Global Warming?

[Rob-D]

When someone is making a fool of himself I can but get out of the way. You have proven your own intellect far better than I could ever do.

Really?

Then explain this to me, why would you think that I would be "wondering" about your opinion of my intellect?

And Rob wonders why I don't take his intellect serious.
For those who took the time to read his link, induction furnaces are simply reheat furnaces. To make steel and copper the ore runs through a blast furnace (fueled by coke (modified coal)) and then a Basic oxygen furnace or open hearth furnace (steel) or refining process (copper). Rob has demonstrated he knows near nothing about making steel copper or aluminum. As an aside it takes about 30 times the energy to reduce 1 pound of aluminum from ore as opposed to melting 1 pound of recycled aluminum, and the current has to pass through the furnace so induction won't work.
I asked for subsidies and he give me tax credits, not the same thing!
He rants about Man made Global Warming but after 30 years of research no specifics on how much man's activities actually do affect the climate. From what I can tell whether or not CO2 lags or leads some of the the biggest temp increases is still debated.

I've been trying to figure out if he does not read things or just can't comprehend what he reads. Mostly if it does not fit his narrow agenda, it can't possible count or be any good.

In 2009 we had a mico burst that almost destroyed this mobile home. It had to be moved over 14" and then pulled up square.

Using lumber (90%) from a building that blew down in the same storm an EXO-Skeliton was built around it. It is now better than when it was new.

Wonder how much pollution was not made, over building a new home or a new mobile home.

Mobile homes are not made as strong as the home I built here using 2x6"- 16". I've seen mobile homes that have deteriorated, the framing is 2x4 -24 o/c with the roof trussed at a pitch of 4/12 using 2x4 lumber.
When the wind blows and we've seen 50 mph gusts (the house is rated much higher), it doesn't make a sound. The roof is a 40# snow load, actually more, and the roof insulation factor is over R60. What happened to your mobile home would very likely not have affected mine.

Also that mobile home was initially made with stock lumber not salvaged. Is that T-111 on the outside salvaged?

Now let's get back to the wood you burn that you think puts out the same pollution as wood decaying on the ground. Remember that statement?

What you don't like is my constant disproof of statements like that.

And let's not forget that you're using coal to power your house and I'm using PV.

So you tell me who's doing the polluting?

I just watched an episode of south park today. It's very funny and related to this thread. If you have netflix its season 10 episode 2 I believe, and called smug alert. Check it out if you can

50 MPH wind are real common around here. 65 MPH not unusual. Been like that almost daily for the past 2 months.


First off it was not my home. It belongs to someone that lives about 400 yards from me. My place held up fine. Didn't even know that the micro burst had hit. 1 mile south of me a metal tractor shed (50+) years old was destroyed and parts never found. Farm also lost several trees about 8' in diameter.

He was actually pretty lucky. Mobile home a 1/2 mile away were completely destroyed. Several power line poles were also snapped off. At my place it picked up and moved a cast iron outdoor stove.

Yes the T-111 was new. Got it at Lowe's, some they had gotten by mistake and were eager to get rid of. Cost was less than 1/2 of their normal price.

You keep harping on my wood stove. And you have only proven that you know nothing about a wood stove. Once warmed up and adjusted there is no visible smoke coming out.

Even the EPA admits that they are carbon neutral.

I know you love to brag about how green you are and no one can meet you high standards. Rest of us are just to stupid to do anything right.

No, but it shows the danger when everyone starts driving hybrids. I just happened to see it today, and I thought of this thread.

 

[Rob-D]

OK guys, I have to get back to work for awhile at least. I'm not concentrating on this new circuit and it's turning to rubble.

No hard feelings, remember we all love our tractors, that goes for Gas and Crash too. Life is too short to get angry...

Best to all,
Rob

I was talking to some people who know these things and they told me this country is now so bought and paid for that it is finished as a republic.

I saw "smug alert." It was pretty funny.
