BushOut06 (1000+ posts) Thu May-10-07 02:38 PM Original message Question for any lurking freepers Take a look around you. Wildfires are burning out of control in several states. Why do you think these wildfires are happening? Because the ground is DRY. Many places are experiencing record droughts. Each summer, we keep hearing about record highs, with 100-degree temps becoming normal across much of the country. We're seeing more tornadoes than usual. Hurricanes have been getting stronger over the past decade. Practically every major scientist agrees that global warming is not only here, but that it is caused by human activities. Do you really think that we can pump billions of tons of pollutants into the air with no consequence? Do you really think that we can wipe out millions of acres of forest without any negative repercussions?
What the hell is it going to take to convince you idiots? When the Eastern coast is underwater? When the Gulf Coast is battered beyond recognition from years upon years of catastrophic hurricanes? When Antarctica finally becomes habitable?
Or will you simply blame all of that on Clinton?
It’s called Spring and Summer. Name a year there weren’t fires. Name a year when we didn’t see 100= degree days and -10 degree days? Dolt.

We’re seeing more tornadoes than usual. No, we aren’t.
Hurricanes have been getting stronger over the past decade. No, they haven’t.
Practically every major scientist agrees that global warming is not only here, but that it is caused by human activities. No, some do, some don’t.
Do you really think that we can pump billions of tons of pollutants into the air with no consequence? Yes, the air cleanses itself.
Do you really think that we can wipe out millions of acres of forest without any negative repercussions? No, but we have more acres of forest in the US now than ever before. The wildfires are the result of environmental policies that have prevented clearing the tinder and opening enough space to keep the fires from spreading.
Don’t tell me it gets hot in the summer? We’re DOOMED!
Yes, hurricanes happen. Remember Camille and Agnes? What about The Great Storm of 1900 that obliterated Galveston? Yes, temperatures are hot in the summer and cold in the winter.
The "repercussions" described by the left are extreme (for shock effect). Ten years in geological time is insignificant. You can draw almost any trend you want from it, especially dangerous given your blatant bias.
Practically every major scientist agrees that global warming is not only here, but that it is caused by human activities.
Yes, and everyone thought that the Earth was flat. Science is not about consensus; science is about questioning the known, discovering the unknown, and always demanding rigorous proof.
What "global warming" is all about is religious dogma and a new Inquisition.
When Antarctica finally becomes habitable?
And that's a bad thing...why?
Or will you simply blame all of that on Clinton?
No, we are above that, unlike the lefties who blame every ill in the world on Dubya. It's quite common sense: the Sun burns more intensely, and the Earth gets warmer. Unfortunately, common sense usually is muddled by excessive pot smoking and crack snorting.
He should see that Global Warming is a campaign for clean nuclear power and just surrender to the need for same. France did.
DOCTOR Smith: "We're DOOMED I say! DOOOOOMED! Ohhhh!"
Poor forest management.
Each summer, we keep hearing about record highs, with 100-degree temps becoming normal across much of the country.
Except when Al Gore speaks, then the record lows move in. Recorded tempreture data only goes back a hundred years or so, we are going to set records every year.
We're seeing more tornadoes than usual. Hurricanes have been getting stronger over the past decade.
It has to do with cycles and reporting more than anything else. We can spot and track hurricanes today with satelites, something we could not do that long ago. And we were at the peak of a cycle, which is why 1995 was such a bad year. Tornadoes activity actually had peak years back in 1973 and 1974. We had a bad week or two, but that does not make a trend.
I am taking a Ford F350 SuperDuty loaded with motorcycles and pulling a camper 250 miles to Myrtle Beach to be amongst 200,000 other motorcycles.
We are gonna burn gallon after gallon of gas with unnecessary cruising all day long and eating tons of grilled animals.
Should be a hoot.......
Well I certainly wasn’t in the theatre when that fantasy propaganda flick opened.
Here is some ammo about the hurricanes. Carla hit in 1961 and had sustained winds of 175 1nd max of 280.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Carla
Hurricane Carla was one of two Category 5 tropical cyclones during the 1961 Atlantic hurricane season. It struck the Texas coast as a Category 4 hurricane, becoming one of the most powerful storms to ever strike the United States and the strongest ever to hit Texas. The storm caused over $2 billion (2005 US dollars) in damages, but due to the evacuation of over 500,000 residents the death toll was only 43. [1]

6th grade level? That would be too hard for them. Most 6th graders are smarter than this DUmmie.
Here is the info on the May 1997 Jarrell Texas F-5 tornado.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jarrell_Tornado
Pictures here. This tornado literally stripped the asphalt off the roads.

it’s been proven that “global warming” is occuring on both Venus and Mars..since Earth sits in between them, whatever is causing it on those two is also causing it here..
or DU’er, is it those darn SUV’s, CO2 and other alien causes on those planets??
