Greenhouse panic

	1988 brought on one of the hottest, driest summers on record 
in the U.S. People begin to panic that the Greenhouse effect was 
now starting to happen. This, in spite of the relatively cooler 
summer of 1989.

	There was panic over the warming up of the Arctic ocean due 
to the raising of the ocean. This would cause the warm Alantic 
ocean waters to melt the ice in the Arctic. Without its ice, the 
Arctic ocean would get even warmer and warm up the Northern 
Hemisphere.

	On February, 1990, that evil person, President Busch, spoke 
to the environmental congress. His speech discussed research into 
using energy more efficiently. He also talked about developing 
alternative energy. He also discussed the problem of global 
population control as a means of easing the pressures on the 
environment. "This problem," he said, "Has got to be solved by a 
global approach involving all nations".

	However, Your Glorious Leaders knew better. We wanted 
industry and energy production to be shut down.

	Scientist such as Michael Guilles warned that continued use 
of Coal, Oil and Gas would cause Global Warming that would be 
disastrous with end 20 years.

	Other heros such as Feminist Dr.Kolacobs warns that 15 
million species of plants and animals will disappear as a result 
of Global warning in 50 years. She further stated that the 
predicted 18' rise in temperature is all the fault of corporate 
America's greed. Also, this diaster will occur in 20 years if the 
oil well fires in Kawait were not put out in a few days. 

	In the meantime, your glorious leaders made sure that there 
were a series of accidents in New York that has involved a rash 
of oil and chemical spills in the rivers and harbors of the 
country to warn the people of this danger.

	During the 1991 war with Iraq in Kawait, The Iranian Army 
blew up over 800 oil wells in Kawait setting fires to most of 
them. A huge black cloud of smoke soon blotted out the sun. This 
smoke cloud was thousands of miles long and rained down tons of 
soot into the Gulf and into Iran.

	Carl Segain, noted Panic Society hero, warned that it would 
take 5 years to put out the fires. He predicted that famine in 
Southeast Asia would occur as a result of this pollution. He also 
predicted a huge greenhouse effect would occurr from all of those 
fires.

	Your glorious leaders warned everyone about the use of coal. 
Such burning of coal was causing acid rain and global warming.

	During the energy crises of 1976, a lot of people started to 
burn wood. This burning of wood in the modern airtight stoves has 
resulted in a lot of smoke production. This smoke is loaded with 
hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and other poisons.

	The resulting woodburning has resulted in a lot of smog 
being formed especially out west. Your Glorious Leaders got laws 
passed to restrict and ban wood stoves and fireplaces. "Woodsmoke 
is a leading cause of winter air pollution in many western 
cities" says the EPA. Denver and Seattle have passed laws to ban 
the use of wood stoves and fireplaces in new homes.

	California also banned the use of starter fluid for charcoal 
grills. They are even putting emmission controls on things such 
as lawn mowers and other small gas powered tools.

	Your glorious leaders warned you on how cattle and sheep are 
causing the greenhouse effect. The cattle produced methane gas. 
Other groups picked on third world countries and the jungles that 
were being cleared to raise cattle. We blamed the McDonalds 
cooperation for this abuse. We even went so far as to plant bombs 
in several Eastern McDonalds restaurants.



UNlTED NATlONS (AP) - A U.S. environmental negotiator today 
questioned his government's assessment that America could meet 
proposed limits on greenhouse gas emissions, an issue dogging the 
upcoming Earth Summit. 

	Last Week, the Environmental Protection Agency said the 
government's own analysis showed it could easily meet a proposed 
goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by the 
year 2000. At a news conference today, Robert Reinstein, the 
chief U.S. negotiator at talks aimed at a global treaty on 
emissions, said that that analysis could be flawed, 

	"lf you're wrong, you've painted yourself into a corner," he 
said. 

	As Reinstein spoke at the U.S, mission to the United 
Nations, more than a dozen demonstrators from Greenpeace gathered 
across the street. The protestors locked themselves to flagpoles 
and to a parked car and truck, blocking an entrance to the United 
Nations, before police began cutting them free and listing them. 

	The protest was "symbolic of the blockade President Bush is 
putting up to a global warming treaty," said one of the 
demonstrators, Paul Normandia, 33, of Boston, The Bush 
administration's steadfast opposition to limits on greenhouse gas 
emissions could prompt other nations to walk out of the Earth 
Summit, leading to the collapse of other conservation accords, 
environmentalists say. 

