I LOVE "global warming"!!! (PV)

[FrankRizzoXD40]

I like "global warming"!

Warmer temperatures mean less usage of oil/gas in our homes. Less usage of oil means less demand for oil. Less demand for oil means lower oil prices. Lower oil prices means less money goes to terrorists. Less money for terrorists could mean fewer terrorist attacks and decreased terrorist activity. Less acts of terrorism mean more happiness!

Less oil usage in our homes also means lower oil prices. Less money spent on oil and lower oil prices mean more disposable income. More disposable income means we have more money to spend on goods and services. More money spent on goods and services means more money will be put into our economy. More money put into our economy means that our economy will grow. A growing economy means more jobs and fewer layoffs! More jobs and fewer layoffs mean more happiness!

Warmer temperatures also mean we will have longer growing seasons. Longer growing seasons means we will be able to grow more food. More food means lower food prices. Lower food prices mean even more money can be spent on goods/services. More food and lower food prices means less starvation. Less starvation means more happiness!

Let's take a look at cooler temperatures. Colder temperatures mean more oil/gas usage in our homes. More oil/gas usage means more demand for oil. More demand for oil means oil prices go up. Oil prices going up means more money goes to terrorists. More money for terrorists can mean more terrorist attacks/increased terrorist activity. More terrorist attacks do not mean more happiness!

More oil usage means that we are paying more for oil. More money spent on oil means less disposable income. Less disposable income means we will spend less money on goods and services. Less money spent on goods and services means less money goes into our economy. Less money put into the economy means our economy could slow down. A slowing economy means fewer jobs and more layoffs. Fewer jobs and more layoffs do NOT lead to happiness!

Colder temperatures also mean shorter growing seasons. Shorter growing seasons means we grow less food. Less food grown means that food prices will go up. Less food and higher food prices mean that there will be more starvation and even less money to spend on goods/services. More starvation does not mean more happiness!

As you can see, warmer temperatures are great--far better than colder temperatures!

Now you can see why Frank Rizzo likes global warming!!!!

Frank,
This is obviously skewed by your geographic location. Living in Arizona I view the summers as aready being hot enough for most while the winters are constantly overrun with snowbirds who escape the harsh climate you live in.

While your argument is valid, consider the other side of the coin. Warming means more use of air conditioning and increased medical bills for those who cannot tolerate the heat. The plants dry up and die without water etcetera etcetera etcetera.

Thus warming produces a need to consume more energy in the form of electricity. Our vehicles only have one A/C setting out here high, thus reducing efficiency and causing us to buy/use more fuel.

The whole thing is a cycle of events that affect everyone, yet your argument is based on where you live.

There are many locations where one can grow crops year round, use less fuel for heating etcetera. So perhaps you like warmer climates? Perhaps this is what you are really saying. Perhaps your justification is based on a desire to remain in your geographic location. Perhaps?

That's true, but as a planet I'd be willing to bet that more people are using energy running heaters than air conditioners in the winter. This, the energy saved by not running heat would, in the end, outweigh the energy used by increased A/C use.

There is a reason why I said "Frank Rizzo likes global warming", "instead of AZXD likes global warming."

Where is that "Aw jeez, not this $hit again" pic when you need it.

Come on Frank, did you just cut and paste this from the last time you posted it, or do you remember this stuff by heart?

Both.

I brought it back upon request from a fellow forum member, who wishes to remain annoymous.

We are going to have global warming later this week. Last week we had two big snows and this Friday its going to be 85 degrees.

I'm just razzin' ya. I gave up debating GW about 20 threads ago, or last month, which ever you want to call it.

I have given it up also. I think some people favor the ignorance is bliss approach.

well in the western mountain areas our water is from the snow pack and with global warming we will have less snow every year and less water which will cause water prices to go up and will also cause power prices to go up since most of our energy is from hydroelectric power plants (well at least idaho).
and also with not enough water to go around farmers will go out of business (no matter how long the growing season is you NEED WATER) and with out our ski resorts and our resivours we loose two major attractions to the area and less people would move here and also a large part of our economy is based around those two things and with out them people get layed off, companies go out of business, the state looses money due to less people, less taxes on boats and such. and with out that money they will have to cut funding to certain programs or they will have to raise our taxes

global warming most likely would cause
1.higher water prices
2.higher power bills
3.increased cost of agricultural item
4. increased taxes
5. and the loss of jobs due to people getting laid off from winter and summer resorts and businesses that depend on them (like my family restaurant that depends HEAVILY on traffic to arrow rock reservoir and lucky peak reservoir , which are Boise's 2 main summer attractions and with out these reservoirs we WOULD go out of business and i can say this with 100% certainty since during the winter we go from $5000 days during the summer to $50-250 days durning the winter)

so i can pretty much say that it would be terrible for idaho and most if not all of the western mountain states

Well I'll tell ya what. Your idea sucks!
The car said it was 83 as I drove home and the local weather reported 75, so I'm gonna be using my carbon credits on cooling as you reduce your heating. My snow never arrived, so how do you offset that. There is no balance. It's just slowly cooking.
