Thank God there is still some sanity in the world, there is just damn little sanity in the White House. When science has no place of significance in the oval office this is the shit you get. Blunted stem cell research, the Hubble is left to burn, and concern over the poor Saudi ben Bushes and their ability to eternally blacken the skies.

and then there's michael crichton

Bendito, your irrelevance continues. At least you are consistent.

Hi, Nature magazine 9/23/04 put online 2 pages titled "glaciers are flowing faster" about ice fields in Western Antarctica, which you can find cached if you google the title if this url doesn't work. Talks of 5 meter sea level rise in unspecified period and 1.3 inside of 5 years, but mostly they're just telling us that things are happening faster than expected.



Oh, not mentioned in NY Times last spring(I confirmed with Assistant Public Editor) was 3/27-28/04 hurricane in South Atlantic, first on record. Usually upper level winds knock baby storms down. Google: hurricane brazil

"Global warming" sounds like a nice thing; who doesn't like a nice warm day?

The GOP knows how to use words, like "Weapons of Mass Destruction". If you want to make people think about the potential danger of something, give it a scary-sounding name like WMD.

I suggest we chuck the warm-and-fuzzy "global warming" term and start using a ballsy term like Catastrophic Climate Change - C3.

Steve, the environment and the related issues along with C3 should have been more relavant in this last election but it wasn't.

The Repugs will always have some way of deflecting the issue to more "important and pressing" things, like WOT.

The speculative assumption that a tentative state of warming will result in catastrophe does not warrant yoking free societies to the capriciousness of hysterical incompetents.

Tentave state of warming? There is a state of warming. Although I have no doubt you found science during your few years of high school "hard" and so you ignored it, there is a confluence of information suggesting that there is a problem. You can explore this with a simple experiment. If your HUD section 8 has a garage, pull your car in, and while its running, close the door. Report back on how healthy this environment is for you.

Control freaks and prophets of doom know as much about next week as the local weatherman.

With excellent predicition models and massive computer power, my weatherman is really accurate these days. You should see the science my University just busted a nut on to predict weather. Incredible!

But I agree, we can ignore science and educated people because, lets face it, they are all just smart asses anyway. They think they know everything.

You can prove them all wrong by buying the biggest Suck-V ever made. Fuck-it, get yourself an old school bus and weld a pick-up bed to the back. Then rig a direct oil injection into the muffler so it looks like your fogging for mosguitos as you impress people with you metal penis when you drive it down the road. I know some good mercury dumps you can raise your kids on too, and prove to us were all wrong on that one.
