On the other hand, global cooling wipes out huge numbers of idiots that can't compete intellectually.
What kind of dope is this guy on?
This Rooters article has convinced me we are all doomed...time to stockpile canned goods and wait for the end.
There appears to be only one solution if we are to save mankind. SHOOT EVERY BIRD YOU SEE ON SIGHT!
So exactly when did global warming start? Were there glaciers in the northern part of the lower 48 of the U.S. when Henry Ford invented the automobile?

Abortion and muzzies will wipe out Europe this time around; the plague should be the least of their worries at this point!
Why did Mom and Dad keep this from me?
My own fault for spending 9 1/2 years on an island in the South Pacific...
Probably when the feminists convinced Mommy to work outside the home.
That's the troublemakers right there. Those wascally migratory fellas. LOL!
Working on 'em whenever I can! Though now its time to take care of that nagging chronic wasting problem that plagues the deer popluation :-)
Whatever happens in the next few centuries and millenia, we can be very glad there's been lots of "global warming" in the past 10,000 years else there would still be enormous glacial ice sheets over much of Canada and the northern USA and even down to Long Island, NY:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_age
"Glaciation in North America:
The Wisconsinan glaciation has had a considerable effect on the landscape of the Northern Hemisphere. In North America, the Great Lakes and the Finger Lakes were carved by ice's deepening of old valleys. The old Teays River drainage system was radically altered and largely reshaped into the Ohio River drainage system. Other rivers were dammed and diverted to new channels, such as the Niagara, which formed a dramatic waterfall and gorge, when the waterflow encountered a limestone escarpment. Another similar waterfall near Syracuse, New York is now dry. Long Island was formed from glacial till, and the watersheds of Canada were so severely disrupted that they are still sorting themselves out — the plethora of lakes on the Canadian Shield in northern Canada can be almost entirely attributed to the action of the ice. As the ice retreated and the rock dust dried, winds carried the material hundreds of miles, forming beds of loess many dozens of feet thick in the Missouri Valley. Isostatic rebound continues to reshape the Great Lakes and other areas formerly under the weight of the ice sheets."
There is some academic debate about whether the Black Plague (so named only since the 19th century - it was simply named "pestilence" before that) was entirely the work of Yersinia pestis. A fellow named Graham Twiggs proposed that its pattern of migration implied that part of the cases were bovine-related - anthrax or brucellosis. They had no way of telling the difference in 1347 AD. Whatever it was - I am inclined toward the Y. pestis theory - it killed 30-50% of Europe. They didn't have antibiotics. We do.
I knew it had to come back to Bush somehow.
