When you own oceanfront property, a change in the location of the shoreline could be a real bummer.

True, but those are the risks you take.

I read at one point the Russians were considering opting out of Kyoto, because if it happened, Siberia would become bread-basket paradise.
In the end, they signed it because they knew they would become a make billions as a payee nation, and they didn’t think global warming would really occur anyway.

Yabutt, they eternally whine that any “bad” changes are all our fault.

COAL MINE SEVEN, Svalbard, Norway (Reuters) - Fossils of a hippopotamus-like creature on an Arctic island show the climate was once like that of Florida, giving clues to risks from modern global warming, a scientist said. Fossil footprints of a pantodont, a plant-eating creature weighing about 400 kg (880 lb), add to evidence of sequoia-type trees and crocodile-like beasts in the Arctic millions of years ago when greenhouse gas concentrations in the air were high.
"The climate here about 55 million years ago was more like that of Florida," Appy Sluijs, an expert in ancient ecology at Utrecht University in the Netherlands, said in Coal Mine Seven on the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard.
Next, they'll find humanoid fossils in the Arctic.

Where was that land mass with respect to the equator 55 million years ago? That in and of itself could explain the temperature: i.e. maybe it was at Florida’s Latitude....

They must not have been very heavy if they could walk on the ceiling!
Related to flies?

The stuff these "scientists" trot out as proof of the dangers of human-caused global warming defy logic.

Junk science! These Morons are so funny. First the earth’s magnetic poles have reversed several times. Second, the earth has shifted on it’s axis. And finally the continents have shifted and drifted over time. These are all fact not theories and each one of them could have caused what this man describes.

Thats a scary thought.
That would take some fly swatter, huh? Like a swatter mounted on the boom of a large backhoe. And that's backhoe, not nappy headed ho.

Or a trackhoe, still not to be confused with the nappy versions. ;)

THE HIPPO THAT USED TO LIVE IN THE ARCTICA researched compares hand sizes as he hunts for fossils
"Where we are now was once a temperate rainforest," he said on Tuesday, at the end of a horizontal mine shaft 5 kms (3 miles) inside a mountain and 300 metres (600 feet) below the surface. He pointed to a row of footprint impressions found in December in the roof of the mine north of Longyearbyen, the main settlement on the barren treeless Norwegian archipelago

So now Paleocene global warming in the Arctic is Bush’s fault, too? He gets everywhere (everywhen?) in Karl Rove’s time machine!
