98% of all mountain glaciers melting (60 Minutes)

[Nikki Stone 1]

Anyone else watching this global warming story?

[halobeam]

1. I cant catch up on all the stories. I'll need to see this

if I can find a clip... just reading your statement makes me shake my head. Make me think outright, Oh My God.

[Warpy]

2. Yeppers, nicely juxtaposed with the McMansion story

I'm waiting for McMansion fever to hit my area. I'm in a buffer zone between the town's old money area and the ghet-to. I chose the area because it's convenient to everything. I'm sure the well heeled will follow.

Those 20,000 square foot monstrosities use so much more for materials, heating, cooling, and powering all the gadgets that they have to be seen as a contributor to global warming.

4. Haven't yet seen the Mc Mansion story

But these poor polar bears. Female bears are down 50 pounds. Weaker mothers and weaker babies.

[pscot]

23. I wonder if they could be taught to eat politicians.

Nah. Probably make 'em sick. Besides, the logistics would be a nightmare.

[marmar]

3. Damn the truth is inconvenient...

I just worry that it's too late, that the earth is irretrievably f..ked. :scared:

[bronxiteforever]

5. we are the frogs and the water is beginning to boil and we are led

by violent anti-science zealots

[whistle]

6. Are glaciers at the south pole/Antarctica melting now also....

...because if they are that's bad. It is the middle of winter there

[uppityperson]

7. Overall, annually melting. Not just today.

[City Lights]

8. We don't need no stinkin' glaciers.

Hey, all that melting water should help with the drought, no?

:sarcasm:

I'm not watching. I'm already down in the dumps...

[SHRED]

9. This is a dark age...

...and the hour is late.

10. 7-bathroom Mc Mansions

Good lord. For 3 people!

[Warpy]

12. 7 bathrooms, 4 bedrooms, and those ungodly kitchens

that are there only for the maid to polish up. The trophy wife who admitted she'd never COOK in it really said it all about those people.

Useless fucking parasites.

[tanyev]

14. I liked the guy who thought the people opposing it were

just jealous, envious. Uh...no, it's because you want to build a HIDEOUS house on a lot that is way to small for it, sir.

[Nikki Stone 1]

16. She WASN'T going to use it?

Lordy! I have had apartments smaller than that kitchen.

[Nikki Stone 1]

11. The kitchen echos!

How do these people afford this? What are they doing for a living?

[Subdivisions]

13. Stop and think about that for a moment...

...That is some scary shit.

[Nikki Stone 1]

19. And irreversible

That's what is the most frightening.

[CAG]

15. Michael Weiner Savage says its all volcanoes under the sea!

For some reason he believes this is whats causing global warming (hmmm, could it be because this wouldn't be a man-made event versus the other 564 signs that point to global warming that would be man-made??? hmmm)

This is about the least outrageous thing that spews from his orifice.

[killbotfactory]

17. That's just stupid

http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2005/06/how-much-of-the-recent-cosub2sub-increase-is-due-to-human-activities/

Volcanoes also release particles and gasses which reflect light back into space and counteract greenhouse gases.

[BushOut06]

20. I've also heard it's because the sun is getting hotter

If you can believe that BS. Even if these neo-cons admit there is global warming occuring, they'll bend over backwards to say it's not man's fault. Of course not.

I think I'll go on one of the freeper boards and come up with a new "natural" reason. It's the quantum magnetic isospheric field fluctuations that are causing it.

[Nikki Stone 1]

21. "The sun is getting hotter"??

Anything to keep their danged SUVs and Hummers, eh?

And their coal burning plants and their "Clean Air Act" and....

[paparush]

22. OMG - Have you seen Will Ferrel doing Bush** doing Global Warmings..?

Check it out..

18. I am making it my mission

to take photographs of as many glaciers as I can before they're all gone so at least I'll have something to show my grandchildren.
