2006/08/27: HeraldNet: Global warming is real; so must be our response
The most credible voices warning of a potential global climate disaster
are not those of extremists. They're the voices of the world's leading
atmospheric scientists. Even a recent scientific study commissioned
by the Bush administration, which has argued for moving cautiously on
potentially expensive remedies, concluded that our lower atmosphere
is getting warmer and that humans are clearly contributing to the
problem. The debate isn't about whether we have a problem. We do.
The debate needs to move squarely to what needs to be done about it,
before it's too late.

100 mph wind into a 100.01 mph wind. That is too much by itself but CO2
certainly has no greater effect.

Is it more fun when you tell a lie with numbers in it?
You get to feel so scientific when you pull that .01 mph
out of your ass, don't you CON Wind?

You're about 4 days late, Harvey, we've already seen the spin.
It's the usual local vs. global confusion. The fossil fuel bots on
this forum are stupid enough to buy it too, hook line and sinker.

Good Fart from an old Fart! Congradulations.
This Fart is headed to Tokyo at 161 mph, 195 mph gusts, one model has it going to 220 mph. Without CO2 it
probably wouldn't have gone over 160 mph for SIX DAYS.
