This whole 'global warming/climate change' thing reminds me of other things scientists have told us. First, something is good or bad for us. Time passes and some other scientist comes out with new findings that something is now good/bad for us. Sure does tend to maintain confusion. Chuck

That's the truth!!! Chuck

I thought you said 'cheap steaks'... not cheap hamburger meat. Do you know how many acres it takes to graze one cow? Once again, too many people encroaching on farm and ranch land. Me too! Going by our track record... it don't look good. We can still hope. Chuck

I think, thta right there is the problem... too many people! As for cheap steaks... have you priced beef lately? Corn is too expensive (ethynol caused that little price-hike) to feed to cattle. Most cattle I've seen are pastured in the summer months and fed grass bales in the winter. The feed-lots fatten the cattle before slaughter. They might feed some corn. I've heard that on t.v. news and right here on these very forums about cattle and their 'gas emissions'. As for water, Maybe, fewer swimming pools that folks have, mostly for looks or more folks cutting-back on lawn watering as examples. Water is just something else people have taken for granted. For an example, because big cities like Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston and etc. are running low, they are wanting what little water we have here in West Texas. We've been in a drought situation for over 13-yrs. As a result, the court battles are just beginning. All of this could've been prevented a lon time ago if, people had just thought about the future instead of just for 'today'. We've done it to ourselves and now, we're in 'panic mode'. Chuck

Well, seems like, I recall some folks saying that gasses given-off by cattle were the problem. I really blew that one! That's what... 7th. grade science? Plant life gives-off oxygen... people give-off carbon dioxide! I should be stood in a corner for that one. As long as there is a demand for beef and leather as well as fertilizer, bone meal and etc., we're going to have cattle. I know, the vegans don't like that idea. I think that a lot of folks are going off the deep end on some of this. We need some common sense about it. Mother Earth has never had this kind of pressure put on her. Chuck

I worded that wrong. It should've read; 'look to make billions'. Al Gore, for one plus some others. All of whose names I can't seem to find... but I'm looking! When I find the, I'll get back here. Chuck

I agree with you on that. We need to take care of what we have and quit being so wasteful. As someone here previously mentioned, we have too many people for 'Mother Earth' to handle. Also, blaming cattle for our problems is the silliest thing I've ever heard. The talk of all the carbon dioxide being put into the air... what doe trees and other planlife give off? I guess, I don't see a lot of sense or reason in what either side is saying. Chuck

What I mean by 'grand plan' is, a certain few using some skewed information used to scare the word population into believing in 'Global Warming' and a few, making billions of dollars as a result. Al gore being their 'poster boy' Obviously, things are fading with this plan since the name has changed. Google the name 'Maurice Strong' and follow the clues. Chuck

Looks like the 'grand plan' of 'global warming' is not doing so good. I've been waiting for this to happen. Hee, hee... Chuck

Thank you and glad you're back... safe! Chuck

Well, that was fun! I liked the original Billy Joel video, too! Chuck

Here is a follow-up link of associated interest. http://www.chuckbaldwinlive.com/c2010/cbarchive_20100115.html That where I saw it. I'm not going to sit here and say that I believe every word but then too, why should I believe everything politicians say. ? I found the show interesting and entertaining. Will any of us ever know the truth? I don't think so. Chuck

It ties in with the massive underground bunker system beneath the Denver International Airport 120 miles away. Construction work continues as we speak. Ahh, so I hear. Funny, you should mention that! I just saw a story on t.v. about that. They talked about expected world disasters in 2012. Other places were mentioned but the only video they showed was in regard to Cheyenne Mountain and Denver International and the forms for underground tunnels and construction machinery in use. They showed some large murals inside the airport that were really disturbing. The murals showed dead people and 'doomsday' themed paintings on the walls of the airport. Hmmmm... Chuck

Happy Birthday! Hope, it's the best ever! Chuck

Probably, get the underground bunkers finished in time. Like the one under Cheyenne Mt. and others located in various places in this country. Allowing only strategic political figures and the filthy rich. Chuck

Al Gore's 'carbon credit' company? I think, the whole 'global warming' thing is a huge scam to get the world population to 'get concerned' over the environment and the tropical rain forests. Meanwhile, a certain few, like Al Gore and General electric stand to make billions of dollars off of global warming. I do believe, we SHOULD take care of our environment but let's do it realisticly and sanely. When a huge plant can 'buy' 'carbon credits' from smaller plants who barely produce carbon emissions, there's something screwy somewhere. Chuck

To any baseball purist Roger still is #1 (with no *) I agree! Major League Baseball should strip McGwire of his 'records', as well as anyone else who drugged their way to records. There's no major league sport that is 'squeaky clean' but allowing things like this to continue is wrong. Chuck

Is that called 'slush skiing'? Chuck

That's COLD! Chuck

Chuck

Yeah... that's cold! Chuck

Zip... zero... zilch... here! Chuck

I know that's right! I can be PM'd too! Chuck

I love cold days! Chuck
