[quote]“The time for delay is over; the time for denial is over,” he said on Tuesday after meeting with former Vice President Al Gore, who won a Nobel Peace Prize for his work on global warming.
“We all believe what the scientists have been telling us for years now that this is a matter of urgency and national security and it has to be dealt with in a serious way.”[/quote]
Shouldn’t an author specify who is speaking in a direct quote? The ‘he’ in the first sentence isn’t identified. Is this the sort of journalism one finds on Fox News?
Here is an article on the same subject that shows how to quote correctly … http://change.gov/newsroom/entry/president_elect_on_energy_and_climate_the_time_for_denial_is_over/
The real story is that President Elect Obama will nominate Steven Chu, a Nobel Prize winning physicist to head the Department of Energy. See Steven Chu, Energy Secretary? (VIDEO) | HuffPost Latest News

The story was off the AP wire.

OK. Then I guess the AP’s Seth Borenstein should learn how to quote.
Seemed pretty clear to me that the quote was made by Obama.
So we are all now even more doomed than they said we were only two years ago.
Obama will vote present again instead of doing anything. Can he really though?
I hope the earth warms up, I hate winter. Fuck cold weather.
I will do my part to warm the earth up. I think I take the catalytic converters off of my car. I bet I could get 10 more hp by removing that shit.

Actually cats increase CO2 output. They reduce Toxic gases (several of which are converted TO CO2).

A three-way catalytic converter has three simultaneous tasks:
Reduction of nitrogen oxides to nitrogen and oxygen: 2NOx → xO2 + N2
Oxidation of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide: 2CO + O2 → 2CO2
Oxidation of unburnt hydrocarbons (HC) to carbon dioxide and water: CxH2x+2 + 2xO2 → xCO2 + 2xH2O
In the first reaction, we reduce the amount of nitrous oxide, which is actually a very potent green house gas. It has a global warming potential 310 times greater than CO2 (by mass).
In the second reaction, CO is almost as effective a green house gas as CO2. CO isn’t stable and will naturally decompose into CO2 (as long as global warming doesn’t reach 700 C anyhow) So the CO will naturally decay into C)2.
In the third reaction, we create CO2, but methane (the x=1 case) is much more effective than CO2 as a green house gas.
So, a catalytic converter does a great deal of good in reducing greenhouse gases.
A few interesting points here on the global warming myth:
Another one worth a look.
If you want a bunch of info and sources, check out “The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming”. Pretty good book with a lot of referenses.
Environmental Overkill is another good one. global warming is only one of the environmental issues addressed.
