Who believes in Global Warming?

“Can we just get the rain to stop falling up here? My house is going to start floating if we get another 3 inches.”

“When the Bush's put the Kennebunkport house on the Market, I will believe in global warming.”

“Our local weatherman is telling us that our above average temperatures here are because we are getting warm winds from the south rather than our usual colder winds from the north. Is my total hatred for the environment now also changing the wind direction or is our local weatherman a secret neocon operative being paid by Big Oil and GWB?”

“LOL..I can see it in 100 years when the kids are studying the attempted destruction of Freedom under the "Chruch of GlobalSocialisim" they will giggling like we do when we look at some of the interesting "scientific" facts from the 1800's”

“Subprime gets around?”

“http://www.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUSL1146182220080111

LOL! It's BECAUSE of gl-bal warming, right guys?

LOL!”

“Global Expanded Temperature Range-GETR boys.”

“haha, tell me, is the water level higher there than the rest of the coastline or did that land area sink?”

OSLO (Reuters) - Climate change is still nudging up temperatures in the long term even though the warmest year was back in 1998 and 2008 has begun with unusual weather such as a cool Pacific and Baghdad's first snow in memory, experts said.

"Global warming has not stopped," said Amir Delju, senior scientific coordinator of the World Meteorological Organization's (WMO) climate program.

Last year was among the six warmest years since records began in the 1850s and the British Met Office said last week that 2008 will be the coolest year since 2000, partly because of a La Nina event that cuts water temperatures in the Pacific.

"We are in a minor La Nina period which shows a little cooling in the Pacific Ocean," Delju told Reuters. "The decade from 1998 to 2007 is the warmest on record and the whole trend is still continuing."

This year has started with odd weather including the first snows in Baghdad in memory on Friday and a New Year cold snap in India that killed more than 20 people. Frost hit some areas of Florida last week but orange groves escaped mostly unscathed.

Iraqis welcomed snow as an omen of peace. "It's the first time we've seen snow in Baghdad," said 60-year-old Hassan Zahar. "I looked at the faces of all the people, they were astonished."

LOL!”

“LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

bill."”

“LOL...amazing...we had snow in Augusta the other day.....”

“Hey Y2, Isn't la Nina supposed to end soon? So what's your excuse for next year going to be?”

“This one is from last year in Mass...

“Boy all the wingnuts got threaded off and lost in the snows of Global Cooling. Nutz and Libbies , who needs the comedy channel?”

“LOL..Global Warming, because there can be no solution without infriging on rights.”

“You have the power of the vote to put the fed back in the business it was designed for, but you all want to rip up the constitution and biblize it to include country construction .com.”

“Country Construction? WTF are you babbling about today?”

If you have been too intoxicated or out of it for the last 7 to 15 years it would totally beyond hope to try to explain to you the term "National Security".”

“You still have the monopoly on nonsence, ride on Anti.”

“LOL..many of you may be too young to remember the last time the LIBBIES predicted the Destruction of Mankind....it was following the election of Ronaldus Magnus (Ronald Reagan) and the hollywierd libbies put out this hilarious movie predicting the end of the world "Nuke" wise if we didn't bend over and kiss the Soviets tail end like JIMUH had done....

Unfortunatly Reagan didn't listen to the libbies...and he kept escalating and escalating...and then just like the libbies predicted the war broke...oh wait..no the soviets cumbled..and WE WON!!!!!>”

“So, we should do that to the rest of the world?”

“YOu just don't get it do you....Un..you guys have been predicting the DOOM OF MAN unless the world were turned over to GOVERNMENT to run out lives..since I can remember.

AND you have been right ZIP ZERO NADA times. You keep telling us we are all dead unless we give up and let you and your gov buddies take care of us. Sorry but I know your ilk, your own lives are so pitiful it is just easier to run other people's lives than look at your miserable failure of an existence...(LOL)”

“Yep, and it was Mission accompished in Iraq.

Democracy will spread throughout the Middle East.

Healthcare Bills aren't hitting the consumer.

Gas prices aren't at all high.

Oh, and the economy is doing just great.”

“Wasn't it the government (Reagan) that did what you were just gloating about? Seems like you want it both ways (I always suspected you were like that, lol).”

“y2, we're all going to be very sad when you have to sell your computer and disable your internet service due to your tough times.”

“You're right XL, I want government to run everything . That's why I'm voting for Ron Paul and want our government out of the other countries business as well as our own. Gain some consistency about what gov. should and shouldn't do. You are saying our gov.(socialist military) is right and anyone that disagrees is a socialist worker.
Can't understand why you want the US gov to run the world.

“Sweden to consult Canada in study measuring methane emitted by belching cows
Published: Monday, January 21, 2008 | 1:22 PM ET
Canadian Press: THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

STOCKHOLM, Sweden - A Swedish university has received $590,000 in research funds to measure the greenhouse gases released when cows belch.

About 20 cows will participate in the project run by the Swedish University for Agricultural Sciences in Uppsala, north of Stockholm.

Cattle release methane, a greenhouse gas believed to contribute to global warming, when they digest food.

Researchers believe the level of methane released depends on the type of food.

Project leader Jan Bertilsson says that the cows involved in the study will have different diets and wear a collar device measuring the methane level in the air around them.

He said 95 per cent of the methane released by cows comes out through the mouth.”

