— Ace Yup. All we need to do is stop cutting down trees (also known as "carbon sinks"), stop making cement, and stop burning anything and we can keep our planet pristine.
And also, dead, because the population will quickly reduce itself to almost nothing, the same as it was during the Stone Age. Which I suspect is the ultimate goal.
Cement is crucial to [California's] economy, literally paving the way for the growth that creates and preserves jobs. It is in our roads by the ton. It is underneath and, increasingly, within our houses. It is part of the backbones of our factories, stores and office buildings.Californians will use more than 12 million metric tons of cement this year nearly one-third of a ton for every man, woman and child in the state.
But there is a problem. The production of cement creates a lot of carbon dioxide, the gas scientists believe is causing the temperature of Earth's atmosphere to rise. The 11 cement plants in California produce about the same amount of CO2 every year as 2 million passenger cars driven on the state's roads.
Cement comes from limestone, which is mined, crushed and then heated in kilns at temperatures above 2,700 degrees Fahrenheit. As the temperature rises, calcium carbonate is transformed into calcium oxide, or lime, which is the key ingredient in cement. In chemical terms, CaC03 becomes CaO + CO2. The difference between limestone and lime, then, is the freeing and release of carbon dioxide.
For every ton of lime produced for cement, nearly a ton of carbon dioxide is produced as a waste product. You cannot have one without the other.
...
The Air Resources Board, which is leading the state's attempt to reduce the spread of greenhouse gases, has the cement industry in its sights. The board listed cement among the potential "early actions" that could be taken to reduce carbon dioxide production, and again fingered the product in its recent outline of the approach the board intends to take in the months ahead. But so far the regulators have not said exactly what they plan to do.
One reason might be that there are no easy answers.
...
The only sure way to significantly reduce the amount of carbon dioxide that comes from the use of cement, then, is for Californians to use less cement. That means using less concrete, which consists mostly of cement, sand, gravel and water. But the state is expected to use more, not less concrete in the years ahead, as the population grows and as the government rebuilds roads, highways and levees as part of a huge drive to repair and expand California's infrastructure.
Okay then. Agent Smith was right: Humanity is a virus.
California is also planning to label all cars with a global warming score. Which is as silly as it is ineffectual.

So does this mean we should start a major war to reduce the number of people on this earth? do we have to nuke Terhan to save the earth. Well if we must we must. just thin of all the cement we will save.
But I wonder how much CO2 those fires that are fed by the environmental wacko rules and regulation on clearing brush for the "natural habitat" is releasing

So let's put this all together shall we?
The Hoover Damn was built with 3.3 Million Meters of concrete. A single cubic meter of concrete weighs about 1.4 tons. So the full weight of the concrete was 4.62 Million Tons.
I'm not sure their mixture but 2 parts concrete to 3 parts sand is typical. Let's say 35% of the weight of concrete is actually from the lime then, not gravel or sand (fines).
That's ballpark...which leaves us with 1.72 Million Tons of Lime used. By the article's math, that also means 1.72 Million Tons of CO2 released by just the concrete on the dam, not even counting the other CO2 likely used on the project from machinery, metal production, cars, exhaling, etc.
From Dept. of Interior site:
"The average annual net generation for Hoover Powerplant for 1947 through 2005 was about 4.4 billion kilowatt-hours."
In 58 years they have generated about 256 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity.
Now...Terrapass tells me that to offset a ton of C02, I'll need to hand them 12 dollars. OK so let's calculate...how much would it cost to offset just the concrete in the fucking Hoover Dam. 20.64 Billion Dollars.
If electricity is costing about 10 cents per kilowatt-hour in Nevada these days, that means that in todays dollars they've made 25.6 Billion Dollars worth of dank hydroelectricity since opening shop. That's pretty great since it cost 676 million of todays dollars to do it. So 24.9 Billion profit, simplistically.
Value of total Hoover Dam power heretofore : 24.9 Billion Dollars
Cost to offset C02 from use of concrete alone: 20.64 Billion Dollars

Oh, for fuck's sake...
So what that means is that California can now tax the cement plants out of existence. The amusing thing is that the state government seems to wonder why businesses keep packing up and leaving.
It would seem, therefore, that California, with its impressive GDP, is going to try to bankrupt itself.
Brilliant.

