...ethanol shale oil requires almost as much energy for extraction as it produces causing a much greater CO2 burden than conventional oil extraction. Of course, if you can delude yourself into denying peak oil, then denying AGW should be no problem whatsoever. . . . Every time a new find is mentioned - however large - their standard response is "it's a drop in the bucket" It's not...

... wonder why the proponents of global warming - as a man made problem - focus only on the exothermic part of the greenhouse effects, and ignore the endothermic part necessary to support life. AGW scientists are always whining about the disappearance of the Amazon rain forest. In fact they spend a lot of time in biology just for feedback. The earth is not a closed system. Energy is...
