Actually, I was suggesting that you are another victim.

I have a huge problem with that statement. I would explain, but hopefully it is obvious.

I think we can all agree that global cooling would be much worse.

Wilson row over green 'alarmists'

The Environment Minister Sammy Wilson has angered green campaigners by describing their view on climate change as a "hysterical psuedo-religion".

In an article in the News Letter, Mr Wilson said he believed it occurred naturally and was not man-made.
"Resources should be used to adapt to the consequences of climate change, rather than King Canute-style vainly trying to stop it," said the minister.


Mr Wilson said he refused to "blindly accept" the need to make significant changes to the economy to stop climate change.

"The tactic used by the "green gang" is to label anyone who dares disagree with their view of climate change as some kind of nutcase who denies scientific fact," he said.

The minister said he accepted climate change can occur, but does not believe the cause has been identified.
"Reasoned debate must replace the scaremongering of the green climate alarmists."

This global warming scare has got to be the most ridiculous thing since the orignal radio broadcast of The War of the Worlds.

I lived in Cameron Parish as a kid. Where did the destructive storms come from back then? There were horrendous storms. Tornados and water spouts, high gusts of winds, storms with no steering current.

Please tell me you post was in jest. Again, sarcasm is hard to read on a board. I hope that was the case.

CCCCCCCCCCCRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZZZZZZ ZZZZZZZZZYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

Say what Sooner?

Have at it, "scientists". Maybe ArkansasBob can break this down. Oh wait, I imagine he had to evacuate from the thunderstorm in the gulf

Awful lot of those seem to have happened a long time ago.

From that article:

NOAA understands and predicts changes in the Earth's environment, from the depths of the ocean to the surface of the sun, and conserves and manages our coastal and marine resources.

---

Really? They understand the changes in the Earth's environment? That statement seems a touch hubristic to me.

i'm inclined to agree with you, but it wasn't safe 108 years ago, either.

lets be honest. Its time to stop building south of 10.

Hope all was/is well. I mean it....

Lets make south of 10, from houston to panama......"mother nature status"

We know its going anyway, so lets clear out, let the animals have it back, let mother nature take over and we can draw new boundries..

i don't think i can think of an "honest" sentence that uses the phrase "mother nature" seriously.

What?!? Do you think Gustav/Ike proves that silly point? My sister lives 20-30 miles from Galveston and she lost power for 3 days. That's it. Don't get me wrong, she was upset that she lost 3 of her 5 banana trees, but lets be serious. She's lived there for something like 12 years, she loses power for 3 days and you think her area needs to be abandoned? Wow. That's just special right there.

Well, I don't think houses and towns that are destroyed by Hurricanes should be re-built with taxpayers' monies.

How's that for being a fiscal conservative?
