Where'd you get this from?

Larger dinosaurs mostly coincide with the induction of grass; open savanah; free movement.

I think there is only one or two in this thread dropping the F-bomb and raging with personal attacks.
In reality I think their goal is to have this thread closed.

Here is another AP story, "Global Warming may require higher dams, stilts":

Global warming may require higher dams, stilts - Yahoo! News

I like how the story says that "Climate Change is happening rapidly", even when the IPCC has to admit that the climate has actually cooled since 1998. And, if the hacked emails from the CRU are correct, there has been no warming since 1960. So, how does the AP get away with publishing such nonsense in the mainstream news? Because, by definition, even cooling is considered "climate change", even if it isn't, or isn't related to global warming.

But as Copenhagen starts next Sunday, you can be sure that more "Climate Change" stories will be posted, even if the nature of the change is ambiguous or illogical.

The list of measures being taken in the story is laughable. Sacramento says it will be spending money to protect rivers "when the sea level rises". Left unmentioned is that Sacramento is 25 feet above sea level, and even Al Gore in his worst scenarios did not predict sea level increases of that magnitude.

The permafrost below the Alaskan oil pipeline is melting, but it is melting because the oil in the pipeline has been heated significantly so it will flow in the cold weather. The measures they are using to freeze the permafrost are to use "thermal siphons" to allow the cold air farther away from the pipeline to transmit cold into the ground. If global warming were indeed the cause of the permafrost melt, then this thermal siphon system wouldn't work, would it? How stupid do they think we are?

Global Warming induced sea level rise is also being cited as a danger to places like Singapore and Bangladesh, rather than other causes, such as increased population and erosion. Have you ever wondered why the rivers in these areas are brown? Its because of the rain water washing the soil into the sea. The amount of eroded soil carried away by a major river in a single hour is astounding. The Appalachian mountains in America used to me much taller than they are now. They are not shorter now because the seas have risen, but because eons of weather and erosion have worn them away. The same thing occurs near the coasts, and even faster in agricultural areas where rain and irrigation work together to cause erosion. The city of New Orleans has actually been "sinking" over the years, and is now below sea level when there has been no measurable increase in sea level, the same has happened in other cities built on river deltas. But, once again, we are assumed to be too stupid to know this.

I hope those of you who are living in Dallas are enjoying the snow, I know it's very unusual to have snow there in December. Do you think this year's snowfall is somehow caused global warming? You will if you are a reporter for the AP.

I'm not worrid about the F- Bomb against me either, they have already lost the arguement when they start curseing you.

The US runs on cheap fuel, so? There is no need to "level" any playing field with Europe, it's their own fault they aren't at the same level. Forceing a better team to handcuff themselves to "level" the playing field is nuts. Why should the Colts leave Peyton on the bench if the other team doesn't have a good Quarterback? That isn't the Colts problem.

"Level" playing field is why Baseball established different leagues, that way you didn't have any issues with some teams being well above other teams in skill. You don't force Major Leaguers into AAA or AA teams, just so those AAA and AA teams can have a "level" field, that isn't fair to the higher quality players either. If you prevent people from achievement then nothing is achieved.

HA!!! Global warming is just a lie made up by al gore because he was pissed off. and please do not use foul language:) keep our forum clean

Too late; you just soiled it...

Thanks for the links.

"Bloggers allege that an e-mail from Kevin Trenberth, head of the Climate Analysis Section at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, suggests that reality contradicts scientific claims about global warming"

I think a lot of the stuff is being taken out of context though.

anyway, wtf?!

ah nuthing, just same old dopey oil/coal-industry powered games. if the moon landing being fact was unprofitable, there'd be more websites, lobbyists, unfounded rumors and spin trying to prove it was staged. but the climate deniers take the cake on that.
