Climate Change (fka man-made global warming)
Good god, a city was built in what may be the most flood prone area outside the ocean itself, & a massive storm manages to smash thru the artificial defenses. Fucking surprising.

Must be the global warming show. I've avoided it. If I want to see speculation and theories made on unreproducable experiments with a complete lack of removable of all possible variables, I'll watch...I also think I caught some of that Discovery thing in a rerun this weekend. You'd hate it, G.
well, nothing.

Yeah, funny how the press may have been concerned with the flooding of a city, or something.
So where were all the national headlines blasting the local government for taking the money the feds gave them to strengthen their levys on, and instead spending it on casino boats?
Why didn't we hear daily about how they should be in jail and how they hate black people?
No instead, everything is Bush'd fault or FEMA's fault and Nagin got re-elected.
Nagin should be in jail.

It's great that they try. Keep working on it. The pursuit of knowledge is never a wasted life. But stop telling us we're all dead in 10 years, Al Gore you pathetic idiot.

Pat Robertson believes in global warming, for stupid, stupid reasons.
That might just kill the whole environmentalist movement.

Front page of Yahoo today is Leonardo DiCaprio talking about global warming. One of the links takes you to the Yahoo latest news for global warming page.
Guess what story isn't there? That's right, the one about the UN downgrading man's impact.

Wait, wait, wait a minute! Didn't 'they' say these extreme environmental events (see hurricanes) are the result of global warning?GORDON wrote:Global warming making it harder for hurricanes to form?

I guess I need to look at the title of this thread.
Wadda mean? Other people can read this?!

Researchers debate warming, hurricanes
Hell, maybe even the first paragraph.
The debate over whether global warming affects hurricanes may be running into some unexpected turbulence. Many researchers believe warming is causing the storms to get stronger, while others aren't so sure. Now, a new study raises the possibility that global warming might even make it harder for hurricanes to form.
