Yes, global warm and weather/climate changes.
Mankind is alive, ergo, "we did it."

But I want Al Gore et al to explain why Mars is warmers,
Jupiter has a new spot, and even Pluto is getting warmer.

clearly it's a massive right-wing conspiracy, with those right-wing
talk shows radiating all that RF into space!

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.

Yup, the Iraq debacle is nothing, keep your eyes on the Oscar, not the lives and billions of dollars wasted in the

It wasn't wasted until after the November election, now the
Dimocrats want to be sure George Bush's legacy is failure.
George, I'm sure has other plans.

Bush is writing his legacy just fine on his own, doesn't need any help from the dimocrats...

Mission accomplished?.

The "mission" was the initial full scale small war. It
wasn't the end of the whole Muslim terror. Only the news
media and Democrat party ever pushed or claimed it was over.

Personally, we should have kept the B2 and B1s flying and
taken out Iran's military too. We may still have to do
that.

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, but a quick look at a globe type map suggests
that the area of the ice caps over land is very small compared to the area
of the oceans and that--even if the ice caps cold be melted--two feet might
be a better gusee than 20 feet.

However, I personally doubt that the temperature difference from not until
the next temperature peak will make much change in the amount of ice.
Therefore, it will make even less difference in the sea level. I know that
a lot of people deserve it, but it just won't happen within the next few
thousand years.

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

You mean the same ones that proclaimed global cooling in the 70s?
