  • And after the eruption of Karakatoa the entire planet cooled due to the crud in the atmosphere that circulated for years after the eruption. And when thar started going away, we started warming again. We would be better off if people would quit trying to explain the normal weather patterns and just observe the flux.

  • I'm waiting for some warmer to now claim that Rome burned because global warming made it so hot it caught on fire.

  • According to written history from the Roman era, the climate was a good deal warmer, but the carbon credit shysters screamed that history was incorrect. Now that the data from the tree rings confirm that the climate was warmer, I can see Al the Goricle's head spinning like something out of the Exorcist.

  • Did you see that apple has dropped it's "green" label ?
    Al Gore sits on the board of directors at apple-
    $250k a year + stock buys a lot of "oh never mind"

  • Time travel, eh? John, it is not my specialty but Denial is I believe the first stage of actualization. Please proceed with the other (6?) steps before answering more posts here. Jeez...time travel.

  • It's just Corporate Greed using their time machine to go back and plant this "evidence" to disprove the global warming they caused in modern times.

    The truth is out!

    • Seriously, do you BELIEVE what you right? You know what, you are NUTS palin and simple. You shoul dbe in a facility where with meedication and psychiatic care they can try to return you to something resembling normal! The WEATHER is the result of corporate greed? Jeesh!

    • Your logic is flawed.

      If there was a time machine, your mother would have realized her mistake and swallowed.

      Jokes aside, the sad part is that people who randomly pop into these threads don't know how big of a silly billy you're being when you post "Corporate greed [is responsible for my enlarged hind quarters]" and respond as if you were serious. Little do they know they are "Feeding the wildlife." Oh, and by "wildlife" I, of course, mean "piece of shit."

      See you on the next thread pal!
