the planet's poles are melting.. ON MARS..

They have SUV's on Mars? Geez...who's doing something sbout that?

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

It can't get too messy.

It will be like an Iraqui Toyota loaded with fierce Fedayeen using RPGs going against an Abrams with a 129 Howie and a 30mm Chain gun.

Even if they are right and the seas will rise due to global warming, how do they explain what warmed and cooled the earth all those times before man burned fossil fuels?

Solar activity is the only answer and if they know how to control that, they will finally have my attention. The last couple of days have seen a flurry of global warming scare stories in the press. Trying to counter Russia's opting or pending opting out of Kyoto.

Their lemming like obsession with bad science as in blaming carbon dioxide for climate changes - the same carbon dioxide that we exhale and plants inhale really is unbelievable.

"The report, written by eight leading German professors..."

Probably Von Daneken supporters...

And since the French don't take many baths, it explains why the doctors wanted to go on vacation in the open camping areas, instead of treating these people.

Makes perfect sense to me. Explains why French don't get heart disease as much as Americans. They don't live long enough to have heart problems.

Actually they live pretty long due to lack of stress, they just don't really care about anything enough to worry about it.

First of all, for safety's sake, lets move the UN to Tibet next week.

If the oceans are gonna rise, I think we should leave the United Nabobs right where they're at. The building will make a nice breakwater.

[U S Army EOD]

But if it doesn't rise, and it won't, then we still have the UN in Tibet.

[Old Professer]

I think that's how many people worried themselves to death.

[Kenny Bunk]

Boris, as Global Warming takes place, will the Putin Administration be finally able to equal the wheat crop
produced under Czars?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

But if it doesn't rise, and it won't, then we still have the UN in Tibet

I see no down side. Except that Tibet might not like the idea.

. . . . . inundating central London and many of the world's biggest cities,. . .

Will it hit Pittsburgh?!?

I want to know exactly how global warming is already killing 150,000 a year. How do they distinguish gobal warming deaths from other deaths?

The author probably was hoping no one would think to ask the exact question you did.

[farmfriend]

Don't you have a 'global warming' ping list?

Yes, I do.

Rights, farms, environment ping.

Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from this list.
I don't get offended if you want to be removed.

Horrors - We're all going to die!

This past Wednesday I attended a public discussion with noted Penn State geologist Richard Alley, one of the recognized experts on global climate change, specializing on the Greenland and Antarctic ice caps.

An audience member asked how much effect the Kyoto Protocol would have on earth's climate if it was enforced. Alley was honest in replying "not much".

But then he added that when the federal income tax started out at 1% or whatever it was in the beginning, nobody believed it would remain at that low rate very long, the important thing was just getting it into law.

He used that analogy to defend the ratification of Kyoto. And now they want a 60% reduction by 2050? Dream on.

[sheik yerbouty]

Not to worry! Nuclear winter will offset global warming!

"Global warming already kills 150,000 people a year"

So does this mean those 150,000 people could have smoked and it didn't matter? Just curious. If I'm on the list for next year, I'm doubling my cigar intake.

Global warming already kills 150,000 people a year

Yep. Here again is proof that 76.3% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
