Global Warming Update

Well if Wikipedia says so, it must be true.

because, I can't go in and edit whatever I want to edit in Wikipedia can I?

Thank god--I was hoping someone would make a similar comment.

God forbid that you follow the links to the sources that the article cites.

Actually, god forbid that you actually take a look at the article.

But thanks for sharing.

Actually I did read it. It said that Ehrlich lost the bet because he didn't consult with economists, and that if he had, the flaw in using commodity prices as the best way to understand biophysical limits might have become obvious.

So, he wasn't wrong about his position on biophysical limits, but rather on using commodity prices as tool to understand them.

Btw, I've been stocking up on corn, biodiesel, ethanol, rice, cumin, tin, and of course Cadmium. Don't come knocking on my door when you find yourself in dire need of these items, as the human population bursts harder than the real estate bubble.

And you believe this will happen, though the evidence of the last couple decades points in exactly the opposite direction?

What the hell, you (and Ehrlich) could be right. It could be that those famines of unbelievable proportions that he predicted will arrive, after all, just 30-40 years late.

So you're probably wise to stock up. I'll just have to soldier on with the fruits of my unrealistic belief that things, on average and over time, seem to be getting better.

Evidence smevidence. There is also "evidence" of global cooling in the last 10 years. Just like a car speeds up right before the light turns red only to t-bone a car going in the perpendicular direction. You need to stock up on nickel and cadmium if you want to be competitive (and survive, for that matter) in the future market. Mark my words. Last I checked cadmium was trading at around $3.55 US. Buy it now while you can. Dummy.

http://mysite.verizon.net/vze6l53f/greatnoncatastrophesofthelate20thcentury/ yeah because Cadmium is real safe.. do you have Nickelic Hydroxide or Cadmium Hydride, Im pretty sure Cadmium Hydride is especially dangerous.. if anything Lithium, Uranium, Platinum, Palladium, PLutonium, etc. have much greater future value... Go cry wolf somewhere else's if anything your investment shows your bias, as you try and turn a profit on a dumb trianglesque scheme you got suckered into... if anything silicon crystals would be a better investment because at least that might create power for more that a few hours, oh and activated carbon maybe too, because Im sure the next fear mongering ploy will be biological warfare or something... Liberals have been wrong on these matters time and time again... oh and Cadmium is a dead technology, NiCd batteries dont charge properly for more that a week, so way to be a liberal on that one trying to sell another false idea.... notice no one really sells Nickel-Cadmium batteries anymore because they are useless

shut up, nobody knows what they are talking about.
