  1. 12 - on Sunday , 06/25/2017, distribution of RV. Well one can dream can't they? B/A
  2. I think the point is we can do better... We have technology to eliminate fossil fuels, if not completely at least dramatically, and yet people want coal, oil etc... We can do better and help the environment. If you see a fire, you don't put it out with gasoline... Although some here would deny gasoline actually burns. B/A
  3. I completely agree, the earth will recover. Much like our bodies fight off infection, to the earth mankind is a virus and is making the earth sick. Sucking the life out of it by deforestation, burning fossil fuels, planting nuclear waste in the ground or whatever else you can think of the earth will eradicate us. Within the timeline of the earth's billions of years of history we (mankind) are simply a blip on the screen. Like many things in recorded history we will come and we will go. As for you not believing the oceans are rising, well I guess you can live in denial of simple factual numbers. But if you do own beachfront property in Florida, I would be taking out flood insurance if I were you.... B/A
  4. Can you say fish fry? The big fish are going to fry this little fish. B/A
  5. I feel sorry for those living in denial, especially those along the coast... I can't wait for Atlanta to become beachfront property... B/A
  6. I love Sargent Shultz... Sadly this applies to most of the political world. B/A
  7. Not that it matters or that it is fake.... But interesting notheless. Science & Environment Antarctic ice crack takes major turn By Jonathan Amos BBC Science Correspondent 31 May 2017 Share Copy this link http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-40113393 There has been an important development in the big crack cutting across the Larsen C Ice Shelf in Antarctica. The fissure, which threatens to spawn one of the biggest bergs ever seen, has dramatically changed direction. "The rift has propagated a further 16km, with a significant apparent right turn towards the end, moving the tip 13km from the ice edge," said Swansea University's Prof Adrian Luckman. The calving of the berg could now be very close, he told BBC News. However, he also quickly added that nothing was certain. The fissure currently extends for about 200km in length, tracing the outline of a putative berg that covers some 5,000 sq km - an area about a quarter of the size of Wales. The crack put on its latest spurt between 25 May and 31 May. These dates were the two most recent passes of the European Union's Sentinel-1 satellites. Their radar vision is keeping up a constant watch as the White Continent moves into the darkness of deep winter. After some initial activity at the beginning of the year, the Larsen crack became stationary as it entered what is termed a "suture" zone - a region of soft, flexible ice. But this situation held only until the beginning of May, when the rift tip then suddenly forked. And it is the new branch that has now extended and turned towards the ocean. Image copyright NASA When the berg's calving does finally take place, the block will probably drift away quite gradually from the ice shelf. "It's unlikely to be fast because the Weddell Sea is full of sea-ice, but it'll certainly be faster than the last few months of gradual parting. It will depend on the currents and winds," explained Prof Luckman. Taking out such a large chunk of ice would mean the Larsen C shelf would lose more than 10% of its area. Previous research by the Swansea group has shown that this will put the shelf in a much less stable configuration. Similar calving events on the more northerly Larsen A and Larsen B ice shelves eventually led to their total break-up. Scientists are concerned that this same fate could now await Larsen C. Were the shelf to collapse (and even if it did, it would still take many years to complete), it would continue a trend across the Antarctic Peninsula. In recent decades, a dozen major ice shelves have disintegrated, significantly retreated or lost substantial volume - including Prince Gustav Channel, Larsen Inlet, Larsen A, Larsen B, Wordie, Muller, Jones Channel, and Wilkins. Prof Luckman's MIDAS Project is posting updates on the Larsen crack on its blog, and on its Twitter feed. B/A
  8. Dang I thought it was going to be hot chicks in wet "Make America Great Again" tee-shirts!!! B/A
  9. How barbaric.... I wasn't talking about eating whales, just killing them for their fantastic source of fuel. Because according to our new administration old technology is the way to go. Let's not lead the world into the future, let's follow behind like Syria and Nicaragua... Now that's HUGE! B/A
  10. Yes we should follow the leaders to the future. We don't need to lead. We all know that renewable energy is a waste and burning fossil fuel is a better way to go... Hey here's an idea, why don't we just start killing whales again for their blubber... That'll keep the lights on. Just don't chase them off the edge of the earth. B/A
  11. Loved her then, hate her now... That's the Trumpster's way... As for Sununu..... Ha Ha Ha Ha... He has zero credibility! He is one of the biggest swamp dwellers. B/A
  12. I said it was a conspiracy.... Geeez, you know like how the DNC killed that guy that Sean Hannity was lying about... B/A
  13. Sorry I can't get behind a murderer... Maybe you should move here, to The United States of Amnesia. Eradicate your own people last year and you're a good guy this year. I guess you'll start believing Syria's dictator next.... B/A
  14. That lefty rag???? Who believes the MSM? I guess everyone does when it works for their perspective... And yes I believe she is a crooked as the rest of them... B/A
  15. Seriously... Asteroids hit all the time... Or is that fake news? You people live in a dream world. B/A
  16. Now here is a conspiracy for you... LOL B/A MSNBC host stunned when spy catcher insists Jared Kushner is ‘absolutely’ a Russian agent Brad Reed 29 May 2017 at 10:48 ET Former FBI double agent Naveed Jamali talks on MSNBC (Screen cap). MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle reacted with shock on Monday when one of her guests insisted that Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner should now be considered a Russian agent. Naveed Jamali, a former FBI double agent and author of the book How to Catch a Russian Spy, stunned Ruhle when he insisted that Kushner is “absolutely” a Russian agent, and he said that we already have enough information to determine that he has been compromised by Russia. “We already have Michael Flynn, we already have a relationship with the Russians that goes back to at least 2014,” he explained. “I think the FBI is going to look back, three to four years, to see if there’s potentially more connections to the Russians.” Ruhle was still skeptical about Jamali’s assertion, however, and said that accusing Kushner of being a Russian agent was “kind of a stretch.” Jamali, however, didn’t back down, and pointed out that many people become agents of foreign powers without realizing what they’re doing until after they’ve been compromised. “This is how it happens,” he explained. “In this case, I think, it could have been, perhaps, an innocent decision to try to make contact with them. And that’s how you start these things. The term ‘Russian agent’ is perhaps not what people think of in the movies. When you have someone who fails to register as a foreign agent, for example, that is what I’m talking about. This could be someone who started a relationship that was frankly inappropriate, that skirted the law, and then it made a hard-left turn.”
  17. This is obviously an opinion piece, but we have yet to see what the Senate comes up with.... I'm just glad I'm not old and sick, I wouldn't want my country who I've worked so hard for to forget me... B/A
