Psssst... America, over here. Know why it's raining and flooding so much?
All those melting glaciers and ice caps make a lot of water. You'd think the sea levels would rise more, but much of that water goes up into the air because it's sooo damn hot (100+ degrees in Oregon this last week). And when the air has more moisture in it, you get more rain. When that rain comes down in one spot... guess what... flooding.

I wonder how long it will be before flood insurance is no longer available... anywhere.

Now get your sorry butt out to see an Inconvenient Truth today!

1. "The lord said to Noah there's gonna be a floodie-floodie". I thought
Edited on Wed Jun-28-06 07:44 PM by lindisfarne
god was angry at the US for allowing * to remain president, as well as for waging war on the Iraq, for not having national health care, and not dramatically and immediately improving auto emissions and gas mileage.

And for not exercising more.

3. That's one reason
I live in the Ozarks up on the side of a mountain and not in the valley.....

Hopi Grandfathers have come out with a statement about coming earth changes--can be summed up as ,"Whoa Nelly!"

4. Make up your mind
Is it causing rain in the northeast, or is it causing draught in the west?

We can't just blame any weather we don't like on GW, there has to be some pattern.

6. How about it's causing both?
Pattern? The climate is changing, forget about any patterns you've ever known. This is going to keep creating new "patterns".

10. None of the weather models ANYWHERE can be relied on anymore.
Global warming causes global climate change. We have lost the ability to accurately forecast. The system is highly unstable, and we are seeing more extremes and worse extremes.

This is exactly as predicted by climatologists based on scientific knowledge of the "greenhouse effect".

We are not only running the car's engine in a closed garage - there IS no garage door. If you think there are no consequences to this, I want a whole lot of what you've been smoking.

5. Noah! Yeah? How long can you tread water?
Edited on Wed Jun-28-06 08:02 PM by mcscajun
'Course Noah had a heck of a job really
He had to go out and collect
All the animals in the world, by two's
Two mosquitoes, male and female
And, uh, he had to keep telling the rabbits
"Only two, only two, only two."
So we find Noah pulling up the last two animals
Two hippos and he's really in a hurry to get em up
Because hes afraid that the Lords gonna call him
And ask him to do something else
And his nerves are shot
This is one heck of a job for a man 600 years old

So we find him pulling up the two last hippos
And of course the Lord does call him there

"C'mon fat hippos hurry up; C'mon will you please?"

"Noah!"

"What? What you want?"

"Gotta take one of those hippos out and bring in another one."

"What for?"

"'Cause you got two males down there and you need to bring in a female."

"I'm not bringin' nothin' in! You change one of em'!"

"C'mon you know I don't work like that."

}Well, I'm sick and tired of this! I've had enough of this stuff! I've been working all day,
working on it for days and days. I'm sick and tired of this!"

"Noah!"

"Yeah?"

"How long can you tread water?"

9. And this is exactly why we don't need to court the religious right
in this country. THEY don't give a shit about the planet. Trust me. I live next to people who trash their yard-big religious people. Big Christians. All that matters is heaven. I say let's court our BRAINS and science. All relgion is ultimately a death cult if the thing that matters the most is what happens when you die. Not what happens now. Pagans are the only life loving religion and they were wiped off the face of the earth, what does that tell you? Oh and the Gnostics. Nevermind. What we need is thought and truth. Not propaganda and hell and the devil. Not HEAVEN. Make earth heaven if you are religous, then I would "respect" your precious relgion.
