I live about 5 miles from the beach in Daytona on about 8 acres.
Could someone tell me how many glaciers would have to melt to raise the sea level enough to give me 8 acres of ocean front property? It would be worth a freekin' fortune.

Before that happens, the big 'quake will come and my farmland in Yuma, AZ will be beachfront property.

"In my view, climate change is the most severe problem we are facing today," he wrote in Science magazine, "more serious even than the threat of terrorism."
What a Frikin Moron. Noone else find this statement a bit bizzare?  




Like I will really care when I am in my wheel chair looking at all the clouds and need a thicker blanket on my lap.

No...I find it quite sensible.

You are obviously thinking just about yourself, the scientist in question is thinking about the human race.

Let me weigh this......Terrorism is not as important to the human race as the global warming. Nope..I disagree and therefore..My worries on this topic are whether my grandchildren will make sure im warmer in my later years.

That is to say that IF some terrorist or Terrorist Org. doesnt get a hold of a Nuke and blast a place or 2. Yeah Yeah Yeah...I know..Sky is falling comments...But in the last few years it has become pretty evident in my eyes that People are trying to kill others at a rate faster than the "Ice Age Returneth".

Say what you want..think what ya like...But Global Warming is the LEAST of my worries in this big ole quagmire we call the EARTH.

We shall see, Jackal.

A city is destroyed by a nuke, an entire country is destroyed by no food. You do know that Mesopotamia use to be fertile land? Its a desert now.

And there are countless ancient cities which have died because they have lost their water.

All we have done is added to the problem.

Dang, I wish. $2.15 reg unleaded in So Cali.

You know there used to be forests on the poles as well. And btw, one volcano spews way more trash into the sky than all the cars in america do in years. And we are all still here.

I know is that the hollywood crowd is all for the global warming scare. That's all I need to know to know it's a buncha crap.

True but not because of global warming.

Mesopotamia was always a very arid land with highly seasonal rainfall. It became productive farmland centuries ago when the local civilization became wealthy enough through trading activities (see below) to extensively irrigate the land from the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, both of which are mineralized and salty rivers. Over time the irrigation of the fields destroyed the soil for farming by raising the salt and mineral content of the soils to the point where they were no longer able to produce crops.

The chief source of prosperity for Mesopotamia was as a trading and merchant nation, being bordered by the two main rivers of the region, which were the avenues of choice to move goods at the time, but neither of which are quite as  important anymore in the modern world of trade.
