California and growing

Believe it or not, California has glaciers and they’re growing.

How can this be with GW?

Haven’t you heard? Globull warming is CAUSING this FREAK of nature! </sarc>

Carbon was also the topic of a presentation by Paul Higgins of Stanford University, who studies how ecological systems respond to climate change. Higgins calculated that if all Americans under the age of 64 walked or biked to work instead of driving, the U.S. could save more oil each year than the total amount of oil expected to be in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Furthermore, the walking and biking could take care of America’s obesity problem, Higgins said.

But if there were no obese people, fewer would die each year. There would be more people consuming products and services, which in turn would create more "carbon footprints". We need to encourge people to eat more junk food, excercise less, and start smoking to save the environment!

in San Francisco, when about 10,000 scientists gathered to present their work and catch up on the research of others... In other oil and carbon-based news, my own informal poll showed that hybrid gas/electric vehicles are catching on in San Francisco. I counted more than two dozen hybrid cars on the roads, most of them Toyota Prius sedans, Honda Civics and Honda Insights.

Most of the dumb**** fly in burning carbon credits up the wazoo.

...You mean Rob Reiner is getting fatter?

Ice cores show drops in CO2 levels during times of great human die-offs, such as the Roman plague and the Black Death.

Cooler atmospheric temperatures cause increased retention of carbon dioxide in the ocean, just as rising temperatures release it.

This is an honest question. Have Alaska’s glaciers shrunk this year?

[Waco]

Idiots! Humans exhaling carbon dioxide constantly. What is their goal? Justifing more genocide to reduce CO2 emissions.

[television is just wrong]

but we need c02 for plants...it is not poisonous, just plant more plants...

" You may be interested to know that global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters are a direct effect of the shrinking numbers of Pirates since the 1800s. For your interest, I have included a graph of the approximate number of pirates versus the average global temperature over the last 200 years. As you can see, there is a statistically significant inverse relationship between pirates and global temperature."

Ice Core data has been shown to be mostly hogwash anyway.

[Rocky]

Now, that’s what I call science. Thank you for introducing some sanity into this discussion.

Send the graph to AlGore. I think I see another Nobel prize on the horizon.

Hadn't heard that. Got a link?

CYA on all possibilities...

So this is why the climate in D.C. is not being effected.