Not likely to be much of a problem in California. They're burning first.
Hmmm ... is the carbon footprint of California's mismanaged forests bigger than the one for the cement plants? Since the former was brought to us by the Sierra Club and assorted other greenies, I bet The Deciders won't be letting us in on the answer anytime soon.

Can we please tell the environmental wackos to sit down and shut up? Maybe we can place them on some type of reservation or something. Place some polar bears and grizzly bears in there make sure to include some wolves they love wolves and of course the snail datter and the snowy oil thingy. We can outlaw campfires in the reservation and all forms of energy.
Problems should be solved in about 3 days depending on how much hunger the bears and wolves have.

The U.S. Food and Agriculture Organization says that agricultural methane output could increase by 60 percent by 2030 [Source: Times Online]. The world's 1.5 billion cows and billions of other grazing animals emit dozens of polluting gases, including lots of methane. Two-thirds of all ammonia comes from cows.
In 2003, the government of New Zealand proposed a flatulence tax, which was not adopted because of public protest.

As a geologist, let me ask one thing: What are the green teams going to do when oceanic tectonics cause a massive methane hydrate outgassing, thereby massively effecting climate temperature? I know they'll need a second to go google that but while they're at it they need to look up the relationship between polar magnetic reversals (which we are due for) and the Van Allen belt, as well as the eventual eruption of the Yellowstone Caldera, which will probably kill us all.
I only ask because as a Human, I considered technology to be our evolutionary advantage and best chance to getting off this planet before it some day mows us under as a species. I guess they're content with all of us dying so that they can save a few trees that will get wiped out anyway. After all, if Al Gore says it's true, who are we to question the apex of liberal evolution?

Posted by: unseen at July 07, 2008 11:02 PM (aVGmX)
When the Yellowstone caldera goes it is safe to say the nuclear winter they were worried about in the 80's will feel like a spring. not only will the entire western halve of the USa be wiped out but the climate will be placed into a mjor ice age. It eruptes about every 600,000 years or so. the last eruptions was about 600,000 years ago. The dome is rising and many geologists believe that an eruption is close as far as geologic time goes. this could be anywhere from a year from now up too 10,000 years from now.

eman,
PV=nRT only works for ideal gases. To determine the mass of CO2 you'd weigh your calcium carbonate and your resulting calcium oxide. As you mentioned, the difference is the approximate mass of carbon dioxide emitted (weighing the fuel burned by auto engines and scrubbing and weighing the exhaust gas is the method the EPA uses to create its fuel economy ratings).
It is far more likely that there is a reason why we are living in a near average interglacial period of the current Ice Age. What do you mean, Hank? Current CO2 levels are almost too low to sustain life and that the recent rise is the result of emergence from the "Little Ice Age" as noted by higher ambient temps now relative to those 200 to 300 years ago. IOW, CO2 is not a "climate forcing" but is the result of "climate forcings", as it were.
Our oceans are humongous CO2 buffers that can hold far more CO2 than can be produced by all living beings on this rock, Man included, as well as that which is formed geochemically.
BTW, human exhaled breath is approximately 10% water and 4% carbon dioxide. It also contains nitrogen dioxide, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, acetone, ethanol, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and a host of other products of metabolism in addition to the unmodified constituents of inhaled air.

Yeah i like this quote from jurassic Park:
But we have soothed ourselves into imagining sudden change as something that happens outside the normal order of things. An accident, like a car crash. Or beyond our control, like a fatal illness. We do not conceive of sudden, radical, irrational change as built into the very fabric of existence. Yet it is.

As far as Milakovich theory I tend to think it explains things pretty well.
the earthquake on christmas 2005? knocked the earth from its rotation by a small degree.
I'm a firm believer in negative and positive feedback cycles. that major climate shifts are due to many factors that work together to cause massive warming or massive cooling which then tends to staying in that trend until something new and massive comes and chages that trend.

