Yes, we have had killer heat waves, killer storms etc., but they happened years apart. We are getting them way more frequently. In fact we are probably going to see a steady increase. Can you not see the extreme changes all over the world? Sure there was a killer heat wave in ____ back in l9__. There was a killer storm in____ back in l9___. Now it is increasing. There are way more storms, flooding, hotter temperatures. You need to stop looking just in your area, your country and start looking at other countries around the world.

WHAT IS WITH THIS STUPID PUBLISH BUTTON?!!!!

jimfinster,
My hope is they don't "go" anywhere! That was the whole point. Burial at sea is generally accepted as an appropriate way to dispose of the dead.

Dumb dumb dumb. Where do you think all those displaced people will go? Right to your neighborhood!

[jimfinster]

hawksprings:

Follow the money!

Seriously, so we should do nothing?

[hawksprings]

It's very comical to watch all the doom and gloom predictions of our future and to see how now every extreme weather event on the planet is blamed on humans. The Global Warming Sheep want us to believe that the Earth has never had killer heat waves, killer cold spells, and killer storms until now.

[rf35]

Another meaningless debate. I truly hope nothing is done to mitigate global worming and that China, India, and San Francisco end up under water. And with a little luck, no one will bother to move further inland in these areas. That way, hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions will die and ease at least a little of the pressure overpopulation is putting on the planet. For this is the real issue...too many people for Earth to sustain. Steps should be taken to halt and eventually reverse population growth. The reason people had 5 kids in the middle ages is that 4 probably wouldn't survive to reproductive age. Now it is done because of "tradition." Some even consider it a religious mandate. What does that say about organized religion? Most humans are worse than sheep...more like lemmings following their leader to obvious death but not daring to turn aside because nobody else is. It seems the herd mentality is programmed into our genes. And let's face it...we still aren't evolved enough to override this programming with our intelligence.

You and the dinosaurs have something in common :)

In the early 1970s, an ecologist friend of mine said, "America has enough coal and other fossil fuels to power industry for 300 years, so we don't need nuclear power!" He and his friends won the argument, but now we have carbon in the atmosphere and are suffering for it.

The point is, well meaning people reject solutions that can work and champion programs that sound good, but that no one will actually do.

Planting more trees and irrigating arid land will help right now. It is faster to do this than build new power plants or control driver behavior.

[prelgovisk]

People are more likely to plant trees than drive less. Let's go for a solution that people will do. Expecting otherwise is just asking for failure. Human behavior has to taken into account for real solutions.

It is more poductive to slove a problem with a less than perfect method that will work, than insist it be solved with a method the Sierra Club likes, but that no one will actually do.

We could all drive less individually, but the industrilization of India, China and Brazil means more cars and more factories, so that means more emissions overall. Individually people may be convinced to drive less, but on the shear number of new drivers means more emissions.

We could have gotten cheap electricity from hydro-electic sources and nuclear powerplants, but this was opposed also. I remember some ecologist friend of mine saying, "America has enough coal and other fossil fuels to power it's industry for 300 years, so we don't need nuclear power!" They won the argument, but now we have carbon in the atmosphere and are suffering for it.

The dinosaurs lasted 170 million years. And they had an IQ of 5. So the odds that mankind will not last as long as they did are extremely remote. So quit worrying folks, we have at least another 200 million years to go.

"worthless"

[drivelphobe]

How fortunate we all are to be alive and witnessing the exploits of Al Gore. First he invents the internet and now global warming. What's next? Hollywood movies? Is there no end to the baloney that democrats will dream up to stir the pot? Al Gore is worhtless!

"We will always have a desert. And if we If we don't solve the problem soon, Antarctica may become a desert ecosystem."

Um, buddy; Antarctica already is a desert ecosystem. Desert means dry, not hot. *** with the planet even more is a very bad idea. How about instead we DRIVE LESS.

[macusweil]

I'm shocked the neo.con Gas, Oil and Petroleum (GOP) lobby has not been able to squash this report. The Republican `Culture of Corruption` includes maximizing short term profits for the corp energy giants.

[incog-nito]

Oh no! Even NASA is joing the global crowd. What's this world coming to? No matter of course, since we all know that only President Bush is right about everything and everybody else is wrong. After all, didn't Bush say he has a direct line to the Almighty Himself?

[chicnlittle]

Who ever voted for Bush in 2000 and 2004 are idiots! Thanks people who did "waves" we are sooo much closer to being in a bankrupt, no government healthcare country, due to your vote. Thanks!

You are quite welcome. Now, go get a job.

WOW, with comments like that who needs enemas? I'm glad I live in Alaska, at least up here if you tan, it would have took a solid 10 hrs of daylight to do so. This cracker likes his toast slow roasted. Have a happy heat wave yall! Oh yea by the way. Winter on the east coast this last year was colder and harsher than up here in Alaska. It was colder in Texas and Tenn. than it was up here. Keep those hairspray cans going! Soon we'll have palm trees!