	U.S. officials have "been acting like they just want to get 
out with the cheapest deal possible, and that's just the wrong 
approach," said Michael Oppenheimer, senior scientist with the 
Environmental Defense Fund in New York. 

	The aim of negotiations that were to be resumed today is an 
agreement that can be signed at the U,N..sponsored Earth Summit 
in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in June. 

	The so-called greenhouse effect is caused by the build-up of 
gases that can trap the sun's heat, threatening to raise Earth's 
temperatures. Carbon dioxide formed by the burning of fossil 
fuels is a major greenhouse gas. 

	Computer projections suggest that if emissions of greenhouse 
gases are not cut, temperatures could rise by as much as 3 
degrees to 8 degrees by the end of the next century That could 
alter climate in unpredictable ways, disrupt agriculture and 
flood coastal cities as polar ice melts, scientists say. 

	The Rio summit is expected to be one of the largest 
gatherings of world leaders in history. About 60 heads of state 
have said . they will attend 

	For more than two decades, scientists have been intrigued 
and mystified by how and when the Earth' s climate will react to 
the unrelenting buildup of so-called greenhouse gases, 
principally carbon dioxide caused by the burning of forests and 
fuels such as gasoline, oil and coal. 

	Now, a small but growing number of academics, government 
officials and environmentalists are beginning to think seriously 
about the political implications of a world environment gone 
awry. Many of them believe that the world's governments must 
start planning to avert the possibility of widespread calamity. 

	"If you want to have political stability, you have to have 
environmental stability," said Thomas E. Lovejoy of the 
Smithsonian Institution, a leading authority on the policy 
aspects of climate change. 

	Still, there is broad consensus - among scientists that as 
greenhouse gases accumulate in the atmosphere, trapping the sun's 
heat much as a greenhouse does on a sunny winter day, 
temperatures in the northern latitudes will climb faster than in 
the tropics, There will be changes in rainfall patterns, soil 
moisture, evaporation and sea levels worldwide. 

	Even slight changes in rainfall, experts say, could 
dramatically affect food production and the availability of water 
- circumstances that could lead to social and political upheaval, 
and in some cases violent conflict. 

	"We're looking at potential risks to the food supply, to 
regional stability, which could have ramifications beyond those 
regions," said Sandra L. Postel of the non-profit Worldwatch 
institute in Washington. 

	Atmospheric chemist F, Sherwood Rowland, who joined in the 
discovery that chlorofluorocarbons, or CFCs, were destroying the 
Earth's stratospheric ozone layer, added, "One does not expect 
(the climate) to shift over in a period . of five years, but the 
question of whether there might be a rapid change that would dry 
things out in some regions is there." If nations act soon, much 
could happen to minimize the dangers . 

	Human choices over how much energy and other basic resources 
are consumed, the kind of energy that is used, and population 
growth could significantly alter the future. 

	Technologies s may be perfected to dramatically reduce 
greenhouse emissions, New treaties and cooperative efforts to 
address s enVironmental threats also could alleviate tensions. 
Growing trade ties between nations could make cooperation - not 
conflict - more likely in the face of a common threat. 

	A climate change treaty presents far greater obstacles 
Eliminating CFCs used in refrigeration, air conditioning and 
other specialized uses is far easier than convincing nations to 
end practices fundamental to their economies - the cutting of 
forests to earn foreign exchange and the burning of fossil fuels 
to power their transportation and industry But scientists warn 
that failure to act quickly will guarantee even greater warming 
than would occur if harmful practices ae ended soon. By the time 
the threat becomes apparent it may be too late to stop the 
warming. 

	"We invested so much in responding to (a possible) nuclear 
attack from the U.S.S.R., even though the risk may not have been 
that high" EPA Administrator William K Reilly said in an 
interview. "The risk of climate change (is) so much larger and 
yet there has been no equivalent thinking to insure ourselves 
against it." 



LANSING - Consider this Great Lakes scenario for the year 2050: 

	While dozens of freighters are mired in a too-shallow Lake 
Erie, the Arizona Legislature considers using force to loosen 
Michigan's stranglehold on water in the Great Lakes. 

	With temperatures worldwide reaching record highs , the 
Michigan Travel Bureau gives up on promoting the state's barren 
ski slopes. 

	Instead, it starts marketing Saugatuck to Daytona-bound 
teenagers as a spring break alternative. 

	And Mackinac Bridge traffic is slowed as hundreds of 
Michigan farmers dive tractors and combines north to escape the 
crop killing heat of the Lower Peninsula. 

