  1. So then Nova has a program telling us that the Sun is actually cooling off.
    I wonder how long before we're hearing cries of GLOBAL COOLING again?

    Can you say, normal cyclic variations?

    Tom: What was the length of the cooling sun cycle Nova spoke of? As in, is
    this something we have to worry about in the next 500 years, or 5,000?

    Over the short term, the only periodic fluctuations in sun activity that I'm
    aware of involve sunspots, and that's what, a 7 or 14-year cycle? Too short
    to be a contributing factor to a moderately long-term climate trend. For sun
    "cooling" to be a factor, regarding global warming as currently discussed,
    I'd think we'd be discussing cycles of maybe 50-500 years. Was that the
    case?

    Or was it even a "cycle" they were talking about? If it's just a gradual
    cooling trend, how does that fit in with "normal cyclic variations?"

    Have you discussed any of this with Andre Jute?

    Thanks-

    Ted Turner was on TV this morning saying that within 40 years people will be
    eating each other in a world turned into a horror story of global warming
    with nature destroyed utterly.

    Time for him to write the ELF another check.

    This doesn't happen according to Howard though. This must have been

    Just so there's no mistake - Turner really DID say that the world average
    temperature would be 8 degrees hotter and people in the United States would
    be eating each other in about 40 years. He also implied that we ought to
    kill off a lot of people because it is the population density which is the
    problem....

    Dude,

    I don't know what Howard did to get under your
    skin, and frankly, I don't care. You can have your
    beef, but stop dragging it into every on and off topic
    thread. Posting some random stuff from some
    think tank hack about how ELF, ALF, Mork and Mindy
    bombed a McDonalds has nothing to do with
    Ted Turner or global warming. And continually
    assigning opinions to other people (Howard in
    this case) is similar to the Kunichian "So you think
    that ..." mode of argument. Hang people by quoting
    their own words, not those of others.

    Ben

    p.s. Let's have a moment of silence for Pam Dawber,
    the first Earthling to be offered up as a sacrifice to the
    gruesome, horrifying alien creature known as
    "Robin Williams."

    What's funny about this is the practice of little cowards such as yourself
    to not actually say what you mean. Then complain when someone asks you if
    you really meant what you almost said.

    Ben did you read the piece? It's right there in plain laguage. I
    throw it in when it's relevant. In this case it's Mainstream leftist
    folks providing support and funding for environmental terrorist
    nutcases.
    The [censored] with Howard is that he flat out denies ANY of this ever
    happens, or when confronted with evidence claims it's only a few
    nutcases. It's not, unless you consider some of the left's biggest
    most influential donors and spokespeople to be nutcases, and
    insignificant.
    How is it that not relevant?
    This whole issue is way to important to be anything but brutally
    open, honest, and up front about. Protecting, and funding extremists,
    discredits the groups that are doing it. It's bad enough we've got a
    bunch on scumbags appointed, and committed to mining and drilling our
    public lands here, but when environmental groups, and their supporters
    tie themselves to the violent nutjobs it damages all of us.
    It let's Tom, and others point to the nutcases and deny everything
    they say. Case closed in their minds.
    You can't EVER reach a decent understanding, or solution without
    hearing ALL the points and connections on an issue, no matter how
    ugly, or offensive.

    What are the facts? Again and again and again--what are the facts? Shun
    wishful thinking, ignore divine revelation, forget what "the stars
    foretell," avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never
    mind the unguessable "verdict of history"; what are the facts, and to
    how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future;
    facts are your single clue. Get the facts!

    He was also big on civility, and we KNOW I think Tom fails that
    miserably, but so do others towards him. I'd much prefer not to read
    any of it.

    Lord have mercy. First it was RicodJour's reference to

    someone with a boot fetish brings up the original Star

    For some of us it is the tweaks of Partridge Family
