Yeah, because the large oil companies aren't spending billions a year in alternative-fuel research...oh wait! Why exactly are you on a DSM board instead of a Civic board?

So you agreed with me, then you called me a ricer...thats pretty deep there buddy. Is there anything worse to say to a dsmstyle member?A good come back s2 would have been this http://www.iter.org/ you could say, look they are doing something. Just not in the US. AND a way to reverse the situation http://www.futurepundit.com/archives/002222.html I'd like drunken robots and name callers to refrain posting in this thread.

Oh one last thing for those of you who check out the first link, lol, remeber the new spiderman movie? Remember tritium? doc oc wanted it to use in his fusion reactor. the fusion reactor that peter parker the smart person said wouldnt work. and sure enough in the movie the reactor blows up, luckily not owning new york. Talk about controlling the public. if i went out and asked someone about tritium they would say "oh that was in a spiderman movie!"

Vicious, where is the proof that the inland glaciers are melting? I have seen a lot of mixed evidence out there. The average temperature of the earth as a whole has not changed much since they were able to keep accurate records.

Looking at the other side of things, what if the earth is able to "cleanse" itself much more than most people realize? Weather patterns seem to go in a 70 year cycle.

I'm glad we are talking about this, I just saw a show on the Discovery Science channel about this a few minutes ago. It was called "The Big Chill". Look for it, it explains alot. They stated directly that Iceland's (or Greenland's, can't remember which) glaciers are melting and receeding at a rate of 12 kilometers a year. Maybe a decade ago they were receeding at 6 kilometers a year, so the rate has doubled in recent times. In the next 50 years the waters that dump into the Atlantic Ocean from several rivers will double due to global warning, which will dilute the salt water and slow or stop the "conveyer".

I've heard that Europe will suffer an extreme drop in temperatures due to shifts in the oceans' currents.

Hey hippie, read into my sarcasm...I was saying they ARE spending billions of dollars per year on alternative fuel research. That is part of the reason why our gas prices are so high right now. I believe BP is leading that pack.

joesushi · 03-23-2006

What the frick is this. "oil peak" GAS is expensive because they are discovering 1 barrel of oil for every 2 they make. Asian countries are starting to gulp down oil now cuz everyone is getting a car. supply demand, NOT alternative fuel research, lol, ur funny. google oil peak you'll understand. anyways im done with this i was trying to have constructive conversations.

s2 why dont you show everyone the "billions of dollars" in alternative fuel research by oil companies and why that is the reason for expensive gas.

That'd be cool as I have also read about oil companies dumping money into alternative fuel research, but I have yet to see anything which links those R&D expenditures to the high crude oil prices.

**Kracka** · 03-23-2006

Lets see, if they are spending a lot is sure as hell isn't coming out of their pocket. So you're saying with every oil cycle the supply is being cut in half? Nonesense.

iceminion · 03-23-2006

he said discovering 1 barrel per 2 farmed...oil is more sparce snd spread out....the earth will never run out of oil, it will become too costly to supply the worlds demands....THAT is a known fact.

Enough with the name calling

joesushi · 03-23-2006

You already said that. I read your links, there are always 2 sides to an argument and sometimes neither side is right.

Pwned!!!

**Kracka** · 03-23-2006

http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/...s/3736826.html BP alone plans to spend $8 billion over the next decade.

You don't need a scientist to tell you about global warming. Just look at what winter was like ten years ago in Minnesota compared to this year. It really is rather sadening. I remember being able to make tunnels in my front yard throught the snow, now its a rarity to have to shovel. Pretty soon we'll forget all about snow, 10 more years, thats my bet.