	Worried? Don't panic. At least not yet. 

	Scientists are still trying to figure out how air pollutants 
may trap heat, and cause global warming. 

	A United Nations scientific panel predicts average 
temperatures will rise 3 to 8 degrees Fahrenheit near the middle 
of the next century. That could affect Great Lakes levels as well 
as where and how Michigan residents live, play and grow fOOd, Two 
Michigan ski areas and a frozen food association already have 
asked the University of Michigan for advice, said James Teeri, a 
university biologist, The Lake Carrier Association is concerned, 
During a 1988 drought, the Great Lakes' biggest ships lost 4, 500 
tons of carrying capacity because of reduced lake levels , But 
scientists aren't offering immediate ansWers, They're still 
struggling to focus the global picture. Some discount the threat 
How it might affect specific regions is anybody's guess. 

	But Michigan is on the front lines of finding out. 

	"This is the place where it's happening right now," said 
Garry Brewer, dean of the University of Michigan's School of 
Natural Resources, Brewer last year gave up his post as Yale 
University's top environmental policy professor to come to 
Michigan to study global change. The U-M has made global warming 
its top research priority, involving about 350 faculty and 
students in almost every discipline. 

	And the state is attracting other research for reasons 
ranging from its unique geography to ongoing efforts to solve 
international pollution problems, A $30 million federal 
appropriation is skied for a university consortium, based at 
Saginaw Valley State University. Part of its function is to 
analyze satellite data about global warming's effects. 

	"Nowhere else in the country can you find that," Brewer 
said. 

	The Great Lakes have prompted the National Oceanic and 
Atmospheric Administration to begin one of the first attempts at 
showing global warming's impact on a region. 

	Much of what is suspected about global warming is based on 
world scale computer models, said Frank Quinn of NOW's Ann Arbor 
laboratory. In one model's worst scenario, the Great Lakes water 
level would drop up to nine feet. 

	Regional models are the next generation of research. 
Michigan will have one of the first models within two years, 
Quinn said, "We're in the forefront because we have the Great 
Lakes," he said. 

	Another geographical advantage puts the border of an arctic 
weather pattern near the Straits of Mackinac, said Teeri, head of 
U M's Biological Research Station. The only other place it enters 
the United States is in Maine. 

	For years, the biological station south of Mackinaw City has 
collected plants and animals that live along the climatic border. 
Now biologists are trying to learn if the northward migration of 
some of them is related to global warming. 

	And the global average temperature has risen faster during 
the Past decade than it did in any other decade of the century, 
he said. Most of them agree that carbon dioxide will double in 
the next century. 

	Experiments at Michigan State University show how crops 
thrive on carbon dioxide, said Sylvan Whitwer, emeritus director 
of the university's agricultural research station. But experts 
are not waiting for answers . 

	The Great Lakes Commission is pushing for a multistate plan 
to regulate how the Great Lakes, which have 95 percent of the 
nation's fresh surface water, get doled out "It is infinitely 
more comforting to be well-prepared for a crisis that never 
materializes than to be unprepared for one that does," said Mike 
Donahue, director of the multistate policy agency. 

	Despite the uncertainty, a federal study has ranked global 
warming with ozone depletion, habitat destruction and species 
extinction as the nation's top environmental worries. 

	The buildup of carbon dioxide and other gasses shows how 
human actions change global chemistry, said MSU biologist William 
Cooper, who chaired the study. 

	"That's an awesome responsibility," he said. "Always before 
we'd just mess up a little pond or a lake. 

	"That observation alone ought to scare the hell out of 
people." 



	In the Panic Society, any energy generated is that of the 
use of Hydrogen. This fuel only produces water vapor when used in 
a fuel cell or burned for heat. The Hydrogen is generated by use 
of sunlight under the use of a catalysis, or from the energy 
generated by cold fushion. Oxygen will be a byproduct of this 
generation. 

	There are no cattle or minks allowed in the Panic Society. 
They will be stearlized so that any remaining will not produce 
offsprings. Therefore, there will be no methane generated by 
cattle, mink, or their waste product.

	There will be no rice farming allowed. 

	A massive effort has been made to exterminate termite. 
around the world as they have also been found to generate 
Menthane gas.

	To be sure that there is plenty of ozone in the ozone layer, 
a special ozone generator has been constructed on top of Mt 
Everest. It will inject ozone into the ozone layer.

	Large areas of the planet are no longer inhabited by people. 
There was a massive effort to replant all of this land to forest. 
This will reduce the CO2 level in the atomosphere.

