Ramblings of a Desiccated Mind

Yep, only a myth.

Over the past 30 years, Earth has warmed by 1.08 degrees F (0.6 degrees C), NASA said. Over the past 100 years, it has warmed by 1.44 degrees F (0.8 degrees C).

Shindell, in line with the view held by most scientists, attributed the rise to emissions of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane and ozone, with the burning of fossil fuels being the primary source.

The 21st century could see global temperature increases of 6 to 10 degrees F (3 to 5 degrees C), Shindell said.

"That will really bring us up to the warmest temperatures the world has experienced probably in the last million years," he said.

You know what else happened about a million years ago? Cro-Magnon Man first appeared on the plains. You know who Cro-Magnon Man was?

That's right.

The modern manifestation of the shaved ape.

That means you. That means me. That means the whole, stinking, selfish species.

And look ... people ... this isn't some berry-eating granola fringe-nut we're talking about, it's NASA.

63.144.176.2 sez: you're kind of a chickenshit. you're supposedly a horror author who
pushes boundaries, a polemicist who worships bigmouths like bill mahr,
who is a man who takes on all comers, even when he's completely wrong,
but you screen postings, you complain about decorum, and you mince around
like a forty-five year old wus. man, what a fucking wimp.

Yep! You called it right, anonymous hero! You want to find out how much of a "chickenshit" I am, you just tell me where to meet you, and we'll get this settled once and for all, all right stud? Bet you bring a gun.

You think what you like.

I'm not the one who goes around to people's semi-private places to tell them what I think about them.

When did I hurt you?

Will you ever get over it?

Golly, I hope so.

I have more mincing to take care of, Braveheart, and then I'm going to go cry in my latte while watching long distance telephone commercials.
