Is There Enough Natural Gas?

Not part of a stand up routine...just part of a growing amount of SCIENTIFIC DATA that disputes the conventional wisdom being pasted across the national and international news. Here is a link to a graph of global temp data. Notice the DECLINE in temperature??

My point: there are scientists who are skeptics; not all agree on the concept. Taking all of the global warming "stuff" at face value is dangerous, particularly when it leads to ridiculous things like Cap and Trade legislation which will bankrupt our country. Our economy might overcome 8 years of overspending by Bush, it might, just might, overcome all of the social engineering giveaways coming from the Chosen ObammaOne, but it dang well won't overcome Cap and Trade.

Here is a snippet from another article:

"A surreal scientific blunder last week raised a huge question mark about the temperature records that underpin the worldwide alarm over global warming. On Monday, Nasa's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), which is run by Al Gore's chief scientific ally, Dr James Hansen, and is one of four bodies responsible for monitoring global temperatures, announced that last month was the hottest October on record.

This was startling. Across the world there were reports of unseasonal snow and plummeting temperatures last month, from the American Great Plains to China, and from the Alps to New Zealand. China's official news agency reported that Tibet had suffered its "worst snowstorm ever". In the US, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration registered 63 local snowfall records and 115 lowest-ever temperatures for the month, and ranked it as only the 70th-warmest October in 114 years.

So what explained the anomaly? GISS's computerised temperature maps seemed to show readings across a large part of Russia had been up to 10 degrees higher than normal. But when expert readers of the two leading warming-sceptic blogs, Watts Up With That and Climate Audit, began detailed analysis of the GISS data they made an astonishing discovery. The reason for the freak figures was that scores of temperature records from Russia and elsewhere were not based on October readings at all. Figures from the previous month had simply been carried over and repeated two months running.

The error was so glaring that when it was reported on the two blogs - run by the US meteorologist Anthony Watts and Steve McIntyre, the Canadian computer analyst who won fame for his expert debunking of the notorious "hockey stick" graph - GISS began hastily revising its figures. This only made the confusion worse because, to compensate for the lowered temperatures in Russia, GISS claimed to have discovered a new "hotspot" in the Arctic - in a month when satellite images were showing Arctic sea-ice recovering so fast from its summer melt that three weeks ago it was 30 per cent more extensive than at the same time last year."

Is There Enough Natural Gas?

Fitz: I did hear from a climatologist the other day that the atmosphere has actually been cooling for the last 7 years. I'll get a link and send it. If true, then this shows that there is a change in the cycles; how long are the cycles, is this a "bull" run in a "bear" market for CO2, don't know. But it does show that sensible scientists have different views. These aren't Rush L. or Newt; these are doctors of climatology. But while we are belittling Rush and Newt, why not belittle His Lord AlGore? He isn't a scientist and is heavily invested in making a gazillion dollars all in the name of 'saving the planet'! And while he lives a lifestyle that is so hypocritical to his state mission that he makes me want to vomit! I'd be willing to listen to others, but if AlGore is selling it, I ain't buying it! He's a hack.

On to bigger and better things. Here is a quote from a recent release from CERA related to NG substituting for coal in electricy generation:

"NORTH AMERICAN GAS PRICE FLOOR SHIFTS DOWN

Gas prices are testing the coal price floor. The latest power generation data confirm that gas-fired generation is displacing coal-fired generation. For February 2009 compared with February 2008, US total generation was down 6.9 percent, but coal was proportionately affected much more than gas: coal generation was down 13.9 percent, and gas generation was actually up 2.8 percent. The only reasonable explanation for the increase in gas-fired generation is that it is displacing coal-fired generation. This Insight updates our previous coal displacement analysis and finds that

* Lower delivered cost of coal and lower emissions allowances prices have lowered the coal displacement gas price curve by about $0.40 per million British thermal units (MMBtu).

* The starting point on the coal displacement gas price curve has
shifted downward and to the right as a consequence of a recession-induced decline in electricity demand. Specifically, with a 5 percent decline in coal generation the coal displacement gas price curve for May would essentially shift about 1.6 billion cubic feet (Bcf) per day to the right and start at $3.78 per MMBtu and decline to $2.97 MMBtu to achieve 4 Bcf per day of coal displacement.

* This supports CERA's view that substitution of gas for coal in US
power generation is both a support threshold--or floor--for US gas prices and will likely provide an important backstop for oversupply in the global gas market as liquefied natural gas seeks a market in the coming months."

The Triple Play: Oil Addicts, The Credit Crunch and Deflation

Well said Mixter. If any other industry would have lost 600,000 jobs, there would have been an uproar. Big Oil (and Little Oil) invest huge amounts of capital, employ hundreds of thousands of people and support millions of investors/shareholders... Those goofy Senators should have been kissing the feet of the oil exec's in front of them!

But, the fact that almost 50% of the people in the US voted for AlGore and will probably vote for the Marxists running for president reallys shows that a huge percentage of the US voters are clueless and ignorant to basic business acumen. Ye reap what ye sow. No drilling offshore East/West Coast or ANWR, $5/gal gasoline. No big surprise!