	There is no refrigation or air conditioning allowed in the 
Panic Society.

	If need be, a huge dam will be built between Canada, 
Greenland, Iceland, and Norway in an effort to keep the warm 
Alantic out of the Artic Ocean. This will allow that ocean to 
freeze over and stop global warming in that area. There will be 
shallow areas left where whales and other marine life can still 
migrate to each oceans.

	In an effort to reduce the heating effect from the sun, 
mirrors have been erected in all of the desert areas of the 
Earth. 

































On the Negative Side.

	All of this effort may disrupt the climate. It may even 
start another ice age.

	In addition, people have suffered from the lack of any 
method to preserve food or live comfortably in the warmer areas 
of the earth. They are also suffering from the cold as they will 
not be able to generate any usable amounts of heat and very 
little energy until cold fusion becomes practical.



Is it all Possible?

	Its anyones guess.

	Certainly, the disruption of human life has started in the 
U.S. People are being laid off as businesses cut back and move 
out of the country because of environmental restrictions. (No 
such restrictions ever occurr in the socialist countries where 
officals couldn't care less about the environment).

	It will get much worse as the 0 use of freon is enforced and 
refrigeration breaks down.

	It will reach crisis levels when the manidated CO2 laws of 
the Clinton Admistration take effect and all energy becomes 
rationed.

	Panic Society will then take control as martal law is 
enacted and all forms of freedom are taken from the people.

	Note, the articles from the news were edited in favor of the 
policies of Your Glorious Leaders.

	Here are some unaltered articles.



	In 1988, powerplants and automobiles generated an estimated 
174 million tons of CO2. Yet, this figure represents only 4% of 
all CO2, the rest of it is generated by Nature 



	DETROIT (AP) - Dr. Patrick Michaels says some people are 
getting carried away in their push to ease global warming. 

	Carbon dioxide makes up about 50 percent of the gases 
causing the greenhouse effect, but Michaels says methane makes up 
another 25 percent. 

	An associate professor in the University of Virginia's 
Department of Environmental Sciences, Michaels said Monday he 
recently pointed out to a colleague that 40 percent of the 
methane comes from cows' flatulence. 

	His colleague's response: "We'll regulate them.', "If 
they're talking about regulating bovine, what do you think 
they're going to do to you?" he asked about 400 people at an 
Economic Club of Detroit luncheon, Michaels defended President 
Bush's decision not to back a global warming treaty hammered out 
last weekend at the United Nations. The treaty, the first 
international legal agreement to recognize that global warming 
could threaten the Earth's environment, was expected to be signed 
at the Earth Summit in Brazil next month. 

	"There's nothing like global warming to bring out the 
politics in people," said Michaels, who frequently advises the 
state and federal government on environmental issues, Michaels 
said data don't substantiate claims that the Earth's temperature 
is rising dramatically. He noted that daily high temperatures 
worldwide have declined over the past 70 years. . 

	He also pointed to data that showed the nights are getting 
warmer but daytime temperatures haven't budged in the past four 
decades. He said the Bush administration based its decision on 
such data "It's a minority position to say the world is not 
coming to an end," Michaels said. 

	Also speaking at the luncheon was Dr. Wilbur Steger, 
president and founder of the CONSAD Research Corp., a national 
think tank based in Pittsburgh, Pa. 

	Steger said a tax to curb the use of fossil fuels such as 
oil and coal could cost Michigan as many as 25,000 jobs in the 
year 2000 alone, A carbon tax, aimed at reducing global warming, 
would threaten numerous U.S. industries, he said. Such 
legislation would put America's industrial states at a serious 
financial disadvantage and would threaten 330,000 of Michigan's 
5.5 million jobs with wage and benefit cuts, reduced hours and 
layoffs, Steger said. 

	"Everyone will be hurt significantly," he said. 

	An Energy Department study released in December said 
reducing emissions of carbon dioxide, a primary gas causing the 
greenhouse effect, may cost as much as $95 billion a year by 2000 
and require steep energy taxes, That report, requested by 
Congress and attaeked by many environmentalists, concluded that 
carbon dioxide emissions could be cut by 20 percent by the end of 
the decade, But, the report says, that can be accomplished only 
by imposing substantial carbon taxes. 

	That would double gas prices, nearly triple the price of 
heating oil and increase electricity costs from 6,5 cents per 
kilowatt hour to 15 cents per kilowatt hour. 

	Note, the winter of 1994 was one of the coldest on record. 
So much for global warming.
