    Global weather madness

    I read it, it told me the same thing it told you: there's a mean 3.65 million bbls available there. According to the math, based on 3 year old numbers, 3.65 million bbls is 1/180th of what will be required to satisfy America's demand over the next 90 years (assuming constant demand over that...

    Global weather madness

    I understand what you're saying - my point was that nearly everyone on this planet burns fossil fuels to stay warm, and I'll add that we all breathe each others exhaust - yours just happens to be a particularly good example of what we all are doing to our only source of air.

    Global weather madness

    If by 'us' you mean Kentucky residents, then, maybe, as: United States — Oil - Consumption: 20.73 million bbl/day (2004 est.) 20.73 million per day * 365 = 7.5 billion per year = you'll need 179 more formations of this size to cover the next 90 years of demand, in the US only. There is a...

    Fun day

    It's been ridiculously hot here the past few days, 95+, humid, you get the picture, went out anyway yesterday - loving my mesh jacket. :D

    Global weather madness

    Look, even if you don't want to 'believe' in 'human caused global climate change', surely you must want to do something to prepare for the end of the Oil Age. Or is that a conspiracy too? As it would happen, the action needed for either applies to both: stop. burning. dinosaurs.

    Global weather madness

    For starters Paragraph 2: I agree, sort of. One only needs to look at Venus to see what mass quantities of CO2 will do to a planet, sure, it's closer to the Sun, but its temperatures are much, much higher than mere proximity would provide. On to the 'agree' part. Doing patently stupid...

    Global weather madness

    The ozone layer problem is unrelated to the CO2 level problem, other than the detrimental effect both have on all (current) life on Earth. The ozone layer is a high level (10 to 50 km above the Earth) layer of O3 (aka: ozone, go figure), but the concentration of the layer is quite low - if the...

    Global weather madness

    Odd then that your take is in line with the 2% of scientists left that don't agree that 1) the climate is changing and 2) that change has been caused by mankind. Looking back over the last 600,000 years, as they can and have with ice coring, CO2 levels have never, ever been as high as they...

    Ladies and Gentlemen, lest we all forget....

    And spitting on soldiers because you disagree with the war they've been ordered into is...? Jane may be the poster child of treason from that era, but she was far from alone.

    Anybody going to see Kid Rock???

    Four HUNDRED dollars? I wouldn't pay $400 to see The Doors perform, with all the original members.

    Which fuel?

    Times 100 fillups = one mod you don't get because you threw your money away. I'll get :spank: for this but...'the best' gas is the one that is compatible with your engine, which is not necessarily the highest priced gas. The highest priced gas is the highest octane, octane levels determine...

    Warm up time

    Gear up, hop on, as I'm rolling down the driveway, I hit the go button. It's usually warmed up by the time I get out of my subdivision and on to the 'big' roads.

    Think you're invisible on your bike?

    Yikes! I do, as you guessed, do tend to think of city streets for riding. Something between 25 and 40 mph. That's exactly why I don't ride my bike anymore...I've already worn a groove into the roads in my subdivision and it's too dangerous to leave (55+ on all roads surrounding me) There...

    I saw you, Blue, 2006+, Sugar Grove, IL

    South bound on 47, I was on Wheeler (Just North of the BP Station) East bound, I was approaching the light and beeped, but you were already down the road about 50 yards.
