Few interesting things about that world pic:

1)Less Jihad
2) Voting competency increased in US
3) Boring parts of Canada eliminated
4) Don't have to worry about saving the rain forest anymore, nature's gonna take care of the issue
5)No more conflict diamonds?
6)Chapel Hill= Beachfront property :-d

Come on global warming!

but the only way you can show that you "love" your women is to buy her diamonds at artificially inflated prices.

let's say that this global warming thing were to occur and it did so quickly enough before the scientistist changed their minds again and brought us another iceage, would tennessee become beach front property?

I would start teaching people how to sail.  For 1000 dollars an hour.

would you need a calculator to figure out the fee for a three hour tour?

“I guess I would ask which human beings, where and when, are to be accorded the privilege of deciding that this particular climate that we have right here today, right now, is the best climate for all other human beings. I think that’s a rather arrogant position for people to take,” Griffin said.

Does that guy still have a job after voicing such heresy? (head of Nasa)

I was quite interested in this post..

So I conducted a test of this theory in a controlled environment..

I got myself a glass and put 7 regular sized icecubes in it then filled the glass to the brim with regular tap water..

I went and turned the thermostat in my house up by 10 degrees and sat and waited for the torrential flood in my kitchen..

Alas... The ice melted and nothing happend...

Cool that means where my parents live would be beach front property in central Alabama and the Gulf of Mexico would only be about an hour away instead of 5. COME ON RUNWAY POLAR ICE MELT!

We need ya down here in Alabama where its drier than I can remember.

interesting perspective.  my personal solution is I'll take a 50/50 wager but I'll also hedge that bet by buying potentially waterfront property somewhere in the hills of the appalachian chain.  if global warming does melt the ice caps and any of my family should happen to survive they will have a place to migrate to.  I'll also keep the deeds to our submerged florida properties for the inevitable return of the iceage.

I don't perscribe to the theory that anything catastrophic will actually occur and having a place to retreat to high in the hills has been a time honored way to beat summer anyhow.

we have yet to see the all time record high broken here.  personally I think the politics of the doomsayers is the real danger behind the whole global warming debate and the profound impact it's having on the younger and softer members of our society terrifies me.  sadly some limpwrists like dano will eventually hold the reins of power, at that point we will really be screwed.  when decisions are made by the weak or the calculating based on debatable facts pushed by the psuedo-scientific community as fact for whatever hidden agenda can only spell trouble for those of us who love what little of our freedom remains.

know this.  government is a necessary evil but an evil none the less.  our age's constitutional crisis is occurring before our very eyes.  our way of life may not able to survive the one two punch of the "war on terror", homeland security and now additional regulations that must surely be put into place and enforced, laws created to "prevent further global warming" will limit our freedom in incalculable ways.

if you get anything from mr chicken's argument and proposition, get this.  there will be draconian measures taken in the name of "save the planet".  the proposed cure will be far worse than the ill they claim may possibly be.

the beauty of this argument is that it is a win win for the chicken littles.  they get bigger government.  when there is no catastrophic climate change they will claim to be the planatary saviors.  at that point they will be able to save us from the asteriod that must surely be on it's way to smite us.

queers, the lot of them.

I'm with patrick henry on this one.

I''d be willing ot wager that all of your family would survive an ice cap melt for the simple reason that they wouldnt melt immediately but rather gradually over years giving folks plenty of time to retreat to..wherever.

oh no!!!  it will be a flash flood.  it will be like someone fired up the holy microwave and in a minute thirty seconds there will be mega tsunamis hitting the costal regions to globally turn the place into ND isles.  just ask carl sagan next time you see him.

the cloggys are safe they will import more dykes, rosie is taking up a collection right now.  for systems redundency and as an added benefit they have their wooden shoe technology.
