I’m not currently underwater and looking out the window, there doesn’t seem to be a massive wall of water headed this way, but if that changes, I’ll do my best to let you know.

On June 12, 2008, correspondent Bob Woodruff revealed that the program “puts participants in the future and asks them to report back about what it is like to live in this future world. The first stop is the year 2015.”

As one expert warns that in 2015 the sea level will rise quickly, a visual shows New York City being engulfed by water. The video montage includes another unidentified person predicting that “flames cover hundreds of miles.”

So we’re both being flooded and on fire? That Global Warming sure is powerful stuff. Not only are we underwater, but we’re also on fire.

Then-GMA co-anchor Chris Cuomo appeared frightened by this future world. He wondered, “I think we’re familiar with some of these issues, but, boy, 2015? That’s seven years from now. Could it really be that bad?”

It would have been if McCain had won and Obama wouldn’t have had the opportunity to make the oceans stop rising.

CUOMO: I think we’re familiar with some of these issues, but, boy, 2015? That’s seven years from now. Could it really be that bad?

WOODRUFF: It’s very soon, you know. But all you have to do is look at the world today right today. You know, you’ve got gas prices going up. You got food prices going up. You’ve got extreme weather. The scientists have studied this for decades. They say if you connect the dots, you can actually see that we’re approaching maybe even a perfect storm. Or you have got shrinking resources, population growth. Climate change. So, the idea now is to look at it, wake up about it and then try to do something to fix it.

You know how liberals used to mock fundamentalists for expecting the end of the world? They’re the fundamentalists.

That website is for people who want to be told what to think, not for people who think.

I wonder if the term will change the spectral properties of a carbon dioxide molecule though?

You mean they post things you disagree with.

Not really. It's kind of the equivalent of Macdonalds--pretty packaging, everything you like but nutrition free.

Well, we do know one thing about the "spectral properties of a carbon dioxide molecule". They didn't flood New York.

Hey, do you remember about 6 years ago when James Hansen from NASA/GISS was getting teased about one of his failed predictions concerning the flooding of New York?

That one originated at Salon. You guys like Salon, don't you? I enjoyed that bit about, "Oh did I say 20 years? I meant 40." But wait forty doesn't work either.

My point mainly being that people making outlandish projections about global warming doesn't change the fact that carbon dioxide is accumulating quickly in the atmosphere adn it is likely to have a significant effect.
