NASA Says 2005 Could Be Warmest Year Recorded

Ant writes "CNN reports that a weak El Nino and human-made greenhouse gases could make 2005 the warmest year since records started being kept in the late 1800s." From the article: "While climate events like El Nino -- when warm water spreads over much of the tropical Pacific Ocean --affect global temperatures, the increasing role of human-made pollutants plays a big part."

Global warming is BS...

I know this because George Dubya (&Co.) has
told me so. And I have it on good authority
that he gets his info directly from THE MAN.

Anyway, what is the problem with NASA? Aren't
they supposed to present a unified front of
THE party line, like the rest of the Executive
Branch? Do they really want to jeopardise their
funding (or risk another SST being used for
target practice by US Space Command)?

Come on, NASA! Toe that line! Tote that bale!
Get onboard the Bush BS bandwagon, or you'll
get "Bush-whacked"!

Think of the dirty '30s dustbowl as being the norm, not an exception.

I'd think you'd be shooting in your pants over that one - what better excuse to bring back the New Deal?

Think of Europe having much colder winters because of the lack of a thermocline to drive the gulf stream currents.

Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch.

This should keep me awake at night exactly - why?

Think of recurring global catastrophies that make the recent tidal wave look like "just another day".

And the next time one happens... try to be there!

Think of what we're handing our kids.

"For the children!"

Think - everyone said "don't worry, it won't happen in our lifetimes anyway."

I think they were wrong.

God! I sure hope so!
