| Outraged, absolutely outraged, folks are so mad at this descent into communism that they're threatening to move to Canada . Why ever bother paying to go to a stand-up club when the slo-mo trainwreck of daily life provides you with all the free comedy you'll ever need? :lol: Moving to Canada? 8O OMG... |

| I'm just not seeing a downside to a generally warmer planetary climate. That said, I'm far more concerned about the prospect of cooling than I am about warming. If things cool down that means lower crop yields and that means famine. It also means a decline in the hydrological cycle and that means i... |

Industrial activity has contributed to water pollution which contributes to acidity and dead zones and increased CO2 in the oceans which is then released into the atmosphere. I don't think it's solely industrial activit... |

| I am not sure what you are getting at, Nuggets. There are no conflicting reports. There is virtually unanimous agreement among scientists that the Earth is warming and that C)2 driven forcings are the cause. CO2 produced by man. Undersea volcanoes etc. have little to do with this. The Earth has bee... |

| From the article posted in the OP - .... in its paper, the Met Office claimed that the consequences now would be negligible – because the impact of the sun on climate is far less than man-made carbon dioxide. Although the sun’s output is likely to decrease until 2100, ‘This would only cause a reduct... |

Kind of dismaying when you think about it that news services and science websites would fall for that without double checking the authenticity of it themselves. If you go to those coordinates on google earth and google maps there's noth... |

| It's on Google Earth. What possible reason would there be to do this? Just to screw with people? if there was a hole in Google Earth that let people cram in their own imagery I don't know why this would be what they did.

| Please do explain. Anything that depicts sexual abuse of a child is not funny. If you think it's funny then that makes you guilty of child abuse even if it's only in your own mind.
