"Coral growth and repair rates are slowing down. Rupert Ormond, a marine biologist from Glasgow University, says that the world's coral reefs will be dead within 50 years because of global warming, and there is nothing we can do to save them."
- - He may be right about the dying reefs, but he's not a climatologist. More likely the cause is pH, not GW.

"Add water to a glass, it fills up. Drop ice cubes in it, it over flows."
- - When the ice that's already in the glass melts, the level of the water goes DOWN.

"(Average global temperatures are expected to rise 5 degrees by then)."
- - Based on the IPCC temperature data which was faulty.

"...it will release billions of tons of stored carbon into the atmosphere, accelerating global warming."
- - Only if you assume a closed system.

"Whats worse is that a paper published in 2005 linked a one-degree rise in sea surface temperature to the increase of hurricane intensity."
- - Except that there hasn't been a 1? rise in ocean surface temperatures when global conditions are averaged.

"The forecast for 2006 Atlantic hurricane season, which runs from June 1 to Nov. 30, calls for 17 tropical storms and 9 named hurricanes."
- - Less than 2005? How can that be if GW is the cause? Where I live, the weather forecasters can't get it right for tomorrow afternoon. I'm not too concerned about their predictions for the next century...

"with 2005 being the hottest year in history."
- - Not globally, only in isolated areas where the psuedoscientists are reporting. The data that doesn't support their theories tends to end up on the cutting room floor.

"Things are picking up, and fast. You don't need to be a scientist to see this."
- - Actually, you do. The increrase in temperatures over the last 50 years (when corrected for the misinformation) is two digits to the right of the decimal point.

"We are directly responsible for these effects and it is becoming more and more evident."
- - It takes incredible levels of self-esteem (arrogance) to think that we're capable of causing a significant change in global temperatures.


Friendship is like peeing your pants. The whole world can see it, but only you experience the warmth.
