POPSWhy we need high oil prices I know this sounds crazy, but i honestly believe that high oil prices in the short term (1-5 years) is a very good thing if it forces us to find alternatives. I am definitely concerned that if oil prices drop temporarily, the momentum behind alternatives such as wind and solar will die off - leaving us exactly where we are today - way too dependent on oil and way to harmful to our environment.

POPSFamed Geneticist Creating Life Form That Turns CO2 to Fuel Scientists put "suicide genes" into their living creations so that if they escape the lab, they can be triggered to kill themselves. Venter said he is also working on organisms that make vaccines for the flu and other illnesses. Suicide genes and vaccines mentioned in the same breath, sort of creeps me out a little. :roll:

POPSBritain Pulls Plug on Al Gore Interesting. I would not have guessed that this impact would have been so great. I would have assumed that total household consumption -- and this would have only involved the portion of households watching the concert -- was outsized by consumption of other users. Are our grids that fragile?

POPSAL GORE: Global Warming HYPOCRIT! Gore Figure! Gore won't downsize his energy consumption and yet wants to preach about global warming. He's only into global warming for the attention. IF he really cared or believed what he said, WHY isn't he doing more is lead the way. Talk is CHEAP. Al Gore is big fat liar...and he's put on the pounds to go with it.

POPSEdwards has a point: Hillary is Wrong Edwards raises a very good point, something Democrats have an amazing capacity to over look. In 2000 the Democrats ran Al Gore, and he wasn't able to generate enough enthusiasm to secure the white house. In 2004 they ran John Kerry as the "Bush-beater" candidate, and he didn't generate enough enthusiasm to even make people bother noticing the blatant fraud in the election. Dukakis, Mondale, McGovern, and Stevenson were no better. The democrats have run an outstanding array of losers since the mid point of the 20th century. As long as Hilary Clinton remains an establishment candidate with no clear ideological positions and delicately structured plans that only go half way, she won't be winning anything. Also, seriously, if the election came down to Hillary (Bomb Iran) v. Guliani (BOMB IRAN) then we would be looking at a contest where the Daisy Girl add would be considered positive PR!

POPSAn inconvenient truth Al Gore left out of his movie According to this writer, Gore never really comes clean in his film about precisely how much sacrifice will be required of residents of industrialized countries if we are to stop global warming. Estimates suggest we'd have to cut CO2 emissions by 90%. Something tells me that's not going to happen.

POPSGlobal warming melting Arctic Ice: Manipulation of public perceptions the second was the Medieval Warm Period from 900 to 1200 AD, and most recently the warm period of the 1930s and 1940s, which we now know were warmer than the 1990s in North America despite what Al Gore says. As Marie Curie, a worthy winner of two Nobel Prizes in Chemistry and Physics said, “Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood.” Full story in the: Canada Free Press

POPSGore's real green concern In short. Gore is "buying" carbon offsets from himself. His carbon offset money goes into his own company to buy or invest in companies that will profit from him flying around the globe preaching his global warming alarmist gospel.
