I’ll begin to believe lefty sincerity about reducing our dependence on fossil fuels when I see some of the more prominent among them begin to seriously advocate expanding nuclear power.

Chirp, chirp, chirp. <— crickets

But we knew that.

Methane has a negative effect that is 23 times higher than CO2. The only problem was that 75% of it comes from the 1.5 billion cows worldwide (the mouth end) & the politicians, for the life of them, couldn’t agree on a bureaucratic way to tax them or all of the other living creatures with digestive tracts.
They had planned to double tax cows since they have 2 stomachs. They spent lotsa tax $ feeding them new diets without success. Seems cows like to stick with plane old green grass. Darn.

You can prove how gases trap heat with a simple lab experiment:

Build a cubical glass chamber in a wall between two rooms. Put a heat lamp on one side and a thermometer on the other side.
Make the heat transfer go through the cube (insulate the wall to extremes)
Fill the chamber with different gases (N2, O2, CH4, CO2). Publish the results. Let your peers duplicate the experiment and verifiy your results.

This is how scientists show that CO2 and CH4 are greenhouse gases. Pleaes pay attention to the IPCC conference in Copenhagen. Weigh the risks. It stopped snowing here in Virginia 6-8 years ago. Read

The risk of maintaining the status quo is too high.

We spend over $700 billion a year for oil from other countries, yet we have 11 billion gallons off our west coast, 3.8 billion off our east coast & 3.7 billion in the east Gulf where we don’t drill. We have 21 trillion cubic feet of natural gas off the west coast, 37 trillion off the east coast, 20 trillion in the east Gulf & 37 trillion in Alaska, enough to heat every home for 50 years. It’s off our shores & off limits. CA would rather let murders go free rather than drill off their coast. CA refused to allow a liquid natural gas terminal to be built. It was built in Mexico for $1 billion & employs 3000 people.
We can’t drill our own natural resources because we are trying to save the planet & must buy our oil from other PLANETS such as Mexico & Canada, as Kyle mentioned.
We are unemployed & loosing our homes. It’s become politically correct to demonize American companies who make a profit (& employ us), especially BIG OIL, but last month we loaned the Brazilian Petrobras, the 7th largest company in the world, $2 billion to drill off the Brazilian coast to satisfy a deal they inked in 2/09 with China to sell them up to 58 million barrels of oil per yr., at the same time we are trying to coerce China to curb emissions.
We can’t build the nuclear power plants we need but we are expected (& soon to be required) to install GE’s “green” light bulbs in our homes which contain mercury & must be disposed of at Hazardous Waste Sites, per the instructions NOT PRINTED on the box. Even cans of tuna in CA include mercury warning labels.

How does me driving a car to work equate to case closed?

Of course I drive a car to work – does that mean that until the end of time that I have to continue driving a car with an internal conbustion engine? Are you against progess?

Can some one please tell me how burning fossil fuels is a good thing? How does it make our country stronger or safer?

K_Chub, do you drive a car or ride a horse to work? Case closed.

Here are the “facts,” according to the scientist/columnist, which cool off climate alarmism: a noted scientist says that his findings will not mean that “global warming [was] disappearing.”
What a mischaracterization of scientific findings and conclusions to fit the columnist’s viewpoint!
