Yay Iowa, day 4 and we're at almost 100% reporting!

I would vote Black Sabbath and the Scorpions.

Motorhead while great don't seem like a metal band to me.

What about the Scorpions?

So you're probably not interested in a rickshaw joint venture then?

I was serious about the rickshaw rides, I'm good for it.

I find it amusing that some of the staunchest proponents for the global climate crisis spend more time worrying about what others are doing and how they are living their lives rather that being proactive in their own lives. I wasn

I'm sure your daughter will be proud of this well thought out response.

I may be wrong, but I believe he was offering that as a refutation of the Maker's post about one day of high temperature being evidence of global warming.

So, 10" of recorded snow fall in North Dakota and Minnesota on April 10, 2008 is not scientific data, it's personal opinion?

You really are better at weather than I am. I yield.

You don't really expect me to read all of that do you?

Not more words, just factual examples of what is actually occurring.

As was my example, of course I failed to jump to the conclusion that a "winter storm" in April is somehow abnormal and caused by man.

You win, you use more words than me.

it's pretty clear that biofuels do not reduce greenhouse gases; they just raise the price of food and beer, two things that are very real and important and cannot normally be obtained without this money of which you think so little.

Wait a second; Canada is not a utopia where food, clothing, healthcare and kitties are all supplied at no cost to its citizenry?

Also more proof of global warming: April 10, 2008 Parts of North Dakota and Minnesota are pounded with over 10 inches of snow resulting in business and road closures.

'Fear and Loathing (the Beatles) in Las Vegas'

I loathe the Beatles.

So you probably don't have a favorite Beatles song then?

Hence the post in the 'Favorite Beatles Song' thread.

God creates dinosaurs. God destroys dinosaurs. God creates man. Man destroys God. Man creates dinosaurs...

Of course the large swathes of North and South American forests that have been denuded, the mountain tops literally leveled, the entire ecosystems destroyed could never be attributed to the arrival and hubris of man....the fact that tomorrow, through the use of nuclear weapons, the entire planet could be rendered lifeless, by man no less, should be overlooked as well....

 

Silly us, as if anything we do could have dire results for everything else sharing the planet with us....

Should I be showing my kids how to hide under their desks in case Khrushchev pushes the button?

(unless you're being sarcastic, in which case, ).

Of course a good portion of North America was under a giant sheet of ice a few thousands of years ago, until modern humans came along, coincidence, I think not.

I think that has more to do with the fact that the term "global warming" is sort of a misnomer, as warming will not necessarily occur across the board - and, because deniers like to point out "cold" spots as proof the entire issue is a bust, a hoax.

 

Climate change, a much broader term, is more representative of what is actually occurring. I consider global warming to be one component of climate change, along with habitat loss, deforestation and the resulting soil erosion, species decline, etc.

This is correct, the science is infallible. We

I have no idea who this is.

If I understand correctly he is being labeled the current generations James Dean due to the "eerie similarities" in their passing. You know, a car wreck and an accidental sleeping pill overdose.

Kind of like how once you go bankrupt in the US you can never get credit again?

...Now, the fact that China is purchasing our debt is scary.

If we default, how are the Chinese going to collect? What security instrument is attached to these debts?
