Yikes, third time this week had to move my lawnmower.

When it hits 200 miles, I got beach front property!

Unless, of course, we head into a new ice age.

...conditions last seen 129,000 years ago, between the last two ice ages ...

In other words, a return to the natural state of things as the earth goes through its cycles.

"During the last 10 years, we have seen only about 10 percent of the greenhouse warming expected during the next 100 years"

Let me give you some more startling statistics:

50% of all doctors were in the lower half of their class.
2/5ths of all sick leave by american workers were taken on Monday or Friday.
62.3% of all statistics you read on the internet were made up on the spot.

It looks like the chinese have discovered the liberal method of predicting adversity. Make dire predictions on such a scale that they are unverifiably long. Those who might remember your alarmism are long dead when your time scale expires.

If the oceans rise by meters in 100 years, how much will the level rise by December 31, 2007?

Meanwhile there's bird flu and the tali ban, which the chicoms will likely join up with to at to the misery. GW? Ya ain't gotta chance, go away.

The sooner they swamp downtown Santa Cruz, the better.

[goodnesswins]

Hey....make it the whole LEFT Coast and you got a deal!

[freedumb2003]

10 posts and I am the first to say it?

It is all BUSH'S FAULT!

Meanwhile there's bird flu and the tali ban.

And also West Nile, it's a killer.

[Rightwing Conspiratr1]

I fail to see the downside. Warmer is good. More water is good.

Unless, of course, we head into a new ice age.

And, Rush did a good piece on global warming. More stuff was thrown into the air when Karakatoa blew than all the smog by petroleum burning. Teh there's Mt. Vesuvius, Mt. St. Helens...

According to the computer simulations

Garbage in, garbage out.

[Mr170IQ]

You've got to love these computer sims which assume future unlimited exponential growth.

Current ocean level growth rates are 3mm per year, of which only about ten percent is supposedly due to melting ice. That adds up to exactly one foot in a hundred years. By assuming exponential growth in the rate of sea level rise, they project a rise ten or twenty TIMES higher.

The reason they are posting such absurd numbers is obvious. Nobody is going to spend billions trying to avoid a sea level rise of only 1 foot.

[goldstategop]

I won't be around in a 100 years. Big deal if the ocean rises up a couple of feet.

[John Valentine]

That looks more like 100% to me... ;>)

[spokeshave]

BINGO....we have a winner.....

Unless we we have an ice age"

Global warming melts the ice so turning off the warm gulf stream and ....voila....instant ice age.

[BJungNan]

Unless, of course, we head into a new ice age.

Can't do that. We already had a "coming ice age" back in the late 60's early 70's.

What will they dream up next?!
