LOL Good article.

Many newbies to the discussions of climate change forget that it’s more than global warming, and forget that the IPCC (CC=”Climate Change”) has been around for decades, and that “climate change” isn’t a new buzzword.

Hmmm, wouldn't that involve British cooking? You'd think they wanted you to save water to eat your neighbor given the Brit's propensity to boil meat.

a thin or missing ring meant it was a bad growing season and the tree effectively shut down.

So how does one notice a missing ring?

If the Anasazi have a lesson for us, it's if we want to avoid eating our neighbours we'd best be frugal with the water that's available. We'd better start getting greenhouse gas levels down and fast.

You know at that point, I don't know if I want to be the eater or the eatee.

This is just foolishness. What made the Anasazi run out of water? Global warming (ie Climate Change) or high CO2 levels. Seems that this just proves the opposite, the weather changed even before the UN and Al Gore started managing it.

I think I’d starve before I ate my neighbors.

Can we just come out and say Ted turner is insane? The tofu has finally sprouted in his brain and the guy is loopy-loo.

We have iron and PVC pipe. We have wealth, science and engineering. The stupid, uneducated, superstitious grasshopper eating injuns had squat.

I’d still like to know why the Anasazi built their settlements largely in caves. The crops were overhead, and the water was way down below.

I guess that made them fairly hard to attack, but what a hassle. And there really isn’t any evidence of hostile neighbors.

There is soon to be a revolution in water purification because of nanotechnology. Filters with nanotubes only large enough to pass single molecules of water. They use 1/4th of the energy of typical water purification.

Typically, I can imagine a very large pipeline at the bottom of the ocean. Water, crude filtered to eliminate “biologicals”, is pushed by water pressure alone through nano-filters, so that an inner pipeline is filled with fresh water, surrounded by slightly more concentrated brine which returns to the ocean, to maintain its salinity for sea life.

The fresh water in the inner pipeline is pumped to shore, where it is monitored for salinity and purity, then pumped directly into the water mains.

Worryingly, climate models are already suggesting this rapidly growing region has started a long-term shift to more arid conditions...

If he had stopped right there he'd have maintained a little credibility for scientific honesty.

...as a result of increasing amounts of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

By tacking on this empirically-unsupported ideologically-derived assertion which does not follow from any of the data cited in the article he blows whatever credibility he had.

If he had included even a mild qualifier such as "...which some researchers speculate could be a result of increasing amounts of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere" he'd have maintained at least a modicum of scientific integrity.

The arrogance of these pseudo-scientific hacks, however, won't allow them to acknowledge any degree of the uncertainty in their "theories" required by a basic application of logic and the scientific method. The reason for this, however, is simply that these types and their "pronouncements" aren't really about science, they're about ideology and dogma.
