I think as far as the issues for the 2012 election, climate change isn’t high on the list.
The “Bush Doctrine” was not high on the list in 2008, but it hurt Palin in a major way.
I don’t think Perry explained his position on entitlements in a skillful way either, and that is dangerous.
If Greenland melted down completely, 88% of the excess water produced could be contained by flooding the uninhabited Qatarra Depression in northwest Egypt, producing hundreds of miles of valuable lakefront property, generating electrical power as water flowed from the Medditerranean to the depression and potentially turning much of the surrounding Sahara Desert into arable land.
It took Greenland 18,000 years to accumulate as much ice as it has now. How long do you think it will take it to melt?
