Quotes by Michael Myers
'Scientific' computer simulations predict global warming based on increased greenhouse gas emissions over time. However, without water's contribution taken into account they omit the largest greenhouse gas from their equations. How can such egregious calculation errors be so blatantly ignored? This is why man-made global warming is 'junk' science.
I am troubled by the lack of common sense regarding carbon dioxide emissions. Our greatest greenhouse gas is water. Atmospheric spectroscopy reveals why water has a 95 percent and CO2 a 3.6 percent contribution to the 'greenhouse effect.' Carbon dioxide emissions worldwide each year total 3.2 billion tons. That equals about 0.0168 percent of the atmosphere's CO2 concentration of about 19 trillion tons. This results in a 0.00064 percent increase in the absorption of the sun's radiation. This is an insignificantly small number.
It's been pretty impressive. He's long and tall. He's down there getting leverage on every play. That's why he's so good.
Right now we're trying to pass as much as we can, and the guys up front are finishing,
We have talked a lot about getting a new beginning, ... We don't ever want to be apart. We want to end our careers here.
We'd rather go forward, but we have to play within the defense, and if it calls for us to drop, we drop.
