    yep, same here.

    that’s why it boggles my f-ing mind why people give a crap that the earth’s temperature might go up 2 degrees like 200 years from now. yeah yeah yeah i know, your grandbabies will be around, but when it comes down to it, 99.9 percent of earth’s population doesnt give a crap anyway

  2. Apparently Stevieb missed this one on his Bloomberg newsfeed:

    ****
    Dec. 10 (Bloomberg) — Household wealth in the U.S. increased by $2.67 trillion in the third quarter as stock prices and home values climbed, putting consumers farther along the path of recovery from the biggest destruction of assets on record.

    American consumers also reduced debt at a record pace last quarter, the figures showed, paving the way for sustained spending gains next year. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index was up 32 percent in the six months to September, the biggest two-quarter gain since 1975, while home values increased by $244.7 billion, according to the report.

    2) sports

  5. Thanks for the link, Legion. Do you know what man-made factors are attributed to the mini ice age? I noticed that was one for the four factors. Are you aware of any substantial body of scientific evidence attributing the current and projected climb to specific identified non-man-made factors?
