It is not enough to be converted. Now is the time for you to convert others.

Obviously, they’re preaching to the perverted. (And they’ve gotten 0% of the Andy-annual box revenues. Losers.)

Posted by andycanuck on 2006 07 19 at 10:05 PM • permalinkThe real alliance is socialists and greens, not liberals and greens. They have the same belief in the evilness of capitalism, the same hatred of the wealthy, and the same desire to control the economy to ‘do good’.

Posted by Pat Patterson on 2006 07 19 at 10:37 PM • permalinkI’ve been taking the loooooong view...watching these guys since the 60s.
They are losing. All of their popularity and power now comes from overblown media attention and strident preaching to a dwindling number of aging like-minded hippies.
No longer do we see the great silent majority (sheeple?) fall into lock-step with ‘conventional wisdom’.
There are too many informations sources now, and moonbat theories can be debunked within hours...you used to have to wait months for a book to come out (and then it was too late). The msm isn’t trusted, and we all know that politicians are scuzbuckets and need to be watched carefully.
Thank the Lord for the Internet. I don’t have to depend on a one trick pony, has-been, lying politician (his lips move) for information.
I’m not sure there really are sheeple anymore...everyone has an opinion that is hard to shake. Fortunately that opinion isn’t green.
#15 thanks for illustrating my point.
End point of socialism: global warming cult.
End point of liberalism: see link at #15.
They are different, you know…Posted by daddy dave on 2006 07 20 at 12:17 AM • permalinkFor Gaia’s sake, I hope they don’t start burning the heretics.
Posted by Bill Spencer on 2006 07 20 at 09:48 AM • permalinkThe “inconvenient truth” is that the entire Arctic ice cap could melt completely away, and it wouldn’t change the sea level at all. Archimedies’ Principles of Buoyancy work the same today as they did when Archi himself was still alive.
Posted by Tatterdemalian on 2006 07 20 at 10:44 AM • permalinkNot quite with you there Tatterdemalian.
Whilst its true that much of Scandinavia is erupting out of the sea before our very eyes as a result of isostatic rebound following the melting of the ice caps over that area a few thousand years ago, there’s not much land under the Atrtic I think.
Buoyancy of what are you meaning?
Cheers.
Posted by Stop Continental Drift! on 2006 07 20 at 04:19 PM • permalinkSCD, I think Tatterdemalian refers to the phenomenon that if you place a glass of water and ice cubes on the table, and come back after the ice cubes have melted, the water level glass changes only from evaporation loss. That’s a demonstration of buoyancy. (The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid.)
Since much of the Arctic ice pack is in fact floating, any melt from that would not change the sea level.
This does not hold for land based ice packs (i.e., glaciers or the Antarctic), of course.

TRJ, don’t you mean that as much of the ice pack is submerged… like this... it won’t increase the water level too much.
Ah, gotcha T_R_J and as a result, Tatts.
Ta.
Posted by Stop Continental Drift! on 2006 07 20 at 06:32 PM • permalinkkae, hmmmmmmm........yeah, probably. So there could be some change in the sea level, from the ice above the waterline, since it doesn’t displace any water.
Good catch.
Posted by The_Real_JeffS on 2006 07 20 at 06:48 PM • permalinkTRJ, I really think that the extra water wouldn’t make that much diff over the whole planet.
Unless Wron and his mates have been messing with the oceans as well as the lakes.... (well, wron, how about it? time to fess up!)

Anyway, when the next ice age comes and there’s ice bridges all over the world, how the hell is Australia going to manage illegal immigrants? Nauru and Christmas Is will prolly be joined to Aus… Huh?"he is attempting to slay the Philistines with the jawbone of an ass.”
Strange, though, that he would use his own jawbone.
But seriously, I think that ever since Gore dropped out of seminary he has longed to be a preacher--of the fire-and-brimstone, anyone-who-doesn’t-join-my-cult-is-an-evil-sinner variety.
TRJ, I really think that the extra water wouldn’t make that much diff over the whole planet.
Probably not, kae. But, in the strict application of buoyancy, you are quite correct. The real lesson here is that climate change is anything but simple.

Check out the real numbers for how much Al’s movie has made. Not quite up there with Bowling for Columbine which had a US take of about $21 million, but nowhere close to Moore’s other “documentary” Fahrenheit 911 at $120 million. Not exactly the Gaia worhippers’ hope of a Passion of the Christ ground swirl.
