Huh? whadda you know?

Tim surely you're not using this to suggest that global
warming isn't
happening, are you?

I dunno. I'd always thought that glaciers and giant ice
shelves were
melting away because the earth was getting warmer, then you
hear about
a massive chunk of ice forming and....

I know we had a decent frost last night, but it's November,
we're
supposed to have a decent frost last night.

I assume you like somewhere in the middle of the country and
are
completely unaware of the weird weather most of the country
has
been
expeiencing the past year.

Are you aware of the spike in tornados?

So far weather has been changing for 4.5 billion years and
this
year was
mild by comparison. And the predictions from the sane say the
same
thing is in store for the next 4.5 billion years.

Are you saying the ending of the ice age was caused by man?
Oh,
the shame of it all.

He probably is, but I don't know anybody else that is sane or
without
a monetary interest saying that global warming is CAUSED by
man.

OTOH, I think there are a lot of reasons to believe that man
CONTRIBUTES to global warming.

But how much, and to what end... The world has been hotter and
colder
than now, it has changed faster than it is changing now, and it
will
probably stay in the long run, pretty similar to what it is
now...

The world has a great climate control system in the whole
spinning
thing. Too much heat will make for more hurricaines which take a
tremendous amount of heat energy and spin it out to the poles
where it
can dissipate. If the world gets warmer, more hurricnes, if the
world
gets colder, less hurricanes, pretty simple really. I think the
world
has things under control and it is doing what it does, just
fine.
More
hurricanes means something maybe us, maybe the sun, maybe both
are
doing
what they do to the earth. The earth will respond and balance
things out
like it's been doing for 4 billion years...

The concern is a potential for a tipping point. The
ramifications of
that are truly scary.

Besides, a lot of the green applications save money and
resources. I
actually like to save money, so I don't see the problem.

Show me one...


Your current struggles with your boiler. Somebody with a technical
education of about the 10th grade or higher could easily answer
your
question.

Go for it Dearie. Answer his question.

I don't pay attention to the Harry/Plum clone... she doesn't have any
answers anyway.


Her answers were better than your questions.

Yeah, you would say that. You think a non-answer insult is an
"answer"!?
LOL!


I think your "comments" on global warming and many other issues either
are or border on idiotic. As to your home heating problem, I have no
comment beyond saying I'd call in someone who knows about these systems
intimately rather than depend upon conflicting advice from a newsgroup.
When I was getting specs and bids for the new genny system here, the
best advice on placing the generator came from the field technician (a
licensed plumber) from the company from which we buy our LP gas, and the
consultation didn't cost me a dime. His advice resulted in a cost
savings of nearly $2000.



I am just trying to tweak my system.. Once I understand the principal, I
will be able to the same way I diagnosed cars.. You will never
understand Harry, you obviously should stick to paying others to do your
work for you...


There aren't a lot of magic tweeks. The one tweek I didn't mention
before is change the filter and adjust the flame. You might want to hire
a HVAC guy to do that.


No, I can do all that... my dad was old school I service both boilers
every year in both houses, have for ever.. That's not the issue. I am
just wondering if fooling with cut off temps etc can make a
difference...If not, I am sure mine is ok. Last time I had the boiler
guy in to keep up the oil service contract, he tested it out at
97.something percent. Great, the "boiler" is about as efficient as it
can be, I am looking at the baseboard system in relation to that...
Maybe I can't do anything, but at least I asked. Now to the back up
water supply running off a bicycle pump
