Care to back that up? How can "A glacier use to be here and now it's not" have a 250% margin of error? You are turning into the SMK of the environmental discussions.

If anyone would have a 7 Cylinder it'd be Volvo. I think there were some 7 cylinder diesels out there.

F.O.G, I like you and we agree on a lot of things, but you're still wrong on this one. They changed the terminology because of statements like yours. It may sound strange, but yes global warming could cause snow in London. Here's the explanation: London is kept warm by the gulf stream. As warming melts arctic ice, that cold water and ice burgs flow south and interact with the gulf stream as it heads toward the English coast. This has a cooling effect on the gulf stream and lowers the air temperature reaching England. Keep in mind that nearly all of England is at a higher latitude than any of the lower 48 states.

What recovery? The fundamentals of the economy are strong.

Yo! Idiots! Over here! This is the enemy! Stop fighting each other and focus on the task at hand.

You do point out one of the unintended benefits of global warming.... the most populated places in CA will be under water. it's a joke people.... laugh.

You expecting a $7,000 rebate and 0.9% financing?

The towers would have likely stood had it not been for the intense fire. There is a reason transcontinental flights were chosen from Boston. Fuel.

What's your idea of what has caused a glacier to shrink by 90% over 100 years? I mean seriously... we know for a fact that carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. We know we are dumping a lot of it into the air every year. Don't let your hatred of Gore cloud your ability to reason.

but yeah, just a theory......

Glaciers in Spain's Pyrenees have lost 90% of their ice in the last 100 years. Continuing global warming insures that they will completely disappear in a few decades. Most of Europe's glaciers are shrinking and overall have lost a quarter of their mass in less than 10 years.

I thought GM filled everything from Ecotecs to HF3.6s to LS-whatevers with Mobile one these days.

The facts of the past are not in question. We do know for a fact that carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. We know how much of it we are putting into the air each year. We can observe the climate data from the last 100 years, we can observe animal behavior, we can observe plant growth patterns, and we can form a hypothesis. Basic scientific method.

and that's how we got you.....

Fine. Both of you are unqualified. I don't know what the true answer is, but I choose to err on the side of caution... ya know, just in case the facts that are not in dispute turn out to point to a bigger problem. I personally don't care if my car is powered by genetically modified hamsters as long as it's cheap to fuel, has great acceleration, is smooth, quiet and causes minimal environmental impact.

There seems to be confusion about the Politics rule in non-politics threads. Discussion of policy is fine. Discussion of execution of policy is fine. Random partisan hackery irrelevant to GM or the discussion at hand is not fine.

My friends in Germany have this neat setup where there are two buttons on the toilet instead of one handle. The smaller button is for a normal, low flow flush. The larger button is for more super doody flushing capacity.

Wow, what a thread. 1. 68, you can't say that global climate change is a myth. You don't know. 2. Even if global climate change is 125% false, we are still running out of oil. 3. It's not the electrical generation capacity that we have to worry about. It's the transmission network that is horribly out of date. We are sitting on an incredibly brittle system that everyone refuses to upgrade. 4. There is no such thing as clean coal. Sure you might be able to burn it cleaner than before, but the process of getting it out of the ground is incredibly environmentally destructive. There's also a lot less coal around than we're being told. 5. Traditional hydro electric is done. You won't see any more Hoover Dams or Tennessee Vally Power Authorities. Tidal and wave generation have potential. 6. Nuclear won't be viable for new construction in the U.S. until we get rid of the Jimmy Carter era regulations regarding the types of reactors we can build.

Are you all really that constipated?

At the dealer? 10 dollars/quart plus $10 oil filter plus $20 labor?

not allowed. If I keep the deposits in an interest bearing account, I have to return the interest to the tenant at the end of the lease term. It's too difficult to keep track of so I don't do it.
