#1 Those of us who know that 'global warming' is a total myth are probably pissing in the wind with rants like these. But the Algore environazis can't go unchallenged.

#2 I'm not so sure it's a total myth, where I live it's been recently noticably warmer than in december-january, and all the snow has melted, so who knows?.

#3 For sure there are changes happening. The question is, how serious and due to what causes?

#4 Actually, this was an attempted joke (winter-spring), my bad.

#5 ooops ... sorry. should have read more carefully - that's what I get for commenting while doing other things too. It's actually a pretty good joke. ;-)

#7 That's thanks to all the Simpsons episodes I've taped. And besides, I'm fat, fat people are funny, I'm told, but this is bogus, because when I think about it, I'm not fat, I'm big-boned.

#9 I don't dismiss the concept that human doings might affect the climate.
Just as I accept that oil is not an infinite resource.
But when somebody tells me glaciers are melting I find it hard to get overworked.
It's the natural climate changes that are really scary.
Not much you can do about Glaciers, volcanoes earthquakes, or solar minimum/maximums, not to mention axial tilts and pole shifts.

#10 I seem to remember something about Ice Ages coming and going long before the arrival of the Industrial Age and Capitalism.

#12 I accepted global warming when the US Navy announced that it needed to create an Arctic ocean surface navigational system. This also means force structure changes to accomodate a US Arctic Ocean fleet.

Check out this map with respect to military and civilian commerce needs and potentials, once a lot of that ice is gone. Canada, Russia, northern Europe and the US may be in for some very profitable times, all getting what amounts to a new coastline with respect to each other.

#13 The author is correct about Greenland and Antartic ice caps. Arctic sea ice is melting. However this is a lagging indicator and results from the warming we saw in the 1980/90s, which has now stopped.

#14 Maybe I'm stupid, but shouldn't we notice higher water lines ? Higher high tides and higher low tides and such ? Ships gettin closer to the bridges they pass under ?

#15 I propose a massive Get-Together and Feel-Good session regarding the Sun or Sol as some call it. The Consequences of Ignoring the Main Sequence A Case Study of UnHappy Times.

This will be followed by a short sponsored symposium on How to Make A Fortune in the Upcoming Era of High Gravity. Dr. Fischer will present. Dr. Fischer is a Co-Author of the ground breaking The Shipman-Fischer Rum Paradox, which explores the casauality and quality of .79 Highballs and their alcohol content vis 2.99 well specials. Highly recommended.
