Sounds just like those radicals from the eco terrorists group EARTH FIRST i regular extremists and maybe having a movie contract heading his way the kind of extremists who sounds in the same mold AL GORE and DAVID SUZUKI came from and wehn RED TED TURNER was trying to brainwash kids with crap like CAPTIAN PLANET

Captain Planet? I preferred Captain Cave Man! All I remember is that he was short covered with hair and carried a big club and yelled "Captainnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn Caaaaaaaaaave Mannnnnnnnnnn!!!"

Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels? Man, the cartoon girls in that were hot!

SUZUKI? I never pay attention to guys named after cheap Jap motorcycles.

In a few years they will be screaming about the coming ice age and putting black soot on the caps to absorb heat from the sun to warm us up.

CAPTIAN CAVMAN RULES and CAPTIAN PLANET DROLLS

The hair on his head is nothing. You should see how much hair is inside his head!

Let's hope his sulfur idea never gets beyond his personal delusion stage. It would be a supremely bad idea as we have no idea what the long-term effects might be, aside from the world of computer models.

Any student of science should know that warm is better for agriculture than is cold.

Is this moron ready to take the responsibility of famines if he is wrong and we put too much sulfur (I believe volcanoes inject sulfur into the atmosphere as sulfur dioxide aerosols) into the atmosphere?

What happens if he gets his wish and then Mother Nature follows up with a Mt. Tambora-magnitude explosion?

[Maybe that is his ulterior motive, to produce conditions that cause the Earth's population to shrink.]

Well, he's a European. Europeans are gloating about our so-called "collapse" and can barely restrain the excitement of their schadenfreude.

It is only now, slowly, entering their neuron pathways that they are as screwed as we are. It will even more slowly occur to them that, actually, Europe will be much more screwed than America in the long-term as deleveraging its way around the world.

Watch and savor the moment as the European Union withers away, rendered what it already is: a name, an office building, and a bureaucracy, in charge of nothing.

Dentures and a comb?

Why would a horses ass need dentures and a comb?

He thinks it's a good thing that the economy's in trouble?
A couple months ago, I lost my job because the problems with our economy forced the relatively small hardware store I worked for to make budget cuts! At least one other coworker of mine was also let go at the same time, and I just found out today that many of the employees still there have had their hours cut back for the same reason!
You gonna tell me that's a good thing, Crutzen?

"[Maybe that is his ulterior motive, to produce conditions that cause the Earth's population to shrink.]"

That HAS been suggested by certain Liberals (No need to point the finger, they know who they are)

You're right, MEGA, the EU had invested a lot in the American mortgage industry when it was booming and now they're hurting. I gave the EU 15-20 years at best after they started, but now

Maybe we should tell them that when oil becomes too expensive, people burn wood.

got that greenies. they chop down live trees and burn them for FREE... or they buy 4 cords and get that dirt cheap. their houses are not generally made to burn it efficiently because they used to use oil, and so they waste most of it to get the same heat... but its FREE...

so not only will MORE stuff go into the air since trees are 1/6th as efficient as oil in the BEST cases... it will also take a live carbon scrubber out of service for a 100 or more years.

Greenie points are not that green...

meanwhile, anyone search and find out what the green libertarian party is?

oh those fun greenies, they dont knwo what they are supporting, do they?

Yep, Kharn, that's what I was thinking - European banks and investors are very exposed to bad mortgage debt in the US. In addition, some European country economies stand to get crushed in the event of a severe slowdown in US consumer spending, which now seems to be getting started, due to their overreliance on exports to the US.

The same is, of course, true of developing economies. Was it not 3 weeks ago that we were hearing about how the BRIC economies were immune to the US? They are collapsing much faster and deeper than the US stock market. Certainly wouldn't want to be a holder of Russian equities right now.

But of course, the best news is the extreme shock being experienced in the OPEC countries. Not only are some of them major MBS holders; oil is in a near-freefall. I have a feeling we won't be seeing too much smugness from Venezuela starting in a couple weeks.

So there is some upside. Not enough upside to feel good about a situation that's hurting a lot of good people here in the US, but the fact is, some of our enemies are taking full body-slams right now. We are strong and tough enough to get through this, but they may not be.

This crisis may be the thing that finally knocks oil back to $30 a barrel and keeps it there. It sounds far-fetched, but we're already half-way there.

Europe is in deep doodoo right now, and in the long term it's even deeper because of their demographic problem. We will at least have some young people to carry on.

The only good things that may come out of a credit and economic collapse would be that all relatively sane people will see the environuttery for what it is, and the EU will either be marginalized or abandoned altogether.

Obviously, this crisis has been long in the making and has been growing steadily worse, but I find it more than a little suspicious that the crap finally hit the fan just six weeks before the election. We knew that Fannie and Freddie had been hiding billions in losses four years ago. Why did it take until now to explode?

I just hope some crazy Moonbat scientist doesnt try and pull a "12 Monkeys" on us. If youve seen the movie - if it happened for real it would mean the end of the human race since Im not counting on time travel to save us.

"Maybe we should tell them that when oil becomes too expensive, people burn wood."

Agreed. Did you know that the famous Vienna Woods was wipped out after World War One because the Austrians needed fuel? It would be a shame to see out state and national forests go down the memory hole.
