Every one seems to be very quiet about the heat wave they are having in Russia,the floods in Pakistan,the opressive heat in the mid and lower states.
Now we have an island of ice 100 square miles big,that's 4 times the size of manhatten,it's drifting across the atlantic ocean after breaking off from a glacier in Greenland. I could very easily run into oil rigs ,it could drift into shipping lanes ,( see Titanic) .
US rep Edward Marky of massachusetts suggesting it could serve as a home for climate change skeptic's.
I suppose as usual you right wing Rush Limbough fans will listen to him because he is all knowing all seeing and a huge athourity on global warming.
In my old country he would be known as a "TWERP",in Scotland he would be known as an "eegit"
And in the old Germany he would be Hitlers second in command,ooops sorry he is a jew right ?
He is just an not a very nice person.

Edward Marky, wow you have never heard him,you should be ashamed of yourself.

At the other end of the spectrum, crops in southern California are not ripening due to a near-record cool summer...

Look at all the building and roads that hold the heat over night,That weren't there 100 years ago.

Bill is right, as a matter of fact, many weather recording stations started out in grassed fields and literally have had parking lots, buildings, AC units, etc. built under and next to them.  
So much for accurate measurements and the scientific process......
Besides, you cant get gubmint grants for natural events.

Oh, and for all you anti capitalists, Duke Energy (in NC) reported that investors would make billions if Cap and Trade legislation went through and they started selling carbon credits and other such snakeoil.  Wonder WHO would be footing that bill????
nothing made or used.  
hmmmm

Al Gore invented the internet and discovered global warming. He will save us!

The ice caps on Mars were melting while our temperatures were rising. Solar activity is a big influence on our weather. The climate has been changing since air started blowing around this planet. Its a huge scam that is being perpetrated, trying to pass a carbon tax & gain more government  control.

Ah He!! guys n gals, ya gotta die sometime.
We're either going to burn up from global warming or drown when all the icecaps melt.
Oh wait, i forgot we're all going toes up in 2012 when the all the planets align and Mother Earth kills us all.
That is if someone dont start a nuke war first.
Or all medical testing or our tampering with viruses creates another super bug. Swine fly, bird flu, ebola, bubonic plague or Spanish Flu.
Or all that escaped freon from our airconditioners finaly does away with the ozone level.(This one is on going now)
Lets not forget we're about due for another ice age.
Or that we're over due for a ELE meteor strike(extinction level event).
Avereages every 650 million years and we're supposed to be 50 million years over due.
We could get off easy though. Just have a major volcanoe erupt like at the beginning of the Dark Ages. Have three or four years of winter like weather year round.
Or the super volcanoe under Yellowstone erupts and wipes out 3/4's of the U.S. in one fell swoop overnight.
Or Armageddon when the Angels and Demons make war on earth.
Or the rapture and we get left behind.
Nuts! I almost forgot. What about being invaded by retillian aliens to steal all our water and use us as a food source.
Or some free roaming planet collides with us or passes within the moons orbit to create massive gravity fluxuations. Wait, thats also part of the 2012 mayan predition
Makes worrying about cagers trying to run us over for fun seem like a minor annoyance.
