" KATT DOB=68 for those wondering if I remember the '70's or tripped my way thru them.

I think we need 2 balance appreciation of your experience w/ understanding that there's value in new thinking as well. And there is value in both.

Focusing back on climate change, I'm aware of the arguement for cooling in the 70's. That's 35 years ago. Science & technology have rolled forward greatly in the interim. I think you need to look at the new information in that context. We are perfecting our understanding. "

" It has been PROVEN recently that the world is now cooling down. Global warming as you call it is NATURE taking its course. All you tree huggers need to LEAVE Alaska.......NOW "

" my bet would be that maxx was maxed out on psychodelics, and lot's-o-weed.

You see, Maxx is like all the tree huggers, save the world, but hand-outs make the world go-round.

Ha! maxx, i had to do it! "

" To Ben C;
Maxx probably can't remember that. Judging my his blogs, I'd say he wasn't born yet back then. "

" Does anybody else remember the '70s when we were all subjected to similar brainwashing only it was global COOLING we were being told was the harbinger of doom? The scientists and such all proved that the world was cooling and we were entering another ice age? WOW! Those amazing greenies and thier know-it-all research have somehow said that in the span of just a few decades, we have went from global cooling to global warming but both are due to the same reasons!

" I hope ALGORE and the others are right.
4 more feet of ocean and I won't have to wait to launch my boat at low tide anymore.
10 degrees warmer every day as we're nearing the end of a long dark cold winter sounds good too.
Looks like we picked the right place to live, but don't toss your arctic gear just yet. It wasn't so long ago that it took a bunch of tired sailors to point out to all the genius's that the horizon is curved because the earth is round. "

" The ICECAP groups is not a science based group but a political organization. They do not do their own studies but piece together bits from other studies to support an agenda. This happens in other groups supporting golbal warming as well. There are org's that are pretty much neutral like the Line Offices of the NOAA where raw data is available for you to study and make up your own mind. To understand the data you will need a pretty strong background in math, chemistry, physics and statistics. But even without that a lot can be understood. "

" Global Warming is now Climate Change. War on Terror is now Overseas Contingency Operation. I will say it again. If I had the brains to invent this bunch of B.S. about global warming I would be laughing ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK!!! Anyway, it's nice to know that more people are realizing what a farce people like Gore (and soon, Obama) and their beliefs are. "

Seems to me there is nothing else that really needs to be said on this issue. "

now they're talking a sales tax nationwide.
impeach this dipsheizer now, but it may already be too late. "

" To JP...regarding trees within 100 miles..that's true...especially if they have knot holes. :-)

You must be going crazy JP. Every time you click the remote you've got Obama on another channel. 60 minutes, Jay Leno, the Wash Wizzard Game. I'll bet any day now you go Elvis on your set and put a bullet in it. "

" Silly liberal...it has to be one OR the other with you small-minded people, doesn't it. Here's an even better idea...you develope alternative energy WHILE STILL taking advantage of what we have now so you can ease from one to the other! But not to idiot greenies! They think it makes sense to stop one before the other one is ready to go! Kind of like letting go of one vine before you have your hand on the other! "




Jim from Boston wrote on Mar 26, 2009 8:12 AM:

" Drill Baby Drill !!!

Drill like there's no tomorrow and there may not be.

Why not invest in alternatives? What's the worst that can happen. We employ people and develop useful technologies. The net cost is probably not large and we may likely profit.

Seems a smart hedge for the possibility that the deniers are wrong. "

" and one more thing about maxx that he didn't mention;

If there's a tree within 100 miles, he'll hug it!

just messin with ya maxx :-) "

" Uncle Jed... I am weird...but I think some of "my" posts that are confounding you may be by my shadow imposter poster. (I am honored ot have one.)

Here's a user guide for you. If the post is witty, adds value/understanding, introduces content from a qualilty 3rd party source, and is sufficiently snarky...it's the real KATT.

If it's dopey...it's the other guy. "

" I look at it this way;

We humans are like hoards of locusts, we are the predator, the "infestation" as it will, we only are driven by one thing, that being greed. We will most assuredly be responsible for our own demise.
There is no way around it. Deal with it, and make the best of it. "

" I wish your column could be disseminated to all of the brainless so-called "mainstream media" morons who keep spouting the Chicken Little garbage.

Anthropogenic global warming is a complete and total fraud. You have morons like Obama who want to use such a flawed theory to raise trillions of dollars in indirect taxation and the lying "scientists" who get their grants paid for by the same moron. It's a huge Ponzi scheme which is utterly despicable. "

" Yes, I wanna be just like you, MaxKatt.

I've read several of your comments regarding various topics, and you're my new hero!

From now on I'll join you in swallowing every pill the gov't tells me to, even if it's a really bad one.

I know! Let's get some shirts with the letter L for lemming...And can I hold your hand so we can go off Obama's cliff together?

Talk to ya later new buddy! "




northern dave wrote on Mar 21, 2009 10:24 AM:

" Also, how come the fact is conveniently omitted that nearly every scientist or group that reports all the evidence of global warming is PAID by environmentalist groups? When you look at the truly indepedent studies, you get results all over the board that state, year after year, that global warming is 'inconclusive' based on the date. Of course, THOSE studies are never discussed or introduced by Gore or any of the high-dollar, green-funded groups. It's kind of like the media...society is spoon-fed a sliver of slanted information to support the presenter's point of view. "

" Mike- They Copenhagen group does seem to indicate man has an impact.

"The group called on policy-makers to use all tools available to reduce dangerous emissions of greenhouse gases." "

" Sheesh. Maxkatt from NY. Whatever. This is the young un from that cesspool known as new york that thinks Alaska is nothing but flat frozen tundra with people living in igloos, polar bears, etc. Was all suprised that we grow vegetables up here (yes, I saw and snickered at that post too). Maybe he believes in the global warming brainwashing because the smell of rotting corpses in the alleys is stronger than usual this year. "




northern dave wrote on Mar 20, 2009 11:50 AM:

" How come when loony-tune Gore and the rest of the 'feel-good' pack talk about changes in the environment, they don't talk about the number of glaciers that are GROWING in size (just as many as are shrinking)? Those areas in the world that are reporting either no change in average temp or LOWER temps? That ice shelves have been breaking off Antartica and then re-growing for millions of years? How come they only show a sliver of science that supports thier opinion vs. the equal amounts of science that doesn't support thier warm, fuzzy 'mother earth' bunk? "




Mike wrote on Mar 20, 2009 11:43 AM:

" If you read the CNN piece max references it doesn't say a thing about man's ability to affect the changes one way or the other. Could it be that the mainstream environmental wackos have realized that horse is dead?

" Carl's thoughtful piece holds more sway for me than MAX from NY. The NY guy doesn't even know we can grow our own food in Alaska (see earlier post). How's that for science and knowledge? "

" I think I'll continue 2 side w/ scientists who have spent their lives studying this vs. local pol who ends his note w/ reference 2 God.

Given conclussion the group of 700 in NY came to I'm going to guess they were heavy on the policy & economist guys, & light on scientists.

Ironically, this same week, (3/13/9) CNN reported a group of SCIENTISTS more than twice as large (2,000 researchers) as the NY group met in Copenhagen & reached a much different conclussion:

" The Earth has been warming and cooling for millions of years. Only human arrogance assumes that it only does so now because of us. The amount of carbon in the atmosphere sounds impressive when given in number of tons. But if looked at another way; if the atmosphere was represented as a football field, the amount of carbon would measure 1/2" of the white stripe at the endzone. Still, there's no denying that curbing the amount we pollute into the atmosphere can only be beneficial. "
