We are still recovering from the "little ice age" of the dark ages. We have not yet reached the global temperatures extant at the time Eric the Red discovered Newfoundland's shores. Let me say that again, (paraphrased) for effect. It's still colder globally, than it was 1,000 years ago.Please! You think the proponents of these global warming theories are going to let something as silly as historical fact get in the way??

It concludes that the protocol must urgently be brought into force, but only as a first step, insisting that "catastrophic" climate change "can now only be prevented if climate protection targets are set at substantially higher levels than those agreed internationally until now". I'll start to do my part just as soon as The Independent shuts down its printing presses, which waste immense amounts of energy and tons of newsprint every single day to put out a paper that could just as easily be read online.

Thus, the derisive, jocular laughter.. ;0)

"Global warming already kills 150,000 people a year" This must please Planned Parenthood.

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?
To: blam
Did they forget that the worlds oceans rose from 300-500 feet only 15,000 years ago. History really isn't their strong suit.

Um, help me out here...ICE displaces water and raises the level. When it melts, the level subsides. What am I missing?It's a pleasure to see a post from a real thinker!
The current interglacial period may continue for thousands of years.
The alternatives are the end of this ice age when all the ice is melted or an onset of a new ice age.
I'll take what we have now.

Thank you. I never have a puddle of water on the table when I let a glass of water and ice melt.
What are we both missing?

For those interested, here's a link to the site;
"German Advisory Council on Global Change"
http://www.wbgu.de/wbgu_home_engl.html Please note:
The "secretariat" offers copies of their reports for free..
It would be interesting to see how much it would cost them to send copies to every Freeper in the U.S.A....

The Marines actually ran an extensive operation where the hypothesis WAS flooded Capitals in 98 or 99. I think San Fran was the main exercise loc.
There are other ways to melt ice than 'global warming'.

Global warming already kills 150,000 people a year I assume that this statistic comes comes from inpartial and reliable sources? Did you know that 200,000 people annually die from strokes brought on by reading articles such as this one. Bet you my sources are as good as the global warming statistics.

By the way Drammach, maybe you know something of this:
I have read that the Sun's activity has been steadily increasing for about the last 100 years and that this is a recurring cycle. Some suggest that this is one of the main reasons for temperature fluctuations here on Earth.
Plus, if true, the Sun's increased activity would correspond to the gradual (albeit historically small) global increase in temperatures over the past 100 years.
What say ye??

They smell bad if you don't bury them right away.

Melting Ice 'Will Swamp Capitals' And the down side to this is?...

Personally, I'm more worried about the effects of flying monkey flatulence on the environment. Sure, everyone talks about flying monkey farts, but does anyone ever do anything about them?

I am really apalled how you people can not take this serious and continue to joke about it. We really need to plan now in case this does happen.
First of all, for safety's sake, lets move the UN to Tibet next week.

Good thing I bought that "soon-to-be" beachfront land in Arizona....... According to Edgar Cayce, Lawrence, KS will become a major seaport after the subsidence of the midwestern plains and the creation of the American Inland Sea.
Likewise, Pierre, SD.
It would be wise to invest in properties in these two areas as well.. (( insanity off ))
