Eisboch Most republicans think that global warming isn't happening in any way, man made or otherwise. Imagine how awful they must feel realizing that someone won the Nobel prize for something they believe to be fictitous. This is the citation of the Nobel Committee: "Indications of changes in the earth's future climate must be treated with the utmost seriousness, and with the precautionary principle uppermost in our minds. Extensive climate changes may alter and threaten the living conditions of much of mankind. They may induce large-scale migration and lead to greater competition for the earth's resources. Such changes will place particularly heavy burdens on the world's most vulnerable countries. There may be increased danger of violent conflicts and wars, within and between states." So, if I have this straight, Gore won for proselytizing a less than universally accepted "scientific" theory which, presumably, has led to action which prevented (or not) possible future competition for resources, possible future conflicts, and future wars which haven't happened yet and which may (or may not) ever occur because they are only a possibility. I think is a great precedent! If one can win a Nobel Peace Prize for preventing events from transpiring which never actually would have happened anyway, than I am your man. Year 2050: Shortwave Sportfishing's posting of the first rec.boats low transom thread is finally received by the residents of Omicron Perseii VIII, saving the Earth from brutal annexation.

Racism? Corruption? Is it illegal? |

They are a lot more concerned with foreign ships dumping their water here (along with zebra mussels and other exotics) Different issue. I'm talking about water being illegally exported for use as drinking water. It doesn't seem like it could have much of an impact on such big lakes, but apparently, it's true. I'll see if I can wade through my 83 billion bookmarks and find you some information. Mostly, I've just read local newspaper articles. Is it illegal to take water from the Great Lakes to other countries? What about the water flowing into the Atlantic? Are you going to arrest the Atlantic Ocean? |

What caused the mid-west dust bowl in the 30's? Was that global warming? Is every occurrence of drought caused by global warming? What happens when the rains come again, has global warming stopped? There's no evidence to suggest that the droughts were man caused, but man's farming practices surely increased the severity of the dust storms. |

There's no evidence to suggest that the droughts were man caused, but man's farming practices surely increased the severity of the dust storms. Then again, man's farming practices (at least here in the US) have raised ag production and made the US probably the leader in world food distribution. |

That prize is more political than merit. Has been for at least 10-20 years now. Take a look at Gore's electric bill via Google. Does not practice what he preaches. Hypocrite. Global warming or not. Besides I like the idea of fishing in Minnesota in January with sun screen. Why should Florida get all the fun. Sour grapes. The nobel peace prize is the most prestigious award in the world.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I correctly predicted to my wife that the conservatives would go absolutely insane because of this! |
