Ooops! How embarassing. Global warming ends!

. . . You will be like the frog in the pan slowly heating up!

Here are two covers from Time Magazine from the 70's predicting a coming ice age. The other is from 2006 warning about global warming. Give me a break.

Back in the '80's Hansen said big parts of NYC would be underwater within 20 years. . . (insert cyber crickets chirping here).

I think it was also Hansen who presented a graph to Congress indicating "worst case" if CO2 levels continued on track and "best case" if CO2 output was held constant. . . worldwide CO2 levels have continued to increase, temperatures haven't even approached the "best case" let alone the "worst case" in short, he was off by about 150% or so.

I'm not sure how many of the leftists here actually ever worked as scientests. As someone who actually has done R&D for a living, designed experiments, performed conclusions, defended budgets etc., my opinion is that AGW resembles a fucking video game more than science.

Now back to the regular programming.

If any left here work(ed) as scientists and are pro aGW, they are likely being paid by a govt agency in some form.

Its generally acknowledged that 10,000 years ago NYC was under 2 kilometers of icesheet.

The 'tipping point' that so many eco-facists squawked about a few years ago turned to be their 'tripping point.'

Some time before that we were under water ... think it was pretty deep ..

.... but I wasn't actually here then.

I have seen the fossils though up in the Hill Country.

I guess the water up North froze and sucked it all up from down here?

Flood insurance is gonna get even higher down here ...

... as the water starts rising again.

You know how those fossils got up to the 5,000 foot level...God put them there as a joke and as objects of consternation.

[dilbert firestorm]

2 ways how marine fossils are found in unlikely places.

1. sea level was much higher than it used to be.

2. plate tectonics/earth uplift - which explains marine fossils found at 5000 feet or more.

there is a really weird fossil find that was found not too long ago. They found fossil footprints on the walls of a cliff in I believe, South America.

[dilbert firestorm]

notice that the left and their environmental allies ignore evidence found on planets, Mars, and Saturn (not sure about Jupiter) with respect to weather patterns related to Solar warming and there are no humans there.

there is also something else at play. I'm not sure how this affects Earth's weather patterns. apparently there are countries involved in weather modification to induce more rain or snow. I suspect those weather modification programs maybe screwing up GW weather research.

You know what will be funny... If the ice caps melt and flood the world like the dems think which puts the panic out there that requires gold and guns. HAHAHAHAHA now that would be poetic.

the Nemaha mts are under the flint hills in Ks.It was a inland sea at one time.There has been warming and ice ages .

yeah, something like half of North america was underwater from west of the Mississippi to I think the Ccalifornia/Nevada region

I spent some time working underground a few years ago in Sugar Creek (that's for Ekim). At 700 feet deep we hit very cold SALT water trapped in the rocks.

Yes, I have not always taught.

[i'va biggen]

there is salt water everywhere when they fracked the oil wells on our place the fresh water wells went salt..
