When someone continually jumps on my back because he has a lack of manners, it gets a little annoying. I will turn the other cheek as I previously have done so,so many times. But I will not roll over and play dead. HW's  ignorance and actions are overwhelming and greatly reduces the enjoyment that this forum has to offer.

I sincerely hope that Dave finally does do something to alleviate this continual problem. It is now many months old, and until now, I have said nothing of HW in spite of his many outbursts and personal attacks against me. I notice that until I retaliated, no mention was made of his continual bad behavior.

You and everyone else who is as fed up with this situation as I am, can do something about it. Whenever a posting is made, in which aspersions are made and it is a blatant violation of the forum rules, click on the "report to moderator" box at the end of the thread. Voice your objection to the thread that offends you. If enough people did this, perhaps Dave will take charge and the people who continually hijack these threads with their foul language and personal attacks will stop acting like idiots.

In the mean time, I don't feel like being the personal punching bag for this idiot, and I will say whatever is necessary to alleviate the problem. I hope Dave does shut this down, it certainly has gone on far too long.

Gard:  You will notice I addressed both of parties.  One handed clapping is just a lot of wasted motion.  When two hands are involved, noise is generated.

Back to the discussion...  Is CO2 a product of global warming or is it the cause of global warming??

The answer is critical for our future direction and economy (Way of life too)

Yada/Babble...............Yada/Babble................Yada/Babble.............

Of course you have done nothing wrong, you are always so polite in your attacks, I'm sorry O' great one. Just go back and read who started the personal attacks please.

Well............weather patterns are in a cooling stage now, and we are still emitting CO2 so it's not causing "climate change" and CO2 has been around for millions of years, so I don't see how it can be a product of "climate change". I think if you look towards the sun you will find the answer to the "climate change" phenom.

Tx ... I can't remember who was the first, but the oil production decline in the USA has been well documented as "Peak oil"  The new question is "has peak oil been reached globally"?.

I think not. (I have no professional credibility in this field)  The only reason I have is the increase in oil price.  As the price of oil increases, the amount of Economically recoverable oil also increases.  Countering this trend is the increased conservation.  Somewhere in between is the steady state rate of recovery.

Witness the tar sands of Canada.  When a barrel of oil could be pumped from Saudi Arabia for $3, the Tar sands were worthless.  At $140 per barrel, there's a boom in Alberta.

High Prices makes the impossible merely difficult.

I would bet the oil produced in Tx stays in Texas refineries.  Then,  it goes to the world markets.  More importantly, the money paid for the Texas oil goes to Texans not Saudis.  (unless the Saudis have bought Texas oil land)

The person was making their own statement, Gard, and voicing their opinion.  Which is what this thread was about until you said "WOW" and drew conclusionary statements of fact that no one had mention before - just so you could then have a stronger position to claim she was wearing rose colored glasses.

If you disagree that is fine . . . but please, if you single out a poster, set the stage with statements that were not made - then . . cast the first stone - don't be surprised if you get some backlash.

I for one, will NOT less this turn into a Sunday night brawl, and I'm sorry.  It was a good thread till the personal attacks.
