A Superstar!

Geothermal energy has a lot of potential. I have begun the process of converting my household heating and cooling system to utilize geothermal properties.

This reminds me of an episode of Futurama where aliens threaten to raise the temperature of Earth by 1 million degrees every day until the humans bring back a 1000-year-old sitcom.

That show was solid. FOX should have kept Futurama and ditched Family Guy once it went downhill.

What a buffoon, and to believe that some people still listen to him with sincerity - there's one born every minute.

This must be the weekly, 'let's deny GW' thread. LOL. GW exists regardless of whether AlGore is a showboating opportunist or not.

GW exists regardless of whether AlGore is a showboating opportunist or not.

Of course it exists. It occurs in 130,000 year cycles of warming and cooling.

Unfortunately Redman, that is not what the reliable science currently indicates has been happening over the last fifty to one hundred years.

There's also enough reliable science that says 50-100 years is an insignificant time period to measure long-term climate trends.

Wonder why we haven't melted yet? Must be the steel in our structure - YOU CAN'T MELT STEEL!

Aw shit nanc, you're going to get Batshit Bob prattling on about his 9/11 fantasies again.

#10 - forgive me, sometimes I cannot help myself!

Puhleaseeeeeeeeeee it is mighty hot in the earths center but no Millions of degrees. There has only been 2 times in all Earth that the Temprature reached 1 Million degrees.

That and it is sometimes difficult to keep from howling out my ring-around-the-rosie-red o'donnell scream...FIRE CAN'T MELT STEEL!

p.s. - just saw that she and her wife are divorcing...

was one of them after you ate chili?

Damn You Axiom I have had Chilli on My mind this whole month. I want some so badly I am half tempted to get some despite My flaming ulcer. That being said NO it has NOTHING to do with Me eating chilli. Try Hiroshama and Nagasaki

Who needs geothermal energy. If we simply harness the hot air coming out of Al Gore we should be able to completely do away with all other heating sources. Think of the wonderful science progress that would have been made had Al Gore become president.

I want some so badly I am half tempted to get some despite My flaming ulcer.

You can't go 'get' good chili. It can only be made at home.

I have to agree with goatman on the "get good chili".

I've made backpacker chili using the powdered mixes from the store, dehydrated hamburger and 3 different cooked then dehydrated beans.

It was worlds better than anything Wendy's sells in a paper cup. Maybe you have a hole in the wall joint that sells great chili though.

nahhhhhh i just go buy a few cans of chilli without beans and eat it out of the can. No dirty dishes that way and no use of electric nor Natural Gas.

Larry

A core temperature of 1 million degrees is a naturally occurring, cyclic event. Man has no control over it.

These "scientists" and their phony numbers are only taking into account what their so-called instruments currently read, not past temperatures. And some of those instruments are located near slurpy machines! They purposely put them there so that the reading would be skewed to the low end. They even admit they don't know the actual temperature, 'between 4000-6000'....HA That's very precise, Copernicus. So it might be more, it might not, but they don't know for sure.

I have a white paper in front of me put out by the Exxon-DuPont-Monsanto-Phillip Morris corporation that states not only is the Earth's temperature more than we think, but that a 1,000,000 degree core temp would actually be beneficial to making profits, therefore, mankind. Take that you "peer-reviewed" pikers!

Noel Sheppard is only peddling this "hysteria" to make money for himself. He is a failed businessman and a failed journalist. Now he has developed an international-- NWO --tax scheme whereby he caps-and-trades misinformation in the free market. Should anyone misspeak or deliberately lie, they owe him. This is just a shakedown.

Try Hiroshama and Nagasaki

Close, but no cigar. The temperature of the atomic bomb of hiroshima was 300,000 degrees centigrade. (approx 540,000 F)

Even the hot air coming out of Fat Albert's ass has never reached a million degrees.

You guys are so ignorant in your lame attemts to bash this American hero and scientist.

He meant Several Million Degrees G - or Gore. He's got his own temperature scale, bitches. The increments are very small - so small in fact that all temperatures on the Gore scale are given as rough estimates. So 6000 C = Several Million G. Or 80 F = A Butt Ton G.

