Wide Impact of Climate Change Already Seen in U.S., Study Says

Appropriate source for a junior-high science paper. Let's aim a little higher.

 

Walter, for the record, this is one instance in which I'm totally with you. The idea that a buncha sports writers and ex-sports writers are going to "win" global warming by tossing back and forth some snappy "gotcha" lines ... it boggles.

 

Well, you don't build it there, for starters. If it's already built, you jack it up or move out. At some point you come to the realization it needs to be torn down, and you tear it down. If your city ends up underwater, another city will take its place in the pecking order.

 

No thing but a chicken wing you nervous nellies.

 

Who said this, and when:

"This could increase the average temperature near the earth's surface by 7 degrees Fahrenheit," he wrote. "This in turn could raise the level of the sea by 10 feet. Goodbye New York. Goodbye Washington, for that matter."

Brad Renfro?

 

What was I was reading about a record setting cyclone this past fall?

 

It's been fun watching my farming in-laws - diehard conservatives - come around on climate change. When I first met them, they thought it was a hoax. Now that it's affecting their wallets, they're much less dismissive of science.

 

I don't know who, but I saw something today that that's what Democrats were telling Nixon in 1970, projecting to 2000. Looks like they were wrong ... again... and they just keep being wrong.

 

Moynihan said CO2 levels could go up 25 percent between 1970 and 2000. They went up "only" 14 percent.

Up to now, the rise has been "only" 21 percent, to levels that existed well before humanity existed. Still not 25 percent, so no threat, and suck it, Moynihan.

 

Yep. People had only one chance, in 1970, to get it right. They didn't. Fuck off.

 

We've given him an extra 14 years.

How close are we now to waiving goodbye to New York or D.C.?
