Capitalizing on Melting Polar Ice
efuzzyone writes "As an affect of global warming, the polar ice caps seem to be slowly receding, what do you do? The NYT reports it is a gold rush, 'the Arctic is undergoing nothing less than a great rush for virgin territory and natural resources worth hundreds of billions of dollars.' Also, 'polar thaw is also starting to unlock other treasures: lucrative shipping routes, perhaps even the storied Northwest Passage; new cruise ship destinations; and important commercial fisheries.'"
Sorry I can't bring myself to vote redneck. I wouldn't be able to live with myself in the morning.
Tesla was a genius. Edison however was a overrated hack who liked to torture puppies.
And copy the replies to the most recent global warming story into this one.
I certainly wouldn't notice the difference, and so much productivity would be saved by everyone not having to rehash the same old arguments again.
Apparently 'Editor' is largely an honorary title around here.
the billions in damage it will do to other industries. fucking retards.
If you mod me down, I will become more powerful than you can imagine....
I was always told that if the ice caps melt, the oceans would raise 30 feet. Since 1/3 of it has already melted, according to the news reports, shouldn't we be able to measure a 10 foot raise in the water level? What happened to the coasts being submerged? I want to see all those blue states under water now! Why else do you think I've been driving a SUV?
Who would win this election: Andrew Weiner vs Andrew Weiner's weiner.
Right, because George Bush and his oil company sponsors must be just so desperate to stop us all using gas/oil and get us all onto Fuel Cell Technology. Are you actually trying to say that scrapping the Kyoto Protocol would help encourage the use of Fuel Cell technology?
Please, go and grow a brain!
I once again invite all "environmentalists" to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by killing themselves now.

Oh yes. No doubt it's only the American leftists who mod me down around here when I post a factual post in defense of the Bush Administration, or expressing my well-founded skepticism about some facet of the global warming debate or the benefits to be had from diversity. I'm sure no enlightened European leftist would ever do such a crass and intolerant thing.

Too much Law; not enough Order.
Phooey. If he had really supported it, he would have put up a fight to get it ratified by the Senate. Signing it was just political -- he knew it would *never* actually take effect.
In other words: we're still guessing, and we'll get back to you if and when we actually find out anything...
Any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creed into law if it acquires the political power to do so.
Well, since you've already demostrated you're a pathetic fucking liar who claims to be an expert and former researcher in whatever topic is being discussed, you have zero credibility.
Why are you so stupid that you think you can lie over and over without getting caught?
WHY ARE YOU SUCH A DISGUSTING PERSON? WHY DO YOU INSIST ON LYING TO TRY AND CONVINCE PEOPLE?
Oh, right it's because you know your position is stupid, and you're stupid, so the only way to convince people is to lie about the merits of your argument.
