    Some interesting country you got there Jim! We are mostly rocks, trees, and water here. Not much dirt on top of the rock.

    Agree with that bit about speculation. Fearsome projections about what's gonna happen 50 years in the future. Makes for great attention-getting headlines. Heck, look at a 1960 Popular Mechanics and we are s'posed to have colonies on Mars by now, and all be commuting to work in little personal...

    60mm is like 2-1/2"....over a 20 year period. Or is my math bad? Yikes! Best start building an ark if you live by the seashore.

    We can't all be so lucky, MB! Cory - did you happen to read some of the comments that are found under that story? Some pretty interesting observations on both sides.

    re. the oceans rising so many feet........an annual average rise (over the last 20 years) of 3.2mm just isn't too scary. (unless you are a scientist seeking government funding) There are a lot of those mm in several feet. I dunno how many, but it is a lot!!!

    Nobody (politicians, or scientists) know what this world is gonna be like in 5 or 10 years, but otherwise intelligent (or not do intelligent) folk buy into these dire predictions of how things will be 50 or 100 years from now......the temperature is gonna rise by so many degrees, and the sea...

    The "they" is gonna have to be them. The Chinese themselves. Probably take a prolonged mass die off in a smog filled city to achieve that. Extrinsic pressure from "the world community"? Not bloody likely! The UN is about as relevant as a bicycle is to a fish (to paraphrase a feminist talking...

    The Paris talks were a feel goody get together. Nothing more. The amount of CO2 in your blood is what controls your breathing. Not oxygen. It is made out to be some kinda poison by politicians and folks like Gore who make a living by scaring the gullible.

    The sap that may be running now in Detroit was shivering last February, wasn't it? Coldest February I can ever recall. Temperature never went above freezing the entire month. Food for thought...

    Kevin, picture yourself shivering in Sweden in 1600. Think of all the Swedes back then thinking like you are right now... You've gotta have your head stuck in the sand to think human activity causes global warming or cooling.
