What Do We Think About Climate Change

Flooding

Well, I for one might just agree with the global warming trend. Its been awhile since my last post, been out and about surveying damage. Our lake is up 40+ feet, and is being held at its topmost peak without taking out the bridge for fear of letting water into the streams and rivers that can't hold any more water...for those south of us, specially along the mississippi, best of luck to ya. Needless to say, since its been raining more than sunny, my boat is still "drying out" as my tarp has been quite well shredded by the wind. Anyway, hopefully, things will return to some semblance of normalcy for those who were completely flooded out of house and home. Guess well see....

trying to add some pics, but its going a bit slow, so subseqent posts might be necessary

 

I'll be buying in Mass. Prices are dropping like a rock, man, and predicted to get worse. And that isn't even factoring in the Alt-A meltdown, which nobody mentions and financial people only say, "Mmmm, yeahhhh." Look up Mr Mortgage on youtube.

The sweet thing is I have a couple of small properties on the market in a region that's attracting retirees like flies. Developments going up all around the town, and new commercial construction, too. Doesn't hurt that my burg was recently featured in the New York Times, and awhile ago as one of the best places to retire by Money magazine. So I figure I sell mine while they're still hot (okay, maybe just still warm), wait a year or two for the MA market to continue its death spiral, and SOMEbody is gonna dump a small place with a pond in the back yard. (I figure with almost 3200 lakes and ponds, not to mention all that shoreline, I'm about 20 times more likely to find my ideal home in MA than if I was looking for another place here at home.)

Pedal boats, here I come!

 

Don't get too excited tin, the prices will tumble even further, and hopefully your gold and silver will show more than a bright lining...

 

not puttin Mass. down,,,,,,but have you ever seen the shoreline there?,,,,remember that pic i think pericles posted with all the trash on shore,,,,thats how it is mostly on the mass shore,,,,,the water is yucky brown,,,,,its almost as bad as new york

 

Yup, sounds like late 2009 and 2010 are when Alt-As are going to start resetting. I've got high hopes for my Krugerrand and silver dollar in the meantime.

Hey, check this out: http://kcast.kitco.com/ . It puts a little gold price ticker on your screen, down by your clock!

You're from Maine, 1, you're required to put Massachusetts down, aren't you? Not that I'd argue much - most MA natives are pretty uncivil and pompous. Worst drivers I've ever seen. I've only been to Maine when it was cold and rainy. Great antique stores there for a casual book collector such as myself.

I like the MA beaches I've been to. I'm gonna look for a pond, though. I want to walk out the back door, hop in my pedal boat, and terrorize the ducks. Kinda like I do now with my bike, just wetter.

 

The way this flooding is going I'm looking at Mt Sinai myself, Oh yes and building a wee wooden barge -anybody know how to clean up several loads of **** each day or do I just chuck it overboard -it could end up being colonised by the arabs!

 

invest in dung beetles,,hehe

not required Tin.,,but it is expected,,hehe,,,in fact ,,any place from 100miles inside our 2 borders and beyond are "crap" areas,,hehe and free fer the pickin

 

Global Warming as Religion and not Science.

Here's another good opener for the day. "IPCC Scientist calls Global Warming Fears the Worst scientific scandal in history."

More, much, much more, to read here.

http://www.rightsidenews.com/200806...-the-worst-scientific-scandal-in-history.html

In the US Senate of all places. "Over 400 prominent scientists from more than two dozen countries recently voiced significant objections to major aspects of the so-called "consensus" on man-made global warming. These scientists, many of whom are current and former participants in the UN IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), criticized the climate claims made by the UN IPCC and former Vice President Al Gore."

Global Warming as Religion and not Science

Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.
Blaise Pascal

It was Michael Crichton who first prominently identified environmentalism as a religion. That was in a speech in 2003, but the world has moved on apace since then and adherents of the creed now have a firm grip on the world at large.

I hope that by the end of 2009, (or earlier, if possible) Al Goreb & his lackeys, cronies and adherents will be subject to the full weight of US law, for willfully & dishonestly misleading the people for their own greedy financial gain.

Guillermo,

Nobody expects the Auto da Fe. You have to like Monty Python, otherwise understanding the Spanish Inquisition sketch becomes fraught with difficulty.

EDIT for truth in all cases? - - Human beings never do good and/or evil, so completely and effectively, as when they do it from religious conviction.

 

That's the point, Brian.

Perry,
Should we re-read the Dialogue of Comfort against Tribulation this sunday?

Cheers.

 

I give it to you with much pleasure, do enjoy your new-found fame ? - - - As if you weren't already famous in my eyes...

 

Oopps, I was away a few days, didn't check up on this thread, until now... As you may have noticed I tend to take off when anybody mention climate ( areal partykiller... ).

Now I see Guillermo hav given a history lesson.... I realize that we Scandinavians lost momentum the instant we were christianed.... Hmmm... Better not follow that one up.....

Also I see Pericles, ehhh stubborn as always coming here with more facts and information.

Also I see now that there's a discussion if this issue is a religion or not.

Maybe the best way to achieve something, IS to make it into religion.....

(I always get a little high, when pushing "mesh and run" on the computer, and it's not showing any sign of getting unstable...)
