It must be removed from the hands of amateurs such as Algore and put under the rules of debate of Congress.

That's an improvement?
Just asking.

No one up there anyway and as Hiroshima and Nagaski proved, the land will be habitable relatively quickly.

The other conspiracy. I understand it was actually done in a studio.

Have you actually been to Hiroshima and Nagasaki?

Just asking.

“Have you actually been to Hiroshima and Nagasaki?”

Personally, no. Friends and family have been there.

Charles, you're obviously a genious. Tell me. What caused the same magnitude floods 200 years ago?

It is possible to ignore global warming because its natural and we cannot do anything to stop it.

Floods=global warming is an explanation that appeals only to simpletons looking to be provided with a readymade posture on an issue that precludes any further thinking while also providing them with a “we-care” attitude and some semblance of scientific “sophistication” as they dutifully parrot the talking points. Don’t ever try to dig deeper-—all you’ll get is more talking points, until even those run out, in no time, and you’ll finally be insulted as a idiot rightwinger, as these Goreheads about-face and get out as fast as they can.

Yo, Clive. Or Jeeves or whatever your name is, if it wasn't for Global Warming, Great Britain wouldn't even exist.

90,000 years ago, The Land of Tea and Crumpets was under a thousand feet of glaciers.

THAT is a FRameable post. Every Republican politician should have a framed copy in his office!

Karl Rove. He’s dialed down the hurricane machine the past few years just to piss off and confound the enviro whackos.

The great floods of 1947

Sixty years ago Britain suffered floods similar to those seen this week. Back then, the deluge came after heavy snow, and Canada sent food parcels. By Martin Wainwright

Britain is no world-beater when it comes to flood prevention and control, but the country has few equals in putting up memorials to great soakings of the past. Everywhere from York to Gloucester via London, notched poles mark the riversides, engraved with historic high-water levels.

There have been many in Britain -- but 1947 is the one that the Guardian (of all papers) chose to compare to present conditions.

The acholites of the new faith might as well say the fact night follows day is proof of human created global warming.

I guess since we now make enough food to feed the world, the poverty creation industry needs a new way to create suffering.

No not creationism. Though secular evolution does remind me of global warming in some ways. Particularly the insistent on blurring the gulf between organisms and purposely ignoring epigenetic differences while making assertions that man and apes are only slightly different genetically.

I hear so often these wonderful fairy tales being woven as if they are facts assigning purpose to evolutionary events as if the organisms were somehow driving their own evolution. The insistence on the purist idea of no purposeful mechanism in evolution while writing stories that act as if one moth consciously mimicked the genetics of a bad tasting moth so as to avoid being eaten. I believe the evolutionary process is an intelligent extraordinarily complex one.

We no more understand the extent of that complexity than we do that of climate. The arrogance is in proclaiming the debate is over because one group of scientists or politicians do not wish to acknowledge the debate.

Hmmm. The worst in 200 years. So does that mean that there were terrible floods in the past, but for the last 200 years they haven’t been that bad? So if it’s Global Warming causing THESE floods, does it also mean that the floods in the past were caused by Global Warming? Inquiring minds want to know.

Most hurricanes hit the U.S. in the months of September and October after the ocean has warmed through the summer months.

Last year was a bust for global warming alarmists, but they still have a shot this year.

And on the other hand, this article has an astounding theory about global warming and floods:

Water Experts Find Earth’s Warming, Rainfall Linked to Sun

By Dennis T. Avery, Hudson Institute
Tuesday, July 24, 2007

A team of water experts says the pattern of droughts and floods in South Africa shows our global warming was triggered by the variability of the sun’s irradiance rather than by human-emitted CO2. They say variations in South African rainfall patterns are keyed to periodic reversals of the sun’s magnetic field—and to the constantly changing distance between the sun and the earth as both move through space.

In South Africa, alternate 11-year sunspot cycles produce opposite rainfall results. One complete “double sun cycle” occurs every 20.8 years: the “first” cycle brings a big flood, followed by a small drought; the next brings a big drought, followed by a small flood.
