From: Lindal Kidd I think a couple of significant items relating to climate change get conveniently overlooked by the global warming doomsayers:
1. The average temperature of Mars has gone up 0.5 deg. C in the last decade. Note that this is the same amount and period that GW alarmists cite for our planet. So...is the warming due to human activity? Or fluctuations in the sun's output?
2. There is an 11 year sunspot cycle. We are just coming out of the low period...and the expected sunspots have yet to appear. It's too early to tell, but the last time this happened coincided with the period called "The Little Ice Age"...a time of cooling and some really nasty winters.
3. Global warming predictions depend on computer models. If there is one thing we know about computer models, it's that they almost always fail to consider one or more critical factors. The map is not the territory.
4. Proposals to limit greenhouse gas emissions will have an enormous negative effect on economies around the world. There is a direct correlation between human average lifespan and per capita income. That is, in countries that have a high per capita income, people live longer. Cut that income, and you have less money to invest in medical research and medical care...and your population dies younger.
As I see it, the global warming people want to kill off me and my family at an early age, as we sit freezing in the dark, while telling me it's "for my own good". Their rationale for this is based on questionable computer simulations and a tendency to shove data that don't fit their political agenda into a filing cabinet and forget it. I do not have very many friends among the global warming people. Let's start a vote for smartest and sexiest Forum member. I officially vote for Lindal Kidd

From: ConductorX Nieuport Just for you Brann.. just call me the Evinrude in the Cesspool of Life:
NICKNAMES
If Laura, Kate and Sarah go out for lunch, they will call each other Laura, Kate and Sarah. If Mike, Dave and John go out, they will affectionately refer to each other as Fat Boy, Godzilla and Four-eyes.
EATING OUT
When the bill arrives, Mike, Dave and John will each throw in $20, even though it's only for $32.50. None of them will have anything smaller
and none will actually admit they want change back. When the girls get their bill, out come the pocket calculators.
MONEY
A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need but it's on sale.
BATHROOMS
A man has six items in his bathroom: toothbrush and toothpaste, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel. The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 337. A man would not be able to identify more than 20 of these items.
ARGUMENTS
A woman has the last word in any argument.Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.
FUTURE
A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.
SUCCESS
A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man.
MARRIAGE
A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't. A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, but she does.
DRESSING UP
A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the bins, answer the phone, read a book, and get the mail. A man will dress up for weddings and funerals.
NATURAL
Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed.Women somehow deteriorate during the night.
OFFSPRING
Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist appointments and romances, best friends, favorite foods, secret fears and hopes and dreams. A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
A married man should forget his mistakes.There's no use in two people remembering the same thing. LOL, i peench you **************************************** i second that vote for Lindal, and i too don't have many friends among the save teh world sect either. case in point, i was approached yesterday by a young man with a petition to stop people from wearing fur, i casually pointed out that the 100% cotton t-shirt he was wearing was once a living thing too, (i asked)...he walked away.

From: ConductorX Nieuport ...NATURAL
Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed.Women somehow deteriorate during the night... I think I pretty much go along with everything except this one, CX. My Resident Geek tells me I look beautiful in the morning...and from the look in his eyes, I have to believe it, unlikely as it sounds. On the other hand, what with the morning breath, the dried drool on his chin, the 5 am crop of stubble, and a slight whiff of B.O., the Geek has definitely done some de-evolving in the night. Not that I would dream of telling him so.

I do not have very many friends among the global warming people. Don't feel bad, neither do I. The President of the Czech Republic had some interesting things to say on Global Warming recently: http://www.monstersandcritics.com/news/europe/news/article_1407867.php/Czech_President_Klaus_ready_to_debate_Gore_on_climate_changeWhile some was no doubt political posturing, I agree with a lot of what he says. It is of course beneficial to clean up our act, the plans currently espoused, such as Kyoto, are _in_my_ opinion, Socialistic One World Government inspired schemes aimed at forced economic redistribution that will adversely effect the economies of Western Economies, to the benefit of mostly China and India. The Planet is changing, but I don't believe We are affecting it to the extent the Climate Nazis want us to believe. That's all I will say on he subject, this topic invariably gets messy around here. /me gasses up her SUV, cranks the AC and speeds away

From: Elora Lunasea Apparently, according to all of that, my husband and I are the wrong genders Mine and I too. Although I remember when these stereo types were pretty accurate and I got a laugh from the list. From: Maureen Boccaccio Well, the bird clearly was at fault. I am just happy that you recovered, and now you are speeding down the raceways in your VW racecar! Here here. Re golobal warming. I tend to not to believe the 3 actual scientists in the world who profess not to believe it. (One of whom previously worked for the tobacco industry to cast doubt on the science suggesting their product was unhealthy.) I recently saw the whole thing explained by Naomi Oreskes : "Some corporations whose revenues might be adversely affected by controls on carbon dioxide emissions have also alleged major uncertainties in the science (2). Such statements suggest that there might be substantive disagreement in the scientific community about the reality of anthropogenic climate change. This is not the case. The scientific consensus is clearly expressed in the reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Created in 1988 by the World Meteorological Organization and the United Nations Environmental Programme, IPCC's purpose is to evaluate the state of climate science as a basis for informed policy action, primarily on the basis of peer-reviewed and published scientific literature (3). In its most recent assessment, IPCC states unequivocally that the consensus of scientific opinion is that Earth's climate is being affected by human activities: "Human activities ... are modifying the concentration of atmospheric constituents ... that absorb or scatter radiant energy. ... [M]ost of the observed warming over the last 50 years is likely to have been due to the increase in greenhouse gas concentrations" [p. 21 in (4)]. IPCC is not alone in its conclusions. In recent years, all major scientific bodies in the United States whose members' expertise bears directly on the matter have issued similar statements. " http://www.ametsoc.org/atmospolicy/documents/Chapter4.pdf

From: Lindal Kidd I think a couple of significant items relating to climate change get conveniently overlooked by the global warming doomsayers: While I appreciate that people need to find an excuse to zoom off in their gas-guzzlers, we need to realize that Global Warming isn't the only monster under the bed. Global warming discussions aside, we can't ignore that we have to stop fouling the air, polluting drinking water, reproducing like rabbits and wasting oil that just won't be around in very short order. We don't need global warming to do us in - we are managing that in several other ways. I don't care if I live an extra 10 years if those years are spend hobbling on a walker and draining the health care system. I'd feel better knowing I didn't leave a pile of granny diapers that'll take longer to decompose than I will. Okay,l I'll stop now .
