  1. Re:Preparing for the coming Ice Age on Russian Scientists Say They'll Clone a Mammoth Within 5 Years · · Score: 3, Funny

    Well, since anthropomorphic global warming is causing the melting of Greenlands ice sheet, which will then cause an Ice Age in Europe, this seems apropos.

    Don't anthropomorphize global warming. It hates it when you do that.

    I love those. Hilarious how all the stock photos are like, "Hey look at all the diversity in our workforce!" Meanwhile, the directors are, of course, all old white guys.

    Yeah, you're right, private firms like Blackwater--I'm sorry, Xe Services LLC, are staffed with nothing but upstanding individuals.

    You're correct, but it's actually even worse than you make it sound because some of the registered sex offenders are people that did things like committing the "crime" of having sex with someone who is 16 while they're 18 or 19 or taking camera phone pictures of themselves naked and sending it to their boyfriend/girlfriend when they're both minors.

    1998 was indeed the warmest year...

    Actually, the warmest year was 2005. 1998 is tied for second with 2007. http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/graphs/Fig.A2.txt

  6. Re:but but but.. on Northern Sea Route Through Arctic Becomes a Reality · · Score: 1

    ..has caused me much hilarity, given that there was little man made CO2 pre- 1940's and at least half of the warming of the 20th century occurred then, and that post 1998 there has been no warming (cooling indeed, according to the satellite record) at all, despite increasing CO2.

    Wrong.

    1900 (-.19 C) to 1940 (.07 C) difference of .26 C
    1940 (.07 C ) to 2008 (.53 C) difference of .46 C
    Seems like a lot less than half, maybe you are the one who is not letting the facts bother their opinions?

    Here's some more info about William J. Rea. The "M.D." in the 1991 paper you linked: http://www.casewatch.org/board/med/rea/complaint.shtml
