i hear alot of scientific mumbo jumbo being thrown about. its all theory! of course we have global warming, thats a given fact. its also a fact that the earth has been warming since before man became mechanized and started making contributions to the CO2 content of the atmosphere. where i sit right now, there were glaciers several hundred years ago, man had zero to do with the glaciers dissappearing. al gore and his "scientist" buddies have found a nice way to make a buck, and scare the ignorant sheeple! thats all there is to it.

He's a substitute, they won't do squat. Regular teachers may expect some support by the teacher's assoc., but subs aren't considered part of the system.
I con't help but feel there's more to it than what this guy is claiming, HE says he was fired for wizardry, does the school district say that too? I can't imagine that being put down as a reason by any sane administrator.

Obviously, you don't read Florida news. This sounds right up their alley. I am telling you it is a whole other country over there.

He wasn't officially fired; you don't need to fire a substitute teacher. you just stop calling them when you need someone.

I'll try it tomorrow at work, Rich. My wireless internet connection has gone all to hell. I think I fried my modem.; I have to reconnect every two or three minutes, and two times out of three it tells me I've entered a bad username or password

Obviously global warming is caused by the increasing population on Earth. Too much body heat. I win!

Well, sweetie, since the average body temp of gun and game members seems to go up several degrees anytime you show up, I'm certainly not going to argue with you...

I think so; the problem started in the middle of a video game last week, and has gotten steadily worse. Video games are a lot of intensive graphics to be sending and receiving over a cell tower broadband. It's a USB modem, and I had it plugged directly into the side of my laptop where most of the hot air blows when it's setting on a chill mat.

I'll be home tomorrow; I'll take it down to the Verizon store and see whether it's a fried modem, corrupted drivers or what. I tried to get into the drivers to get a look at them, because I know which line will be garbled if they're bad, but I haven't learned my way around this !@#$%^ Windows Vista. Every time I try to bring them up and look at them, it runs them instead of showing them to me.

Al's got plenty of hot air, that's for sure......

Maybe he could start doing something useful !

Cold down here as well but finally warming up.

I'm beginning to think summer's never gonna get here. Maybe it IS the beginning of an ice age! Last year, it was beautiful, at this time. I haven't even thought about summer clothes, yet. And I'm about to give up on getting the boat in the water. I went out and started it, yesterday, and the old 455 purrs like a kitten. But I ain't about to go out there and freeze worse than I'm freezing, right now!

Go ahead; rub it in. I've been at work for four hours, and have another eight to go.

So the buoys mentioned are seeing a slight cooling trend in the upper layers of the ocean. So that proves global warming isn't happening at all? That's hardly the only indicator of whether global warming is happening or not. And if the oceans are turning over like a lake in spring, it isn't even a good one. How about checking out the glaciers that are melting in your own state? What's your explanation for that, if the world as a whole is cooling instead of warming?

And I'd say Gore's 'green' investments are a case of him putting his money where his mouth is.

T2K, them are long hours, and it's too cold for shootin', here. Got CGO out for a little while yesterday, but it was chilly, as well. You'd get a kick out of the looks my old California jetdrive gets, out here in OK land. I just hope it warms up enough to put it in the water, without having to wear a wetsuit! The funniest thing is they got bass boats out here that go way faster than that old jet boat! They're always wantin' to race! Cracks me up!!

Global CLIMATE CHANGE is certainly occuring - but I remain unconvinced that man is the primal cause. We are certainly doing some very bad damage with our pollution and over-crowding. But I still believe the climate is part of a misunderstood cylical event.
Some parts are heating and some are cooling - depends on where you are.
In some ways it's a good thing - many northerly AO's will have longer crop seasons.

I live in Florida and there are quite a few kids in my school who practice wizardry. There are also many, many, many bible thumpers...My school is a hodgepoge of different people, you have the black ghetto kids, the redneck boony kids, the preppy rich snots, the surfers, the gothic kids, the punk kids...you get my drift. From my point of view I wouldnt be surprised if something like this happened.

You know that global warming could trigger an ice age? I heard that from 2 nerdy nasa scientists my dad is buddies with (They went to college together, hes a physician). They said it was something like global warming pushes the earths climate and a bunch of other junk over a tipping point and the climate would just slide down over a few hundred years into another ice age.....but modern society has never experienced something like this so no one can be 100% sure what will happen, one thing we can be sure of is that we are in for some interesting times ahead...

Please read up on the Melankovich (sp) cycle to see an interesting cog to the global warming cycle.

OK--I admit it....I'm a wizard.....

I'm warming the earth, and driving up oil prices as well.

If you send me money, I'll cool the earth and oil prices will go back down.

Oh wait a minute, someone's already beat me to the scam
