Is going green the right thing to do?

“Going Green” is the wave of the future for most major companies. Helping to cut down on the use of fossil fuels and reduce pollution are the major goals of going green. Many of these big companies use a lot on energy, but now they’re changing the way they operate to help prevent the risk of global warming for our future generations. Hewlard Packard, Toyota and many more major companies are changing their operating procedures to help the environment.

Will this actually benefit our world for future generations?

One company that stands out for going green is Toyota. Their new Prius hybrid is very fuel efficient -- it gets about 48 miles per gallon, a 40% increase in fuel efficiency over average vehicles. Another benefit is lowered emissions. Emissions can be reduced from 25% to 90%, when comparing hybrid cars to conventional gas-powered vehicles. The good thing about it is that it reduces gas emissions and slows down global warming. This is a great way to help save the environment and improve our overall quality of life.

Who doesn’t like saving money these days? Hewlard Packard, the second largest company based on sales, is going green on almost all of their computers. What does this mean for you? The biggest benefit would be having a computer that would consume about 40% less energy than a non “green” computer, which, in return, would make your electric bill a lot cheaper. If you’re on your computer as much as I am, that would be a big savings for you. The other great reason for buying a green PC would be, it will be manufactured with almost all recycled parts. The more we recycle, the less waste we will use and the better it will be for our environment for not only us, but our future generations as well.

I do not have enough time to explain all the facts that make global warming a giant hoax perpetrated to tax United States companies and individuals through the insidious "Cap and Trade" or carbon tax legislation proposed by Congress. The rest of the world, that represents 77% of the energy consumption, will not participate. Hitler once said "The bigger the lie, and the more often you tell the lie, the more people will believe it". Approximately 3% of the carbon dioxide, 8% of methane, and 5% of nitrous oxide emissions are man made. Carbon dioxide is only a minor greenhouse gas—95% of the greenhouse effect is from water vapor and clouds. The rest occur naturally because they are vital to life on earth. Increased CO2 levels actually benefits nature by increasing photosynthesis in plants, which, in turn, causes more forestation and increased oxygen output.

As any geologist would know, 450 million years ago, when carbon dioxide levels were ten times higher than today, the earth went into an ice age. We have only warmed .6 of one degree C. in the last 100 years, and that was during the industrial revolution. Temperatures in 1938 were the warmest in recorded history. Temperatures all over the planet have been cooling since 1998, and the polar ice caps are growing at a rapid pace.

Don’t forget the same goofballs in the 1970’s were predicting an ice age in 10 years. Global warming is a giant boondoggle perpetrated by the Marxist/Leninist far left Democratic Party, along with biased, sycophantic and complicit media. This is simply a power grab by socialists, and a vehicle for the redistribution of wealth. When all is said and done, it boils down to this: for the bargain price of just $300 trillion of your money, we could theoretically lower global mean temperature by about 1 degree C., and even that 1 degree C is debatable.
