Ever since FNC offered up Robert Kennedy as a special correspondent on its much ballyhooed global warming report, Fox has become a sucker for the gaiaist apocalyptic syndrome. Yesterdays report on Lohachara Island was an another example of junk science gone wild.
The Fox story began with this bold headline:
An inhabited island has been wiped off the face of the Earth due to global warming, Britains The Independent newspaper reported on Sunday.
Remote Lohachara Island was in the Indian part of the Sundarbans , a vast mangrove delta where the Ganges empties into the Bay of Bengal on the Indian-Bangladeshi border.
Rising sea levels have swallowed the island whole, according to the report. It was once home to 10,000 people.

There ya go.
Once they get going they're like tribbles.
Oh they're definitely a western "thing"
I live in Merryland now and can honestly say I have never seen a jackalope east of the Mississippi.
PLease define what you mean by "riding" ;-)
This isn't exactly a debate but I think you'll enjoy it.
Takes about 10 min of your time
Sorry...but it's still worth it.
PERIOD!!!
I done been to Park City, Utah and didn't see a single Jackalope. Saw a Mormon or two, though.
Hey Grandpa Jones, I miss yore pickin', stompin' and singin' since you done been reported to be expired. Or fizzled, as the case may be.
It's good to be missed. Ever since I expired, I started blogging.
Then you missed all the restaurants and sporting goods stores on Main St.
Check 'em out next time yer back.
If you can catch one.
Hmmm. You know, that would explain a LOT of the blogs I seen.
You know, now that I think about it a bit more, I think I might like "eco-tards" better.
