    Floods and drought are connected. Extremes in weather.

    Not in a "permanent drought" ! :p After a very dry 8 or 9 years the "expert" was emboldened to predict that the rot had set in and things wouldn't be returning to normal. He was right about that, floods reached heights never before seen ! :rolleyes:

    There have always been floods and droughts. Hint: Don't build on a floodplain or in the desert. :p

    Sinkholes caused by manmade CO2.

    I'm waiting for the headline.

    No more ridiculous than the OTHER claims about BAD CO2! :D

    Sinkholes are caused mainly by tannic acid in Florida, this from decaying vegetation, especially the leaves of oak trees. Carbonic acid also dissolves limestone.

    that's what REAL science says.

    Ignore REAL science!

    It's manmade CO2!

    Otherwise, the libs can't hook a political agenda to it.

    We have to let libs have their day before TEOTWAKI they'll cause. :D

    I'm not sure how you got the idea that sinkholes were caused by man made CO2, but as it turns out extreme weather, (abundance of rain or drought) which is expected to increase with Climate Change, can increase the likelihood of sinkholes forming.

    What Causes Sinkholes to Form?

    Oil companies have to play politics just like anybody else. If they get concessions and more drilling rights by claiming to be helping prevent Global Warming, that's what they will claim. When there are activists, politicians and businesses together, science will not thrive

    Isn't it a little off the wall to make stuff up, imagine that someone said it, then make fun of them for saying it?:confused:

    You remind me of my wife. One night a few years ago she dreamed I did something mean to one of our sons. I don't know what it was... but she woke up mad at me, and stayed mad for a couple of weeks before she let it go.

    Internet is a distraction.

    :)

    Gonzo,

    Big Oil has to play politics, their silent partner takes 1,000 percent of the profits .... President Obama would really be running deficits if he wasn't taxing Big Oil and the middle class like CRAZY!

    But, that is politics. They all do it some, some do it more than others.

    PS - I think we need a new, smaller, kinder government.

    Agreed. Smaller government does not equal anarchy.

    You know. Before all the fancy climatologists getting rich screaming the "sky is warming up," someone predicted there would be all these crazy things happening.

    2,000 years ago.

    :idea:
