With winds gusting to 50 miles per hour and heavy snow, residents of Rapid City, South Dakota were advised to stay home and local police wrote citations for anyone caught in snow drifts or were out for non-essential business.  The most important point in this story, however, is that South Dakota received a blizzard in May.  Now I know some global warming activists read my blog and will commence to bashing me for saying global warming is a hoax because it snowed somewhere in May.  It’s just all of the other overwhelming evidence that makes me believe global warming is a hoax. :)

    The last glacial period was a hoax. The dinosaurs were a hoax. History is a hoax.

    Climate destabalization may be easier for you to grasp. If you run your car engine in a garage with the door closed you will realize quickly that you have changed the atmosphere or you will die.

    That isn’t a hoax.

    So you can accept that 1 car can end your life in an hour or two. How much of a stretch is it to say 100 million cars running 365 days a year 24 hours a day could have an impact on the atmosphere?

    Add the conversion of coal and the wildfires to airborne particulate, and you have I would hope a very common sense approach to this issue.

    You wouldn’t close the door on your garage, and you can’t open the door on the world and let your waste out. Sorry. I know you want to think you are a good person, and you really are, but you just do things that have impacts on other things and it is too much for your brain at this evolutionary moment.

    Some of us are centuries ahead in our development, others remain in the dark ages.

    Have you heard about those peiople who think if they kill someone, that the dead persons spirit will be their slave in heaven?

    Pretty scary stuff for the 21st century. But then, we are only human.

    Well hi, Earl E!

    While keeping a car running in a closed garage is a bad idea, because carbon dioxide build-up will cause suffocation and ultimately death, you failed to consider that a closed garage has nothing to absorb the excess carbon dioxide. That’s where plants, trees, grass and even the oceans come into play. I know you really want to believe in Al Gore’s religion of climate change, but in reality it doesn’t hold water.

    If you really want to save the planet, you’ll have Gore stop his biofuel project before all of the rain forests are destroyed to make more farmland for corn. For without trees and vegetation, it will be like a running car in a closed garage. And, please, re-read all of this slowly so that it won’t be too much for your brain at this evolutionary moment.

    Thanks for dropping by. I appreciate the comment.

    I’m sorry, I am sitting on my new deck in the back, made of brazilian rainforest wood. If you checked out the satelite shots of central and south america, the place is on fire.

    So absorbing co2 is great, but when you remove the sponges for soaking it up, well, you need Bounty, the quicker-picker-upper.

    Too bad the boreal forests are being consumed by the beetle and the permafrost is melting. Those forcings on the environment are much larger than my brain can handle.

    On a side note, I never mention Al Gore because I have been anti-exhaust/pro-hydrogen since 1978 when I saw the first hydrogen car.

    I think people who mention Al Gore are trying to make political statements and put labels on things to change the subject, and because humans are so challenged with just the daya to day, they are easily confused by the Al Gore swindle debate.

    The Al Gore swindle debate is about politics and economy. Global warming, or climate destabalization, or the open garage door theory, are just about humans trying to know what may require adaptation.

    Don’t care about Al, don’t call myself a liberal, donated big for Ron Paul, and stand fimly against slaughtering women and children and are military so I can drive a car that burns gas.

    Hydrogen has always been there. The economy and the politics of oil, however, are the driving forces in preventing adaptation.

    Oh by the way, across the street was 2 homes surrounded by old forest. A developer bought them, knocked them down, and is putting 15 new homes on the same 2 lots. He named it American Gardens.

    It is devoid of all green. Completely flattened, smooth, and without any carbon sequestration what so ever.

    American Gardens. I like that.
