Poison ivy may grow more virulent
The Hartford Courant
Poison ivy of the future may be a lot worse. Researchers have
monitored
the growth of poison ivy vines in today's atmospheric conditions and
in
conditions with elevated carbon dioxide concentrations, which global
warming is expected to produce by midcentury. Not only did the
elevated
carbon dioxide boost poison ivy growth, but it also increased the
most
toxic form of urushiol, the plant chemical that causes the itchy
rash in
humans. The findings should interest a lot of people because a
separate
U.S. Forest Service study found that up to 85 percent of humans are
susceptible to poison ivy.
If it is the Hartford Courant, you can bet they have nothing more
than
a political agenda driving 90% of the stories they print. In a recent
survey, the HC was found to be the second most biased news paper in
the country. All they really do is copy the NYT stories and add a
little political propoganda to keep it lively. There is little news
worth reading there. Sorry Harry, the HC is little more than a PR
firm
for the Democratic Party.
Go scratch yourself. The Courant wrapping fish is more reliable than
FakedFauxNews.- Hide quoted text -

And Harry, without fighting about it, you would probably be considered
by a majority as left, even far left, your talking points tease
ideologue. I don't expect you to view the HC as biased.
I'm a middle of the road leftie. BTW, I looked at today's editorial
page at the Courant. Real radical stuff, calling for resumption of
inspections of highway bridges, a bit about golf, and a hit on a state
agency that loaned money to Enron.

BTW, about 72% of the country now believes Bush is a total, complete
F.U. Maybe the problem with the Courant is...you.- Hide quoted text -

Well I think he is a FU too, and a pussy but then again, I am not an
ideologue. I did not do the study, you do not live here to see what
that paper and it's extreme left (sell out to insurance companies and
anyone else with a buck) agenda has done to our state. The HC is on a
mission, just cause you agree with the mission does not make it
unbiased. Although you may consider yourself middle of the road, most
who read you would take your support of the HC alone as proof positive
of it's biased agenda. Like I said, I live here, my dad reads the
Journal Inquirer which basically copies the Courant and the Times word
for word.


I hate to break this news to you, but...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hartford_Courant

"While the Courant editorially has recently endorsed Republican presidential
candidates, its editorial approach to state government has traditionally
been liberal and opposed to what it considers short sighted conservatism.
Its strong endorsement of former Senator Lowell Weicker was decisive in the
1990 gubernatorial election. It endorsed his Lieutenant Governor Eunice
Groark in the 1994 election. After Governor John Rowland abandoned efforts
to repeal the state income tax and endorsed state funded redevelopment of
downtown Hartford, he received the Courant's endorsement for his re-election
bids. The Courant's investigation into his dealings with state contractors
was a major force behind his political demise and resignation from office,
however. In 2006 the Courant reverted to form by endorsing liberal Democrat
John DeStefano, Jr. for Governor.
Following its traditional stance towards supporting expansive state
government, the Courant then strongly endorsed Governor Jodi Rell's 2007
plan to raise the state income tax and exceed the state's constitutional
spending cap."








So? What's the point? And what has this to do with poison ivy?

Harry, this is short-bus logic. It's why special ed teachers aren't paid
anywhere near what it's worth to put up with this gibberish day in and day
out.

Well, if the HC is suggesting that Global Warming is causing changes
in Poison Ivy, I meerely suggest that folks get a second opinon before
stating it as fact. That was my point, you want to fight, go ahead.
Again, I am out of this pee pee contest, I know what I know.

About the same as your previous posts did. ;-)

You don't know what you don't know. Everyone agrees that the planet's
getting warmer. The debate is about whether human activity in one of the
causes.

justwait whoever he is initially suggested that an article about poison ivy
was not to be trusted because the newspaper was biased. He did not read the
article he was referring to.

The wiki thing YOU posted also has nothing to do with the poison ivy
article, which you did not read. Please read all the messages in the thread
before pretending to "help".

Insurance companies are not representatives of the extreme left.

Hartford has always been "insurance city." The fact that the major
newspaper supports the insurance industry should not surprise you.

If you're against trial lawyers, does that mean you support the
insurance industry?
If you're against unions, does that mean you support offshoring of
jobs?
If you're against nuclear power, does that mean you support the
atmospheric pollution caused by burning coal?
If you're against GWB, does that mean you support Al Queida?
If you're against grunts, does that mean you support grouper?
Damn it's so confusing!
