I figured it all out!

I found why there is so much goofiness with these global warming scientists:


Some of the ice shelf's disappearance was probably during times when the planet was 36 degrees Fahrenheit (2 degrees Celsius) to 37 degrees Fahrenheit (3 degrees Celsius) warmer than it is today - "much like it will be in the next 50 to 100 years," said Tim Naish, a lead scientist on the project from Victoria University in New Zealand.

This guy can't convert celsius to fahrenheit, and he's an expert!

In 50 years he thinks it will be 36 degrees hotter! No wonder he's in antartica!

Nobody said liberals were right, just that their 'feelings and emotions' were in the right place. I'm not even sure that much is true.:)

Notice the lack of link, and notice that the only actual quote of the scientist is "much like it will be in the next 50 to 100 years".

Sounds to me like the scientist said 2-3 degrees Celsius, and some not-too-bright reporter who doesn't know how to convert and just ran them through a Celsius-to-Fahrenheit calculator they found online.

[Flea_Bit_Monkey]

Or the scientist used a computer simulation to convert the temperature, and had to "calibrate" it for the results he wanted :D

Damn, it would be nice to have temperature 36 degrees warmer right now though, get rid of all this snow!

Kind of like the guy who thought New Orleans is "prime oceanfront property."

With boat parking.

How nice it would be to level this slum and put something worthy of the location in its place, right?

If you think the majority of NO was a slum BEFORE Katrina, then you never even went there.

[Flea_Bit_Monkey]

If you didn't think it was a slum, then you never looked past one or two tourist spots in the french quarter (which was a slum by most city standards) to Treme or the 7th Ward or anywhere else.

It was, and still is mostly a stinking dirty slum.

It wasn't, but if you think that, don't live and don't go there then.

I would personally like to see a picture where you live and I could EASILY call it a slum.

You could call anything a slum, but unless it actually is a slum you would just be lying about it.

New Orleans was, and is, a slum. A run down dirty crime-ridden area full of old, crappy houses. A slum.

And by whose standards shall we decide if it is a slum or not, yours?

Then don't go there. Your place is no better I'm sure.

KEEP ON TOPIC or GET WARNED

Thanks.

Which basically means this is just Flea Bit Monkey's "opinion" and not particularly worthwhile as an indicator of the validity of global warming. Anyone who thinks New Orleans is oceanfront property doesn't really have his facts together. Or his "opinions."
