Global Warming - Page 21

Wow, what a miserable response...maybe you should call the suicide hotline...

No working is a white MANS game...

And if you work hard enough you get to enjoy a few perks...

So wallow in your misery while I enjoy a nice afternoon, some good food, a few drinks, and the company of some nice people...

I love to work and I am very good at it. Hell, I never get a day off and I love it. Wouldn't know what to do with a real day off. When not working at work I am busting my butt at home doing major landscaping or some other large project or cutting the elderly neighbors grass or helping him do some project he can't do any longer. Play is for kids. Miserable? I doubt it, work is what fuels and drives me. Playing golf on a day when I could be working at home or doing something for my neighbors seems a little bit selfish to me. But you have fun out there driving your cart from hole to hole with the good old boys at the club.

Yep, don't worry climate change isn't happening.

The remains of Antarctica's Larsen B Ice Shelf are likely to disintegrate by the end of the decade, reports a new NASA study. The 2002 partial collapse of Larsen B, which has existed for more than 10,000 years, was a wakeup call to scientists studying global climate change.

The remnant, located on the coast of the Antarctic Pennisula, is about 1,640 feet thick at its thickest. A massive, widening rift near the shelf's grounding line is likely to crack all the way across, researchers said. Then the remaining 625 square miles -- about the size of Lake Superior and Lake Michigan combined, scientists said, will break off and shatter into hundreds of icebergs.

Glaciers Split, Leave Behind Stretch Marks

"What is really surprising about Larsen B is how quickly the changes are taking place," said Ala Khazendar of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, Calif., in a statement. "Change has been relentless."

Without the ice shelf, glaciers will more easily flow to the ocean, researchers said, and the accelerating glacier movement will speed sea level rise.

A Global Milestone: CO2 Passes 400 PPM

"These are warning signs that the remnant is disintegrating," Khazendar said. "Although it’s fascinating scientifically to have a front-row seat to watch the ice shelf becoming unstable and breaking up, it’s bad news for our planet. This ice shelf has existed for at least 10,000 years, and soon it will be gone."

MINNEAPOLIS (The Borowitz Report) – Scientists have discovered a powerful new strain of fact-resistant humans who are threatening the ability of Earth to sustain life, a sobering new study reports.

The research, conducted by the University of Minnesota, identifies a virulent strain of humans who are virtually immune to any form of verifiable knowledge, leaving scientists at a loss as to how to combat them.

“These humans appear to have all the faculties necessary to receive and process information,” Davis Logsdon, one of the scientists who contributed to the study, said. “And yet, somehow, they have developed defenses that, for all intents and purposes, have rendered those faculties totally inactive.”

More worryingly, Logsdon said, “As facts have multiplied, their defenses against those facts have only grown more powerful.”

While scientists have no clear understanding of the mechanisms that prevent the fact-resistant humans from absorbing data, they theorize that the strain may have developed the ability to intercept and discard information en route from the auditory nerve to the brain. “The normal functions of human consciousness have been completely nullified,” Logsdon said.

While reaffirming the gloomy assessments of the study, Logsdon held out hope that the threat of fact-resistant humans could be mitigated in the future. “Our research is very preliminary, but it’s possible that they will become more receptive to facts once they are in an environment without food, water, or oxygen,” he said.

Good find Travels...

Where is that Ion person, because if this isn't attack the messenger, instead of the message, I don't know what is. Special that those little one liners are saved just for me.

What little one liner are you talking about?

Oh brother. reread the Baltimore thread, this may give you a clue. Read Ion's past posts that may also give you a clue. But then again you are pretty clueless.
