Actually, if global warming did melt all the ice on land and
the oceans did rise 20 feet, it would make rebuilding New
Orleans moot and save the taxpayers a lot of money. And
just think of all the new seaports. The whole state of
Florida would become a skin-divers paradise, but it would
ruin the bass fishing in the glades.
And Brittney Spears and Anna Nicole Smith are "real" news.


As an interesting asside to all of this, even as the Greens are clming
that
we are within one degree of "irreversible and catastrophic" global
warming,
I heard a rather interesting asserton about climate a couple of days ago.

It seems that we are still several degrees cooler than the predicted
temperatures from a long term solar cycle and--this is the interesting
part--we are the same amount cooler than the "optimum" temperature for
world
wide food production.

BTW, I am no expert on this,

you are so right there - you are no expert, better leave it to those who
have spent a lifetime studying the matter.
