I have been a welder/fabricator for 25 years now.  
My biggest secret is I have applied for a job with a company that make wind turbines.  
I'll have a green job so I will be better than all of you.  ;D

Question..
Will it get you through to retirement though. ?
Joke..
Oh, and please do not claim in the near future that the cooling the globe will probably be experiencing is due to
all your hard work building wind turbines..  ;D
I'm sure you will beaten to that by the politicans anyway.. :

Derek I hope so.  I am completely aware that I have more days behind me than ahead.  I have been working for a family owned interest.  Now that the owners kids are getting involved I just don't like where the business is headed.  My town is a pretty depressed town.  Always has and always will.  If you are not of the union mentality then pretty much screwed.  The company coming into Pueblo is a European company.  It is the best new chance to come to this area in a long time.  If it doesn't last for 15 years I think I will still be in a better position then if I stayed where I am.  I have had the same thoughts as you, but they are investing a ton of money in this facility so I think they will be around for awhile.

I realized what is causeing global warming. It is the waste heat from welding. with the economic downturn less welding has occured therefore the globe is cooling. The runaway warming only started after welding became a majof factor in construction! ;D

Not only the heat involved but the cover gas I use is a CO2/argon mix.  So my carbon footprint is more than most. 

You're nuts! I have a 20 and 17 year old and I sure would NOT want a 4 year old.

Non traditional student who returned to college, Western Carolina University,  after a very long absence, to study Environmental Science. 

Along with my interest in learning about real climate science, I have a long time interest in alternate energy, solar wind, and micro hydro, along with fuel cells, alternate methods of hydrogen production, and photosynthesis.

I just landed an internship through U.S. Department of Energy, at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory,  Sequim, Washington,  Marine Sciences Laboratory, doing work on microalgae for biofuels. 

My permanent home is the Great Smoky Mountains, in a tiny home town, where the corn made into alcohol is not used for fuel but for medicinal purposes.

Quote:I am up against a lot of Al Gore worshipers.  I have to stay informed.

That is funny because YOU are already more educated than Al Gore,yet he is followed around like a puppy despite that he is the most debunked climate alarmist in the entire world! While you have to work hard to voice any rational skepticism of AGW hypothesis in their presence.

This is why skeptical forums like this one was created for the general public,to help those who are honestly looking some valid science information.To ask questions and discuss them in a forum format.

With your science background,you are in a position to explicate information to the public who lack a science background to figure it out by themselves.That is why I have a "Worthy article's to read" thread designed for those who want a fairly easy to understand science presentation to read.To promote better skeptics who are reading information from a more scientific standpoint.

Hopefully you can help us to educate the public who are still looking for climate science information.

I am a controller in private industry. Got my BS in accounting, MBA, and now over a decade later, I just passed the CPA exam.

At home, I'm married with two daughters, ages 3 & 11 months. I currently reside in Germantown, TN.

I started scrapping with AGW believers on the internet over six years ago. I was so irate over a crossword puzzle on the side of a pint-sized carton of milk (intentionally targeting kids) that I started a website called "anti-environmental.com," which was an over-the-top cheap-shot at everything environmental. I shut it down years ago out of frustration that no scientists would step up to the mic. That wouldn't happen for another two or three years.

I later moved my forum I started to another domain name, which I still run. But I'm about to shut it down as I gear up for something completely different: a comic strip. I wanted to do it when I started anti-environmental.com, but it was going to be too difficult to manage. Today's software, however, makes it easy. I think this is better approach for an overly facetious character like myself.

I refer to AGW as the first cyberwar of the information age. Maybe history will record it differently, I dunno. But I've tried a few different things, and I've decided that this is where I can be most effective.

Sad that I've concluded that a comic strip can be more effective than actual science, but hey, that's the world that we....

...OMG!!! Michael Jackson is out on the street singing "Thriller!!!" And he's dead!!! OMG!!!

You get what I'm saying. MJ's death trumped the largest tax increase in American history. Facts don't have the influence that they once did.

In short, I still need to vent from time to time, so I'll be around. But I also need to laugh at the whole thing. Maybe we all need to. After all, when you look at the total picture of AGW & realize what we're all being asked to believe, you have to just laugh at how absurd it is.

When I start rolling out the comics, I'll post a link. I'm shooting for September 1st. Until then, I'll be lurking around here.

AEGeneral

Welcome to the forum.

I am pleased that you still working on a new fight against the absurdity that AGW is.An area not commonly considered in the fight against the environmentalist lies and deliberate misrepresentations they spew out.I hope it works out for you.

Can you make a post at your forum asking your members to come here,before you shut down the forum? It looks like I will no longer be able to post there soon,I did two this morning.

When your new cartoon based forum comes around,you are invited to post here telling us about it.

We have a section here for climate cartoons too and another one for political cartoons as well.Maybe you can post in them once in a while?

Well anyway glad to see you here.

I've already told them I'm not paying for their weddings. The baby seemed to be fine with it, but I had to buy the other one off with a bowl of chocolate ice cream.

Yeah, they tell you about the terrible twos, but they never tell you the threes are far worse.  :o

Image over substance.A very good reason why they offer so little to the table on climate issues.Often a simple prick of the celebrity balloon and the ugliness comes pouring out.

Very sad.

Hello AE General,
Are you the AE General I remember from the old forum "here".
If so, do you have copies of some of your old posts / pieces.
If memory serves me correctly they were great pieces.
They could of been posts in a thread somewhere else, I'm not sure.

The cartoon idea sounds great, maybe you should start your own thread here in the gazebo.

Honestly I am having so much fun with that four year old.  My oldest is beginning to emerge from that teenage haze where the parental units are the stupidest thing on the planet.  The haze is showing signs of beginning to gather around my 12 year old.  My four year old is just plain fun.  That is my favorite age for kids.

Done.

I didn't use a hyperlink because I get my fair share of spam robots. No need in overloading you guys since I'm sure you get your share as well.

hey guys, I'll be honest, I didn't take any heed to his 'environmental' craze until i was deluged by the media about recycling, windmills, solar energy, doom and gloom from 'global warming', and lastly what really got my goat was this earth day nonsense.

I decided that was enough and began searching on the web for any forums that would discuss anything anti environment.  that is when I found AE's website, and later on SST joined AE's forum and invited me over here.  Been here since.

I work at a University (University of Calgary), and believe me it is almost sickening watching these students being taught what to think rather than how to think.  There is even an 'eco club' on campus, :barf:

I also got my hands slapped for introducing a link to noteviljustwrong.com in my email sig at work.  Someone complained that a person in IT should not be broadcasting their political views across campus, so I was asked to remove it, which I did.  But I have the satisfaction in knowing that before that occured the emails i've sent out (and there is alot of them) reached a wide audience, even in the president's office.

;D

Mcclane I just have to ask.  Are the Flames going to keep Bertuzzi?

So far we have had ZERO spam robots to deal with.

Thanks for sending them here.I went to your site yesterday and was surprised at your shutting it down.

No prob. I've enjoyed doing it over the years, but I can't do everything I want to do. Just not enough hours in the day when you have two kids.
