Is this what Global Warming enthusiasts forsee ?
And since when do rational people believe things that are only 'forseen' and not proven ?

Hey Jerry, ever since I was a kid I always wondered. . . . .. doesn't it depend on what direction you're heading ???

After a cooling period began in 1945, and continued for two decades Global Cooling was a grave concern for the Liberal set.
In 1966 Cesare Emiliani predicted that "a new glaciation will begin within a few thousand years."
By 1972 a large majority of a group of leading glacial-epoch experts at a conference agreed that "the natural end of our warm epoch is undoubtedly near"
An April 28, 1975 Newsweek article titled "The Cooling World," decried "the evidence in support of these predictions [of global cooling] has now begun to accumulate so massively that meteorologists are hard-pressed to keep up with it." The Newsweek article incouraged "simple measures of stockpiling food". The article ended by claiming that "The longer the planners (politicians) delay, the more difficult will they find it to cope with climatic change once the results become grim reality."

By the way, you have the best singing voice. You should drop the Dr. gig and go into the music biz. How about this for a movie title; "Ernest goes to American Idol". You know what I mean, Vern?

The problem is that there aren't enough rational people out there! I'm old enough to remember when the wackos' doom and gloom story was the coming of an ice age! So before the scare story was that our children were going to freeze to death--now it's that our children are going to burn up! Unfortunately, if something is said often enough, some people will believe it is true!

Did anyone else see 60 minutes tonight? I wonder how many conservatives know that even Bill O'Reilly says "global warming is here" and that it's "ridiculous" to say otherwise?

I forsee that the sun will rise tomorrow. I can't prove it, but I am certain that this will occur. All available evidence points to this theory, so I'm going with it.

Finally, something I like, and probably caused the downfall of my youth.
Do you really think they see that far ahead? It's probably a subject that belongs in Hollywood, as demonstrated by the Oscar.

Its as proven as a weather prediction...... a bit more than just 'forseen'.

When severe weather is predicted, take shelter.
