Rove is trying to immunize the party, by changing its stance on

Voters understand No, and on an issue like this they'll come
to see it as obstructionist. But they don't really follow
the blah blah blah. They'll get the impression that both
parties are addressing the issue; then it's six of one
half dozen the other.

a strategy that has set back action on climate

people who insist that passive smoking is harmless...

Been out for your 20 mile bike ride today bwana?
mrbaw...@yahoo.com
I never said I rode 20 miles everyday, retard.
Your oddly functioning brain came up with that one.
But I did get in a lung expanding and heart pumping ten miles.
That was after 40 minutes of Dao-in and before two hours of Krav Maga.
How about you, wanker/tosser?
4 hours of alcohol abuse as a warm up to your cornholing?

"While most of the Earth warmed rapidly during recent decades, surface
temperatures decreased significantly over most of Antarctica"
Schmidt is a AGW guru on Real Climate.
Lloyd Parker
And more of the quote:
"It has been suggested that both Antarctic ozone depletion and increasing
greenhouses gases have contributed to these trends."
Lloyd Parker
Yes, do, as it says:
"It has been suggested that both Antarctic ozone depletion and increasing
greenhouses gases have contributed to these trends."

So I guess you don't have a job then?
Spoiled offspring of rich parents no doubt. That would explain the attitude.

Your mind is weak and delusional.
I've already answered that question.
Do pay attention, retard.
> Spoiled offspring of rich parents no doubt. That would explain the attitude.
If that's how it works, you must be:
Reatrded offspring of retarded parents no doubt. That would explain the
oddly functioning brain.

Good one, Phart.
You seem to be at the top of your game.
Philip Hart
I am ALWAYS at the top of my game.
tom-b...@ntlworld.com
a model) is that increasing westerly winds are preventing heat from
higher latitudes reaching the S pole.The problem with this is that
heat is transferred around the globe by winds and sea
currents.Westerlies blow mainly from the southwest in the northern
hemisphere and the northwest in the southern hemisphere and move from
the subtropical highs to the subpolar lows from west to east.
So it appears that westerlies move heat from the tropics towards the
poles so that the conclusions in ths paper don't appear logical.
Of course had this paper been independently refereed it would not have
passed scrutiny but it was probably refereed by one of his cronies.
But can you now agree THAT THE ANTARCTIC IS COOLING?
Philip Hart
Let's see. 10 miles divided by 4 inches (OK, OK, 4.1 inches), that's
about 40,000 jerks on your dick. No wonder your heart was pumping.
> How about you, wanker/tosser?
Doubt if it takes him even up to ...99..100... change hands..1..
2..3....
Philip Hart
Unfortunately you gave the game away by rubbishing the paper. So you'll
have to come up with a different, more reliable source now, won't you?
tom-b...@ntlworld.com
ANTARCTIC IS COOLING and uses a model to come to an explanation that is
plainly wrong .That means the model is invalidated, not the fact THAT
THE ANTARCTIC IS COOLING.
Remember Schmidt is a leading AGW guru and when I put my comments to
him during an email discussion he had no answer for them.
