Damn You Global Warming!

It snowed in Kenya.

Was Al Gore heading to Kenya?

Global warming detractors need to understand that unusual cold weather in one area is not proof against global warming.

When seas are getting warmer and warmer and ice caps are melting at increased rates, that is actual proof for global warming. Why? Because the seas cover 2/3 of our planet, and if they're getting warmer, chances are the other 1/3 of the planet will be affected, too. The ice caps, the coldest regions of our planet, are showing a trend of warming and melting. Why is this more poignant than Kenya? Because the ice cap region does not see the same weather fluctuations as regions to the south because of the tilt of the earth. When that changes, something big is going on.

Educate yourself on global warming, because if you think it's simple weather, then you've not studied on it enough.

Duff, remember the rules: anecdotal evidence can be used to support global warming, never to contradict it.

Note for the humor-impaired: I believe in global warming. I'm just bothered by the militant attitude used against dissenters by the party of open-mindedness.

Well, your chance to respond to a moderate, evidence-based view is above Paul.

Have at it.

Joe: I know. This is completely tongue in cheek. It's a snarky rejoinder to the people who tell me that "It's hot today. Must be global warming" or some such. See also moronic news stories about sea levels rising in the South Pacific but Manhattan seems to be fine.

Joe, so my statement that global warming is real isn't evidence based?

Whoops, sorry Paul. Misread the comment. I have to stop posting before the second cup of coffee.

However, while I don't like it either, a militant attitude is understandable considering the gravity of the situation.

Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project

Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project . Thank God they're going after this guy. He's been so brazen with his porkbarreling and the whiff of corruption around him has been ripe enough to smell from here. I'd rather have a 100% democrat run Congress if they were ethical. Term limits. One term for Senate, two for the House, one for the President. Some fear that would increase the power of lobbyists. Simple, ban any former members from being lobbyists and limit lobbyists to terms as well. (I'm not sure how that would work. Just a thought.) The other answer is transparency. No earmarks without a floor vote. No spending of any kind without a floor vote. All spending committees (intelligence aside) open to the public and recorded and available on the web.

First, fourth, what's the difference?

Black Pope could follow Barack Obama's election, says US archbishop : "The election of Barack Obama as the first African-American US President could pave the way for the election of the first black Pope, according to a leading black American Catholic." Except that we've had three black Popes already. The last one was 1700 years ago. You'd think he know that. I knew we had them in the past. It took me all of .000048 seconds on Google to find that out.
