It hailed covering the ground yesterday and snowed here this morning. It's melted but still! I want spring! It never snows on the ground here.


That said did you know the polar ice cap once covered most the upper part of the US? I mean the earth has been warming up for sometime. Perhaps these warming and cooling trends are natural phenomenon. I am sure our pollution contributes but would it be happening anyway?

That is so obvious, yet no one seems to want to mention it. It's seemed logical to me, long before the politicization of global warming, and even before the global cooling fad of the 70s

That's crazy talk!

That's like how the earth shifting on it's axis is now considered to be a doomsday conspiracy theory....

Everyone needs to go back to classes on natural sciences and natural law.

Watch this great presentation on the migration of humans, and notice how the climate governs human life on earth.

Good one Bruce. I saw a show on discovery regarding that migration.

thanks spud

I don't know what the hell cicero's talking about because on the last page they are talking about eating roo and emu. I've never heard of that doomsday theory or what it has to do with eating roo or melting polar ice caps.

The Earth spins off of it's axis, making one half close to the sun and one far away, making extreme heat and cold.

Kinda like the way the earth is tilted on its axis now?