Me too, the best example I've even come across was related to the Mt Pinatubo eruption in the 1990's. If I remember correctly, it put somewhere near 14.5 million tons of Sulfur Dioxide into the atmosphere and cooled the globe about a 1 degree C. But lost in that was that the local effect was a massive greening of the area due to biofeedback of being in a high CO2 enviroment. If biofeedback didn't work, life simply wouldn't be here at all considering all the huge geologic events in earth history.
Likewise, I believe that the chemisty demands a balance when altered by energy that we'd recognize if we just had a grasp of the whole equation.

you should know what you are talking about before you speak.
In the hours after last month's Sumatra earthquake, an astonishing report began to circulate: So potent was the undersea jolt that it disrupted the planet's rotation, causing the day to shorten ever so slightly.
But did it?
"The answer to this question is a definite yes," write NASA scientists Richard Gross and Benjamin Chao in an article published Tuesday in Eos, the weekly newspaper of the American Geophysical Union. After plugging measurements of the Sumatra quake into a computer model, the scientists calculated that the quake sped up the planet's rotation - thus shortening the length of the day - by as much as 2.68 millionths of a second.
They also determined that the quake nudged the North Pole an inch closer to Northern Japan.

as far as the physics involved? Maybe this will expalin it to you.
When the crustal plates curled together, they unleashed a lethal tsunami and a huge burst of energy. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the magnitude 9.0 Sumatra quake was equivalent to the detonation of 75 million tons of TNT, or 23,000 atomic bombs. They also made the planet more compact, and thus caused it to rotate faster.
"Just like a spinning ice skater who pulls her arms in," says Thomas O'Brian, head of the time and frequency division of the National Institute of Standards

Hmmm... the wood from those cut-down trees is primarily carbon. As long as it remains in use as a component of a house or a piece of furniture, the carbon remains in the wood. And, if new trees are allowed to grow in place of the ones cut down, they absorb carbon from the atmosphere to make more wood. Now contrast that to the Sierra Cult's favored method means of managing a forest- do nothing and let it burn down. What happens to all that carbon then?
This is fairly easy to figure out for someone with half a brain, which may be the problem.

The plan by the California Air Resources Board to limit the production of cement is RACIST. The bulk of the construction industry employment in California is hispanic. Hispanic employment would be inordinately affected (right notropis?) in relation to other races if lack of cement for the construction industry in California caused a contraction in construction employment. This is a DEFACTO RACIST RESULT.
I'd sue but I don't live in California, I'm not in the construction industry and I'm not hispanic. Oh hell, I'm gonna sue anyway. For the children.

You left out the gravel weight. My structural engineering professor said (way back in the day) that some of the "gravel" was the size of 10' boulders. Therefore; you would end up with a lot less cement weight.

So if California's global warming score is going to take into account emissions to produce the fuel for the vehicle are they going to also include the emissions it takes to produce those batteries or the emissions those batteries will be giving off when they are sitting in a dump somewhere for those hybrids and electric cars. How about the electricity emissions for charging up the electric cars?
This is California's way of getting around not being able to set fuel mileage laws.

Ha! McCain is selling organic cotton clothing. What a dumbass. How pathetic.
He needs to be selling shirts with guns, planes and aircraft carriers on them. And derricks.

We're going to run off the cement manufacturers, put illegal aliens out of a job, and then turn around and buy it from China.

The only POSSIBLE reason to focus so intently on CO2 control is to control human activity - these greenies simply hate humanity and just don't have the stomach to urge what they really want - mass murder.

Our state government knows how to prioritize.
I'd like to dork all of them up the sqeakhole with cement and watch it set.

So any guesses what happens when the cement is actually used? Yeah, it absorbs CO2 and H2O making up for a lot of the CO2 produced. Not all. There is only one solution for this insanity:
"these greenies simply hate humanity and just don't have the stomach to urge what they really want - mass murder."
Someone needs to sleep with the fishes and make good use of the precious cement.
