Warming and Slowing the World

Posted by Hemos on from the slowing-things-down dept.

chrisleonard writes "We all know that global warming is supposed to heat the planet up, but did you know that it might also slow it down? According to a report from Belgium's Royal Observatory (as reported here by astronomy.com), if the days seem a little longer to you than they used to, it might not be just old age catching up with you. Would it be wrong to call the interaction of the world's warming temperatures and its slowing rotation ... a snowball effect?"

    You need to get a fscking clue and read my post below. Global warming is media and policitcal hype. It's something to sell you on the evening news and sell you during political campaigns. That facts refute it. The media won't tell you that though. The weather has been acting odd this year. Here in the very southeast corner of Kansas tomorrow on the 18th of February the expected temp will be 65 degrees. That's odd. That doesn't prove that global warming is real.

    IS INDEXED BY STATE. Isn't this a big enough hint ? So the UN, EU, Japan and every other nation on planet earth says that Global Warming Exists.

    But the worlds largest polluter says that it doesn't.

    Hint: Slobodan Milosevic says he is innocent too.....

    microsecond: The period of time that elapses between the event of a leftist performing the "global warming" routine and another leftist performing the "blame Bush" (or some other non-leftist) routine.
