Perfect combustion results in water vapor and CO2. For decades thge regulators have been pushing industry to more perfect combustion because the products of imperfect combustion (CO, NOx, SOx, PM, ROG) are pollutants and do cause problems. These are all criteria pollutants.

The only way to reduce emissions of CO2 (other than us to cease breathing) is to reduce combustion. Once you understand that, then you will understand that the goal of this alarmism is to control our lives even more. Our entire economy is dependent on energy. If we reduce combustion then we reduce wealth.

Not to get off the subject (much) but I asked a person with ties to PETA once what would happen to the cows if everyone became a vegetarian. She explained the cows would probably die out eventually and that would be okay since they weren't natural anyway. (Yeah, don't think too hard about that either unless you want your head to hurt). First the cows. Oh, she wasn't too keen on the idea of companion animals either. I think there was a trend there.

On a lighter note, there is a fun little video on you tube: minnesotans for global warming. Not entirely accurate, but it's a smiel maker!

The temp was -34 this morning with a high of -19.

It's supposed to be a heat wave of 0 tomorrow.

All these negatives are making me jealous. Temperature never makes the negatives in MD.

Here's the way I got it covered. I live south of the Ohio River (the southern boundry of the great ice sheets) and west of the Appalacians (not too worried out coastal flooding or even sunamis for that matter). Hurricanes? They usually bring much needed rain. Tornados? Rootcellar. Raging wildfires not usually much of a problem east of the Ohio & Miss. (leastways this far north they are).
Only problem here is people wanting to move here from somewhere else. Don't. You'll upset the delicate balance between global warming hysteria and mini ice age worry. Either way I'd like a bit more hay, a good stand of corn and all does this year instead of bucks.
