Great site.

Thought we had global warming on Friday, it was up to 68 here, but it's now 34. Damn global cooling!!!!

I'm applying for a wolly mammouth tag right away!

If you're on the FAFFCP,(Federal Aid to Families with Feral Children Program) you don't even need a tag and Aurochs
can be taken in season!

Just down the road the official snow fall for the year is 210". Does that count for an ice age?

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.

Okay, I just finished a paleontology exhibit, and learned a lot about conditions in the local area during the last Ice Age. It was pretty nice around here, a bit cooler and wetter than today, with Sequoias growing in the mountains, but nothing like the thick sheets of ice covering what is now the northern US.

I have been carefully recording California bashing threads and offenders will NOT be allowed in So Cal when the cold hits!

I am almost finished with the book by Felix. It makes for a compelling read. Well-documented and an easy read. If Ice Ages occur every 11,500 years like clockwork, we are on schedule for another one in another 10-15 years or maybe sooner. So much for global warming and the hubris of mankind to think that we can influence significantly the climate of the earth and the natural cycle that has been going on for billions of years.

"Aren't these places covered with ice most of the time anyway?"


Actually, those Big Sh*ttys are usually covered with Liberals and welfare clients instead of snow. Hmmmnn - "covered"? Would "infested" have been better? Questions, questions.

[Dog Gone]

So, expect the great northern cities, such as New York, Boston, Detroit, Toronto, Montreal, etc., to be swept away before advancing glaciers.

Yeah, there's no way to stop ice advancing at several feet per year.

How will cheap space travel inevitably follow nanotechnology?

Not that I'm complaining. Just curious.

[Mike Darancette]

The global warming will melt the polar ice cap which will flood the North Sea with frigid fresh water and block the Gulf Stream current which will cause an ice age in Europe.

That is pretty much what happened during the Younger-Dryas period about 11,000 years ago. The frigid fresh water was from North America though.

Bin Laden cast as family man who loves volleyball, hates ice.

Hey Usama, no ice at Gitmo!

For God's sake don't shoot the manmouths, we may have to milk and ride them

Been there, done that.

IVE Said this for years

what is more threatening thing to man? warm or cold?

why is 2/3 of the earth non-inhabitable ? cold

all of canada, basically

most of russia , basically

most areas over 5000 ft even in temperate climates

can you grow anything in the cold? no

thus, global warming, despite the flooding of some islands that youve never heard about in the pacific, is NOT a threat.

increases in storms etc are just plain conjecture

Bottom line, the #1 reason we need to get on the renewable energy trip is becuase when the big boys get in a fight over oil when it runs short it will be REAL REAL UGLY.

Hmm ... so then Texas gets to build hundreds of nuclear reactors and heat the crap out of everything.

Sounds like a plan ....

Plenty of West Texas desert that could use a few mammoths crapping all over the place and then presto ... farmland.

Dilution is the solution. We either need to dilute the ocean to match the ice melt. Or salt the ice. If we salt the ice it will melt faster, but if we take care to match the saline solution of the world's oceans. we can stop the threat of another ice age forever! TO SAVE THE WORLD WE NEED TO SALT THE POLES!! (screw the caribou and penguins)

My feet are cold....I hope I don't contribute to the problem.
