As soon as all of the libs give up their cars and start pedalling, then I'll give up my truck.

Hmmmmm.

500 million sounds like a sustainable population. 8.5 billion doesn't.

Professor Lovelock,

But we have to remember that all they are doing is buying us time. The problems will go on.

"It is something quiet beyond humans at this stage in their evolution."
Despite this people should do what they can to reduce their impact on the planet.

I guess what he is saying is don’t “PO” mother earth?

The beauty of it is that they'll never give up their cars. Basically, I'm calling them on their bs.

United States Nuclear Arsenal Saves the Planet

In a new century, against a different foe, the US has saved the planet once again. By detonating 50% of their available nuclear arms at various sites throughout the Globe, the US has been successful in reversing years of rising temperatures. The daytime temperature in London yesterday dropped 25 degrees centigrade from 55 to a mere 30. Temperatures are expected to drop another 15 degrees today making this possibly the coldest high temperature for July (15) in recorded history. Sales of jumpers rose dramatically, and keepers of these relics from the past are poised to become rich literally overnight. Fear of a new ice age have already caused some to question the wisdom of the US action, the UN will vote on condemnation this afternoon.

Actually fear...has caused, but "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself, nameless unreasoning terror that paralyzes needed effort..."
EDIT: gotta R where the F 'oughta' been and JTEX didn't jump on it. Durn those Gremlins

Isn't that what they said about bird flu?

Re: Billions may die

Billions may die

I have it on good authority that ALL are going to die...eventually.

Man, I’m right in the middle on the bird flu, could go either way. I’ve heard good arguments on both sides; that it’s going to kill all the women and children overnight, and that it just ain’t going to happen ‘cause it’s virtually impossible for the virus to morph into something that derogatory to humans.

Also worth noting is that historically each sequential pandemic is less an issue than the pandemic that preceded it. Remember 100’s of millions that were all supposed to die from the swine flu in the mid 70’s? Didn't happen. Instead, AIDS happened.

Our last/latest pandemic is AIDS, currently projected to kill around 100-million people in the next 30-years. If the pandemic pattern continues, our next pandemic will kill less people, be less contagious, and be easier to control than AIDS.

Boatbouy is totally convinced global warming is man caused and we're all going to die unless we change our ways. No use trying to talk him out of it, or reason with him, Algore is his hero. :}

Not necessarily. But you guys had such a good food-fight with the last global warming thread, I just thought I'd post another; and of course, "Al Gore" does tug at the heart-strings of many here.

Obviously you never got the Algore joke.

But under your guidance and business managment he will soon understand who the joke is. oooo

It's 25* on my porch. The wind is about 30kts. There is ice on everything. Alternating between sleet and snow.:%

Where the heck is global warming when you need it???:'(

Re: Billions may die

We had 70 MPH gusts yesterday. Normally these off-shore winter winds warm us into the 80s (nothing new), the stronger the blow the higher the temp. Believe it or not it is a compression thing from coming off high altitude to sea level, kinda like a diesel engine works, but I digress . . . Yesterday's winds were the coldest flippin' Santa Ana winds I can recall. High 50s max yesterday. Brrrrr.

Perhaps the ice age is closer than we realize?
QC, since when it is a digression to talk about something upon you are so highly qualified speak? Oh, you were talking about diesel engines, not hot air. Speaking of scams....
