The scientific consensus is that there is global warming.
And legion- I will go to the 12/3 meet up if you promise to be there. No pressure. (Be there).
“Why do I have to eat the worm??? NO FAIR!”
Because out of all of us, Snappy, you love “creepy crawlers” the best.
Did anyone else have Creepy Crawlers as a kid?
Legion-
Nearly all pregnancies are viable after the 27th week (7 months), and NO pregnancies are viable before the 21st week. 27 weeks is 7 months pregnant.
The majority of abortions preformed at at the 13-15 weeks stage. The amount of abortions preformed after 24 weeks is less than 1% and usually are done because it poses an imminent threat to the woman’s life/safety.
“I don’t understand why would anyone argue against this.”
Uh, Biff, have you ever READ the OT? LOL.

OH, Christ no. It’s bad enough when I try to catch up after being out to lunch for an hour and a half.
It’s like being sober and meeting up with your friends who have all been drinking for 5-6 hours.
“I don’t understand why would anyone argue against this”
Well,allow me to do so.
It is all very nice for us here on the east coast to argue for things like cap-and-trade, since we don’t manufacture anything here anymore.
Who will take the hit from cap-and-trade? Manufacturers, that’s who – the sector of the economy that has been hit the hardest.
You want to see the US lose the rest of its industry? Hit them up with cap-and-trade. Yeah, that’s the ticket for making sure that the rest of it is packed off to China. Of course, neither China nor Indai will hear a thing about caps, because they, unlike us, still care about their manufacturing sector.
So, to anwer your question: I don’t want to see our economy have another shackle put on it for the sake of some phenomenon that is not yet proven.
dibs- actually it is based on quite a bit more than modeling and conjecture.
“I don’t understand why would anyone argue against this.”

11217,
but I was only pointing you to the scientific consensus.
now who is being close minded?
you see 11217, there is the double edged sword.
“I can’t commit. Honestly, with people like Minard, stevieb/bbb on my case (and do it with such hatred and contempt) I am concerned about meeting up in person.”
11217:
First, NONE of them come out drinking with us;
B. I used to spar with Pete and more4less (and YOU for that matter), and now I go out drinking with them; and
(iii) You feel much differently about people after you’ve met them in person and had a drink with them – you’ve been sparring with Legion all afternoon, and he came out to meet us at UHall, and he’s a great guy.
(I’ve missed my calling – I wonder if the Hare Krishnas are hiring.)
