You non-thinkers want to kick CC off the forum because killing the messenger is your solution to what you consider bad news. It apparently makes you nervous to hear legitimate criticism of your beloved the-earth-is-falling climate change theories. | ||

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29 718962/wid=18298287 we all know that climates are in flux..they have been for a long time...but what the flatlanders don't get is that we also exacerbate the situation by pumping pollutants into the earth...if we dumped toxins into the water it would be polluted..and would effect our drinking water...why wouldn't pumping Co2 into our atmosphere cause a concurrent problem...? the Great Lakes would be effected by droughts in the neigboring states...and in the midwest...the rising seas would effect the quality of life on our seaboard states...so if science can be the canary in the cave the time to listen is now...not when we have a perfect storm and say we should have listened...problem is that greed dictates morals and research...and it should be the opposite. | ||

Apologizing again Rb? As I have said before, there is no need to apologize for forfeiting points in a debate. | ||
Rb336 Member Username: Rb336 Post Number: 8699 Registered: 02-2007 |
when have I ever forfeited points in a debate to you? we've gone back and forth on this issue alone numerous times, I have supported my side with actual research EVERY time and you provide -- comic relief. the same is true of virtually everything else we've discussed here. the science is in -- you are wrong. there is no more real scientific debate on the main points -- global climate change/warming is a fact, it is caused by human activity, it will get more pronounced. where there is debate is what the result will be | ||

Back to Lake Superior, you two. The weather up there is beautiful this week, 50 degrees and melting. I am betting the ice won't go out til Memorial Day or so, though. I'm heading up there tomorrow to take a look. (Message edited by gazhekwe on March 17, 2009) | ||

I haven't personally visited Lake Superior in decades, but I remember spending a couple of weeks one summer in the early 70s, when we camped and went fishing in Canada at some smaller inland lakes right above it. I remember a restaurant that we had breakfast at a couple of mornings in Wawa had a huge outside thermometer that recorded the historically highest and lowest temperatures there in degrees C and F, being 92 F in the summer and -62 F in the winter.

I went to the Wawa Diner once in 1986. Had a huge goose out in front of it. (I guess Wawa means "goose" in some native tongue.) Cool diner. Kept the matchbook forever. It invited patrons to dine in their "viking room" (???). Had a picture of a viking with a falcon on his meaty fist. Vikings?  | ||

Vikings? Well...I do have relatives of Scandinavian descent who are from da UP eh? So I guess some [a dose] Norse Canadians could have crossed Lake Superior. Like my mother, who also grew UP there, but she instead is of French Canadian descent, and a bit o' Irish as well, the latter of which I inherited the red tint in my hair and a smattering of freckles on my skin.

This brings back a funny memory for me. In the late 80's, I was in the military and my mother would drop me a line from time to time to let me know what was going on back at home. In the summer of 1988, I gut a postcard from her with a picture of the Wawa Goose on the front. The back of the card read: [Your stepfather] made us drive for hours and hours to see this STUPID GOOSE! I think this would be more than adequate grounds for divorce for most judges. Anyway, hope all is well with you. Love, Mom. | ||

Collectivism is not the actual phenomenon of people thinking alike. In fact, usually the opposite is true. It is the State oppressing people/individuals with the excuse being that it is for the collective good. Once the misery of this dynamic is felt by the individual members of this collective, they almost always resent it bitterly. | ||

OK, I'm back from the frozen north. Whitefish Bay of Lake Superior is still frozen to the shoreline. Snow is melting, but the ground is still well covered. My dad has about a foot and a half of snow in his yard, down from about four feet last week. It was in the 40s when I got there, but down in the 20s today. The icebreaker was going through the Straits of Mackinac as I headed over the bridge on Wednesday. There is open water in places in the middle of the Straits. |
