Earth hottest it's been in 2,000 years

[highpeaksdrifter]

It's only the National Academy of Sciences. What the hell do a bunch of scientist know about science anyway. Let's keep telling ourselves it's just a normal cycle for Mother Earth.

See above.

I'm going to let this new global warming thread go for now. The first sign of politics and this baby's gonna get locked tighter than a nun's legs.

Love this reply...it was EXACTLY what I was thinking...

some people will never buy the fact that this is cyclical and that even these "scientists" are just theorizing themselves...

NOONE REALLY KNOWS...is that soo hard to understand??

I don't think so..

As a graduate of a Catholic school I'm deeply offended.

Nothing that I can remember. Who the hell knows though; I was sleeping up there most of the time. I did trip and fall off the alter once. Luckily it was right after mass so not that many people saw...

I can't tell if he's serious or just being smart-alecky because of an apparent disagreement with the politics "ban" here. In any event, I'm Catholic so I'm allowed; just as an Irish man is allowed...

I'm just being smart-alecky because of the politics "ban" here. Dang, you see right through me.

Freudian slip?




Just so we're clear, the only edit I made was to add the bold.

More sarcasm. I love it. Everyone is grumpy because it's summer. Don't fret, all. The days are getting shorter and the snow will be here soon............or will it? :-o

Whew...I thought that might get semi "ugly" and force a ban on religion too ;-)

I really don't know why I am going to respond to this, but hey...

2,000 years is not a lot of time in terms of the earth. We are are obviously in a warming cycle right now and exiting a mini-ice age. We are accelerating this warming cycle, it is unknown to which degree we are doing it. We maybe increasing the warmth of the earth by something like .00001 of a degree or we might be increasing it by something huge like 3 degrees. I really don't think there is anyway to know at this point in time. So why not play it safe and try to do what you can against global warming?
