Have these people no shame, 4th graders… wonder which one is HoodyHoo?
 Poor used and abuse kids.  It is really scary when you examine the lies these kids have been programed with. So let us do that. pressherald.mainetoday.com/story.php?id=113600 
We ought to shut down public schools if this is what they are teaching kids. |

No what is implied is not true, that it had anything to do with global warming... just not true. And on top of that Katrina was not a monster storm when it made landfall in LA. |

Public schools are the haven of leftist indoctrination and socialist thinking. It's nothing new, I'm 49 and it started when I was in high school, they just started sex education (which in those days had nothing whatsoever to do with sex, but it was a foot in the door) and classes like Minorities Literature, which was a code word for Black Literature. Both classes were required and half the time in Minorities Literature we sat around listening to soul music and discussing it's superiority to any other forms of music. Short of getting thrown out of class, which I darn near did on more than one occasion, there was simply no way to fail either class. You could sleep through both of them and get a passing grade. Oh, and I forgot one, this was Washington state and we also had a "Washington Indian History" class. It was so boring I'd forgotten about it. Another required class that was almost impossible to fail. All the Washington Indians ever did was fish for salmon and smoke wacky tobaky around the camp fire. Global warming is just the new leftist fav. In another 5 years it will be replaced with some other lunatic left wing cause that's equally meaningless.

THIS is another reason why homes without a father, whether single mothers or simply absent fathers, are a problem. They end up pussified, which in turn, create males that then do become a father, yet has been ruined from birth, until reality hits them upside the head. |

No, the word "extremely" describing "warm" is INCORRECT. In fact, GoM temps were slightly higher LAST YEAR and we didn't have any serious hurricanes... Yes, you need warm water for a hurricane but that isn't the sole requirement. The atmosphere also has to be correct...we had a low dipping jetstream that killed any low pressure system from forming. Without a low pressure zone, the storms cannot organize (to further drop the pressure and cause circulation). |

Right. Oceans are heated from solar radiation, not convection. Oceans are COOLED by convection as water evaporates, it takes significant heat from the water. This is why London has fog...the Gulf stream carries warm water to the upper Atlantic where dry trade winds evaporate the water, cooling the water (and slightly warming the air) and creating humid air. The idea that global warming will increase hurricane intensity/frequency is ABSURD. Such belief shows complete ignorance of science. |

I'm living on the same tidal cove that my family moved to 52 years ago; spring and neap tides vary of course, and a storm on a full or new moon can make it high. But it still is a mud flat twice a day at low tide, so where is this sea level increase Al Gore is promising us? With a 4 foot increase I could open a marina!

There are some outright lies in that stupid report. Like fourth graders know jack and shit about the complex world around them in the first place.
 These kids need to do better research - Nature accounts for about 90-97% of CO2 emissions. According to them, the United States alone creates over 33% though.

A report of Global Warming from over here in England…
Last month the tree huggers were predicting the hottest and dryest summer since recods began… And what happened? Stuck In The Flood: Weather Wreaks Havoc Updated: 19:12, Friday June 15, 2007 Heavy flooding is continuing to cause chaos after parts of Britain were drenched with a month's worth of rain in a single day. LINK to video… LINK to video…news.sky.com/skynews/video/videoplayer/0,,31200-1270775,.html Motorist braves the water Dozens of people have been trapped, homes flooded and cars stranded after torrential downpours saw up to 7cm of rain fall in 24 hours. In Sutton Coldfield, 42 workers have now been freed after they were stuck inside a factory when the River Tame burst its banks. Floodwaters were nearly two metres deep in places. A search is under way for a 17-year-old soldier, who was swept away in Catterick, North Yorkshire. Three soldiers fell into Risedale Beck on Hipswell Moor, near Catterick Garrison. Advertisement Two were rescued, but soldiers, police, mountain rescue teams and an RAF helicopter are involved in the hunt for the third soldier. In Sheffield, rain storms forced schools to close and a nursing home to be evacuated. A 14-year-old boy was rescued from a swollen stream in the Chapeltown area of Sheffield. Further north in York, 2.5cm of rain fell in just six hours. And in Durham, torrential downpours meant that the first day of the fourth Test between England and the West Indies was a wash out. A driver gets caught out The Environment Agency has had more than 40 flood warnings in place for Norfolk, Suffolk, Yorkshire and Cambridgeshire. Bingley, near Bradford in West Yorkshire, was a particularly wet spot, after being deluged with 7.1cm of rain in 24 hours. There was disruption to train services in Bradford, Skipton and Barnsley in Yorkshire. The Midlands also saw rail commuters facing disrupted services as lines were blocked. Heavy rain is expected to continue in Northern Ireland, Wales, north west England, Yorkshire and Humber, and the West and East Midlands until Sunday. http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,70131-13593331,00.html |

I never said that it was caused by global warming, and I never said that I bought into global warming. I simply pointed out that the paragraph I quoted is true. Katrina was a Cat 1 storm when it crossed south Florida. It turned into a cat 5 storm over the GoM. and when it landed was a cat 3 or 4. The article said it was a "monster." But let's look at that quote as it's written:
this is a true statement
The word monster is meant to give Katrina a personality. Call it anthropormorphism. Of course 4th graders have not a clue in the world about what a single word can do to a statement. "Monster" also begins the fatal falacy in this paragraph, which is the second sentence. The phrase "feeding off the extremely warm water" continues to describe the "monster." The word "extremely" is just an adjective to describe the waters temperature. It has no true meaning to the statement nor does it add to it. So if the kids/teacher wanted to make an acurate statement what they should have said was: "Katrina was cat 1 storm as it crossed southern Florida, but grew to a cat 5 over the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico." |

