Have you checked out the local Rehab facilities available to you? Be sure to make the Government pay for it...../s

[miliantnutcase]

I’m shocked...the climate constantly changes. /s

Gore will find a way to discredit this though I’m sure.

From what I have read, the Garden of Eden was warm, tropical, and comfortable to its inhabitants.

Scientists who probed two kilometers (1.2 miles) through a Greenland glacier to recover the oldest plant DNA on record said Thursday the planet was far warmer hundreds of thousands of years ago than is generally believed. DNA of trees, plants and insects including butterflies and spiders from beneath the southern Greenland glacier was estimated to date to 450,000 to 900,000 years ago, according to the remnants retrieved from this long-vanished boreal forest.

Yeah, and what happened to those trees, plants, butterflies, and spiders? They are all dead now, killed off by global climate change. The planet was far warmer then, and they died. We're doomed.

Just trying to show that REhab is the answer, especially in areas of global warming, eating meat, having firearms, defending freedom of association, freedom of speech, annihilation of a higher power, or the lack of understanding anything the left makes a major cause.

I did have an /s tag on there.

It's called you get old and die. ;)

Life forms adapt making biological changes necessary to survive and carry on as that same identified species but in a variation of.

Flintstones, Meet the Flintstones
They're the modern stone-age family
From the town of Bedrock
They're a page right out of history

Let's ride with the family down the street
Through the courtesy of Fred's SUV
When you're with the Flinstones
Have a yabba dabba doo time
A dabba doo time
You'll have a gay old time

Al Gore's ancestors must have been buying carbon offsets back then too...

[Nervous Tick]

So THAT’S what the evil SUVs looked like back then! Of course! It HAD to be SUVs!

[RC2]

Yeah but Al Gore didn’t own the company back then.

[Ditto]

Measurements? We don't need no stink'n measurements.

We got Algore's Magical Computer Models (TM) to tells us how thing were, and how thing are going to be.

Just send your money to Algore.inc and quite reading this stupid science crap.

Yea, and the ‘tards are still gonna have their eco-wacko concert to “help” the planet.
But the best part is that some people think musicians and actors know something about the planet.
Earth to nutjobs, these wackos are stoned goofballs who could never accomplish anything more than making some tunes and speaking/wailing some jibberish....That the other ‘tards seemed to like!

“Oldest DNA”... Was it on an old blue dress?

Close... a Prom dress in Hot Springs, Arkansas.

scientists built a record of greenhouse-gas concentrations over the aeons, which in turn provides a record of temperature.

Good article except for that since it's so loosely coupled. The kind of plants and animals that could live at a latitude and their frequency would be a much more precise indication of temperature. Now the scientists need to figure out the mechanics of change and what we can influence. I bet clouds play a major role and there are probably inexpensive ways climate engineers can create and dissipate clouds.

It’s more about much needed media exposure, coupled with tax incentive donations—business expense. All self-interest. The Arctic Monkeys even understand this hypocrisy.
