Ice storm!

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.

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

The ones who have spent a lifetime studying it know no more about it than
Peter does, unfortunately. You can roll dice and match the accuracy of
predictions made by the "experts."

Remember, we still cannot predict the weather even 24 hours in advance with
any degree of accuracy. We know absolutely nothing about what the weather
will be like ten or a hundred years from now.

That doesn't necessarily entail that they are HONEST, especially with
$$$Billions in grants, etc., for coming to the right, preordained
conclusions.
