...for their insightful foreskin report. Global warming my ass!
There are homos everywhere these days. It's disgusting. It's sick. Homos make me sick. They just made me throw up all over my keyboard and monitor. Don't get me wrong or nuttin', I'm no biggot. I'm a nice guy. I donate money to charity. Only to poor asia though, never to africa, because in africa, the kids are all skinny and smelly and they have skin the color of shit. It's disgusting. It's sick. Little skinny black kids make me sick. They just made me throw up all over my keyboard and monitor.
Who would imagine there would be flooding during global warming?
Go figure.
Water World here we come.
According to an audit performed on the premier data on global warming (MBH98), the 20th century is actually cooler than it was in the 1400s. Remember, these predictions are based on the theory that the earth is warming at an alarming rate and that the Earth is hotter than it ever was. However, this is simply not true based on the data available.

I am defenseless. Use your button. Mod me down with all of your hatred.
Keep driving SUVs, gas prices are at an all time high. We'll have more oil coming home from the Gulf.
Burn more coal and oil. Forget more friendly alternatives, BushCo doesn't make money when you don't burn fossil fuels.
Try doing that in some countries, they'll scream about government invasion of their "right" to be babymachines. In Canada the Indians breed like flies because the welfare system gives them more money as they spew out more of their fetid lot.
How dare you question eugenics, TROLL!
Curb CO2 emissions: Kill yourself today!
Wonderful logic. Assuming this is a contributing factor, it doesn't make it the only factor.
Truly, you have a dizzying intellect!
What's arrogant is assuming you know more than the people who spend their lives studying these things. Honestly, do you really believe that the combined pollution generated by 6 billion human beings and their creations will have no impact on the planet? Why don't we just go back to dumping all of our waste into rivers, eh?
The mind boggles. Yes, even those tree-hugging, far-looking, ever-wise Russians oppose the Kyoto treaty. What were we thinking??!!
And then your sig links to an anti-Kerry site. Pretty sad when you pubs are trying to run against (a ridiculously distorted version of) John Kerry's record. Couldn't you just run on your candidate's record instead? Oh, wait, I guess you really can't...
I am not denying the Global Warming or anything... I just wish the story was picked up by some reliable news organizations. Anyone has a link to something other than BBC?
Any guest worker system is indistinguishable from indentured servitude.
"There are currently around 200bn worth of assets and 1.7 million properties in flood risk areas in England and Wales,"
What's the big deal? American taxpayers have spent at least that much in Iraq, and we're *just getting started* destroying stuff over there, let alone rebuilding it. OTOH, maybe we should have spent the money buying up the British coastline, as a defense against those French WMDs, just 45 minutes from deployment across the Channel.

As a researcher in Hybred Vehicles I know about the issue of energy density. I expect it to be resolved quite pleasantly with a fuel cell/fuel reformer combination and use Gasoline as the fuel or methanol or similar.
This solves so many problems. Energy efficiency is up about 3:1 safety is even higher than now. Fuels use standard tech to transport etc.The issue of supply of the energy to make the gasoline or methanol has a lot of solutions. The idea of transporting Hydrogen as a gas to power a vehicle is out on many grounds including the fact that it leaks awfully bad. The reformer and cell combination is a proved bit of tech.Now as to this Global Warming CRAP! This is another computer enhanced delusion. The reason the ocean level is at present levels has little or nothing to to do with the phase of the water on the planet. It has to do with GRAVITY and frankly the position of the continents relative to the water is subject to change and has done so freqently over time. Whole continents have slid beneath the sea and risen above it. The reasons have nothing to do with global temperatures. It has to do with a principal called Archamedes Principal which frankly will fix all their dire forcasts. It has never been found to have exceptions and it works every time.
The reason Continents are "Floating" and they are is the issue that should be researched. It is not well known as of yet. Rest assured that they are "Floating" and will so long as the causes remain they will continue to float regardless of how "Full" the ocean gets. The adjustment is continual.
Never Politically Correct ~ I prefer the facts If you don't like what I say, get a life, or comment yourself.
Thanks for the level-headed post. You just made another friend.
