I'd just be happy if they'd tell me the temperature of Lake Guntersville, so I'll know when to go bass fishin'.

Semper Fi,

Hey years ago we had water heaters with that brand name too but I haven't seen them in ages!

Well, there is a theory that inversions of the gulf stream will cause drastic weather changes. Right now Europe is relatively warm, despite its high latitudes, because the warmer water of the Gulf Stream is on top of the ocean. There's a cold current, too, that flows beneath. The theory says that turbulence between warm and cold layers, or even an outright inversion, can cause things like ice ages.

Are we witnessing the end of the Gulf Stream as we know it?"
No. We may be witnessing a temporary cessation of the flow, as we know it, but it will be back, just as it has ceased and begun again previously.

Will these flowers in Flores island survive it ?

What a shame. Such a fine airplane.

Maybe it's the trailer instead of the plane they're talking about.

Like day light, nothing lasts forever.
In the 15th Century, until the discovery of America this part of the western coast of Flores was the only point on Earth where you could see the end of the world (31º 16' 24" West) right in front of you.
Today it's just the last sunset point of the world for a while.

Lots of things never seen before taking place around September 15, 2003. 511 years after the discovery of America ...

entering again uncharted territory.

Temps - warmest summer ever measured in Europe
Ozone depletion at record size. Data about depth being withhold !
largest ice shelfs breaking
Climate change - first measurable economic consequences
2003 - The oil industry has lost half its exploration season to the warmth in Alaska

Rights, farms, environment ping.
Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from this list.
I don't get offended if you want to be removed.

so does anyone have any idea when this drought that we are experiencing in the southwest is going to break? Things here are really severe and I can find nothing on this anywhere. Denco

[Truth666]

Please add me to your list

[farmfriend]

Consider yourself added. If you ever change your mind, this can be a high volume list, just let me know.

The Gulf Stream as we know it

 

The end of the Gulf Stream

[farmfriend]

ROTFLMAO!!!!!

[Boot Hill]

When you post hyperventilating crap like the following, how do you expect any rational person to treat anything you post as being worthy of any consideration, whatsoever?

Ozone depletion at record size. Data about depth being withhold !
(BH note: Ozone depletion is a seasonal thinning that was discovered BEFORE the invention of CFC's!)

largest ice shelves breaking
(BH note: Nautical history is replete with reports of much larger fields of ice breaking off from the Antarctic ice shelves, which were then replaced by new ice shelves!)

LOL! That one's a keeper! :-D

My god don't you people understand how serious this is, if the poles switch then all us "good ol' boys" will become Yankess and those Damnyankees will start buying pickup trucks and chewing tobacco. Its the end of the world folks.
