<p>You know, it seems that the most vocal advocates for rationalizing this whole GW discussion is the rural electric co-ops and utilities. Take the Wisconsin Energy Cooperative for example - their newsletter continues to bring to light (pun intended!) the fact that GW/CO2 hyperbole is just that. This latest news item has some interesting quotes from Reid A. Bryson, Emeritus Professor of Meteorology from the U of Wisconsin. The guy's been around for a few decades, he knows the score regarding climate change and man's supposed impact. Here's a snippet you'll never see in the MSM, yet it's one that would turn the public opinion on the subject if it ever was allowed into MSM circulation......</p><p>"<strong>Q</strong>: Could you rank the things that have the most significant impact and where would you put carbon dioxide on the list?</p><p align="justify"><strong>A</strong>: Well let me give you one fact first. In the first 30 feet of the atmosphere, on the average, outward radiation from the Earth, which is what CO2 is supposed to affect, how much [of the reflected energy] is absorbed by water vapor? In the first 30 feet, 80 percent, okay?</p><p align="justify"><strong>Q:</strong> Eighty percent of the heat radiated back from the surface is absorbed in the first 30 feet by water vapor...</p><p align="justify"><strong>A</strong>: And how much is absorbed by carbon dioxide? <strong>Eight hundredths of one percent</strong>. One one-thousandth as important as water vapor. You can go outside and spit and have the same effect as doubling carbon dioxide." (bold face mine)</p><p align="justify"><a href="http://www.wecnmagazine.com/2007issues/may/may07.html#1">http://www.wecnmagazine.com/2007issues/may/may07.html#1</a></p><p align="justify">(Link courtesey of Drudge Report)</p><p align="justify">Back to WECN.....</p><p align="justify">It is somewhat twisted that it is the rural co-ops and utilities that are making the effort to educate the public on the fraud of anthropogenic global warming, while the railroads whose lifeblood is coal are silent on the issue. These are the same railroads who are screwing over the co-ops with captive pricing. </p><p align="justify">Do you see the irony here? The co-ops may be the ones who save the day for the railroads via <em>un</em>demonizing coal, and yet the railroads seem hell-bent to try to put them out of business.</p><p align="justify">Et tu, Brute?</p><p> </p>
