We just don't focus on the positive enough in this thread...

Global warming (or climate change if you prefer) causes the following:

Higher temperatures, which in turn causes
People to be hotter, which in turn causes
People to drink more water, which in turn causes
Higher metabolism, which in turn causes
Less fat, which in turn causes
Healthier female bodies, which in turn causes
Women to wear more scanty and revealing clothing, which in turn causes
Them to tan more (except those soulless gingers), which in turn causes
Better looking, more shapely, tanned women

Who wants to stop the drilling now? You can have this:

Support global warming. For the women!

Well this looks interesting.....

Top scientists start to examine fiddled global warming figures - Telegraph

Same writer as the last time this crap came up. I wonder if the 'skeptic' group GWPF will come to the same conclusion as other skeptical scientists who have examined this? If they do, does that mean the GWPF is in on the conspiracy too (along with Richard Muller, Judith Curry, and others...)?

Eh Bart will probably post another silly link that links this article to the tobacco industry. If anyone questions anything about global warming, climate change or whatever stupid term these "climate scientists" have come up with, they are deniers and conspiracy theorists.

Here's a silly link to a silly Christopher Booker article on secondhand smoke.

How much longer can Christopher Booker go on misleading readers?

Conservative thinktank seeks to change Pope Francis's mind on climate change
The Heartland Institute, a Chicago-based conservative thinktank that seeks to discredit established science on climate change, said it was sending a team of climate scientists to Rome “to inform Pope Francis of the truth about climate science”.

“Though Pope Francis’s heart is surely in the right place, he would do his flock and the world a disservice by putting his moral authority behind the United Nations’ unscientific agenda on the climate,” Joseph Bast, Heartland’s president, said in a statement.

Jim Lakely, a Heartland spokesman, said the thinktank was “working on” securing a meeting with the Vatican.

... I don't see what this has to do with not running out of fossil fuels, just looking at the title of your link.

If diesel can be made, we arent in danger of running out. it is renewable. Admittedly, my post doesnt correlate precisely with Bart's masterpiece of a thread but i didnt want to start another thread with my link.

If we're making it, it isn't a fossil fuel.

Diesel that is made from crude oil- yes.

Biodiesel- no.

Any diesel not made from crude oil pumped out of the ground- no.

2nd draft:

i am not afraid of running out of gogo liquid used to power internal combustion engines typically bought at gas stations due to the link i quoted above.

I think I'm not speaking up enough to make where I am coming from clear, Mcdad:

This process isn't new. It it has been around since 1925, and Germany used it quite a bit in WW2 (along with wood gas, which is another thing).

It is expensive and energy intensive. These stories come out about once every 2 or 3 years and get people who don't know about their history excited, but this really isn't anything other than a publicity stunt.

Two dumbasses liked your post. Did you even read the article and read the Wiki article? You try to come off as knowing what you're talking about but most of the time you're clueless.

Some steam is better than no steam...

Obama should embrace nuclear energy (Opinion) - CNN.com

These assumptions are tremendously important because they determine how emission targets are set and what state actions will receive credit toward those targets. A group of University of Tennessee graduate students made this point to EPA at a public hearing last summer.

Using EPA's own data, the graduate students showed that EPA's energy policy plan creates incentives for states to shut down nuclear power plants and replace them with natural gas combined cycle plants. The students demonstrated that under this scenario, EPA's model shows emission reductions while real world emissions actually increase.

President Obama's EPA has shifted its position on nuclear energy and hidden that policy shift in a model.

If the free market via its investors want to change the energy picture, then have at it. Don't need an overreacting buffoon in the oval office loaning the industry billions though.

These financial institutions are warning against risky fossil fuel investments because they know some sort of regulation is inevitable. But we could cut emissions through legislation without loaning specific companies billions (Solyndra) or favoring one industry over another (nuclear)…

With Pope Francis’s Encyclical on Climate Change Done, Now a Vatican Sales Push – and Pushback
The much-anticipated environmental encyclical that Pope Francis plans to issue this summer is already being translated into the world’s major languages from the Latin final draft, so there’s no more tweaking to be done, several people close to the process have told me in recent weeks.

But the campaign to make sure that the document has as much impact as possible on climate diplomacy leading up to Paris treaty talks in December is just getting into gear.

An event today at the Vatican — organized by the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences, the Sustainable Development Solutions Network and Religions for Peace — is setting the tone for what’s to come.

The meeting — “Protect the Earth, Dignify Humanity: The Moral Dimensions of Climate Change and Sustainable Development” — will include speeches by U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and leaders of the pontifical academies, along with panels on relevant scientific, moral and economic issues

At the bottom of this post, you can read an excerpt from the final draft of “Climate Change and the Common Good — a Statement of the Problem and the Demand for Transformative Solutions,” a declaration that is scheduled to be issued at the meeting, signed by a dozen participants, mostly members of the pontifical academies.
