... As we have learned, these gases form an invisible barrier that, like a greenhouse's glass ceiling, keeps reflected heat of the sun from escaping our atmosphere. The denser that gaseous barrier grows, the hotter things get and the faster glaciers melt.
As they flow off the land, we are warned, seas rise. Yet something else is lately worrying geologists: the likelihood that the Earth's crust, relieved of so much formidable weight of ice borne for many thousands of years, has begun to stretch and rebound.

I wondered how long it would take them. Now we will have to endure the “flex earth” theory of global warming caused by SUV’S. Your Explorer is causing the volcanos to erupt.
The documented fact is that the earth is expanding in girth every year with the help of earthquakes. Selective reasoning is a liberal narcotic.

Time to put the earth on a diet and maybe a workout schedule!
I propose that it’s the weight of all those letters in the Icelander names. Elyyliayapapjailgarapskull and the capital, Ridakillerkayak? The island is being squeezed like a stomped on bull frog, I tell ya!
A 6 year old’s view of science and weather!

NON FICTION BOOK?!?!?!?!
Follow the link- The thesis of this idiocy is determined, and repeatedly touted by the lefties as “Non Fiction”! BWAHAAHAA!!!!
Talk about scientific ignorance of the highest order...
This is just so gloriously laughable, too freaking bad the left doesn’t read.
We desperately need a PLATE TECTONIC TAX to save the planet! STOP the PLATES from moving, or we are doomed! Limit population growth by Govt. funded abortions so the US doesn’t tip over and sink. ALGORE where are you? Please save us!
It’s looking like this may be a long decade. And if we don’t pull carbon out of the way we energize our lives soon, a small clump of our not-too-distant surviving descendants may find themselves, as Gaia scientist James Lovelock has direly predicted, like the first Icelanders: gathered on some near-barren hunk of rock near one of the still-habitable poles, trying yet anew to eke out a plan for human civilization.
That writer is absolutely full of himself.
No, but 12 000 years ago you could walk from Japan to China or Thailand to Indonesia without getting your feet wet.
Now THAT was global warming!
Possible catastrophism ping for an article about how global warming is causing earthquakes and volcanoes. CNN actually tries to make the case.
“When I was a child, you could walk...”
Right on - it used to be you could walk from the Antrim coast of Ireland to Scotland on the Giants Causway w/o getting your feet wet!
Algores dietary habits are going to result in a massive cardiovascular event one of these days. Think about it - significantly less ‘global warming’ from that fat blob...

You gotta see this! Mark Levin featured it on his show.
Too astounded at the stupidity to comment. Didn’t these people ever take physical sciences in high school?
I know a lady that walks from New York to London and back all the time without getting her feet wet. She’s an airline stewardess.
That was kind of you, treating a Marlin to a snack while dune buggying at low tide.
