Default Ice storm!

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.

Gosh Jim, that sounds just like George C Scott talking about carrying
the fight to the Russians at the end of WW2 in the movie PATTON. :-))

Sounds like a great opportunity to make some money.

I'll load up an 18 wheeler with some of our local "undocumented immigrants"
and a bunch of chain saws and be up there tomorrow.

At least solar system warming. But that doesn't get you an
Oscar.

Nor does it gain you research funding.

It should, after all we could place large set of louvers or
blinds in an orbit to shade the Earth, or learn to control
the Sun. Besides, when has funding depended on rational
thought, it is all about the children.

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, 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.
