We are currently lucky enough to be living in a warm period - an interglacial period - of an ice (glacial) age that has lasted, so far, about 2.6 million years. 2. In glacial ages such as our own, there are short periods of warmth between longer periods of cold - the current interglacial period has lasted c.18000 years and is perhaps due a return to the next, long-lasting glacial period. 3. Humans do not flourish during glacial periods of ice ages. Nor do flora or fauna. 4. We need to heat this planet, cleanly, not cool it. 1.

Or, would you rather they get past the continental shelf first. I would suggest all the Democrat party, and most of the Republican Party as crew for the ships. Most of teh judges as well. Won't be much room for cargo, but they'll have everything that matters. After the FlotCom embarks and gets past the 100 fathom line, can we turn the 688s on them then?

I keep going back to the blog posting shared by Lex over at <a href="http://chiefio.wordpress.com/2009/11/09/gistemp-a-human-view/" rel="nofollow">GIStemp</a>, and I cannot help but tremble with rage at the audacity of these mo##**F**$ers. Multiple authors who, after careful analyses by professionals a helluva lot better educated on the subject than any of us, are clearly defined as befuddled, and who, again clearly, did not know how to proceed except to fabricate data for the arrays. All of which is known by, and perhaps directed by, the Goreacle hisself. I was going to suggest conscripting any number of liar-yers to crew the Merchies, GM & QM, and would nominate Il Goreacle for Flotilla Commander. Being summat acquainted with a recent left coast SubGru boss, I may get some great pointers as to where and how to best git er dun.
