Not Just Warmer: It's the Hottest for 2000 Years

[Pert_UK]

"The earth is warmer now than it has been at any time in the past 2,000 years, the most comprehensive study of climatic history has revealed.

Confirming the worst fears of environmental scientists, the newly published findings are a blow to sceptics who maintain that global warming is part of the natural climatic cycle rather than a consequence of human industrial activity...

Not everyone agrees that climate change is largely driven by human activity. Some believe the warming the planet is experiencing now is part of a natural cycle. Historical anecdotes are sometimes used to support their case, but the new study debunks these claims."

Could someone please tell Bush?

[alfredo]

1. You know that wouldn't do, even if you had a big enough bribe.

er... donation.

[fizzana]

2. I think this needs more study.

n/t

[0007]

12. The study has been done

Reading and understanding the study requires an objective attitude, not a bias right wing attitude.

3. Bush And His Corporate Bias

will kill us all.

[opihimoimoi]

4. Some one please inform Rash Fuskballs of this. Rush keeps telling us

Global Warming is left wing myth.\

Only when Florida is 27 feet under water will he believe. His house being approx 25 feet above sea level. He figures by that time he be dead and like the rest of his ilk, they all don't give a shit about the future. The selfishness of the Right wing is pronounced, its evil.

7. Christian Zionists," which are professedly most of the RW, believe...

that the Zionists will inherit Jerusalem and the Christiann Zionists will experience the Rapture within the next few years, certainly in their lifetime. This is what drives them. What incentive do they have for protecting the earth? It's all going to be burned up in a fierce holocaust, anyway, except for Jerusalem. The rest of us are only so much fuel for the fire.

8. Not only is it a myth...

...but even if it was true, global warming would be a great boon to mankind.

I was told this by a wingnut just a couple of years ago. This guy was far too stupid to come up with an original idea himself, so I'm sure that some RW propagandist has been spreading this somewhere.

5. I think it's God punishing us for electing a man like GWB for president

When I see this I have to point a finger at the "Christian Coalition", K street, Anti-Gay/Lesbian groups and the GOP and say you are to blame for this. Jerry Falwell can bite my authentic Christian ass 08)

Along with the Pigman.

6. Bush knows

The RW greed is a very personal thing. They ignore anything that keeps them from getting their "more than fair share" right now. I am always amazed that they don't even give a shit for their own progeny. When are the real Christians in this country going to take a stand ?

:argh:

[Minstrel Boy]

9. "Christians" like Bush

don't give a shit about the world because they believe God gave them dominion over it, and it's only right and proper to exploit the hell out of it before Jesus comes back. And the worse it gets means the sooner he must be coming.

:scared:

[Atlant]

10. It's just God answering the prayers of...

It's just God 1) answering the prayers of all those people
who want Bush to burn in Hell whilst 2) simultaneously
demonstrating "The Law of Unintended Consequences".

Alan Rickman as the Metatron: "I told you she was ... funny!"

11. that won;t do any damn good

he thinks it's macho to go joggin in the triple digits :argh:

[DoYouEverWonder]

14. Macho?

With the secret service running behind you with ice water and towels? Only to head back for the air conditioned 'ranch' house, to knock down a few more brewskis? What is macho about that? Pampered priss is more like it.

[Chico Man]

13. Scientists have a "good idea" (using trees and drilling of ice)

"The scientists found that while there was not enough good data to work out what the climate had been like in the southern hemisphere over that period, they could get a good idea of how warm the northern hemisphere had been."

A good study? Yes. 100%, undoubtedly conclusive, as the title suggests? No.

I may believe more of the study if it did not have such a "propagandish" headline and they did not ignore the entire SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE.

15. One local perspective.

Last week was a public scoping meeting to determine if the Kansas City levee systems are good enough.

The answer seems to be that they are not.
