Ace-- Drudge siren: FBI search for dirty bomb in Boston.

Hope it's a false alarm. . .

I don't have strong opinions on global warming, but:

A. "Global Warming" does not concretely indicate that everything will be warmer, all the time. In fact, freakish climates that include strangely cold weather, weird shifts are PART of global warming, from my limited understanding of the theory. So when right-wingers smart off on this literal interpretation, "ha ha, Al Gore gave a global warming speech on the coldest day in 10 years, HAW HAW!", I guess it kind of sets them up to look stupid.

B. I know that you and Dennis Miller are kidding, but a ONE degree difference in global terms has a huge impact on things like sea level, etc. So that's sort of a throwaway joke.

Bill,
the question is not really whether the world is warming right now (it is) it's whether this is caused by man or is a part of a natural cycle. The evidence that global warming is manmade is extremely tenuous at best as evidenced by the inability of any of the computer models used to prove anthropogenic global warming to accurately predict past weather based on levels of CO2 in the air. In fact there are interesting studies that have been able to compare global temperature changes to changes in the level of solar energy released by the sun. I will admit however that when you get the proponents from both sides together the answer usually is we cant be sure what is causing the changes.

Look at it this way, in 5 Billion years the sun will run out of fuel, expand and deep fry the Big Blue Marble.
But in 3 Billion years, the Andromeda Galaxy is going to collide with the Milky Way most likely destroying both galaxies. Either way, the Earth is screwed.
And you'll have been dead and recycled a few times over by then anyway. So DON"T PANIC!

OH MY GOD! THE ICE CAPS ARE MELTING!

And they are, you know. ON FUCKING MARS, WHERE THERE ARE NO GODDAMNED SUV'S. Now can we all chill the fuck out a bit, and admit that maybe, just maybe, global warming is due to solar activity rather than "greenhouse gases"?

Besides, I never did like cold weather, and the thought of hurricanes and tsunami's wiping out all the Leftards on the coasts just gives me a tremendous stiffy.

What? I have the Wolcottizer turned on a little bit high? Sorry, strike that last paragraph.

All this global warming talk is making me nostalgic about the good old days when all we had to worry about was overpopulation and the ensuing mass starvation it would bring.

Personally, I'm hoping for a massive meteor to strike the earth and wipe out humanity sometime in the next 50 years....you know, just to show those environmental whackos how wrong they are about worrying about global warming so much.

BIG E -

I'm not arguing for or against the fact that the Earth is generally warming, or that greenhouse gases are or aren't responsible. Just that the simple assumption that the climate changes will always result in tangibly warmer weather is kind of dumb.
