#1 Man wasn't around for many of the previous ice ages and warming times. How do the global warming enthusiasts explain that? Methinks they overate man's effects on the planet or they hate people. If they really believe that global warming is the result of man, they should be sent over to China and India to convince them to change their way of doing things--whatever that would be.

#2 Hopefully, I don't drown in the tunnel

Global Warming® won't cause you to drown in Boston's Tunnel System.

Shoddy workmanship will.

#6 The Czech Republic, a 1,000 kilometers from the ocean and nowhere less than 100 meters above sea level, clearly has a vital interest here.

#8 Last report I have seen said that the ice sheets in Antarctica are growing. It is amusing they visit there only at the end of summer in that hemisphere. I invite them to come see in the winter.

#10 Yeah, every year 88% of the Antartic sea ice melts. So they stand around saying, "OMG OMG it's melting!" as they watch the icebergs calve off.
