#1 Just can't stop the end of the Ice Age but with enough cash a guy can create a tenured kingdom.

#2 I am convinced that a certain portion of the general population is always anticipating disaster, while a certain portion of the academic/nonprofit group population is always poised to feed off their fears. It's the old "snake oil salesman" or "patent medicine" routine. For every anxious dope there's a scammer eager to speak authoritatively and profit by it.

#3 The way to stop Global Warming is to cut off all the funding to university professors for research into the possibility of global warming. This is nothing more than a self-fulfilling prophecy that continues to be treadmilled into outrageous proposition to keep the money flowing. Reminds me of lawyers representing the majority of politicians and legislators - some one has to sow so others can reap!

#4 I'm pulling for an ice age, just to prove all these idiots wrong.

#5 My position continues to be that we can all counter the proliferation of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide by allowing our lawns to grow one inch higher. Whenever I announce my position, a neighborhood kid, who does yardwork for cash, eggs my house.

#6 Global warming seems to be selective: 12 degree Celsius here today, blue sky, sunshine...

#7 Ahhh... It was a balmy 0 degrees today here in Cow Hampshire USA. That was before the windchill.

The trusty ol' Volvo had trouble turning over. You don't see that often with these cars.

There was a weather advisory on the radio -- not for storms or what have you (it was a bright sunny day), but because of the cold.

So, what were these putzes going to jabber about at this conference again ?

#8 Super Hose- great idea! I've been saving the world for years and never knew it! Although the lawn does get mowed once it reaches about 6 inches longer than the nieghbors'....about twice a summer...
