Study Deals Blow to ‘Cap and Trade’

Cross-Posted FROM Gribbit’s Word

A new study on the hindering effects of decreasing air pollution may be the scientific evidence needed to short circuit POTUS Obamaramadingdong’s efforts to further stymie US companies and make MORE people dependent upon his Socialist government.

From AFP via Breitbart.com:

Cleaning up skies choked with smog and soot would sharply curtail the capacity of plants to absorb carbon dioxide and blunt global warming, according to a study released on Wednesday.

Plant life — especially tropical forests — soak up a quarter of all the CO2 humans spew into the atmosphere, and thus plays a critical role in keeping climate change in check.

Through photosynthesis, vegetation transforms sunlight, CO2 and water into sugar nutrients.

Common sense would suggest that air pollution in the form of microscopic particles that obstruct the Sun’s rays — a phenomenon called “global dimming” — would hamper this process, but the new study shows the opposite is true.

“Surprisingly, the effects of atmospheric pollution seem to have enhanced global plant productivity by as much as a quarter from 1960 to 1999,” said Linda Mercado, a researcher at the Met Office Hadley Centre in Britain, and the study’s lead author.

“This resulted in a net ten percent increase in the amount of carbon stored by the land,” she said in a statement.

Wow – if I read this correctly it seems to me that the rapid warming of the earth in recent decades could possibly be the result of clean air legislation and pollution limitations placed on industry. Interesting… Or it would be if I actually believed that CO2 had anything to do with global warming – which I don’t.

The whole argument made by imbeciles like the POTUS is moot because global warming – when it was occurring, which it isn’t now – is cause by that big yellow ball in the day sky. It’s called THE SUN YOU TWITS!!!!

Follow the common sense logic as I AGAIN try to explain it to you.

The earth is 90% water. The sun’s ultraviolet rays break down the water molecules and create ozone and – wait for it – WATER VAPOR. Water vapor my friends is THE MOST ABUNDANT GREENHOUSE GAS IN THE EARTH’S ATMOSPHERE. It is water vapor which caused global warming.

NOW – the earth hasn’t warmed since 1998 if you believe the real data that has been collected and it actually has been cooling for 2 years. Isn’t it interesting that sunspot activity over the past 2 years has been decreasing? Decreasing to a point of almost non-existent activity in 2008 as-a-matter-of-fact.

That said however, you have the greenies of the Church of Global Warming of Modern Day Idiots led by that hypocrite Al Gore and his brainless protege’ Barry Obamaramadingdong running around like a bunch of Chicken Little offspring cackling about reducing CO2 with this massively expensive ‘Cap and Trade’ bull during a recession yet their efforts will do NOTHING to curtail climate change but WILL FURTHER DESTROY what’s left of our economy. This Global Warming BS – or climate change (or whatever the new fashionable term is this week) – is nothing more than a manufactured crisis meant to be used as a tool to destroy capitalist based economies and bring about world wide socialism which is the goal of every Marx loving liberal in the world.

So if you want to bring about the United Socialist States of Amerika and fashion our country after a failed economic system, go right on buying those compact florescent light bulbs, hybrid cars, and supporting ‘Cap and Trade’ legislation. But remember one thing as you are standing in that bread line in a few years… I TOLD YOU SO!