Chili in a can. Gag, Larry! I use it only on hot dogs and Frito pie. I can't eat it straight.

The only thing I've ever used canned chili for is for mixing with a bunch of cheese in a crock pot and using as a dip.

I use a full, un-opened cans of chili to throw at people that ride their bikes in the street when I don't happen to have a piping hot cup of java to throw at them.

LoD,

Canned Chili is beyond repulsive with one notable excepion:

Tony Packo's

Even without doctoring it serves as a quality quick-fix toward a poorly-planned party.

Although it pales in comparison with the real deal (On-site Packo's chili is insanely good) It STILL is quite good in a domestic-setting.

The problem is that it's a regional specialty.

Hey it tastes good to me and it gets in My belly so that takes care of the main thing. FILLING the gut.

HOUSE # 1:

A 20-room mansion (not including 8 bathrooms) heated by natural gas. Add on a pool (and a pool house) and a separate guest house all heated by gas. In ONE MONTH ALONE this mansion consumes more energy than the average American household in an ENTIRE YEAR. The average bill for electricity and natural gas runs over $2,400.00 per month. In natural gas alone (which last time we checked was a fossil fuel), this property consumes more than 20 times the national average for an American home. This house is not in a northern or Midwestern "snow belt," either. It's in the South.

HOUSE # 2:

Designed by an architecture professor at a leading national university, this house incorporates every "green" feature current home construction can provide. The house contains only 4,000 square feet (4 bedrooms) and is nestled on arid high prairie in the American southwest. A central closet in the house holds geothermal heat pumps drawing ground water through pipes sunk 300 feet into the ground. The water (usually 67 degrees F.) heats the house in winter and cools it in summer. The system uses no fossil fuels such as oil or natural gas, and it consumes 25% of the electricity required for a conventional heating/cooling system. Rainwater from the roof is collected and funneled into a 25,000 gallon underground cistern. Wastewater from showers, sinks and toilets goes into underground purifying tanks and then into the cistern. The collected water then irrigates the land surrounding the house. Flowers and shrubs native to the area blend the property into the surrounding rural landscape.

Even without doctoring it serves as a quality quick-fix toward a poorly-planned party.

Last party I went to, I went with a cheap ass bleu cheese buffalo chicken dip off of a can of Swanson canned chicken. (I even used pre-crumbled bleu cheese from Wal-Mart, don't hate me for it)

NANC!!!! NO!!!!!

You KNOW BB's just waiting to pounce, and then we'll all have to endure an eternal litany of YouTube links.......and then it'll be on to having two separate countries....ad nauseum....

Let's keep those cats in their bags, please!
In fact, screw the bags, keep them in an air-tight container so they suffocate.

*The ASPCA would like to note that TheTom was speaking metaphorically, and was not advocating the actual suffocation of actual cats.

FIRE CAN'T MELT STEEL!

We are a world full of minerals that cannot be melted even under millions of degrees!

oops! AND METALS!

Spokeane,
Are both of those houses Al gore houses, or is one of them Al Gores house and the other yours?

oops! AND METALS!

One house is (obviously) Al Gore's. The second house is George Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas, completed just after his inauguration. Sure as hell wish it was mine!

Back off the bullshit claim, bozo, until you actually examine the actual house. It has wide, covered verandas that help reduce heat entrance into the house, etc. Looking at a photo from space hardly counts as an examination. If you have some actual facts, please share, otherwise, fuck off. Clearly you just can't take the fact that the big bad Bush is far more environmentally friendly than your butt-buddy Al Snore.

My apologies for such inflammatory language, I usually reserve that type of behavior for those that have already tried to flame me. Please excuse my behavior.

uh...okay.

What a buffoon, and to believe that some people still listen to him with sincerity - there's one born every minute.

I wonder whos the bigger buffoon. Al? Or guys like you who want to get all hung up on some number he obviously got wrong, when the context of the conversation was about geothermal energy. And thats not junk science, thats operational reality. Whether it was 7million or 6000 doesn't change anything in the context of a very light discussion on geothermal.

People get numbers wrong ALL THE TIME.

True, true. Especially when it comes to jobs created or saved. Oh, and blood pressures too.

