We must act yesterday because today is too late

[Popman]

If we fail to act, future historians may wonder from behind high sea walls

What freaking morons these people are...

If the ice caps melted we could see a 200 ' rise in sea levels, but since the average temperature in Antarctica is -37°C, so the ice there is in no danger of melting.

So let's pretend that we are idiot global warming alarmist...

If the Antarctica ice cap ( 7,000 ft thick) COULD melt, just how how hot the rest of the world be ? ...

It would need to be near 200 ' F ....in other words uninhabitable...

...and they call us science deniers...

Calls them myths with absolutely no information to back this up.

Those very same “myths” are used regularly by the Left against causes they don’t favor.

The functional equivalent of that — a cap-and-trade system — worked spectacularly well when Congress required marketable permits for discharging sulfur dioxide (SO2) in 1995. Acid rain caused by SO2 emissions quickly plummeted, at about one-sixth the cost predicted. Once people have to pay for their emissions, they find ingenious ways of reducing them

THIS, confirms what I've always feared: Non-Technical people will assume we can control CO2 the same way we did SO2. They don't have a clue. It's no-where near in the same category.

Bastard says that June was the 15th hottest June during the period 1981-2013. So how does that make it the hottest on record? Was the AC unit broken in the NYT’s newsroom?

Check out Iceagenow.com and you will see that it has been abnormally cold globally.

The summer of 2012 was among the hottest and driest I remember in my neck of the woods but last summer was cool to average and this summer has been downright cold here. It got down into the 40s here a couple nights ago.

"hottest ones on record for the planet

Which planet?

[mc5cents]

I believe that 1934 was the warmest year since records have been taken and in 1935 the hurricane with the lowest barometric pressure ever recorded struck the upper Florida Keys on Labor day.

We must act yesterday because today is too late

How are our scientists doing on that time machine?

[abclily]

OK!! Everybody pay attention!

Lesson for today:

1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.

2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls the climates of all its planets.

3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.

4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.

5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.

Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
