: Actually, global cooling is a hell of a lot scarier than global warming. Gordon But, not if you're a President in the OIL BUSINESS like the VP is too.... The only people threatened by global warming are waterfront millionaires and energy companies. Global warming, if it were true, would solve our food problem because the expansion of the growing season and tropical conditions that can create vast crops INCREASES with temperature! The world starves to death in ICE AGES! It's 67F in Charleston. Global Warm me another 10 degrees, please....thanks. |

You need to do a bit more research about GWing before you say stuff like this... it's not just about the increase in temp. It's about variability and extremes. In addition, if you think what happened in New Orleans was bad, wait until we get a rise in the ocean. Of course, I am in favor of it for sailing purposes only. LOL -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

Most of this planet are populated by third world countries who are trying to become first worlders. Good for them. But they are ignoring any conservation practices in their rush for this status.

Conservators are outnumbered at least 1000 to 1 (guesswork) probably more. Even if I wanted to help, it ain't gonna. It has to be a global attempt or nothing at all. My 2c -- Molesworth |

@corp.supernews.com: It's 67F in Charleston. Global Warm me another 10 degrees, please....thanks. Hell, that's middle of the summer here! Gordon When I call back to my hometown on Owasco Lake in upstate NY, I always ask, "What day was Summer last year?"....(c; I never realized how miserable upstate NY was until the Navy sent me to Charleston. We just accepted the cold and rain and slush and snow up to your ass as "normal". I tell everyone here it's a great place to be FROM. It's pretty in the fall when the leaves get that first blast of Canada Dry....if you're a VISITOR. When my parents got old in Orangeburg, SC, where Smith-Corona transferred my dad down from Groton, NY, in the same freezing valley as Moravia, from SCM's Groton sweatshop, they had this crazy idea to move "back home" to be near my Grandmother, instead of her having to come to SC for the winter. It was a terrible mistake, of course, and they all like to froze to death wintering over. They moved back the following Spring and would get mad at me if I brought up the whole scheme, which was kinda fun for a few years afterwards when some other scatterbrained idea entered their drifting minds. Everybody's gone, now and my mind is the one that's drifting..... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moravia...29%2C_New_York We Moravians always feel guilty and apologize for the rotten President Fillmore and one of the biggest *******s ever to come out of the town, John D Rockefeller, who starved millions for money. I don't know why Wikipedia makes so much of either of them. The state punishes us by naming roads and the state park after them so we don't forget our sordid past..... It really WAS a nice place to grow up as a kid before the greedy politicians let the state buy a farm and turn it into a PRISON CAMP for career criminals..... Idiots..... The rich people on the lake had 40hp Scott-A****ers or 50hp Kiekauffer Mercury outboards. My grandfather had a Scott. It spent most of its time in the shop trying to figure out how to get such a simple motor to run more than 5 hours MTBF. |