Bush's house 8,051-square-foot.

Al Gore isn't the source for the science behind global warming. He is just a spokesperson.

The people who think otherwise are morons. They are easily spotted on this thread.

I'm glad you brought that up, because thats what I'm saying. Big difference in fudging a number because your not real good with numbers and don't have to be, and another when your fudging numbers to bullshit yourself and others to justify your cause.

Its a good thing George Bush won Florida fair and square or else we would have to listen to Al Snore tell lies all day long.

Don't give Me that poppycock. The Supreme Court gave it to Him.

If the temperature anywhere inside the earth was "several million degrees," we'd be a star.
AHHAHAHA LOL LOL LOL LOL DUMBASS...

AL GORE is not a scientist by any stretch of the imagination, only liberals believe the crap that emanates from the GORACLE because it is politically correct to do so...

But at least it's nice to know the earth is really a star Thanks Al...

Instead we listened to Bush's lies and thousands of Americans are dead, the economy is in the shitter, and we are trillions in debt. Give me Al Gore anyday. You should have had Bush in your own country--bin Laden couldn't have been a worse President than his buddy Bush.

So Bob do you really believe your HERO the Goracle? If his statement is true about the core temperature of the earth being millions of degrees then you are standing on star, which MEANS THAT THE MOON IS A PLANET that was once inhabited by aliens explaining the SMOKE STAKES...

Where do you by your weed dude it must be some real kick ass shit...

surely the AP can use one of those 11 fact checkers they used for palins' book

I see once again ZAT has fled once he has been shown wrong. Typical. Started heating your pool yet ZAT?

If this is true...I should be dead after working underground further than 2km deep for the last 10 years.

So Bob do you really believe your HERO the Goracle?

No, he was mistaken.

If his statement is true about the core temperature of the earth being millions of degrees then you are standing on star, which MEANS THAT THE MOON IS A PLANET that was once inhabited by aliens explaining the SMOKE STAKES...

The word is "smokestacks". Again, the science behind global warming does not come from Gore---he is just a spokesperson.

Where do you by your weed dude it must be some real kick ass shit...

Where did you learn to read? Moron school?

I'd be surprised if MOHR can make his own sandwich.

BoOB. So a salesman got the Nobel prize. That's rich. Then again they gave it to a president who hadn't been in office more than 3 weeks at the time of his nomination.

The nobel prize has become a classic case of pearls before swine.

That's even worse. So you are saying that Al Gore is a spokesman for global warming scientists and these scientists say that the earth's interior is millions of degrees? LOL

Thanks Bob in this case I enjoy being, TA DA DA DUH "a perfect example"

Anyway I thought you may be interested in a related thread, Al Gore has now prophesied that as Global temperatures rise so will prostitution, I find it utterly amazing that the cost of PUSSY will actually be driven down by this cataclysmic event making it possible for all of us to CUM and GO at the same time real cheap...

Anyway back to the real question, Seriously dude where do you score on the killer weed...

It's got to be Columbian Gold or some real serious hydroponic shit

and THIS is the corcksuckster that we are all falling right off the global warming cliff for????

Not ALL---you never believed it anyway. No, it isn't him at all---it is the scientists that tell him about it that is causing all the commotion. You know those scientists with all their education and knowledge--the people you dismiss as idiots as you type on the internet and accept the benefits of their medical expertise--the morons who put us on the moon and can tell the weather of millions of years ago---those are the people causing all the problems---Gore is just their spokesperson.

This can all be easily explained. Obviously, Gore believes in the 'Hollow Earth' theory. Actually, given the limited amount of information that man knows about anything science related it could be correct. Seismic waves from earth quakes are more accurately predicted (waves traveling around the earth) using a hollow earth theory than the standard theory. For those to lazy to google, basically the HET states that as the earth cooled, the planet expanded (the continents fit together perfectly if you imagine the earth 1/6 of its current size) until it reached a point where the center of the earth, a few hundred kilometers in the crust, recollapsed onto itself leaving the a hollow earth around a ring of crust. The core, being re-compressed, is super hot like the sun, so Al could be referencing that.
