Here's How 16 Big Companies Are Profiting Off Global Warming By Jillian Berman Posted: 08/19/2013 1:31 pm EDT | Updated: 08/20/2013 3:43 am EDT "Rising global temperatures could be putting all of us at risk of allergies, nutritional deficiencies and more. But don't worry, there's a silver lining! Some companies will make a pretty penny. Sure, many of these businesses, like hybrid automakers, will make money due to increased demand for products that actually help the environment, but some are profiting off climate change in more sinister ways:" More >>
I completely agree. We need to have the science nailed down before embarking on all of these costly and cumbersome tax and carbon credit programs. This has become a political and emotional battle, and that's the wrong way to settle these matters. We are really just now getting the data we need to sort things out.
How Resource Shortages Sparked Egypt's Months-Long Crisis "The country has battled water shortages, rising food prices, and declining oil production, and it's fueling the current conflict. " By Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed, Aug 19 2013, 10:51 AM ET "With more than 600 people killed and almost 4,000 injured from clashes between Egyptian security forces and Muslim Brotherhood protesters, the country's democratic prospects look dismal. But while the violence is largely framed as a conflict between Islamism and secularism, the roots of the crisis run far deeper. Egypt is in fact on the brink of a protracted state-collapse process driven by intensifying resource scarcity. "Since the unilateral deposition of President Morsi, the army's purported efforts to "restore order" are fast-tracking the country toward civil war. The declaration of a month-long state of emergency--ironically in the name of defending "democracy" - suggests we are witnessing the dawn of a new era of unprecedented violence with the potential to destabilize the entire region. "Underlying growing instability is the Egyptian state's increasing inability to contain the devastating social impacts of interconnected energy, water and food crises over the last few decades."

1. Good Job Mr. President. 2. You are preaching to the choir on this one. Many conservatives believe we should conserve.
oh yeah, they fight every water treatment plant, they fight the drive to raise the efficiency of automobile engines, they fought the fcc on limits to EMF exposure, they just fight environmental things all the time! The worst polluter of Americans is the Medical Cartel. Democrats can't get enough of that sexy stuff, they are in bed with those sons of bitches 24/7...
I think you are confusing conservatives with sellout mainstream politicians. Farmers are conservative in many ways. Similarly the members of the NRA are conservative. And many of those hunters believe in managing the resources they hunt. Is that pc no... is it conservative and smart yes. People who manage forrests are the same way. People who manage oil frequently take the long term view. Just about everyone who owns resources for the long run tends to be in interested in proper management of the resources. And many owners of assets are conservative. Many of the biggest names in the early environmental movement were conservative. Conservation - conservative. Lincoln and yosemite. Teddy Roosevelt and national parks... Eisenhower... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/20/republican-environment_n_1020633.html
Sorry jerm, you fail the test. What a surprise. Spency-boy not only used only TROPICAL temperatures, but only MID-TROPOSHERE temperatures to try compare against WORLDWIDE, multi-elevation temp predictions. And the reason he did that is because that selective subset of temps shows the least warming. And why did he do that? Deception. That's the name of the game for the denier movement and their well paid dis-informers.
you are a complete moron liar with no ability to discern fact from fiction in your posts. The point is that there has been no statistically discernable warming in the temperature records for the last 16 or more years. It does not matter which record you use or Spencer used. you are just arguing stupid shit... to hide the facts. The IPCC models failed. They projected temperature rise and it has not happened. (we are not talking about oceans so don't go to your favorite deception right now.) Your models failed. Finally, you must know that your models failed so badly the Met office released a new model on Christmas eve which now projects virtually no warming for the next five years. http://www.thegwpf.org/met-office-warming-2017-media-do/
