NASA says ethanol in gasoline causing global warming

I have been claiming that MTBE caused weather pattern changes since
1999. No one ever listened to me. I said the same about ethanol before
it was used because its emission would have the same effect on
producing ozone. Still no one listened.

But putting the two news article mentioned below together, it appears
that others are very close to saying what I have been saying for many
years. I first reached my conclusion from uneducated observations
based on my personal reactions to air quality after my health was
ruined by MTBE in drinking water while being concerned for my
perennial collection that was threatened by drought.

I researched my theory to find that science supported my suspicions.
Drew Shindell of NASA has been making this claim for many years
although not directing his research at MTBE or ethanol but the same
chemicals that they both emit.

The major byproducts of ethanol and MTBE use from exhaust emissions
are formaldehyde and acetaldehyde, both carcinogens. Major smog
causing pollutant from diesel engines and coal burning is nitrogen
oxide, or NO's.

VOC's, Volatile Organic Compounds, and NO's, combine with water vapor
in the suns ultraviolet rays where they go through an invisible
combustion process which produces low level ozone. Formaldehyde and
acetaldehyde are both VOC's known as Non Methane VOC's, or NMVOC's.
Trees produce Methane VOC's, which interact with water vapor to give
us clouds and rain.

In March of 2006, ( read article at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11838578/
) Drew Shindell of NASA, who had just been given the very prestigious
award of being amongst the top fifty US scientists by Scientific
American, the first NASA scientists to ever receive this award, said
his research shows that low level ozone caused by NMVOC's and NO's was
causing the arctic to melt quicker

As far as the EPA and Congress have been concerned, they claim that
MTBE and ethanol in gasoline produce better air quality where it's
hard to find information to support that either of them produce high
emissions of formaldehyde and acetaldehyde. But recently a study
conducted at Stanford University ( read article at
http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/medi...p?newsid=68312 ) that
was supported by NASA found that ethanol does produce high quantities
of both of these NMVOC's, and that they lead to elevated levels of
ozone wherever they are used. In fact they even went as far as to
admit that formaldehyde and acetaldehyde mixing with nitrogen oxides
dissolves smog with the end result being worse air quality.

Combining these two articles spells out that MTBE and ethanol cause
weather pattern changes, the same changes we are currently attributing
to global warming.

Its true enough for me.
Internal combustion engines produce pollution.

I've been saying that for years after standing there trying to cross a
street,
it was downtown Philadelphia,
and this big Bus,
giant advertisement stuck on its side for some Bank,
bus slunked on by at about three miles an hour.
The Bus exhaust thoughtfully aimed at the sidewalk.....

Ever notice how almost all vehichle exausts are aimed of the side of the
road so to sprays pedestrians?At three miles an hour I was thouroughly
hosed down with the evil spew.

It was a GIANT Bus Fart too....
Made my eyes water.

I could see the crowd...maybe it was almost four Pee Em? You know the
Philly sidewalks at Four.
I watched the people recoil and lean towards the buildings as the Big
Bus did its worse.

BioDiesal is the only way to make those infernal machines tame enough to
cohabitate with earthlings.

Me thinks that bio-diesel is an carbon compound and therefore produces
carbondioxid while combusting and therefore helps the greenhouseeffect.

They have done studies in the MidWest concerning how all the methane
from all the cow poop laying around out on the "range" is causing global
warming.

I guess horses are out too unless their poop causes less mathane.
