for your medical care should you have a landing accident..bust yourself up....femur.. or something else I hope you have some kind of car insurance at least that somewhat covers you in case of a car accident. How about if you fall down the stairs of your apartment... and break your neck... requiring long term care?? Life has an interesting way of stepping up and slapping...even the young and healthy.... right in the kisser. like i said if something happens to me and medical care is required i will pay the bill. as for car insurance i have full coverage but car insurance is a must unless one wants to chance getting caught by the cops without it. sense i own my own home i dont have to chance the stairs of an apt. but if for some reason i needed long term care i would find a way to deal with it, as i do have options on ways to come up with the money. light travels faster than sound, that's why some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak
