Anybody know how much more arable land is being created due to global warming?

Oh, sorry, I forgot. We can't use land for such an earth-hurting use such as planting.

These people never can explain why about 450 million years ago, the earth was about as cold as it has ever been yet the CO2 rate was about 3 times what it is today.

You can't focus on just one thing. Even if the earth was warming there is no evidence that people are causing it.

Did I forget anything?

I'm sure there are a few, but others will contribute. :-)

If you get enough, you could work 'em into some song lyrics, a~la:

Harry Truman, Doris Day, Red China, Johnnie Ray
South Pacific, Walter Winchell, Joe DiMaggio

Joe McCarthy, Richard Nixon, Studebaker, television
North Korea, South Korea, Marilyn Monroe

Rosenbergs, H-bomb, Sugar Ray, Panmunjom
Brando, "The King and I" and "The Catcher in the Rye"

Eisenhower, vaccine, England's got a new queen
Marciano, Liberace, Santayana goodbye

contains about 75 times more carbon than the amount released into the atmosphere each year by the burning of fossil fuels

Um...so? what's the connection? All that stored carbon is NOT going to suddenly be released atmospherically in 2007. Fact is, it's mostly just gonna sit there.

I guess they'll have to rename it "tempofrost".

If all Siberian permafrost thawed and released its carbon in the form of heat-trapping carbon dioxide

It won't. Hysterical ignorance.

BTW: What enviros don't notice is that CO2 is plant food - more CO2 means more and happier plants (that's good, right?).

How did all that Carbon get locked up in the permafrost? I mean how did all those plants grow and animals live in all those permafrost conditions?

You'd almost think it was warmer in Siberia at some point in the past few million years or so (when CO2 levels were supposedly lower than today's record 380 ppm.)

I see they're upping the ante. "The sky is falling EVEN FASTER THAN WE ORIGINALLY THOUGHT!!!"

And of course, once the temperature shoots up another degree, the ice caps will melt in a matter of minutes, causing the oceans to rise so fast that millions of people on the coast will be swept away by the floods on their way home from the grocery store... then all THOSE bodies will rot, releasing MORE carbon, and then ALL the ice will melt and the WHOLE WORLD will be under water and all the people will be dead and the problem will be solved. So really, there's nothing to worry about.

Thank you. Glad you pointed out the obvious. Using that reasoning, we should immediately pave over all green areas to prevent release of carbon from anything organic. Jeeez...

Well, if it's thawing then it's not really perma-frost, now is it?
