i can't get your 60 minutes video to play, for some reason. my guess is that they are referring to the antarctic penensula, which i understand has been warming of late, along with the ocean around it. the majority of the antarctic continent, however, has been cooling considerably and adding significant amounts of ice and snow. of course global warmists spin it to keep the blame on global warming -- atmosphere getting warmer, can hold more moisture, which gets dropped over the coldest place on earth. but if that is the case, why isn't the arctic ice cap growing, too? just goes to show that you can explain any climate phenomenon as a product of global warming. if the warming trend turns around tomorrow and the earth starts to cool, it will no doubt be our fault, and have dire consequences. we all just need to live in grass huts and eat soybeans that we grow in our own back yard.:rolleyes4:Quote:

Elaine
no no, no no, don't don't, I beg you
I really don't know if the ENTIRE earth is getting warmer or not. But the data being used as absolute truth by are very spotty and not sufficiently accurate to make the conclusions being made by the CGW. In fact, the VAST MAJORITY of the "temperature" data are not measurements at all. They are numbers produced by models within models within models, none of which have accuracy within the range of the results they report.Quote:

Some times it's hard to believe what your write. Suggest you take a trip up to Alaska some time and talk with the locals up there.Quote:

This moronic drivel was being spewed as the Dow soared above 13,000 for the first time and only 11 months after it went over 12,000 for the first time. And unemployment riding near historic lows, corporate profits healthy, GDP expanding steadily, inflation in check, over 10 million new jobs created,etc etc. So much for good data from this particular "local"..............Quote:

Anyway, the effects of global warming are clearly visible in Alaska. Remember, AGW means that the lowest temperatures are the most affected.
kinda like antarctica?Quote:

Router draws up to 1A (I can't believe this) for 120W
800W.
I'm turning it off tonight.
i doubt my pc pulls anywhere near 4 amps on a continuous basis, but if it did, it would cost me nearly $70 a month at houston utility rates!Quote:

Oh, and the economy grew at its slowest pace in over 4 years last qtr.

As for your Global Warming dribble, well, your nonsense speaks for yourself.
The Dow was at about 7500 in October 2002, so that puts us at about a 75% increase over the past 4.5 years. :icon_razz:Quote:
