Huge study about safety can be misinterpreted by SUV drivers

Ahh yes, more support for my theory that baseball is responsible for
global warming! After all didn't baseball get started around the middle
of the 19th century. Didn't global warming really begin to accelerate as
professional teams were formed? And look at the most recent spike -
doesn't it correlate well to the addition of the Marlins, Diamondbacks,
and Devil Rays? Adding hot weather teams was obviously the stray that
will destroy our climate. At all cost we must keep the Expos out of
Puerto Rico.

This isn't even right. There was no cost calculation related directly to
the Pinto and it wasn't necessarily a seat belt bolt that ruptured the
tank. There were supposedly three modes of failure that could cause a
problem - 1) the fuel tank was shoved into the rear axle or body
hardware and ruptured, 2) the fuel filler tube pulled out of the tank
during a violent crash and fuel spilled from the opening in the side of
the tank, and 3) the fuel filler detached from the body leaving the gas
cap behind and fuel spilled from the open tube. Early Pintos were
recalled and fitted with three things to address these problem - 1) a
polyethylene shield that wrapped around the bottom of the tank and up to
the front to reduce potential damage from the rear axle or body
hardware, 2) a longer filler pipe, and 3) a reinforcement ring and
security screws to secure the filler neck to the body. I was very
familiar with the fixes (we owned two Pintos). Also I worked at Ford for
a brief period during the peak of the trial hysteria. You would not
believe how many perfectly good cars Ford crashed in order to gather
supporting evidence for the trial. I particularly lusted after the
remains of a Datsun 240Z they crashed. Unfortunately truth and justice
had little or nothing to do with the outcome of the trial. Ford lost and
we all pay.

All we need is a plot of baseball games played vs. global mean temp.

Oh and to add to this, according to the global warming true believers
it really started ramping up in the post war years.... this fits the
baseball model as the sport was introduced to new populations.

We just need to gather all this baseball data and plot it agains mann,
1998.

 

Your welcome. I remember it very well myself. I've mentioned it to Lloyd
before, he always said I was lying, there was no proof any scientist had
made such a claim. This article proves LP wrong again, it names names, even
National Academy of Sciences and NOAA. And as expected, not a word From
Lloyd about it. He must really hate being proven wrong on every statement
he makes. ;-) >

LOL! I remember this "new ice age" scam well, I was in Collee at the time
and all the Socialist faculty were flapping their gloom & doom gums about
it, claiming if we didn't all stsrt driving VWs we'd all freeze to death
come 1990.Typical hogwash, sure glad you posted the link.

BTW, read today's USA Today. It has a prominent piece on how the gas (bag)
theorists pet study from the '80's has been proven faulty and that theris no
evidence global average temps of the second half of the 20th century were
anything but perfectly normal. (Notice how quiet Lloyd's been today?)

 

The more you nail this stuff, Doug, the more ranting you'll hear!

 

Great reply, Brent. Ask Ted Kennedy & his Hyannisport chums why they're
blocking off shore wind turbines. Just another bunch of Liberal NIMBY
hypocrites.

 

That's it, thanks for the link.

 

ROFLMAO!!!!!

Boy, that poor bastard who got in the way of the foul ball will be hunted
down like a dirty scoundrel now for not only causing the Cubs loss, but
causing global warming as well!!!!

 

Ed, you have so precisely nailed this issue it stands as a breakthrough and
must be published in all scientific journals. I predict you will soon be not
only rich, but famous as well. (You will be forced to share royalties with
Lloyd, however, for his contributions to your thought processes.)

 

This is pointless to debate with you, I'd be arguing with a close-minded
leftist green zealot. Fact is, none of these global catastrophe hypotheses
hold water, but they sure make great copy in the leftist controlled media.

Look, we'd all like live in an environmentally pure world, but it can't
happen unless we all head back to the caves, go back to eating grass & dung
and have 15 year life expectancies. No one endorses poisoning water or air,
but when looney tunes start distorting facts to claim saying we're warming
the planet with life sustaining gasses someone's got to challenge this
tripe. Their real agenda is clear, and Kyoto proves it.

Now, for political reasons it might be a good idea to stop depending upon
middle east oil. To do that in the short term we'd have to tap our own oil
sources, like off shore, ANWAR, etc. Would the greens support this? Hell no!
They'd prefer total and complete economic dislocation of developed nations
because their vision is some ludicrous "citizens of the world" salvation for
the planet. It's a complete load of crap and sensible people have had enough
of it.

So, now, what happens when we begin to deploy massive numbers of solar
panels around the world, how is the environment going to cope with all that
HEAT??? Well, none of the greens want to answer that question, nor can they
address where all the space will come from to actually deploy these things.
Solar power is hugely inefficient in terms of it's actual power generation
capability vs. space requirements, and production of solar panels is hugely
toxic.

Next, where, pray tell, will we place all of the so-called "green" wind
generating stations, hmmmm???? Oh, not anywhere near a green's home, no sir,
too unsightly, threatening to birds and the noise, WELL!!!

When greens get off their anti-society high horses and start working for
real conservation maybe then there can be some discourse. All I know is that
for over 30 years the same zealots have been waving their arms and flapping
their gums yet have not proposed a single realistic solution. As it is now,
no one can drill, mine, cut, dam, etc. All venues are off and the greens
can't propose a single alternative save go live in yurt by the river
somewhere and live on sprouts. Give me a break!

 

Here's one of the fools:

 

And another fool:

 

More BS:

 

Did he have them in 2003? If so, where are they?

Which turned out to be a lie.

Where are they?

"Has" is present tense. Where are they?

The one given to us by Bush.

Yes, thank goodness our long national nightmare of peace and prosperity under
Clinton is over.

 

Same old, same old.

 

Another fool proudly showing off his ignorance:

 

Uh, if a jury didn't buy it, how can you say Ford "proved" it?

Too bad their own internal documents not only contradicted this, but talked
about how many deaths would be worth not installing a part costing a few
cents.

 

Another fool who believes what he reads on right-wing web sites:

 

Like saying maybe death causes cancer.
