Who cares, let the future generations deal with the adaptations needed to live in this world.


Hell, we had to adapt.

Just a lot to do about nothing in my lowly opinion.

[dangus]

ADAPT?? CHANGE??? With ocean levels rising FIVE WHOLE F***ING INCHES???!!! How can mankind ever SURVIVE? Do you not realize the dire threat we face as a species?

BARBARA STREISAND'S BEACH COTTAGE MAY BE ENDANGERED!!!

I long for the good old days when the Earth was never changing.

[rellimpank]

--The early versions of the report predict that by 2100 the sea level will rise anywhere between 5 and 23 inches.----

--means that the prediction isn't of any value whatsoever--by the way, is there any evidence anywhere that the oceans have risen at all in the last few decades?

REPLY: LOL and now ROFLMAO

Yep, I sure am glad you brought this to my attention.

I will immediately sell my SUV and buy one of those foreign cars that gets 100 miles to the gallon.

Lets See! I know a Honda Pissus or Toyota Pricksass.

As for Babbling Babs Streisand, My dearly departed dad used to say that "Streisand would never want for a handle (nose)to carry her face into the house from the rain".

Just another radical solution seeking a new utopia where the earth and its climate are under man's control. In he meatime, in Alexandria, Minneosta last night the low was -10 F.

some of that could be nothing more than normal cosmic activity,, lunar and solar effects is also at play to some degree.

I'm hard pressed to present clear evidence of that but I defer my trust on the "FR brainiacs" and if it's around, it's either been posted or will be. ;-)

I recall seeing studies of sediment strata and levels and rock layers and other stuff way too deep for me. lol

I am hopeful that global warming is real.The mid west had warm fall like temperatures through December. Wow! a perpetual fall no winter, great news. No, now it's cold as any winter.

I'm so disappointed.

Once upon a time, some rulers ruled because they had mastered the secrets of predicting the natural phenomenon of solar eclipses and exploited that knowledge to awe and command the citizenry. Today, its is clear that all planets in the solar system are warming. Had someone discovered that naturally occurring phenomenon a few years ago, they could have ridden it to political power (Gore comes to mind) by exploiting it the same way ancient rulers exploited the solar eclipses. I believe in taking care of the planet, and believe all mankind should possess a sense of stewardship over our tiny little world. However, I will not me motivated to do so at the expense of the truth.

I hear the ice is thick enough to fish on safely,, I miss that and innertubing summer or winter. :-)

Prince Charles, seen here in November 2006, has left on
a visit to the United States where he will highlight the
government efforts to fight global warming.

21,000 years ago a two mile sheet of ice covered Chicago. That is only five times greater than recorded human history. Now, when it looks like the climate might be getting a few degrees warmer, we're shocked and amazed by the unprecedented changes.

Idiots.

The global warming fanatics are desperately trying to put their spin on the UN IPCC reports, before they are published.

I've recently been reading the 2001 reports posted on line -- and I wish I'd done so years ago. The IPCC reports are the best single source of information to refute hysterical nonsense coming from Al Gore and his ilk.

While I remain unconvinced that there is any human caused global warming at all -- I wouldn't be nearly as concerned about the issue if the MSM simply ignored the fanatics and reported what is actually in the IPCC reports. (BTW, my concern has to do with the mass panic being whipped up -- and the expensive, even draconian "solutions" being put forward by the fanatics.)

All wrong. Leave globle warming as a boobie trap for Bin Laddie. Let him worry about it. How much the ocean does or doesn't rise is just so much piss in the wind. Most of these cruds who push all this dooms day stuff are all for Bin Laddie on the WOT.
