Ice age coming

Let's be real here. Modern temperature records don't exactly go back too far. Neither do satellites. We don't know what the cap looked like in 1300, or 1300 BC. Was there a hundred-year warming trend there? Possibly.

Again, if we want to conserve, I'm cool with it, but we do it as a world. I'd like to keep my job in America.

 

I'd like to do it as a world too, Yawn. Unfortunately, Dubya doesn't think the same way.

 

Translation: Yawn is going to stick his head in the sand and ignore science and reason because he doesn't like Al Gore.

 

It was in the 70s yesterday before a front came through. After the rain cleared, temperatures dropped into the 40s.

So, that means global warming existed yesterday, but not today. Got it.

 

I refer Jboy to Football Bat's previous response.

A lot of the snow cover in the north of America and Canada is occuring because the lakes that would ordinarily freeze are not due to higher base temperatures, and as a result more water vapor is occuring in the atmosphere. The same thing is happening thanks to the melting glaciers Flash referred to.

 

Oh, but the Chinese and Indians?

 

If we're going to "do" something about it -- and although I think it's happening, I don't think man has much to do with it -- then the Chinese and Indians have to do it, too.

 

But Lyman, it's all Bush's fault. You know the song...

 

If he had actually gone ahead and got on board with the Kyoto agreement, then progress could have been made. As soon as he said 'we're not going to sign it', he gave India, China and everyone else who didn't want to do the same an out; 'The U.S. won't sign it, so why should we?'

 

Right again, Yawn.

The reason he didn't sign it is because it didn't hold the Chinese and Indians to the same standards as it held the U.S.

 

So, we're the world's police force, but heaven forbid we take the lead in something that doesn't involve the military. Got ya.

 

While we're at it, please look up what the Senate vote on Kyoto was. It was taken during the Clinton Administration, by the way.