No not really. You never said that it was caused by global warming but they did and that was the point. Now lets look as the WHOLE quote as written not just part of it.
That whole statement taken in context is false to its core. The intent of the statement was to imply global warming made Katrina stronger, false. |

That wasn't blamed on global warming? We had a drought in Virginia through much of the 90s. It was blamed on global warming. We then had a couple years of serious rain that caused a lot of flash flooding in the early 2000s, that was also blamed on global warming. It's dry. Global warming. It's wet. Global warming. It's hot. Global warming. It's cold. Global warming. |

Because the the intent of the statement is false does not mean that the entire statment is. You can not deny that Katrina was a cat 1 as it passed over Florida.  Max_Mike, I'm not looking to get into a pissing match with you over some stupid liberal taught crap a bunch of 4th graders slapped together so the teacher could get famous over something that you and I both don't give into because the scientific evidence is still out. I'm just pointing out to you the part of the statement that is true. |

How do you separate a statement from its intent? If you do go in to a court of law and make a false statement it does not matter what parts you cut out of it that may be true it is still a false statement and called perjury. Intent is all that counts. You are right we could go around about this all night we will have to agree to disagree. Anyway the point was 4th graders are being unscrupulously used, misinformed, and indoctrinated to believe that this is the fact and we are paying for it. I think we both agree on that. |

Have you guys never heard of the Gulf Stream... a current of warm water that circulates in the Gulf of Mexico? It's always warmer there, and hurricanes always strengthen when they hit the warmer GOM.
That is nothing new. |

The Earth is getting warmer, we just can't prove at, at all, that humans are causing it. Julius Ceaser introduced grapes in England, Vikings lived hundredes of years on northern area's, growng crops on land covered by ice sheets today. Are we entering another of those warm cycles? It would seem so. |

I remember in the 1970s being told that with all the people burning wood for heat because of the oil crisis the state of Maine would be totally deforested in 20 years. Last time I checked the state is still covered in trees.
GW is happening, just not for the reasons that are being pushed by politicians and the media. Besides, GW is good for some people, ask anyone living in Greenland. Global Warming a Boon for Greenland's Farmers |

Here is a good site that explaines a lot about Global Warming. The Science Museum of the National Academy of Sciences.
Please read Its a good read i feel, it covers a lot of ground. "A growing body of evidence indicates that humans now have a significant impact on climate. Nevertheless, it is difficult to identify humans as the only cause of a particular weather event or local climate change." This is how it opens, and it appears to be the only subjective argument in the whole thing. The above quote is a good example of where I stand on the issue. |

Simply not true... there is absolutely a growing realization that warming is caused by the sun. It has also now been shown historically that CO2 increase follows temp. increases and do not causes them. Most governments see this as an opportunity for them to increase their control and that has nothing to do with the science. If you believe China has any intent other than to blow smoke on the issue you also must believe in the tooth fairy… Chinas ACTIONS speak for China’s real intent and that is to build fossil fuel burning power plants as fast as they can. |

If it looks like a power grab, and smells like a power grab, then it is probably a power grab. In order to grab power, the people must be scared of something. Hitler said something needed to be done about the Jews to grab power. Lenin said something had to be done about the bourgeois to grab power. Modern leftists have "global warming" and other such tripe. I suppose that the other planets in the solar system are getting warmer because of human causes? Or just maybe the sun has something to do with it? |

Actually there are scientists that will tell you that increased CO2 comes AFTER warming, is a result, not a cause of warming. Also, did you know that we have so much pollution here that it is spilling off Earth and also warming Mars (polar caps shrinking), as well as the outer planets and moons of those planets? (That is supposed to be sarcasm, guys) The SUN is in a period of increased output (this is cyclical) and warming the whole solar system... including Earth. So, which do you prefer, warmer weather, increased growing seasons, increased farmable land, or another ice age with starvation and death? |

Spent too much time at the referenced site. WHat I didn't find: Oxygen catastrophe. This is when cyanobacteria arose in the primordial oceans, giving rise to oxygen and absorbing most CO2. These organisms lived in an environment that by the CURRENT assumption, mush have had seas at nearly the boiling point. That cyanobacteria exist today AND PROVIDE OVER 80% OF OUR OXYGEN IS A BIG CLUE TO THE IGNORANCE HERE. Iron Hypothesis. Back when cyanobacteria evolved, iron was prevalent in lower oxidation states due to the LACK OF OXYGEN thanks to CARBON sequestering oxygen. Once cyanobacteria had released oxygen, iron in oceans was oxidized to the higher oxidation states, becoming LESS bioactive, thus reducing the iron concentration in ocean water. But cyanobacteria NEEDS some iron to function... Meanwhile, while cyanobacteria is working on turning CO2 to O2 and elemental C, other roganisms are grazing on cyanobacteria, turning that carbon into anoxic sludge, making the prototypes for fossil fuels. And in the 3.4 billion years, NOTHING HAS CHANGED. Except iron concentrations in the oceans. Every few months, stroms blow iron-laden dust into oceans. When the Industrial Revolution was in full swing, burning high sulfur bitiminous and lignite coals, the additon of SOx to the environment allowed dust iron to fertilize cyanobacteria, effectively reducing the concentration of carbon dioxide. But what have we done in the past 50 years? Reduce the sulfur emissions and thusly, decreased the bioavailability of dust iron to cyanobacteria in the oceans. |
