Cashed-mir,

This is my last attempt to motivate you to engage your brain, I fear however that you are a like most liberals, a hopeless case intent on sucking up whatever pablum the mainstream press, the DNC and the kook fringe puts out there.

I am the buster of clusters both great and small, and you my friend are a miniscule leftist that I will waste no more of my time with.

Regards,

Clusterbuster

You are such a pliable, manipulated poltroon Casmir. It is both sad & quite telling at the same time how absolutely intellectually vacant the liberals and their supporters have become. But I encourage you to keep speaking and writing your warped and bankrupt views so we can all enjoy your moronic rants.

Alarmist global warming claims melt under scientific scrutiny

In his new book, The Assault on Reason, Al Gore pleads, "We must stop tolerating the rejection and distortion of science. We must insist on an end to the cynical use of pseudo-studies known to be false for the purpose of intentionally clouding the public's ability to discern the truth." Gore repeatedly asks that science and reason displace cynical political posturing as the central focus of public discourse.
If Gore really means what he writes, he has an opportunity to make a difference by leading by example on the issue of global warming.
A cooperative and productive discussion of global warming must be open and honest regarding the science. Global warming threats ought to be studied and mitigated, and they should not be deliberately exaggerated as a means of building support for a desired political position.
Many of the assertions Gore makes in his movie, ''An Inconvenient Truth,'' have been refuted by science, both before and after he made them. Gore can show sincerity in his plea for scientific honesty by publicly acknowledging where science has rebutted his claims.
For example, Gore claims that Himalayan glaciers are shrinking and global warming is to blame. Yet the September 2006 issue of the American Meteorological Society's Journal of Climate reported, "Glaciers are growing in the Himalayan Mountains, confounding global warming alarmists who recently claimed the glaciers were shrinking and that global warming was to blame."
Gore claims the snowcap atop Africa's Mt. Kilimanjaro is shrinking and that global warming is to blame. Yet according to the November 23, 2003, issue of Nature magazine, "Although it's tempting to blame the ice loss on global warming, researchers think that deforestation of the mountain's foothills is the more likely culprit. Without the forests' humidity, previously moisture-laden winds blew dry. No longer replenished with water, the ice is evaporating in the strong equatorial sunshine."
Gore claims global warming is causing more tornadoes. Yet the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change stated in February that there has been no scientific link established between global warming and tornadoes.
Gore claims global warming is causing more frequent and severe hurricanes. However, hurricane expert Chris Landsea published a study on May 1 documenting that hurricane activity is no higher now than in decades past. Hurricane expert William Gray reported just a few days earlier, on April 27, that the number of major hurricanes making landfall on the U.S. Atlantic coast has declined in the past 40 years. Hurricane scientists reported in the April 18 Geophysical Research Letters that global warming enhances wind shear, which will prevent a significant increase in future hurricane activity.
Gore claims global warming is causing an expansion of African deserts. However, the Sept. 16, 2002, issue of New Scientist reports, "Africa's deserts are in 'spectacular' retreat . . . making farming viable again in what were some of the most arid parts of Africa."
Gore argues Greenland is in rapid meltdown, and that this threatens to raise sea levels by 20 feet. But according to a 2005 study in the Journal of Glaciology, "the Greenland ice sheet is thinning at the margins and growing inland, with a small overall mass gain." In late 2006, researchers at the Danish Meteorological Institute reported that the past two decades were the coldest for Greenland since the 1910s.
Gore claims the Antarctic ice sheet is melting because of global warming. Yet the Jan. 14, 2002, issue of Nature magazine reported Antarctica as a whole has been dramatically cooling for decades. More recently, scientists reported in the September 2006 issue of the British journal Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society Series A: Mathematical, Physical, and Engineering Sciences, that satellite measurements of the Antarctic ice sheet showed significant growth between 1992 and 2003. And the U.N. Climate Change panel reported in February 2007 that Antarctica is unlikely to lose any ice mass during the remainder of the century.
Each of these cases provides an opportunity for Gore to lead by example in his call for an end to the distortion of science. Will he rise to the occasion? Only time will tell.

Hey, that's about as conservative - and as ignorant - as you can get. What does global warming have to do with the "Hate America" crowd. Not sure how you make a leap like that, unless you can also make it across the Grand Canyon. Even the GOP is starting to recognize the perils of global warming. Every day there's a story out there that supports it and anybody that still doesn't believe it has a head that would fit old Clusterbuster's tinfoil hat. Anonymous, kind of a strange name, isn't it?

Hey Casmir, lets start with this fact; polar bears can swim. You likely beleive that korans were flushed down toilets at Gitmo (even though they should) when the koran is too large to fit. How completely sad that you are roped into all this absolute rubbish spewn by the hate America first crowd. What happened to you that makes you depressed, negitive and bitter? Where you beat up in grade school, kicked in the knees by your ballet coach or raised by a couple of dope smoking plastic banana, good time rock & roll FM type liberals?

Okay, then how do explain the rise in ocean temps, the melting of glaciers, the elevation of sea levels and the sad deaths of polar bears stranded on ice floes? Do you keep your tinfoil hat on when you bury your head in the sand?

Absolutely, global warming is currently the biggest modern day fraud and ranks right up there with the corruption at the UN and their sheer ineptitude and ineffectiveness.

Hey, Clusterbuster, sounds like your tinfoil hat is a better fit. Are you trying to say you don't believe in global warming? Give me a break.

"It's clearly just another case of global warming. The winters are getting colder, spring barely lasts a week orso and Halloween was so freezing that the little kids almost got frostbite. Hopefully Al Gore will enter the race for '08, win and help put an end to these terrible climate conditions. Then we might not have to water so much. There's no hope if a Republican gets in."

The tinfoil hat crowd chimes in.

Casimir why are you so depressed and worried? The liberals have successfully scared you, how utterly pathetic.

Water is something I pay for. If the city is incapable of providing something as simple water then they should be voted out of office. Look at how Pradel and the rest of them mismanged the Bell Tower debacle. If I were to run for office I would promise to do everything could to tear down that monstrosity, improve overall traffic flow and make homeowner permits / requests easier and less confiscatory.

Thanks for responding! No, the weeds seem to thrive no matter how harsh the conditions. I have a long, gravel driveway and I learned a trick from an asphalt contractor a few years ago that works for me: I spread a few 50-pound bags of rock salt over the gravel in the spring, and it keeps the weeds from growing through the rocks. It's cheaper than weed killer, and does the trick.

Why don't they find Lisa Stebic and then the water police can go around and bust folks for watering. Between all the building restrictions, horrid traffic control with unsycornized stoplights everywhere but on route 59 specifically, and watering rules the area is turning into a Stalinist freakshow.

I water when I want to and when I can I do not have the luxury of being home all the time like some limp wristed liberal that doesn't work and can water when the city says it's ok to water.

I care about my vegetable garden, my flowers and my trees. I dont' water the grass. If it dies, so be it.

I wish that it would get hot and dry enough to kill my weeds. That never seems to happen, does it?

I thought that too however a few years back when we had the drought I ended up having to pay a landscaper to repair all the damage to the lawn. I'm not making that mistake again. I will water!
