This fella didn't seem to like Al's new movie.




Poor Woodsy.

Keep America beautiful.

Keep America beautiful.

You know that guy wasn't even a real fucking Indian? Typical.

Yeah, but he fucked an Indian once, and they called it close enough.

To bad they were saying the same thing 10 years ago, then it faded. Before that global warming was the hysteria of the 80s. Same thing some scientist were predicting the ice caps wrere going to melt before the turn of the century. Well they haven't melted yet, so they are mostly full of shit.

Nutz, the red line traces the summer artic ice cap in 1979, super-imposed over a more current photograph. 20% reduction in surface area of artic cap, don't know about volume.

This is all too much for anyone to wrap their brain around. You mention the 80's: GW was hugely controversial among climatologists. Now, much more consensus. With every passing decade, better understanding.

I think it may take 10 or 20 more years before any significant changes are even attempted. By then, the science and dangers will be in clearer focus. I guess that is OK.

You gotta believe that Mrs. Claus can't wait to break out her flip flops and that bottle of Coppertone.

But in all seriousness folks, this global warming is seriously fucking up my hunting, it is simply to god damn warm in November. I ask you wher is the damn snow????

600" at Alta this year.

nutz, you rxxxxd. you just xxxx my post instead of rxxxxxx to it.

See they didn't melt, sure they did some melting but just a bit, if they keep melting at that rate we will be all right. You would only have to worry if the temp went up dramatically and they melted out in like 2 or 3 years, then we would have some real problems. Who cares, it's just ice anyways.

HH, who's to say the "North Pole" wasn't fucking too big when they took the first picture? Maybe the bitch lost the extra weight, and now you fuckers are telling her she's too fucking skinny?

Ok, I fucked up, but edit your last post otherwise Mad is going to kick my ass. Please, I will side with you on your next 3 issues, I promise.

I don't mind a *little* global warming. So some animal species migrate a little bit north - not too big of a deal.

And Wisconsin is nicer with a bit more warmth.

I just don't want those cappers to melt down. And it is a process that builds on itself.

Alr4ight, so Ididn;t actually go anywhere. Fucjkiong shoot me ok? HH, here's sopmethig from our old friend UNF:

What do professional meteorologists think about claims that the Earth is undergoing a greenhouse effect because of man's activities? Scientific opinion is growing that there is nothing to the idea that the Earth is either warming or in danger of warming under the proposed influence of the greenhouse effect. More in the scientific community are also becoming increasingly outspoken in their opposition to the false science used to support the idea that man's activities are causing the Earth to become warmer.

The Gallup poll recently interviewed a cross-section of members of the American Geophysical Union and the American Meteorological Society. Do these scientists, who should know better than anyone else, think that the greenhouse effect is something to fear? According to the poll, less than half- 41 percent - think that there is scientific evidence for global warming. However, 70 percent thought that the scientific work supporting greenhouse conclusions is "fair to poor."

So it is not true that all scientists accept the idea that greenhouse warming is going on. Less than half of the professional meteorologists believe it's happening. And most suspect the quality of the scientific work supporting ideas about greenhouse warming.

Retort?

[SkinBasket]

LOL. My retort would be that the article is from 1992! Ha! Beat you to it you old slut!

[Scott Campbell]

Remember when everyone thought you had to put out every little forest fire that started?

I wonder if all this concern about global warming will cause us to do something stupid that triggers the next ice age.
