Danger, Belching Moose Ahead!

August 22nd, 2007 | No Comments | Posted in WTF

Get out the padded cells; the environuts are at it again, this time claiming that moose belching is destroying the environment

The poor old Scandinavian moose is now being blamed for climate change, with researchers in Norway claiming that a grown moose can produce 2,100 kilos of methane a year — equivalent to the CO2 output resulting from a 13,000 kilometer car journey.

They are so concerned with CO2 emissions that they ignore all the other scientific evidence out there that says that maybe, just maybe, this is the natural cycle of the earth especially since Mars has also experienced an increase in its global temperature as well.

Am I a scientist? Nope, I’m an animator, I make computer models.  But since I have a functioning brain  I would think that if the Earth has warmed up and Mars has warmed up, the chances of it all being man made are slim-to-none unless somehow the Mars rover has produced a shitload of greenhouse gases.

Measuring moose burps and farts for a living….. um, yeah.

**UPDATE**

Many media outlets — such as the recent Newsweek magazine cover story — portray man-made global warming as fact and those who deny it as conspirators. But skeptics are increasingly certain that the scare is vastly overblown.

A new study by Brookhaven National Lab scientist Stephen Schwartz contends that the Earth’s climate is only about one-third as sensitive to carbon dioxide as the United Nations’ recent climate study claims. Schwarz’s work will be published in The Journal of Geophysical Research. The study is just one of several peer-reviewed scientific studies challenging global warming alarmism:

The Belgian Weather Institute concludes that carbon dioxide does not have a decisive role in global warming.

A study by two Chinese scientists says CO2′s role in warming is “vastly exaggerated.” And new research by University of Washington mathematicians shows a correlation between high solar activity and periods of warming.

Meanwhile, what is billed as the first comprehensive analysis of global biofuel impact has concluded that their use may release between two and nine times more carbon gases than fossil fuels.

The study published in the journal Science says the clearing of forest land to grow biofuel crops will produce immediate carbon gas releases and also destroy habitats, wildlife and jobs. It says that while biofuels look good from a Western perspective, they will be harmful on a global scale. The study contends it will take about 40 percent of American and European agricultural land to grow enough biofuel crops to replace only 10 percent of fossil fuel use.

Now this is cool

They have made a substance that can take a direct blast of 1 kg of dynamite and heat up to 2,400 degrees. 

This stuff is so cool!  You can read about it here

I want to see them make lightweight body armor out of it for the troops and police.  Course, it’s such a good insulator that they might get too hot and that wouldn’t be a good thing, would it?

Artery-clogging goodness

I love McDonald’s.  A Quarter Pounder with cheese and fries *drool*.  I know it’s bad for me and has about a billion calories.  I know I am going to have to run an extra three miles just for even thinking about a Quarter Pounder, but I DON’T CARE!!!  It’s just sooo good!

The wife is a White Castle fiend, she likes their little cheeseburgers with extra pickles but I just can get behind a steam cooked hamburger, which just seems wrong somehow.

Can you tell I just went and got lunch?  Three guesses where and the first two don’t count.

What a bunch of crap, the mayor of Brussels won’t allow a 9-11 demonstration in remembrance of the victims because it might “alienate the Muslims”, but he will allow a Muslim demonstration saying that 9-11 was caused by the Zionists and Jews so they could blame it on the Muslims.  

The Brussels mayor, the Socialist Freddy Thielemans, has, on 9th of August 2007 sent out a press release in which he has banned a demonstration with a minute of silence to commemorate the victims of 9/11 on the 11th sept in Brussels. The reason for the prohibition is that he says he cannot guarantee public safety and that he won’t disturb the Islamic section of the population in Brussels.

This is the typical crap from a victim mentality.  Maybe if I do what they want they will leave me alone and go pick on someone else.  Maybe if I just give him my money he will be nice to me next time because I did what he wanted. 

WRONG! 

Next time he will know that you will give him the money again.  Why try finding a new victim who might actually fight back when you already have one that you know won’t? 

I learned a long time ago the best way to deal with a bully (which is all terrorists really are) is to kick the crap out of them so hard that they never want you to come after them again. 

Terrorists and radical Muslims use fear to get what they want.  Fear of riots, fear of an attack, and fear of violence.  The only way to stop it is to confront them without fear and make THEM afraid of US, and they sure as hell won’t be afraid of us if we keep doing stupid crap like this.
