Ice Age a coming

[Oscar]

OK I wish these people would make up their minds. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,352241,00.html

I thought Ice Ages were brought on by global warming?

[Steve]

If it makes Moab cool enough to wheel all summer I'm all for it. :D

Time to get breakfast at the Moab Diner and go wheel some more. :pbj:

They're calling it "Global Climate Change" now so whether it gets hotter or colder they can still BLAME US. :mad:

Good grief. Another ice age!

All four agencies that track Earth's temperature (the Hadley Climate Research Unit in Britain, the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York, the Christy group at the University of Alabama, and Remote Sensing Systems Inc in California) report that it cooled by about 0.7C in 2007. This is the fastest temperature change in the instrumental record and it puts us back where we were in 1930. If the temperature does not soon recover, we will have to conclude that global warming is over.

What they are talking about is a repeat of what happened long ago during the dark ages in Europe. There was what has been nick named the mini ice age. During this time temps dropped significantly, and caused alot of people to die due to starvation. What we know is this was preceeded by an unusually warm period. It seems we might be meeting that criteria now and we have the ability to tie that into the mechanics of the sun.

The problem is none of this we have any control over, warming, cooling. Our actions don't have as much of an effect as the hippies would have you believe. All we can do is be prepared and find ways to deal with what the Earth throws at us.

Why you gotta rub it in? :thumbsdown:

[jimfoo]

Cool, time to outlaw catalytic converters and go back to our polluting ways!:flipoff2:

[CLYDE]

We were told there was an ice age coming, all thru school??? global warming is a recent scientific fad to us. just remember, scientists arent happy unless they can predict doom and gloom for whatever reasons.

[Oscar]

Hold on Clyde I thought you was in school during the last ice age...oh wait then so was I :D

[CLYDE]

well I did walk to school in the snow




barefoot





uphill






both directions:flipoff2:

I like that! :thumbsup:

[Jake_Blues]

Yesterday it was 70 degrees and today it's 78. Obviously by this time next year the surface of the planet will be 3,000 degrees.

Ugh. Learn how averages and trends work, people.

That mini ice age was caused by hieghtened volcanic activity combined with reduced solar activity.

With that said, do the recent earthquakes in Southern Illinois indicate a reactivation of the Reelfoot Rift Zone, and subsequent volcanic eruptions in the Heartland?

hmmmm.... :flipoff2:

probably not, but I am waiting on New Madrid to bust loose, and flatten everything from Memphis to St. Louis. I seem to recall reading that the big quakes there were preceded by southern Il, quakes too.

Isn't that the one that let loose in the 1800's that changed the course of the Mississippi river?

Yes

[MinesJeep]

Yeah, most people don't realize that a 7+ on the new matrid is going to cost thousands and thousands of lives possibly since most of the leves will likely fail and very little construction in the region satisfies earthquake guidelines.

yeah snow

aint that the truth you bleeding heart liberals need to leave me and the way i live the fucuk alone good damnd gore with his lies

[cherokeerunner]

mmmm :drool: moab diner

I freckin love that place

um, global warming, ... ... ... moab diner!!

[Oscar]

stay on topic ...Moab Diner err yes on topic

[Pilot]

When you live in Colorado, who the ***** cares if the oceans rise. I say......:flipoff2: Global Climate Change.

I'm just buying/making more ammo.

stay on topic ...Moab Diner err yes on topic
Mmmmm...yeah...Moab Brewery!!:D :beer:

Meanwhile he (Gore) flies around the world with an entourage in a Gulfstream G V which burns more Jet A than one can imagine for its mission and he travels in caravans of Chevy Suburbans to give speaches on Global Climate Change so he can make money. Its his career. He's a hypocrite. Carbon offsetts are a liberal wet dream. They don't exist. Its like paying the Catholic Church to get into heaven. Ain't happening.

You are forgetting "with a baked potato in your pocket to keep you warm and that was all you had for lunch!"

thats the one.

[POS owner]

Come on global warming, I really don't like cold that much:D

[el-cheapo]

We could always use some more snow.................

Nuh-uh, SUV's weren't invented yet so clearly any sort of change in the temperature was impossible! :flipoff2:

On a different note, who here bets that when the Earth does cool off again, all the pricks in Priuses who bought carbon offsets will claim it was all because of their efforts? I do. :rant:

[OKJEEP]

Thank god gore invented the internet!

Had dinner there last night.
