    Does Al Gore Finally Get It? [view article]
    I am very pleased to be an engineer in America and see the great responses, rational responses from other engineer types. Gore's hypothesis has not been sufficiently rebutted in the media to disclose the objective truth. A hundred years of data is just not significant. It isn't wrong or right- just insignificant, except politically for profit. Sad. Reply

    Is Natural Gas Down for the Count? [view article]
    So the title should be "Natural gas not down for the count!". Article is a relief to longer term investors in leading natural gas stocks which have been crushed lately. Reply

    The Arctic has been ice free many times in the last 10,000 years alone. the ice cap on Mars is shrinking. Its a natural solar cycle.

    we are being mislead by world-wide activist organizations and governments that global warming results from human activity.

    That is false. "Nature, Not Human Activity, Rules Climate Change". A report by this title that can be downloaded from sepp.org


    But we are running out of oil bi time and you are so right. This is the big problem.

    there's tons of oil in America but Congress has locked it away.

    Here is my transport energy plan; www.strategicnine.com/...     Reply

    Very short of any information of real use.

    If someone invests in ETF's without knowing about the funds management style, then they have not done due diligence and deserve the consequences.     Reply

    Implementing Pickens' Plan for Public Energy Policy [view article]
    we are being mislead by world-wide activist organizations and governments that global warming results from human activity.

    That is false. "Nature, Not Human Activity, Rules Climate Change". A report by this title that can be downloaded from sepp.org

    The popular notion, that seemingly has become a religion with many people, is that human activity is behind global warming. This idea is being pushed by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change - IPCC. Its members are paid by their governments to participate in this activity.

    Most of us citizens who have read about the IPCC and its reports would think that its objective was to determine if human activity was causing global warming. But that is not the case. The IPCC was established in the early 90s by the UN as an activist enterprise from its very beginning. Its agenda is to justify control of greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide. Consequently, its scientific reports have focused solely on evidence that might point toward human-induced climate change to the exclusion of evidence to the contrary. And the IPCC has not only ignored evidence to the contrary, but worse yet, its leadership has doctored reports to support the leadership's view that human activity is causing global warming.

    A group of 31 internationally known, unpaid, volunteer climate scientists met in early 2007 to produce a truly scientific and balanced report that examined what was known about the science of global warming and cooling. This group called themselves the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change - the NIPCC. Their report has now been completed and can be found at this web site: sepp.org under Publications.

    [If you are concerned that I may be overstating the case against the IPCC's reports, see paragraph 3 on page iii of the Preface to the NIPCC report (the reference to which is found below) that is written by Dr. Fred Seitz, the recently deceased President Emeritus of Rockefeller University, the Past President of the National Academy of Sciences, and the Past President of the American Physical Society.]

    When you read my summary, you may want to read Singer's and Avery's book available from Amazon and other bookstores. The main focus of that book is to present the historical evidence that the earth's climate is being affected by a 1500 year cycle of global warming and then cooling caused by periodic variations in the sun's output. The most recent temperature minimum for the earth was in 1850, and is referred to as the Little Ice Age. We are on an upswing in temperature now known by climate scientists as the Moderate Warming Period.

    The NIPCC report has as its objective the presentation of a balanced view of the data on cooling and warming and its sources. What they found is the opposite of what the IPCC and the media are promoting. To quote from the Conclusion of the NIPCC report:

    "It is regrettable that the public debate over climate change, fueled by the errors and exaggerations contained in the reports of the IPCC, has strayed so far from scientific truth. It is an embarrassment to science that hype has replaced reason in the global debate over so important an issue."

    Looks like 2008traveler answered my question as I was asking it. However, natural gas ultimately should be exported to higher cost areas and even domestically it can be substituted for oil - maybe not in the short term but in the long term. Reply

    And what about the relationship between natural gas prices and oil? At some point natural gas starts to substitute for oil. Reply

    If you study the timing of the leak in the Independence Hub you should see that the price of Natgas was heading lower into the shoulder season. The leaks removal of 1 billion cubic feet per day caused the spike which lasted until the Hub was fixed and reached full production. At the same time that the Hub was cranking up, 200 million cubic feet per day of new production came on line from Thunderhorse. Natgas is domestic and plentiful so it should be decoupled from the price of crude. The only thing that could cause a spike before winter is a hurricane that actually damages infrastructure in the Gulf or I suppose scorching temperatures in the north for an extended period of time.

    Thanks for all the comments. I've been driving all day and exhausted, so all I have to say is this:

    I believe that global warming or climate change or whatever we want to refer to it is real. I believe the ice-core sample data, and I looked at two independent sets of data and understand that a third set exists which matches the other two. I also believe my own observations about what is happening in the world today. Everyone understands that climate change is cyclical. That is basic. What I believe is that burning of fossil fuels is releasing so much CO2 into the atmosphere that the cyclicality is now around a rising temperature trend line, and the slope of that trend line will exponentially increase as man increases fossil fuel usage. I'm an engineer, and I took thermodynamics and know a little bit about system analysis, so, consider this from just an objective viewpoint:

    1) man burns 85 million barrels of oil a DAY (really think about that, we throw these numbers around, but imagine 85 million barrels of oil lined up on your local interstate highway....every day).

    2) man burns who knows how much coal a day, most of it dirty

    3) at the same time of 1) & 2) we have seen, and continue to see, deforestation of the Earth

    how can the combination of 1,2, and 3 NOT have a materially impact on CO2 levels? and rising CO2 levels have been proven to affect global climate.

    So, feel free to throw your arrows my way, I can take it. At the same time, I just keep watching the ice-caps melt away, the number of major storms worldwide increasing every year, temperatures increase, and drought and water problems multiply across the planet.

    All that said, the real point of the piece is this, and alot of the comments prove it: the global warming argument is a polarizing one which prevents the REAL crisis (oil supply not keeping up with oil demand) from being addressed. We have oil at $130/barrel today and there are no real shortages yet. Wait until shortages begin to appear and panic sets in - then you'll see the price of oil really sky-rocket. At that point, I bet alot of people who doubted global warming and didnt want to do anything about it will wish they had supported it because of the economic and social disruption we are going to see due to our dependence on oil, and the subsequent lack sufficient quantities of it in the very near future.

    Satellite data shows cooling since 1998. Also if you look at temp vs CO2 charts you find temp rise leads CO2 rise. This is the opposite of what the Algorians are promoting. As an engineer you analytical skills are lacking. Reply