“Ha! That is excellent, strat.”

“LMAO --- !”

“....just change your prediction. Now it's FEWER hurricanes.

“Global Warming Teach-In Coming to Campuses Nationwide
By Evan Moore
CNSNews.com Correspondent
January 23, 2008

(CNSNews.com) - On Jan. 31, the environmental advocacy group Focus the Nation will hold a teach-in on more than 1,000 college campuses nationwide to discuss solutions for global warming. The event is based on the premise that scientific debate about the existence of global warming is "over." Many critics, however, say the teach-in is an attempt to end debate and advance "draconian" public policies.

In an interview with Cybercast News Service, Alex Tinker, public relations director for Focus the Nation, said the idea behind the teach-in model is inclusion: It "engages students across all disciplines on a campus, not just the usual suspects who would come to a special environmentally oriented event, so that you can actually reach an audience big enough to reach that critical mass to get real legislation passed in Washington."

The teach-in, as defined by Focus the Nation's Web site, "is a day when an entire school turns its attention to a single issue -- when faculty, students, and staff put aside business as usual, and focus the full weight of campus engagement on one topic."

Tinker noted that the majority of hosting universities are not planning on halting classes altogether, but many are planning on incorporating the message of the teach-in into the content of regularly scheduled classes.

"The premise behind Focus the Nation is that 'The science is in. Global warming is real," said Tinker. "There's no longer a meaningful scientific debate about whether or not global warming is caused by human kind - the debate should be about what policy solutions we need to enact to address it."

Tinker said Focus the Nation is encouraging students to adopt policy solutions they deem prescriptive and to lobby their congressmen on global warming.

Some of the solutions that Focus the Nation offers include a tax on emissions, increased support for biofuels, and the creation of 1 million new "green jobs" - workers who would service America's infrastructure to be more ecologically friendly.

Critics blast

George C. Landrith, president of Frontiers of Freedom, a conservative think tank, criticized Tinker and Focus the Nation. "I've talked to way too many scientists - many of whom are on the IPCC [the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change] - who look at the data and don't see a human footprint," Landrith told Cybercast News Service.

"They don't see this as something that we're causing, and they don't see this as catastrophic. They see it as natural and largely benign. We definitely and absolutely disagree with the idea that 'science is certain, the debate is over, blah blah blah.'"

"If the debate were over, there wouldn't be literally hundreds of scientists stepping up and saying 'No, this is wrong,' and people like Al Gore and his ilk wouldn't be working so hard to make sure that they cut off discussion," said Landrith. "The truth is that they're engaging in polemics, not science."

Fluctuations in climate have always occurred throughout history, he said. In the latter part of the 20th century there was a "modest, one degree warming," said Landrith, which is "well within the natural norms."

Before Congress adopts "draconian regulatory regimes" to supposedly fight global warming - killing thousands of jobs in the process - we need to ensure "we have our science right," he said.

Some reaction

George Mason University, in Fairfax, Va., will host another Focus the Nation teach-in on Jan. 29. In an interview with Cybercast News Service, the university's press secretary, Dan Walsch, said, "This is an issue that a number of faculty members are heavily interested in, on a professional and personal level," and after a series of meetings, the school decided to hold the teach-in.

Walsch added that the school does not have a policy position on global warming.

Dane Styler, managing director of Connect2Mason, a Web site focusing on the GMU community, told Cybercast News Service that students had just returned to school on Tuesday and there was not much campus buzz on the teach-in.

He noted, however, that GMU has devoted itself to eco-friendly measures for the past few years. These include developing a sustainability office to highlight measures on campus to improve the college's environmental impact.

Styler said he thinks global warming is real, manmade, and poses a threat to civilization. "The data's there," he said. "We're producing enough gasses and chemicals that there's actually been a change in the [atmospheric] temperature."

Celia Taylor, a GMU alumna, disagreed with Styler but told Cybercast News Service that she was nonetheless pleased with her alma mater.

"Even if I disagree on the stance on the issue, I have always applauded Mason for being involved," she said. "Doing so not only makes the institution a national name but also involves, engages, and encourages its students to think critically, even to disagree," Taylor said.

"I will continue to vocalize my support of the school and its involvement in current issues at the same time that I vocalize my disagreement on this particular issue," she added.”

“22" in Iran, more than in a decade ...”

With that standard, willy jeff would be the best prez in the last decade.hehe”

“Because he has 22 inches?”

“Fewer HURRICANES....OH GOD...thats it we will be waxed this year. Thanks a pant load there scientists. Didn't you get it when you predict higher than normal nothing happens.”

“Even though all indications are global warming isn't happening nearly at the rate even Gore predicted ...

Climate change 'significantly worse' than feared: Al Gore

Climate change is occurring far more rapidly than even the worst predictions of the UN's Nobel Prize-winning scientific panel on climate change, Al Gore said on Thursday.
Recent evidence shows "the climate crisis is significantly worse and unfolding more rapidly than those on the pessimistic side of the IPCC projections had warned us," climate campaigner and former US vice-president Gore said.

There are now forecasts that the North Pole ice caps may disappear entirely during summer months within five years, he told a gathering at the World Economic Forum in Davos.

Got that? 5 years the caps will be gone folks ... and in 8 years, 3 days we're all DOOMED! (Rush has a countdown clock for that one)
