		<description>Sponge-pants.

Welcome back from Christmas break!  I'm sure your village is glad to have it's id*ot back.  Now we can all get back to business.

Thanks for the link.  Interesting theory.  Hhhmmmm.  I wonder why the rest of the scientific community hasn't been smart enough to recognize the effects discussed here.  Ohhhh right, because they're bogus.  

The article itself is internally contradictory.  Sorokhtin is talking far ourside his depth, whatever it is.   I'll keep a watch out for any Nobel Peace Prizes for Sorokhtin, but I think he'll have stiff competition in his category from G. W. Bush.

Give me a Jingle sometime on private email if you are enjoying this conversation.

		<description>Sponge - Don't worry about the receipts.  You'll be using that summer gear by February.

Who's the lone Russian scientists who's forecast of global cooling has you all excited?  The guy's theory must carry a lot of weight because it has been endorsed by the entire scientific world of....SPONGE!...who believes in Ron Paul, and Santa Clause.

Sponge is hilarious.</description>

		<description>Thug...errrrr Sponge  I'm certain you would recognize the following sentiment as a similar theme among  the more christian Christians:  it doesn't matter if you believe in Climate Change, climate change will still find you.  Regardless.  

And then this, from a source you may be familiar with:
http://www.csmonitor.com/2007/1220/p04s01-wogi.html

Leaders from the US Catholic Conference of Bishops, the National Association of Evangelicals, the National Council of Churches, and the Union of Reform Judaism are pushing Congress and the Bush administration to fund efforts for poorer areas to adapt to drought, flooding, and other effects of climate change. 

"Christians, noting the fact that most of the climate change problem is human induced, are reminded that when God made humanity he commissioned us to exercise stewardship over the earth and its creatures.... Climate change is the latest evidence of our failure to exercise proper stewardship, and constitutes a critical opportunity for us to do better." 

You'll have a hell of a lot shorter wait to see real climate change than you will the second coming of Christ.  It's fine with me that you put your faith in the bible.  But suggesting that there is a legitimate debate going on here is like arguing that up is down, the sun rises in the east, bad is good, Jesus is Satan.  When in it comes to facts, you and Sonny are cut from the same cloth.  Let us prey....errrr pray.

		<description>This thread has degenerated into a "debate" (term used loosely) reminiscent of something I learned long ago: that it is impossible to debate the existence of god when one's opponent puts full faith and trust in ONLY the bible.  Some people worship at the alter of science.  Some worship only theology.  Perhaps a rare few can do both.  

Sponge believes in god, perhaps at the expense of science.  I respect his right to do that, and it clears up a lot.  So be it.</description>

		<description>Ok. That's it.  

Santa Claus Is NOT Coming! 'cause everyone here is B A D!

BAD!

...and Jesus didn't join with SATAN to cause the Drought either, so there!  

Just kidding, some of you are reasonable and humorous.

		<description>I see Drought, it appears you can't logically debate the subject (which I did not bring up on this post), so you try to attack and wedge against sensible people who side with me. Now that is "thuggery" and is a clear sign that you have lost the debate. By the way,  I don't watch gore movies whether they are Al's or a genre so I don't know what you mention above. 

I too am done with this subject. I recently realized that by discussing it, I basically break one of the ten commandments, "thou shalt not have any god's before Me". Clearly, global warming is quasi idolatry/religious when the only question people ask about it is "Do you BELIEVE in global warming?". To engage in discussion implies that it may exist. I only believe in one God and global warming religion doesn't play. There is no proof that global warming exists, so therefore it falls into a "faith" category.

Merry Christmas...I am going to go put a sweater on, its getting downright cold today.

Sincerely, Thug</description>

		<description>Dunno Droughtwatch - never saw the movie.  Honestly I don't know about global warming - I just believe there are two sides to the debate and like to poke fun at those who have closed their mind.  I'm not even entirely sure you are one of them.  Pretty sure Jangle is.  Look at how furious he got that someone might question his belief system.  You've gotta be able to laugh at this stuff.  Anyway, I'm done with this thread.  Join in on another.  I will be happy to debate something that I care more about.</description>

		<description>RichS -   You're right..."annoying agenda that is not clearly articulated" is stronger language than necessary.  My apologies to this list.

However, I've read the above posts.  It's interesting how you consistently side with Sponge...through all his "gleeful" and "smug" comments while castigating the "liberal" opinions expressed here which he clearly disagrees with.  You Sir, gain nothing in the way of credibility siding with a highly partisan opinion guilty of the same tone that you take issue with from liberals. 

BTW - Isn't the use of the phrase "game over" what Jigsaw said in the gore movie "Saw"?  That's a heckuva rhetorical device here.</description>
